20 Weeks/21 Weeks

So technically tomorrow I'm 21 Weeks, but I'll post today since I haven't in a while, and I also had my ultrasound today! We did not find out the sex of the baby because we really do want to be surprised! So I had to drink water to fill my bladder up and then hold it until after the ultrasound was over. To make a long story short, it was not fun...

But we got to see our baby! We got to see the heart moving and hear it at the same time, I was able to see the baby move and feel it at the same time. Today's ultrasound just made everything more real to us, and also confirmed that all the "indigestion" feelings I've been having are the baby. I've been getting better at distinguishing between them, but some days it's harder than others and it was just really cool to see it and feel it at the same time. Our baby has grown a lot! And the baby is measuring at 21 Weeks 2 Days, so only 3 days off, which is nothing and it's normal. Our baby has everything growing in the right spots and at the right rate, and good things were going on (of course I can't remember half of what the doctor told us lol)

I've been doing ok lately, just trying to ward off getting sick. The other day I was sick and throwing up, probably from the food I ate. I've been pretty lucky and not had morning sickness, just nausea. All the times I've thrown up is from eating food that I shouldn't have. :D

I need a massage so badly right now, I keep getting migraines and they are horrible. I think that it's stress and if I relax and get these knots out of my neck, then that might help!

Jaren and I also bought a Wii the other day for a Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine's Day present. It's a lot of fun and helps us unwind from a long day at school and work. We both are going to CSU full time. I'm still in music, and trying to get into performance, so we'll see how that goes. Jaren was accepted into the Construction Management program (even though he hadn't fulfilled all the requirements) so that a huge blessing for us, since now he won't have to be in school as long as we thought!

School only started a week ago and I feel like it's been forever. Luckily this semester shouldn't be too hard on me!

Well I think that's it for now. I'm just trying to de-stress and do well in school. So here are some of the ultrasound pictures and tomorrow I will put up the belly shots!!

I want noodles!!!!

So today I am 18 weeks 2 days. I was going to do this on Wednesday, but life gets busy, plus Jaren's been working and we kept forgetting to take a picture.

Anyway, all week all I've wanted to eat is the Penne Rosa from Noodles & Company. We've gone there almost every day this week, which is not very good on the pocket book, but luckily it's only my first time craving something over and over again. Other cravings, I've craved, eaten it and then gotten sick and never wanted it again. lol. But last night Jaren and I were out and I had been wanting Noodles all day. We got there 10 till 10, so enough time to get something to go. Well we went in and they told us they were closed. We said ok, left and then I spent the drive home bawling my eyes out over noodles. NOODLES! But then we went home and tried looking for the store hours, because I knew they were supposed to stay open until 10. Well we couldn't find it, so we tried calling the store we had gone to. No answer. Then we called the store we usually go to, and they were still there and told us that the other store thurs - sat was supposed to stay open until 11!!! I was so mad. But now Jaren called and they are giving us free lunch today!! So now I have that to look forward to and I'm happy!!

So here are my pictures for today:




I'm so excited, I've been feeling the baby a lot this week! I just want Jaren to feel the baby too, it's so cool and amazing. I'm thinking it'll take a bit longer for him to feel though. My next appointment is the 26th, and I will have another ultrasound!! I'm so excited to see the baby again :)

Well I'm going to be looking through baby name books to get some ideas. We already have a girls name picked out, we just need a little help with a boy name.

17 Weeks!!

So this is 3-4 days late sorry! It's been pretty crazy since I've been home. But now I'm home for at least a week straight! lol. So while I was at my brother's house in Arizona last week, I took belly pictures by myself. I guess I could have asked someone to do it, but I only thought about that after the fact :p.

Here are my 16 week pictures:





So now I am 17 weeks and I've been very tired. Lots of traveling the last few weeks and then lots to do at home has been the main source of my being so tired. Also, the lack of sleep doesn't help any. And the migraines and the back pain and and and... lol. I could go on forever, but then I'm just complaining and I start to annoy myself.

Well now Jaren and I are babysitting my dad's dog Molly for a week and the cats are pretty ok with it, which is nice. I'm ready for a nice relaxing week. But of course that probably won't happen :)

So anyway, here are my pictures from this week. I noticed that when I do the bare belly pictures, that I push my belly out. HA HA. I was laughing at myself for a long time...in fact, I still am!





Okey day, so I'll post again next week!
