Week 7

Little Bun is the size of a blueberry this week!

 How far along? 7 Weeks

Maternity clothes: I ran out of regular shorts to pack for our vacation, so I threw my maternity shorts in there too. Thankfully, they are loose at this point! 
Sleep: We are currently sleeping with Max in between us in the morning, in an effort to get even an extra hour's sleep. Can these teeth please hurry up? Afternoon naps are a necessary part of my life- growing a little bun takes lots of energy!

Best moments this week: This week we went to Atlanta for a family vacation. We stayed with Gabe's Aunt Sarah and Uncle David in a cozy little cottage room, then headed to the city for five days. We set up base at a snazzy downtown hotel and checked out all the local tourist attractions like the Georgia Aquarium, the Atlanta Zoo, and the Fernbank Natural History Museum. We also went to the Dekalb Farmer's Market, and a plethora of tasty restaurants. Some foodie highlights from our tour of Atlanta included the Flying Biscuit Cafe, Agave Restaurant, Julianna's Crepes, and Fellini's Pizza. The aquarium was our absolute favorite part of the trip; Max loved seeing all the fish and exploring each environment. We even got to crawl through the penguin exhibit! After only a few days we were pricing apartments around town, so I think it's fair to say we enjoyed the city! 

We also got to see my brother and his family this weekend, which was so nice. They live in Texas, so it was the first time they got to meet Max. We also got to tell them about little bun in person, which was a big surprise! 

Miss Anything? Real cheese- I sped walked through the cheese market section of the farmer's market (this section was easily the size of the produce section at Publix) to avoid temptation, and listeria :-( It's worth it to have a healthy little bun though! 

Movement: None yet
Food aversions: Sweets, coconut
Food cravings: Still hot and savory- Mexican, Thai, the spicier the better!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Sweets, coffee is still perfectly fine though- I may have gotten addicted to daily iced decaf caramel macchiatos due to the Starbucks in our hotel!
Gender: Shabby chic or moon and stars??
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Same from last week- fatigue, ocassional nausea, hunger, breast tenderness, thirst
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On :-)
Happy or Moody most of the time: Ecstatic
Looking forward to:  Our first ultrasound!

Week 6

6 Weeks Along!

Little Bun is the size of a pomegranate seed.

How far along? 6 Weeks
Maternity clothes: Nope- I'm still fitting my regular clothes...we'll see how long that lasts!
Sleep: Sleep is difficult to get when you have a teething baby already, but Gabe and I are switching off so we both get some rest.

Best moments this week: The baby's heartbeat is detectable now! Otherwise, the best part of this week was relaxing at home and enjoying the last few weeks of summer vacation.

Miss Anything? Running. I was just getting back into it in April when I had to finish up everything for my Master's Degree, so it's safe to say I fell out of the habit. I'm afraid to start up again now that I'm preggo. One day I will run again! 

Movement: Too early still
Food aversions: Sweets
Food cravings: Mexican, Thai, anything spicy!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Anything sweet- please keep it away!
Gender: Are you a little man or a little lady?

Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On - hopefully they will stay on this time!
