Week 7

Baby H is the size of a blueberry.

How far along? 7 weeks

Maternity clothes? The weather this week has been gorgeous, so I broke out my high-waisted spring dresses. Though I have only gained two pounds, the bellyband is in full swing. Seriously, the zipper on my pants will not even meet anymore. I've definitely been surprised by how quickly my body has started changing and, shall we say, expanding...

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Thankfully, I'm still sleeping through the night. Naps are a regular part of my life now and I have a new appreciation for the bliss that is napping after work. How do people not like naps?!

Best moment this week: Date night with my fantastic husband :-) Tasty burgers at green Truck Pub, fries, and their amazing dijon hit the craving spot. It was raining out, so we cozied up at the bar and ordered up two plates of goodness. While we waited for our order, Gabe and I discussed baby announcements, which we will be making next week! I love how a simple night out together can bring us both so much joy!

Miss Anything? Painting my nails

Movement: None

Food cravings:  Burgers, spaghetti and meat sauce, savory goodness of all kinds.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Ham, also known as the yuck which half my students bring for lunch everyday.

Gender: Unknown

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Fatigue, bloating, enlarged breasts, occasional gas/hiccups/burping, nausea 

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Still happy! As my appointment approaches, I've been feeling a bit nervous too. I just want to know everything is fine with little baby H, and that he or she is totally healthy!

Looking forward to: This weekend in Jacksonville. Gabe has the Gate River Run, and I'm throwing Andrea's bridal shower. I hope everything goes as planned and that her shower turns out as pretty as the one she threw for me! Hopefully we'll get to spend the rest of the weekend relaxing with our friends and family. We also decided to do our baby announcement after my appointment next week, so I am really looking forward to sharing our wonderful news with everyone. We're just so excited about our little one that we can't keep my pregnancy a secret anymore!
