First Trimester Update

I am finally taking a day to catch up on on all my pregnancy posts. It has just been so much harder this time around with the new house and all of the renovations that have come along with that.  Sorry baby girl. You may not have as many pregnancy updates as Brady, but I promise to make it up to you in headbands and tutus! 

8 Weeks

This pregnancy was quite the surprise. It was extremely overwhelming finding out we were expecting in the middle of selling one house and then buying and renovating another. Throw a 2 year old and running a business into the mix and I was beyond 'first trimester' exhausted. Now that we are settled in our family couldn't be more excited to welcome a sweet new bundle into our home! Plus I can NOT wait to wear leggings and fluffy socks all pregnancy/winter long! 

15 Weeks

During my pregnancy with Brady I remember thinking that pregnancy was a breeze, especially in the first trimester. I was never nauseous or really tired and weak feeling. When other girls would discuss how rough the first 12-14 weeks were I would think how it honestly couldn't be that bad. Well friends, the pregnancy fairy has come back to bite me in the butt and hard. The first trimester of this pregnancy was nothing short of a living hell. I lost ten pounds in six weeks from throwing up multiple times a day. That along with the pregnancy made me lethargic all day long. But don't worry! I have rallied and gained it ALL back and then some! Thank you new double oven and all the baked goods you are putting out. 

Now for a little first trimester updated! 

How Far Along? Weeks 6-14 for this post. Gotta love playing the catch up game.
Size of Baby: Baby is the size of a plum. Weighing in right at .49 oz and 2.1 in long.
Gender:  We were originally told boy at our first ultrasound. (Like who knew that they could even tell gender that early on...) Later our DNA results came in and we found out we are having a GIRL! 
Weight Gain/Loss: I started this pregnancy right around 120 and by 12 weeks I was down to 110 lbs. (Haven't seen that number since middle school!) All-day sickness is the absolute WORST.
Maternity Clothes: None unless you count the maternity leggings I have been wearing for 3 years since being pregnant with Brady. 
Nursery: Nowhere close

Movement: YES! I felt the first little flutters right around 12-13 weeks. My placenta is anterior this time and baby loves to snuggle right up against the uterine wall.  

Symptoms: Every. Single. One.
Sleep: Best ever! 
Cravings: The same cravings I had with Brady... Egg Mcmuffin and coke from McDonalds. You health nuts can all roll your eyes at me now. 

What I Miss: My energy levels. It's hard being down and out most of the time.
Best Moment This Week: Finding out baby girl's gender was the best moment in the whole trimester! 
Looking Forward To: A growing baby bump!
