15 weeks!

How far along? 15 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: Still at 6 lbs this week
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants! Bought some maternity shirts online just because my regular shirts are starting to get alittle short and keep riding up so i have to keep pulling them down

Symptoms: nothing new this week. just have to pee more and more frequently. some days i feel twinges, not really sure what it is but usually goes away if i drink more water. i seem to get irritated too more easily. but so far no blowouts... yet. 
Sleep: good and bad. some days i wake up super early even if i slept later, some days are normal, and some days i just fall asleep whenever and wherever. 
Best moment this week: at church the hubs proudly stood up when they asked for all the fathers and expectant fathers to stand! so cute! And the hubs getting me boba last friday! he hates boba so its always a treat when he gets it for me. 
Movement: maybe the twinges i'm feeling? not too sure yet, hope to feel some kicking soon!

Cravings: sweets! cookies, cupcakes, cake. so far i've been pretty okay with curbing it. just a couple cookies this weekend. :-)  oh, and cake. haha oops.

Anything making you queasy or sick: broccoli yesterday! ugh steamed broccoli <gag>.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: not having to watch what i eat! :-( 
What I am looking forward to: 16 week appt on wed! and a visible bump! right now i just look like i ate too much :-( and it looks weird cause it starts below my belly button so even i'm not really sure if its baby or just food weight

Nursery - Before

We moved into a new house last August and have yet to fully fill it. Right now we have two empty bedrooms upstairs and our other rooms look a little sparse. We're not really the decorating type so we don't know what exactly to put everywhere. One nice thing about that is that we have a fresh canvas to start planning a nursery. I currently take the bump pictures in the room that's going to be the nursery. Here's what it looks like now with some furry tour guides!

 

The closet has these built in shelves which will be great for all the little baby things. We do plan to get an additional dresser which will be used as a diaper changer/diaper and misc items holder. I think the crib will probably go along this wall under my week sign since it's the only wall space big enough.

 

The doggies getting bored starting to wrestle.  I'm thinking of putting the dresser in this corner so it won't have to be against a window.

And I'm thinking of putting the glider in this corner. We'll see though once all the furniture is here. 

The only nursery things I have picked out so far is the bedding/changing pad covers. (Although I still have to run it by the hubs). Our color scheme is going to be grey/yellow. These are the sheets and changing pad cover I got!

So I have a lot of ideas in my head about the nursery. Hopefully everything turns out the way I am envisioning!

14 weeks!

How far along? 14 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Lost a lb this week so down to 6 lb's. Didn't do it on purpose but my appetite definitely has changed this week! Hoping to stay around this weight for a couple weeks!
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants!Regular shirts still fit okay for now. But my stomach is starting to stick out more at the end of the day.

Symptoms: i think the baby has been going through some sort of growth spurt this week! i've been feeling so uncomfortable this week. i think the baby is pushing into my stomach and bladder (not sure if its too early for that?) but i used to be able to eat alot. now when i eat, half way through the meal i get full all of a sudden where even if i wanted to eat more, i couldn't. and then i feel like when i have to pee, i HAVE to pee! and sometimes not much comes out. i thought maybe it was a uti, but i got tested and i am fine. also, my uterus is starting to feel heavier. like when i stand up after sitting for awhile, i have to get up slowly or else it feels like the baby's gonna fall out. i definitely felt the most pregnant this week out of all the weeks.
Sleep:it's alright. been more back to normal where i sleep at like 10-11.
Best moment this week: officially in the 2nd trimester! and i got some baby clothes in the mail that i ordered. couldn't help it! found some really cute gender neutral stuff since we are team green. 

Movement: once in awhile i feel like i might feel something. but not sure yet!

Cravings: nothing really. i have had some coffee this week though! so good!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing this week
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: not having to pee all the time
What I am looking forward to: my 16 week appt in a week and a half. just want to get reassured everything is progressing as it should.

Here's a recap of the 1st trimester pictures!

13 weeks!

How far along? 13 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs. BLAH. <sigh> i blame my family. I'm hoping to stay around this weight till 16 weeks. i just need to learn to eat before i go hang out with my family. 
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants! got a couple shirts from gap. don't think i'll need them for a couple weeks (hopefully). got a maxi skirt from gap too! its soo soft! can't wait to wear it.

