borrowing this template from Kate!Due Date: November 8, 2013 (My mother-in-law’s birthday!)
Gender: Unknown at this point…we find out in less than 2 weeks!!!
Movement: Nothing yet! BUT, you better believe I’m waiting for this moment!
Feeling: Like myself!! FINALLY! This week I finally started feeling back to my normal happy self. Just ask my husband, the past couple/three weeks have been a bit interesting. I was such a emotional/moody/irritable pregnant woman! Thank goodness my hormones are under control now. My energy level is starting to feel back to normal too. I finally bought my first pair of maternity work pants yesterday and cannot wait until they get here!! Seriously, although I have no official “bump” right now, my pants are getting tight.
Food Cravings: No cravings yet. I’m learning how to eat more smaller meals throughout the day. Before I got pregnant, I ate 3 meals a day. Period! I was not a big snacker at all. I learned quick how important it is to eat often when pregnant. One time around week 10 I went to long without eating and my body basically started shutting down. Awful, awful, awful! Never want to feel like that again. So, I’ve added some healthy snacks like fruit every couple of hours and that has helped a lot!
Food Aversions: Beef, seafood (especially salmon)….it’s been hard to figure out what to eat during this pregnancy. Nothing ever really sounds good to eat. So meal planning has been impossible! However, tacos/mexican always sounds good!
Clothes: Everything the same. Looking forward when I can show off my bump!
Stretch Marks: I’ll let you know in a couple of months….hopefully none!!!
Sleep: Sleep is great. As I mentioned, I’m not as tired and can stay up until 10:30/11:00pm now (yay!). Crazy dreams every night…mostly around alcohol. LOL, my body knows what’s up and would love a beer or glass of wine right now.
Symptoms: Peeing a lot, some tailbone pain, headaches (less frequent in the last week), and dry skin.
What I Miss: Alcohol, blue cheese, and that’s about it. Seriously, once I’m not pregnant I’m going to make a whole meal out of blue cheese and alcohol haha!
Best Moment: Finally feeling like my happy self again! Bat crazy hormones, you can stay away forever!
Memorable Moments: Buying my first pair of maternity pants…Eeek! Planning our gender reveal party. Celebrating Derek’s birthday this week. Looking forward to Jen’s wedding this weekend. Wish me good luck fitting in this teeny tiny dress!
Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Let's be honest- Mexican food always sounds good, pregnant or not! Glad you're feeling better though!
Mexican food is great! And I think it is so funny that you dream about alcohol! :)
Glad you are feeling great!
Glad to hear you are feeling better. Am 25 weeks tomorrow and sometimes am just an emotional wreck. I cry over nothing and its sad coz soon after I get excited over nothing!Pregnancy is weird and fun!
I'm glad you're feeling great again and still enjoying Mexican food!! :) Can't wait to see a bump!!! :)
Ohhhhh I hope little buckeye in there waits just a few more days and comes on the 13th..that's my bday!!! lol. ps - hope it's cool I call baby, buckeye...have to distinguish baby from any others and I hate calling babies "it". Buckeye seems suiting ;P
You are adorable!!! I looove this!! :)
How did I miss this! Congratulations! Being a parent is the best thing ever!
Awww Katie-Mama!! I love how you set this up and I'm so excited for this journey! You are just glowing! Are you guys planning on doing a gender reveal party? My friends just did one with their best friends (sister in law).. they had the person who did the sonogram put the results in an envelope and they gave it to their friend. Their friend had a party and put the balloons in the color of the gender in a box and at the party my friends opened it-- big surprise. Anyway-- I'm so glad you are feeling better! xoxo
WOW! Where have I been? Congrats! You look beautiful, as always. You're gonna be a great mama. :) So happy for you.
Ahhh CONGRATS KATIE!! I didn't even realize you were expecting, I've been really terrible on reading/commenting on blogs lately but I'm so happy for you and your hubby! Can't wait to follow along with your pregnancy! Have an awesome weekend :)
So glad you're starting to feel better! I still can't believe you're pregnant! :)

It's always so nice to see such a happy and excited pregnant gal. I am voting boy already because you are glowing and apparently boy pregnancy do that to you :)
So glad you are feeling great, you look awesome :-)
Yay, feeling yourself again! That's so great. Movement and starting to bump out are in your pretty near future :) And though it's kinda hard to start giving up the regular pants (I can still fit into a few!), that maternity waistband turns out to be soooo much more comfortable.
How exciting! I don't have any kids but I absoulty love reading stuff like this haha :)
you can't eat blue cheese when you're pregnant!?!!? oh man, i may be rethinking having kids. ;) i love these updates!
Haha you made me laugh out loud with the whole when you're not pregnant you're going to make a big meal of blue cheese and alcohol. Too funny!
Happy 16 weeks! Glad that you're feeling like yourself. I feel like time is moving so quickly already!
Can't wait to know what you're having. So excited!
Still can't believe our due dates are only 4 days apart! And I'm so jealous that you look/feel like yourself. I miss myself so much! :)
You are the cutest ever. I would miss alcohol too! I can't wait to see what you do for the gender reveal!
Not sure how I missed this before, but you are looking AWESOME!
