Oh, my, my, Delilah.

I was working late on Wednesday, and my mom was watching the kids. I got a phone call that essentially said "Delilah is fine, but she lost a tooth..."

Of course she did. My rambunctious little crazy girl was running down the hall with her brother, slipped, and fell right on her face. The dentist said it's healing fine, she's just going to have a gappy grin for a few years. We will be watching her other incisor, because it's a wee bit loose, but she'll be fine. And hey, the tooth fairy is coming early! Maybe even for both kids in one night, since James has one that is about to fall out (and the dentist said he needed to work on getting it out...).

19 Weeks!

How Far along: 19 weeks!

Baby size: Mango! (about 8.5 oz/ 6 inches CRL)

Total weight gain: 3-4ish pounds

Maternity clothes: Got some new stuff at a sweet consignment sale this weekend. :-) 3 shirts and a pair of khakis for work for $5!

Sleep: Mmmm, sleep.

Best Moment this week: We had a good time visiting Chris's brother and sister-in-law this weekend. And Delilah and I found 4 eggs in their chicken coop which she thought was awesome.

Movement: Yep! This child seems to be a fan of curling into a ball and hanging out as low as possible for naps.

Gender:  Likely a boy (but we find out next Wednesday!!!)

Labor signs: N/A, but a few BH contractions here and there.

Baby size: Sweet potato (about 8-10 inches and 6 ounces)

Total weight gain: +2

Maternity clothes: Pants, 2 shirts, still need to buy some new stuff. Though the cooler weather this week allowed me to test some of my long sleeved shirts, and many of them are long enough to last a while. Maybe not til December but a while yet.

Sleep: Love sleep. Don't love Dee waking me up when she has nightmares.

Best Moment this week: More baby wiggles! And we had fun camping this weekend, in spite of the weather. I took the kids "swimming" in the lake. Which was revolting but they had lots of fun.

Gender:  Likely a boy.

Labor signs: N/A

Belly button: In.

Cravings: Peaches, cutlets (which must be venison, and preferably served with mashed potatoes and gravy and creamed corn, but really only the creamed corn is essential right now)

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What is different this time around: Pretty much everything.I'm even less itchy than before! But still a little itchier than normal.

What I miss: nothing at the moment

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What is different this time around: Pretty much everything.

What I am looking forward to this week: More packing, cleaning, finishing the laminate floors (which we haven't gotten to yet). Also the realtor and the stager are coming by on Tuesday to tell us colors of tile, etc. And we're getting our new appliances on Tuesday. Boy do we know how to live it up :-).
Camping this weekend should be fun, though.

16 Weeks!

How Far along: 16 weeks!

Baby size: Avocado (seriously? Why must they compare my child to delicious food? And would a peach-avocado salad be weird? Because it sounds amazing.)

Total weight gain: about +1

Maternity clothes: Pants, 2 shirts, and I'm noticing that a number of my shirts are getting a bit short. Maybe time to start packing stuff that doesn't fit...and buying some new stuff.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What is different this time around: EVERYTHING. Well. Mostly. Feeling like a normal human being is AMAZING.

What I am looking forward to this week: Going out for our 10th anniversary for dinner and to see a live Welcome to Nightvale. Woot!
 Also, book club tonight! Yay! And less exciting, packing, cleaning, finishing the laminate floors...

14 Weeks - where is the time going?!

How Far along: 14 weeks!

Baby size: Lemon

Total weight gain: 0

Maternity clothes: Pants.

Sleep: I love sleep, and I am eagerly awaiting the energy that supposedly should be showing up soon... But I still love sleep. And I've been sleeping like a friggin rock, so my shoulders have been all painful when I wake up at night.

Best Moment this week: Passing the 1 hour glucose test (without throwing up). BOOYA.

Movement: Occasionally, still light but definitely there. 

Gender:  Still thinking boy, but I did have a dream that I gave birth and it was a girl, so really I don't know.

Labor signs: N/A

Belly button: In.

Cravings: Peaches, good milk chocolate, breakfast bagel sandwich (which was a disappointment, and I should have just gone to Starbucks for their non-bagel one)


Aversions: The smell of other people's food. Coffee/the smell of coffee.

What I miss: Coffee. Having energy.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

What is different this time around: Overall feeling better than the previous 2 pregnancies, morning sickness is pretty much history (rare moments of bleh, and I have to eat ASAP when I get up in the morning). 

What I am looking forward to this week: We're installing laminate floors this weekend, and maybe going appliance shopping (new hot water heater, new fridge, new dishwasher). Whee!! But the bottom line is that we're getting the house ready to sell in a couple months so any progress is great. Plus the laminate is beautiful, and our 20 year old builder grade carpet is NOT.
