Week 6 

Baby H is the size of a Pea

6 weeks exactly

Baby H is the size of a sweet pea

Sweet Theory Donuts- Apple Pie and Blueberry Maple

Best friends and ... future best friends, all in one picture!

 

Baby H's first onesies!

How far along? 6 weeks

Maternity clothes? Leggings, still. I tried to wear my cords this week and the hairband trick failed me, or at least it was not created for pre-k teachers. Every time I bent down to tie shoes or help the kiddos with something, I could feel my zipper slipping. Overall, I spent half the day checking to make sure the zipper was closed and the other half unzipping it to pee every 30 minutes. How are there not more comedies about pregnancy? Good thing I have a stockpile of leggings and lots of cute dresses to wear over them!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: I've been having crazy dreams, but I'm sleeping through the night. This is a nice change from last week.

Best moment this week: A breakfast double date at Cool Moose Cafe with my bestie Lauren and her husband Andrew. They are also expecting, which means our little babies are bound to be future best friends! Lauren and Andrew are definitely some of the people we miss the most from Jville. It was great to get together and talk for a couple of hours. Did I mention the chicken and waffles? They might just be the best I've ever had. Eventually, we headed outside and took some pictures. How often is it that best friends are preggo at the same time? As Lauren and I took a selfie, Andrew pointed out that there are really four people in the picture. Seriously! It still seems a little surreal that we are expecting and I love every little reminder of it. Gabe and I also had a great time looking at Baby things this weekend. We even bought Baby H's first onesies!

Miss Anything? Real cheese. At one time I thought I would be eating tasty goat cheese brownies all through my pregnancy. Alas, many of my favorite cheeses, and more importantly, my favorite brownies, are off the shopping list.

Movement: None

Food cravings:  Cherry Italian Ice. Thanks to our trip to Jax, my Sweet Theory craving was finally satisfied. I'm actually glad we don't live near this bakery since the donuts were just as good as I remembered.

Anything making you queasy or sick: lunch meat

Gender: Unknown

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: This week I've been very tired. My chest is starting to change a little and I feel like I'm busting out already, but from what I've heard this is just the beginning. I've definitely started having to pee more often, which is pretty comical to all the people I work with. No morning sickness yet, just a little nausea here and there.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I fall more in love with Gabe and little Baby H each day.

Looking forward to: Spring break. Also, St. Patrick's Day, our next school holiday. Basically, I plan to sleep all day, sip hot cocoa, and marathon watch Gilmore Girls. I feel relaxed just thinking about it! Only 12 days to go...
