due date: january 14, 2016
baby's size | baby is the size of an apple | 4 inches and 2.5 ounces
gender | a little BOY! {thank you all so much for all of LOVE about my post yesterday~ regarding my thoughts on being a boy mom- my inbox and texts were full of support, personal experiences, prayers… it meant so much to me! please note: i hope i didn't come across as sad or disappointed because it's truly the opposite! i just experienced a slight fear on day two… and decided to share my heart and soul. also, sorry for all of the {happy?} tears i guess i caused <3}
feeling | overall, still much better! however, i suffered from a painful three day headache {friday afternoon- monday morning} and it wasn't fun at all. i think i like the second trimester {a lot} better. monday i shared some first trimester essentials if you are interested
maternity clothes | not quite yet! i can still button my pants and have been wearing a lot of yoga pants at home and maxis/dresses while out
{please ignore the flap of my pants sticking out! that's not the baby- haha}
sleep | it's still pretty good but i get up at least once a night for a bathroom break
cravings | none this week … except at one point on monday evening during a movie {we saw 'inside out' -- so cute!!} i was dreaming about a box of hot tamales?
movement | not yet, but i can't wait! i read that it is usually between weeks 16-22 for first time moms… when did you feel your baby for the first time?
fun facts | although i can't feel him, he's squirming a ton, he might be hiccuping in there, and he's making lots of progress with his joints and all of his limbs can move now!
how beautiful is she?! {both inside {lots} and out!}
best moment of the week | celebrating mr. monaco's birthday monday and a prenatal massage last night- it was perfect.
next appointment | august 20 for an ultrasound!
Your kimono/kaftan is really nice!
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteThis was my favorite stage of pregnancy- where you can feel them, but you're not quite yet super uncomfortable!
ReplyDelete:) i think it's going to be my favorite!
DeleteAw, I love following your pregnancy journey! I loved being pregnant and for me the sweet spot was around 20 weeks :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much!! i have heard the same thing... 18-20 weeks is where it's at! and i will be going back to school as a teacher {so that will be great timing!!}
DeleteI'm new here so congratulations!! I know I sound crazy because you don't even know me, but I am so happy for you!! What a wonderful time! You look so cute in your pictures too! I'm about to go read your post about having a boy. I don't even know what I would do if I had a boy. I know nothing about boys! Congrats again and I can't wait to read more and more of your story!
ReplyDeletethank you so much! excited to follow you, too! i really appreciate the kind words and love!

DeleteThis is such a great idea to document your pregnancy- I wish I would have done something like this! Looking forward to following along with you. Your pictures are beautiful- I love that kimono you're wearing. You should definitely keep it up with the prenatal massages!
ReplyDeletethank you so much! i would love to keep the massages up... might get another one in november/december {when things get real 'real!'} i really loved your sweet comment!
DeleteLike everyone else, I love your kimono! Reading this post is the first time I thought about how if I'm still blogging when I get pregnant in the future I can do these too! You'll never forget the different stages of your pregnancy and the milestones! I think it's a great way to document it to look back on later.
ReplyDeletethank you - so much! :) and you def. should!!! xo
DeleteHow fun! Love all the updates and all the fun photos.
ReplyDeletethank you so much, becki!!
DeleteAw, so cute! My birthday is January 12, and my mom's is the 13th, so although I'm admittedly biased, I personally think your sweet babe has a great due date ;)
ReplyDeletethat's awesome :) maybe... i am measuring for the 12th!! you are so sweet!
DeleteSuch a sweet post! Glad you're feeling better :) Can't wait to see what you pick out for the nursery!
