Pregnancy Weeks 13 and 14 (Pinterest inspired)

I think every new momma-to-be has spent at least some time gazing over the pictures on pinterest looking for cute nursery ideas, newborn shots or other creative things. 

Well I am definitely no different, in fact I may be slightly obsessively the same.

So please know I found this idea for the following pictures there :)

Weeks 13 & 14:

Weight gain: Still 1 lb. 

Food aversions: Pretty much all gone

Morning sickness: Very infrequent, but still there at times.

Small appetite (I imagine from not eating much for 6 weeks)

Clothes: Mostly non maternity, although a few pants which fit perfectly before not longer button!

Itchy belly. 

Frequent headaches. 

Had to get 12 viles of blood drawn (yuck)

Waking up in the night a couple times. 

No stretch marks!

Energy is finally coming back, thank god!

Next appointment: 15 weeks 4 days.

 Note my haircut :)

My hubby sadly had to work this whole weekend, so I headed to my mothers house and spent some time with her!!

I probably gained about 5lbs with all the food I ate, which is good because I feel like I am not eating enough, but I just can't eat any more than I am!!!

Pregnancy Weeks 7 to 11.

Pregnancy is one of the most wonderful experiences in the world right!!

I'm not going to lie, I can not wait until I feel this way. 

I am not going to lie I am so excited. 

I can not believe that I have a little being growing inside of me. 

But man oh man, do I miss my appetite, my energy, my motivation blah!

Weeks 7- 9: 

Nauseated

Throwing up

Food aversions to almost everything

Can eat: Cereal and Past, some fruits. 

Weight Gain: None in fact lost 2

Peeing frequently

No energy

Low motivation

Exhausted but waking up at 3am to 5am fully energized. 

Weeks 10- 11:

Finally some relief from nausea. 

Still vomiting from time to time, but much less. 

Appetite: slightly increased. Pasta, Cereal, Bagels, Carrots are a guarantee okay.

Still tired.

Some days I feel perfectly good. 

Sleep pattern still a little better. 

Some jeans are getting too small. 

One dream that it was a boy.

11 week ultra sound

Heartbeat 176

Announced on Week 11 to the world we are pregnant. 

Momma has to go and get blood drawn next week. 

yuck. 

From Zero to 60 in two seconds flat.

So remember last post, when I was all "I have very few symptoms"

Well. 

HA, I am unsure where that went real fast. 

Currently at 

6 Weeks:

Nauseated (all day, especially while showering)

Very limited appetite 

(can handle, cereal, jello, yogurt, buffalo chicken strips, sweet potato fries, & pizza rolls)

That's about it. 

Lethargic

Exhausted all the time

Mild Breast Tenderness

Wake up a million times a night (not to pee, just can't stay asleep)

Peeing more

No weight gain. 

My couch and I have become very good friends. 

Like BFF's!!

However, highlights of this week!

Hubby & I had our first ultra sound last friday. 

I was still really early, I was estimating 6 weeks 4 days, but ended up being 6 weeks 1 day. 

Due May 23rd. 

Heard the little heart beat for a quick second of 104, which is exactly where its suppose to be for 6 weeks (between 90-110)

Next appointment is at the end of October!!

 

First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!!!

Well 9 months of pregnancy, but then a baby!!

That's right, hubby and I are PREGNANT!!!

Still quite early right now, only about 5 weeks, but we are very excited. 

I found out a week ago today, I was 3 days late for my period but spotting, so I was expecting it to be coming soon. 

When all of a sudden, a TV show spiked my interest in taking a test

(Worse thing was it would say no, right!?)

This had been the first month we actually tried and although my hopes were up, I was remaining realistic!!

So I ran walked calmly  to the bathroom, grabbed the little stick and crossed my fingers. 

About 30 seconds after the control line popped up I saw this:

  Excitedly, I called my mom freaking out. 

(Husband was at work) 

So this was all around 7:30 8pm at night. 

I tried to wait until he got home from work to surprise him. 
But I am the WORST secret keeper ever, so called him at work

& when he did he was under attack by all of these:

 I had to be sure. 

♥

I then had to go get blood drawn the next day & this is where the anxiety began. 

I was still spotting & the first blood test told me that my HCG level was only 60. Pretty low. 

This can mean 1 of 2 things. 

1. I could be super early in the pregnancy. 

or 

2. Something is wrong with the pregnancy. 

Well nervous, but staying positive, I went for a blood test in 2 days on Friday where we should see the numbers at least double.

Well what did mine do!!!??

They quadrupled!!

YAY!!

 So in about 2 weeks, I go in for my first ultrasound to make sure everything looks good. 

I am praying every night that all is well!!

But we are over the moon happy about this!!

As you can tell this weekend we picked up some neutral things:

Week 5:

Symptoms: Very few

Minor headaches

Minor bloating (wedding rings get tight)

Peeing more frequently. 

No weight gain

No nausea

More to come as we find out more!!

End of Summer without Technology!!

So I accidentally feel off the internet world for a while. 

That includes twitter, pinterest, bloggers and facebook. 

It all started out with going on vacation. 

Hubby & I headed out on a small camping vacation around early August for the weekend and had no cell phone service. 

When I got back I just wasn't all into technology. 

Then hubby and I wait to our yearly summerly trip to Maine!!

Again super little service so not much technologying. 

& here we are. 

Back. 

Missing my blog work. 

Missing my blog friends 

& supper excited!!

Here are some of our summer pictures:

Our Honeymoon In....

St. Lucia

Originally when we were planning out Honeymoon we planned on going to Antigua, 

after some careful consideration we decided to go even further south & head to the beautiful Island of St. Lucia

We were there for 7 days and 6 nights. Monday to Monday. 

We flew out of Boston, as it ended up being a couple hundred dollars cheaper flying from there!!

We left at about 5am and landed in St. Lucia at 1:30pm. 

This was my first time out of the Country excluding Canada which I really don't count because it was so close to where I went to college. 

Their airport was TINY. 

One floor, and when you first walk in you literally are in customs!

They even have a whole entire room dedicated for sandals cuntomers, since that is pretty much all who comes. 

When you get past customs there are a TON of men in red hats asking to help you with your bags. 

If you ever go, DON'T LET THEM take your bags. 

They will literally walk it 25 feet down the hallway and drop it off and expect a tip!!

hahahah!!

Fast Forward to our Resort.

St. Lucia Regency La Toc Golf & Spa

We ended up in our hotel room and I was UNHAPPY. 

Our air conditioner was super loud and hardly cooled, our shower was dirty and the curtain was half pulled down and we were right by the pool.

So I did what I do best. 

Complain and become very assertive, and thankfully got upgraded to an even better room for free overlooking the ocean!!

We did everything we could, snorkeling, kayaking, beach volleyball, paddle boarding, hobby catting, headed to the other resorts, went to EVERY restaurant, had a candle lit dinner in a gazebo over a waterfall and laid out and got some suuuun!!

 Here are some of our amazing pictures!!

(WARNING PICTURE OVERLOAD)

 

First day there, quick stop off the shuttle that drove us from the airport to the resort, they have no speed limits or really rules of the road at all.

Our room

Night view of the pool at dinner on our first night

Our breakfast view every morning, the skies were 87 and sunny everyday!

They take pictures of our throughout the trip, these were a few.

Dinner our second night.

Some restaurants had dress codes.

Bikini by day, dressed up by night!

No make up! No Judging!

My favorite picture!!

Private candlelit dinner!

Our last night at the street party!!

I had the best time of my life on my honeymoon, it was sooo perfect, weather, food, temperature. 

PERFECT

On our last day we had to leave at around 11am to head back to the airport. 

It DOWNPOURED. 

I felt like it was preparing us for coming back to NY where it was SNOWING!! hahaha

This is my last wedding related post & I am somewhat sad!!

Hope you enjoyyyyed!!
