I am a bad blogger...

Yes, I do confess...I am a horrible blogger. Most of the time I am just busy! I am so sorry. I will try harder! :) But I am happy to announce that today marks our 15th week! YAY! Baby is now the size of a naval orange. Which is way better and bigger then a PEACH at week 13...which I am STILL craving. And umm, who would have known...it's not in season! Grrr. So I have been trying my hardest to satisfy the craving. I got a peach smoothie a few times. But nope.. didn't work!


So let's get on with how the pregnancy is going...It's going great! I am off ALL meds, yesterday was my LAST blood work. I feel like a new woman! Like this is now a REAL pregnancy. Not to mention I have no more sickness. And wouldn't you know it...I am actually starting to "look" pregnant. :)

Christmas was great! I got my package from O&J maybe a week before Christmas...Didn't open until day of. It was a ladybug pillow pet! We all had lady bug pendants at the transfer :) They bring me luck! :) So that was very thoughtful. Then my children and I received cards from them! WONDERFUL and sweet...and thoughtful. THEN, Christmas Eve I was laying down to put my little one down for a nap. I decided it was time for a mommy nap too! :) And I hear banging on the door. I'm like "Really, right now?!" and I was a little irritated...until I answered the door to this beautiful arrangement and the man asked if I was Amanda. I said YES! My mood totally changed from being annoyed to so surprised and happy :) Then a little bit hungry after I see my favorite! CANTALOUPE! The rest was delicious...but let me tell you, my kids and I attack cantaloupe. So it was wonderful! :)

And yes...I AM getting better at pictures! I am actually almost professional with downloading now. Yup...ME!

Well anyway, we have our next appointment on Jan 10th and that is our gender determination! :) So...any guesses? For me...It could really go either way. I am not sure, there have been signs of it being both. According to old wives tales of course! :) Until next time... <3

Hot Cheetos and Nacho Sauce.

So, cravings lately...totally craving spicy food! Last night I made my brother go with me to get hot wings! mmmm...I only got them "mild" because I knew I would have crazy heart burn! And I did! I was up last night with crazy heart burn! :) But well worth it, craving satisfied! Not much has gone on lately...

We had an NT scan a few days ago. It was great, the baby was moving. Kicking and waiving it's little arms. It was amazing to see. We have another ultrasound, which should be the gender determination on Jan 10th. I am excited for that one too! I am having mixed thoughts on what it is... I think girl sometimes, but then get feelings it's a boy sometimes too! I just can't wait until O comes out again. I always like hanging out with him. I just wish that J could come too! But he has to work, so totally understandable! :)

I am 12 weeks and 3 days today and have been getting a lot of my energy back. I haven't been feeling AS sick, but it still comes and goes and I have to watch what I do sometimes. I have a little belly, now that the bloating has gone down. When I lean against things I can almost feel like a little ball inside. I ordered a few maternity items from Old Navy, which don't quite fit yet...but it's nice to put on some jeans that don't squish me. I can't wait to get bigger! :)