Symptoms: nothing new. my appetite has somewhat gone down since last weekend. hope it stays this way throughout the 2nd trimester!
Sleep: better this week. falling asleep at like 9 or 10 every night.
Best moment this week: kind of officially in the 2nd trimester!
Movement: nothing yet!

Cravings: nothing this week. just trying to get better at eating healthier.

Anything making you queasy or sick: broccoli and fish sauce, even though i can still eat both which is weird. 
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: coffee!! eating whatever i want and not gaining weight. it seems like its 100x easier to gain weight these days!
What I am looking forward to: 14 weeks which is officially the end of the first trimester! (depending on how u count it)

12 weeks!

How far along? 12 weeks 3 days 
Total weight gain/loss: 6 lbs! the good news is that i only gained 2 lbs in the last 4 weeks. so if i can keep that up until 30 weeks then i'll reach my goal of 25 lbs at the end! bad news is memorial day weekend totally threw that all off!! :-(
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants! regular shirts still. bought some shirts since gap was having a good sale. and bought some maxi dresses/skirts over the weekend!
Stretch marks? none yet

Symptoms: belly looks/feels big but no real bump yet. just fat. and feel like eating everything!
Sleep:still sleepy but able to stay up later than last week. but at the same time having trouble sleeping if i wake up in the middle of the night. one day i woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep till 6!
Best moment this week: we announced our pregnancy on facebook this past weekend! it happened to be the hubs birthday so we thought we'd make an announcement with that theme. 

I posted this picture and said "Happy Birthday Albert! Your gift arrives in December!"

Also went to our NT scan today! The baby is looking good! it was so cool seeing the baby actually look like a baby, and see the baby move! the u/s tech said the baby was nodding its head alot. and we saw the baby waving its arms around too. We also might've gotten a picture of the baby sucking its thumb (not sure if its too early for that)! the baby is measuring 1 day older than my LMP due date which means 2 days older than the actual due date that i know from charting. Which means all the food i'm eating is making the baby bigger! haha oh well. Our risks for Downs and trisomy 18 is also very very low which was good. 
Movement: nothing yet!

Cravings: niu ro mein! (taiwanese beef noodle soup)!! my brother was nice and got me some on his way home for the weekend!! so good!

Anything making you queasy or sick: steamed broccoli and the thought of fish sauce! also i seem to be more sensitive to feeling sick when i don't eat regularly.  
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: coffee!! i kind of had a moment when i missed alcohol this weekend. didn't drink much before pregnancy but i missed just being able to have a sip here or there!
What I am looking forward to: next appt is the 16 week appt. but we have already scheduled our anatomy scan for july 9th! that scan will be exciting! also will probably start looking more seriously about baby stuff!

Last but not least, some u/s pics!

How far along? 10 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: 4-5 lbs it seems to have stabilized the last couple weeks. 
Maternity clothes? yes! i started wearing maternity pants almost exclusively. they're so much more comfortable. i'm even considering wearing them after pregnancy, cause u never have to worry about your fly being open, and u can eat all u want at a buffet without feeling bad! :-)
Stretch marks? none yet

Symptoms: Sore bb's still, which are the only real indication to me i'm still preggo. i've been feeling waves of nausea in the morning tho if i take my prenatals without enough food. once i down some food i'm good. i'm also alittle more tired, sleeping at 8 or 9 some nights. and i want to eat everything with carbs and sugar. my husband says i was like this before i got preggo tho. :-/
Sleep:  pretty good for the most part. still have to pee 1-2x a night. i can fall back asleep for the most part.
Best moment this week: finally telling my sister and bil and mom we're pregnant! they are def the last to know of our family and our close friends but we wanted to wait to tell them in person. me, my husband, and my brother came up with a plan to tell them at our mothers day lunch. we passed around a camera that had my bump pictures and ultrasound picture. we told them we took a funny picture this past week and wanted them to see it individually and not to say anything out loud of what their seeing. so we let my bil see it first, he definitely did a double take and just said "huh...". the real reaction we were waiting for was my sister. once she got the camera, she was like "WHAT?!?!" and thought we were trollin her. she had been quizzing me about when we would start trying right before too since she knew it was soon. 
Movement: nothing yet!

Cravings: ice cream, hamburgers, spam musubi, cookies, anything and everything bad for you.

Anything making you queasy or sick: broccoli still makes me gag.
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie
