9 weeks

How Far Along: 9 weeks!

Size of baby: Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months.

 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: none

Maternity Clothes: trying not to wear them, but I've pulled a few things out.

Gender:well... it's too early to know for sure :)

Movement: I've felt a flutter or two but not every day or even every other day. and only once or twice.

What I miss: feeling the need to lose weight.

Sleep: some nights I sleep well, others not so much.

Symptoms: I'm still exhausted. I'm not as nauseous as I was even into last week but still having some nausea everyday.

Best Moment this week: Being able to start to feel little flutters even though I know it'll be weeks before I feel anything consistant.

What I am looking forward to: feeling the babe move and feeling like the weeks aren't dragging by so slowly!

8 weeks!

I'm hoping to do one of these posts every week until I deliver...  so here goes the first!!

How Far Along: 8 weeks!

Size of baby: By now, your baby is really using his bean - his brain is developing connections and, speaking of beans, he is now about the size of a kidney bean.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: none

Maternity Clothes: trying not to wear them, but I've pulled a few things out.

Gender:well... it's too early to know for sure :)

Movement: again, too early.

What I miss: eating normally

Sleep: I get up about 3-5 times per night.

Symptoms: Extremely tired and nausea most of the day still.

Best Moment this week: Today! Reaching 8 weeks!

What I am looking forward to: March!

a lot of news...

I have been such a terrible blogger.

 There are plenty of excuses I could throw out there but truth is, I just haven't known what to blog about recently. Not a thing has felt "right". So, I've remained silent.

July was full of craziness. We were mostly busy getting ready for VBS and there was about 2 weeks where at one point or another we were all sick. We are finally getting back to normal around here. Well as normal as things can get with all the changes going on in our lives!


I'm stoked, that as of this week I am now officially going back to children's ministry! It's been a long time coming, and I wish I could share the whole journey but I just don't need to write it all out here.

By the end of this month, I  plan to be in full swing with the homeschooling as well. I still have a lot of prep work to do, so I have to get on the move with this.

This week, Derek and I celebrated our 7th anniversary! I'm so excited about the things God has in store for us this year!

And for those of you who don't already know this (though I'm sure most of you do)  We are going to welcome a new addition in our family in MARCH :)  We are super stoked about this and know that this is a huge blessing to our family. God is working indeed.

Anyhow. I leave you of a few pics of the baby giraffe I snapped this weekend while Kyley was feeding her. :)
