How far along? 17weeks, holy cow! We are thankful every week. =)
Total weight gain/loss: It was a good run, but I finally gained some weight. At home, I am up about 1.5-2 pounds. I like the doctors scale better...
Sleep: still,going great! I haven't been as tired, so I'm getting back to my normal 10:00-10:30 bedtime.
Best moment this week: making it through the first round of STAAR! State testing was a little more difficult this year. I'm beginning to realize that stress does effect my body.
Miss Anything? Coke/ Diet Coke. This was the first week I was really craving Diet Coke. I don't miss the caffeine, but I do miss the bubbles. =)
Movement: I think I found the first movement this week! Funny story...we were out to dinner with my parents, Michael, Heather and the kids. I was standing up, rocking Westin back and forth. All of a sudden I felt a weird movement. W may have a jealousy baby on our hands.
Food cravings: before I was pregnant, I loved sweets! Now, I really don't want sweets very much. I have been eating a lot of popcorn, which I weird for me.
Have you started to show yet? Yes and I love it! I'm in that good stage right now where I look pregnant but not huge yet.
Gender prediction: We both think boy but will find out for sure on April 15th
Wedding rings: still on, no problems.
Mood: I have been tense and anxious, mostly due to STAAR testing. Hoping this will pass next week.
Looking forward to: I can't wait to really start feeling some movement.

14 Week Update...Coming to you from Disney World!
March 14, 2013
How far along? 14 weeks, I am amazed at how quickly the weeks are going by!
Total weight gain/loss: We are at Disney, so I haven't weighed this week. My guess is that my zero gain may go out the window. W have been eating good this week!
Sleep: Sleeping has been wonderful! I love going to bed each night. =) I have been missing my king size pillows this week while we have been at Disney.
Best moment this week: we celebrated our 5 year anniversary on March 8th at Disney! It was such a fun day, complete with us taking a picture in front of the castle at Magic Kingdom to announce on Facebook. We went to dinner at Ohana, our favorite Disney restaurant that night. It was a great day of celebration and Disney fun!
Miss Anything? This week I am missing being able to go on some rides at Disney. I had to miss out on some of my favorites, but it is worth it. I was able to spend some quality time with the twins, Tegan and Cainan since they couldn't/didn't want to ride some of the rides.
Movement: Every now and then I feel a little something that feels like a bubble. Not sure if that could be movement or not.
Food cravings: I haven't drank much milk this week, which I am really missing! I have also ate more eggs this week than I have in the past year.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I did have one day this week that I felt sick. I think it was a combination of lack of sleep and dehydration. I have been trying to drink a lot of water this week, but we have walked a minimum of 5-6 miles every day at Disney. We came back to the hotel early and I slept for about 2 hours. I guzzled water like it was going out of style and felt like a new person later in the day. Lesson learned...drink lots of water!
Have you started to show yet? Yes, wow!! I woke up Friday morning with a belly I had never seen! My stomach has been hard and poking out all day, unlike before where it was normal in the morning and stuck out at night from bloating. I've been rocking the maternity pants all week and they are so comfy!
Gender prediction: We both think boy but will find out for sure on April 15th
Wedding rings: I have had some swelling this week in my hands due to not drinking enough water.
Mood: I have felt great this week! I was a little worried about being able to keep up at Disney, but I have done great! I only had 1 day that I didn't feel great, but water and a nap did the trick. If we would have come to Disney a few weeks ago I never would have made it with how tired I was feeling.
Looking forward to: Getting to enjoy my new belly. =)
I'll do a separate post on Disney World. We had an amazing time!

