Valentine's Day was fun as usual! My mom has been making a heart shaped meatloaf since I can remember. It's usually accompanied by some mac and cheese and a veggie of sorts. This year, she made two kinds of mac and cheese, from scratch. Something she doesn't usually do! She went with a Paula Deen mac with thick sliced tomatoes as well as a spicy "mexican" mac with chorizo and cherry tomatoes and something else. My personal fave was the Paula Deen mac. How can you not like ANYTHING made by Paula Deen and your mama!? I don't know what it is about chorizo since I've been pregnant but it seriously makes me want to toss my cookies. Whomp whomp.
Old Navy has also been taking a few of my dollars these days. They've been having a maternity and baby sale - and then have extra coupons! I've been pretty good about not going crazy. I got a couple of shirts/tanktops that'll last me a while as well as a second pair of jeans. One pair of maternity pants isn't workin'. For the man-cub, I splurged (ok, $10) on a fedora. What kind of silly little boy goes without a fedora!? He also got a onesie that says "I love my doggie" and one with sunglass AND a mustache. I can't wait til he's here so I can snuggle him! Next summer we'll get a lot of use out of the fedora :) I think I could go broke buying silly onesies for this kid. Maybe we'll have to have a silly onesie baby shower!
How far along: 19 weeks and 3 days...so close to that half way point, eek!
Total weight gain: +4.8
Maternity clothes: Yes. I'm coveting a pair of white maternity jeans for the summer. I got a pair of skinny white jeans from Old Navy - I am not a skinny jeans person. They're going back.
Symptoms: This makes me laugh every week. Does a baby in my belly count as symptoms of pregnancy? I think this is the last week this one will be on the list.
Stretch marks: None
Sleep: Ahhh sleep. I finally got some good sleep last night BUT the yuck leg cramps have started. Charlie horses are no fun!
Best moment of this week: After telling the fam you could feel him moving from the outside and hopefully they'll get to feel him at Valentines dinner, he didn't move all day. I started to get scared and nervous that he wasn't moving. The moment he started moving when we were back at home, after dinner, was the best moment of the week.
What's new this week: Leg cramps
Miss anything: Free time and disposable income - oh wait, I didn't have that before!
Movement: He's bee-bopping in there right now!
Food cravings: Ice cold glasses of milk. I hear there are little watermelons at the grocery store...might need a trip out in the snow today.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Chorizo lol!
Have you started to show yet: Yup! Some days, from the front, it doesn't look much different. But from the side, the belly is there.
Gender: It's a BOY!
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On but getting tight. I don't like that I'm getting a little swollen, especially in the evening.
Happy or moody most of the time: Most of the time = happy
Looking forward to: Just growing that babe and feeling the kicks
((smiles))
