I'm Poppin' = 16 weeks

How far along? 16 weeks
Weight gain? Pretty excited to see all the holiday weight I gained at my next appointment. Not really.
Baby fruit size? Onion - 5.1 inches 
Maternity clothes? Turned a pair of jeans into maternity pants. To my surprise they actually turned out pretty good and are so comfortable. Hopefully they will last me throughout the pregnancy.
Sleep? Got our new Tempurpedic king size bed and it is so delicious to sleep on. We also hooked ourselves up with some new king size pillows so now it feel like we are sleepin' on a cloud.
Movement? More fluttering... or gas. Who really knows.
Food cravings? Sriracha CRAZE is still going on and now I am really into Jamba Juice. I think its the tarty taste that I am diggin'.
Exercise: Hit up spin this week and  got to the gym a few time to use the elliptical.
Best moment this week? Celebrating the holidays with our family being pregnant. Our family is so excited for us and I love all the attention this little one is already getting. I feel so blessed!
What I'm looking forward to? Our next doctor's appt. I really want to know already what we are having. The suspense is killin' me!!! :)

15 Weeks & Growing

How far along? 15 weeks
Weight gain? 3 lbs 
Baby fruit size? Navel Orange - 4 inches 
Maternity clothes? I've been just sticking to my regular leggings and sweaters. Last night I randomly went to F21 and they had all their maternity jeans on sale so I bought me a few pairs. Whoot!
Sleep? Sleep is so much better with my ginormous body pillow. The only problem now is that it's like another person sleeping with us and Sonny is falling off our bed. Poor Sonny! We've decided to to take the plunge and get a brand new Tempurpedic king size bed! It's being delivered as I blog and I am so excited!
Symptoms? NO MORE MORNING SICKNESS... AFTERNOON SICKNESS... OR EVENING SICKESS!! We are all done with that wackness. I still have to go to the bathroom 3x at night but I'm getting used to it now.
Movement? Still feeling the fluttering. Gas or baby... still don't really know.
Food cravings? SRIRCHA MANIA!
Exercise: I caught a cold at the beginning of the week and it killed my workout routine. I did manage to fit in a few long hour walks in the evening but nothing too crazy. Hopefully next week will be better.
Best moment this week? Took my first preggo pic and it still hasn't confirmed the fact that I'm preggo. Every morning while I'm scavenging for something to wear I look at my new body and still can't believe all the changes.
What I'm looking forward to? Got an appointment scheduled for the 30th. I'll be almost 18 weeks by then so I'm hoping to find out if our little baby is a girl or boy!

Its Just Got Real!!

 Friday October 8, 2011 @ 7:00am

"Ugh. I need to pee. I'm going to get up to pee on this stick. Babe, did you hear me?"
"Yeah. Just go. I need to sleep 5 more minutes"
"Babe I'm going to take THE TEST now...."
"Oh..."

Three minutes later....

"WHAT IS THAT?! IS THAT 2 LINES?!"
"OH SHIT!"

---------------------------------------

Its so hard to believe it. Even now after 5 positive home pregnancy test and a positive test from the doctors office, its a little bit surreal. Sonny and I are pregnant!

I'm so overwhelmed with emotion. It is so hard to believe its happening and there's LIFE growing INSIDE ME. Its hard to tell if the butterfly flutters I feel are the baby or my nerves. I am sure it will all sink in soon.

I'll try my best to post my weekly baby haps on here. So far I like the idea of posting at-a-glance summaries of my week. So here goes my first one.

 Hello World! Baby Cruz due June 2012

How far along? 14 weeks
Weight gain? 3 lbs 
Baby fruit size? Lemon - 3.4 inches 
Maternity clothes? I bought a pair of maternity stretchy waistband denim a few weeks ago and have been living in those, leggings and stretchy yoga pants. I need to invest in a few more stretch items but I should be good for now. 
Sleep? For the past few nights I've been tossing and turning like a pancake trying to find the right position. I'm trying not to sleep on my back or tummy... it really is a challenge. Sonny bought me a body pillow a few weeks ago so that helps a lot. Though... it doesn't help that I wake up at least 3x to pee in the middle of the night. 
Symptoms? The wave of nauseousness I was feeling in the beginning is slowing dying down. I do tend to still get my evening wave of yuck... but usually if I don't think about it I forget about it. This week I have experience some ligament pain. Its sorta shocked me at first because its not something you'd expect to know how its gonna feel.
Movement? From time to time I feel fluttering in my uterus. I'm hoping its more baby than it is gas.
Food cravings? SARACHA! ON! EVERYTHING! Its so unlike me... really it is!
Exercise: I was spinning religiously the first 2 month of the pregnancy. But for the time being spinning is on hiatus. We are using the extra money for the baby fund. For now I've been walking all over Pasadena and using our building's gym to get my daily dose.
Best moment this week? Making our BIG announcement to ALL our friends and family. It is so crazy how technology works these days. I posted at 9:30am on Facebook Sunday morning and within 3 minutes we had over 20 thoughtful comments from our friends and family. By the end of the day we had over 100+ warm wishing! We are so happy to have made it through the 1st trimester and are ready to get the baby well on its way to a healthy delivery.
What I'm looking forward to? We have our 1st Trimester screening tomorrow and hoping all checks out a-ok!
Milestone: From our last appointment, Baby Cruz is growing big and strong with a beautiful heartbeat @ 162. Developmentally, Doc says we are looking good! :) :) :) :)
