Bump updates!

Only a chalkboard pic this week since our remodeling has obstructed the french doors I’m feeling mostly normal this week which is nice but a little odd since I feel less pregnant. We found out that the baby is a boy today though and that made everything seem a lot more real!! Only about 25 weeks to go!

We had a 15 week ultrasound today and the baby is definitely a boy!!!

Week 14 is almost over! I’m up 6 pounds now and I had to get into the maternity jeans this weekend

I’m leaving for Scotland in one week!! And our upstairs remodeling project starts in one week!! Both very exciting!  Poor Sam has to put up with the remodeling for the first week since he won’t be coming to Scotland as early as me. Thank you, Sam

Whoo! Second trimester here we come I’m feeling way more normal this week! I’m still waking up every 2 to 3 hours so I’m sleepy but I can usually make it til 11pm without passing out on the couch now Still only up 5 pounds so there’s not too much of a bump to see.  I did have to switch to a new bikini top this week… I wonder how long those bottoms are going to last??

We can easily find the baby’s heartbeat with our little fetal doppler unit now so we’ll have to take a video of that soon too!

All of the 12 week ultrasound pictures are uploaded here!  The baby would not cooperate and turn towards us so we don’t know the gender yet. Our tech said she had a slight lean towards boy but that it was a very slight lean. So we have to wait another 4-6 weeks to find out!!!

Love,
Carrie and Sam

Almost 2nd trimester!! I’m feeling much more normal this week though I can only fit in about 4 pre-pregnancy items of clothing

Sam learned a bad trick while watching ‘How I Met Your Mother’ this week. A great way to get a pregnant lady out of the room is to ask her, ‘Hey, didn’t you need to go to the bathroom?’.  It really would be pretty effective, I have to admit!!

One more day til week 12!! I’m off the brussels sprouts but still loving eggs! Deviled, fried, however… mmmm My blood pressure is now normal without my prescription due to my blood vessels widening and hormones – thanks baby! The bump may look more pronounced than usual since we took this AFTER Easter brunch. I might have eaten 5 deviled eggs and an omelet and some ham and some miles of chocolate I didn’t gain any weight this week… well before brunch that is!

We’re posting week 10 pics from the weekend but today is the first day of week 11! Thankfully I’m not as nauseous this week but I’m still very sleepy. I took a blanket to work so I could nap on my floor I’m up to 4 pounds now… might need to slow down a little but I’m so hungry constantly!

I’ve gained three pounds now and I know that the bump isn’t the actual baby but it is the baby’s fault so I think it counts I’m definitely having trouble finding shirts that fit!

This week has definitely been the worst for nausea but hopefully that will be fading away over the coming weeks.

I’ve gained two pounds now but I hear there won’t really be a real bump until at least 12 weeks! Though I did get a pedicure on Sunday (the day of these pics) and when I walked in, the owner pointed at my tummy and asked, “You have baby?” so I definitely have a bloat bump… or maybe I just had too much pizza for lunch

We’re sticking with both locations for now at least. We’ll see what happens as the weeks progress. And yes, that 8 was added in the chalkboard picture. My baby brain wrote week 9 up there! Oops.