13 Week Update
March 7, 2013
How far along? 13 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: No gain or loss. We leave for Disney World today...I'm sure I will make up for it. =)
Sleep: Sleeping has been wonderful! I love getting to go to bed each night. =)
Best moment this week: I went on Tuesday for a genetic ultrasound. It was wonderful to get to see our baby growing and see how much it changed in just a week! The baby was measuring 5 cm last Tuesday and measuring over 7cm today! The baby was laying on its belly, jumping around and trying to suck its thumb. It is so amazing!
Miss Anything? Not really, I am so happy to be pregnant that I have been able to easily give up most stuff.
Movement: Every now and then I feel a little something that feels like a bubble. Not sure if that could be movement or not.
Food cravings: Not really any foods, but I can't get enough milk. I have been wanting things I usually don't want such as popcorn and eggs.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I think this question may go away in the next week or two. I have been so lucky to not have much sickness throughout my pregnancy.
Have you started to show yet? Things are changing, but I don't think I'm officially showing.
Gender prediction: We both think boy but will find out for sure on April 15th
Wedding rings: still on, no swelling.
Mood: I've been feeling great! People kept saying things would start to get better around the 2nd trimester and they are right.
Looking forward to: Disney World! We are heading to Orlando today with Eric's family for Spring Break. We will celebrate our 5 year anniversary while we are there and reveal our pregnancy to Facebook...it's not official until its Facebook official. =)
Here is a picture of the baby from this week...look how much it grew! You can see the spine on the top. The baby was laying on its belly today. =)

12 Week Update
February 28, 2013
How far along? 12 weeks! We are so excited and thankful to have made it to the elusive "12 week" mark
Total weight gain/loss: Sill hanging at about a 1.5-2 pound loss. I think I am becoming a little less bloated and my lack of eating is showing a little. Disney World is coming....I'm sure I will make up for it. =)
Sleep: Sleeping great most of the time! I have to go to the bathroom at 11 & 3...it's like clockwork!
Best moment this week: I went to my first appointment with my OB. The appointment went great! I had a quick ultrasound, but the pictures weren't great since it was a portable machine. We are able to see the profile, forehead and nose on one of the pictures, so that was wonderful!
Miss Anything? Not really, I am so happy to be pregnant that I have been able to easily give up most stuff.
Movement: No, still way to early.
Food cravings: Not really any foods, but I can't get enough milk. I have always been a water drinker, but it has been on a new level lately.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I have seen a huge improvement in my nausea. I'm still not always hungry for dinner, but I don't think I felt queasy at all this week.
Have you started to show yet? Things are changing, but I don't think I'm officially showing.
Gender prediction: I think it is a boy, Eric changed to team pink this week.
Wedding rings: still on, no swelling.
Mood: I've been feeling great! I'm starting to get back my energy, so that has been nice. I get worn out easier than I did 3 months ago, but I don't have the sheer exhaustion I have been facing.
Looking forward to: Disney World! We are heading to Orlando with Eric's family for Spring Break. We will celebrate our 5 year anniversary while we are there and reveal our pregnancy to Facebook...it's not official until its Facebook official. =)
Anything Else??? We get to find out the sex of the baby on April 15th! It will be here before we know it, then let the buying begin!
Here is a very grainy picture from the ultrasound:

11Week Update
February 21,2013
How far along? 11weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Lost 2 pounds, still no appetite for dinner most nights
Sleep: Sleeping great most of the time! I have to go to the bathroom at 11 & 3...it's like clockwork!
Best moment this week: This week I shared with my staff at school that I am pregnant! It feels good to have my secret out in the open and not have to worry about slipping when I talk to people. We also went to Buy Buy Baby for our first trip to look at baby stuff...I think Eric was totally overwhelmed. =)
Miss Anything? Not really, maybe being able to eat dinner.
Movement: No, still way to early.
Food cravings: Not really any foods, but I can't get enough milk. I have always been a water drinker, but it has been on a new level lately.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I can't really pinpoint any certain thing, but basically any type of dinner food. By about 5pm, I can't even think about food without feeling sick.
Have you started to show yet? Things are changing, but I don't think I'm officially showing. At night I am very bloated.
Gender prediction: I think it is a boy, Eric agrees. =)
Wedding rings: still on, no swelling.
Mood: It's been a good week! Sometimes when I get too tired, I get a little cranky.
Looking forward to: My next ultrasound on February 26th and Disney World! We are spending spring break at Disney with Eric's family.
Anything Else??? I have to brag on Eric for a minute, he has been wonderful since I have been pregnant. He has cooked dinner every night, does the dishes most nights and has picked up the slack all around. I am very thankful for this! I have had a wonderful pregnancy so far, but my energy level has definitely been low.
