Almost 16 weeks!!

WOW - the weeks are flying by and I have the belly to prove it. I'm hoping to get some pictures up soon. The weekend proved to be less than relaxing but it was a good time. We threw Rich aka daddy a surprise birthday party to which he swears was not really a surprise.....what a bum! Of course there was July 4th at the Harris house and then a block party on Saturday night. I should have been ready to come back to work for the rest but really I had to drag my butt out of bed on Monday morning. This weekend is our huge garage sale and Friday is a doctor's appointment. I can't wait to hear our little Jellybean's heartbeat and schedule our big ultrasound!!! I really need to write more in my journal because I haven't picked it up since the move.....I want to make sure that I get plenty written down since this is it as far as pregnancy's go. Okay so on to document a few things and then back to work.




1. I will be 16 weeks pregnant, tomorrow! I can't believe how quickly it seems to be moving but at the same time it seems to move at a snails pace. You know those times when you get up 5 times a night to pee, your tailbone hurts if you sit down and your feet swell if you stand??? Yeah, those times make it seem like an eternity but the rest of the time has been smooth sailing.

2. Swelling - ummmmm, yeah. That's pretty nasty by the end of the day. I've always been prone to it but with the heat and pregnancy.........let's just say I resemble a marshmallow at the end of the day - not pretty!

3. No real cravings other than cereal and milk. Oh and the occassional want of chinese food but really nothing crazy yet. I feel like I've done well this month with weight gain but we'll see come Friday when I go to the doctor's office. I did have my blood glucose checked at my last appointment and they said it was perfect - yay!!

4. I wish I could give a glowing gym report but in all honesty, I suck right now. I'm tired and always have so much going on. I haven't had a free weekend since we moved and the 2 Saturday mornings when I did - I slept late.......I have to get back in the groove. I miss it for the most part and I know I will feel better if I "JUST DO IT"!

5. We are moved and the Summer is in full swing - the kiddo is driving me crazy with all of his activities and the hubby's work schedule has been completely out of whack. Oh, and I seriously need a vacation!!

6. We are having visitors and will be using the nursery for a guest room until the end of September but then I get to start decorating!! I can't wait - not that I have anything picked out.......I just can't seem to find the perfect bedding and of course if you don't know what colors then it's hard to select a crib. Daddy says I'm too picky but I just want this room to be perfect!

Okay gotta run and get back to work - I'll update on the weight gain on Friday afternoon.
