13 weeks

Sorry this is a day late and sorry about the light. I had to use the flash for this picture.

My baby is the size of a peach! Getting bigger.

Symptoms:
Tired: Not as tired I am starting to get my energy back but at the same time some days I wake up and feel like I haven't slept all day.
Not hungry
Emotional


Morning sickness:
None

Cravings:
Boba tea and pickles

Thoughts:
None really today but i am so glad that on Sunday i am out of the 1st trimester. Since they heard the heartbeat on the Doppler then the risk of miscarriage went way down! Praise the Lord! Brandon has been getting more teeth and has been clingy. It is nice but at the same time it is hard to get stuff done. I love my little boy and his red red hair!

My little musician!

Dr appointment

Had a Dr. appointment today. I was excited to go but I went by myself and Brandon. Brandon really had a hard time as you can tell in the video with the nurse and doctor touching me. The nurse wasn't able to find the heartbeat and so the doctor came in and found it right away but it scared me. So glad that they found the heartbeat.

Stats:
Blood pressure: 110/70
Weight: lost weight but still up from when i started: +1 lbs
Heartbeat: 166 bpm


My next appointment I have to wait 5 weeks cause I work on the day that it would be 4 weeks and it is thanksgiving week so I have to wait an extra week. That is ok cause then time will pass faster and I will be farther along next time I see her. Next appointment I will ask her about the sex ultrasound. Hopefully she will let me get it at 18 weeks and not have to wait till 20 weeks or my next appointment which would be at the end of December.

15 month stats

Brandon had his 15 months appointment 2 weeks early but that is when they could get us in.

Weight: 24.4 (50th percentile)
Height: 31.5 (60th percentile)
Head: 18 (10th percentile)

He is getting 2 more teeth on the right side.
Dr says that everything looks good.

Brandon got 4 shots today
MMR, DTP, Varicella, and flu. I decided to get the flu on Brandon because I don't want him to get it and give it to me since I have decided not to get the flu shot this year. I prayed over Brandon and knew that it was the right thing to do. The Lord will protect my little boy!

12 weeks

I can't take a picture today cause my camera is broken but I should get a new one soon so I'll talk it when it comes in.

Baby is the size of a plum!

Symptoms:
Tired: I feel so drained after I do one activity. Its hard for me to clean and run errands in the same day.
Not hungry: So I don't eat but then I feel really sick. Hard to force the calories when nothing sounds appetizing.

Morning sickness:
None but I do get sick if I don't eat but i don't consider that morning sickness.

Cravings:
Boba tea! yummy still haven't had one but man do I want one.
Salty
Some sweet

Movement:
I can feel the baby kick sometimes. I missed it and it is such a wonderful feeling! Just as I write this I felt my baby kick me! Can't wait till Ben can feel it!

Thoughts:
I can't wait till the second trimester... i want energy back. I want to be able to take care of a toddler and clean in the same day. Ben has been gone a lot on hunting trips which have been hard on me cause he is such a big help when he is here. He is so understanding and encouraging. I am so blessed!

Football sunday

Pumpkin patch

Brandon actually climbed out of his stroller to see Haylee!














Brandon had so much fun at the pumpkin patch. We got pumpkins, played in the dirt and corn, walking around, petting animals, and playing with friends and his girlfriend. My friend's little girl and Brandon have so much fun together. I have never seen him get so excited to see anyone else as he does Haylee. So cute and Maleri and I laughed so much watching them.

11 weeks

Symptoms:
Still tired: I have been pushing my body this week and my body hasn't been too happy with me.
Not hungry: My hunger goes up and down but this week I haven't been hungry during the day. I also haven't been drinking as much as I should, it is hard to force the food and liquids down.


Morning Sickness:
None. YaY!

Cravings:
Pickles and anything salty. This week one day I craved Texas chili so I made that this week. Yesterday nothing tasted good to me. I can't eat very many sweets. They just don't taste good to me. I guess that is a good thing.

Thoughts:
I have been too busy this week to even think about the pregnancy. I worked at Sunset Mesa this week as a sub. I missed it and had fun doing it but it wore me out and I was exhausted. I also made apple butter with my mom this week. It was fun seeing my mom and making something so yummy!

Balloon fiesta

We went to the balloon fiesta twice this year. Brandon loved the balloons and everyone thought it was amazing that he loved them. They said that most babies that they see freak out. It was so good to see Brandon get so excited!

10 weeks

14 weeks #1


10 weeks # 2. I am almost as big as I was at 14 weeks with Brandon. Insane!

Symptoms:
Tired: drained easily
Allergies: I got them really bad with Brandon as well. Sneezing, plugged nose, blinking( eyes are dry)
Emotionally drained

Morning sickness:
A couple days I have gotten sick at night but It is cause I didn't eat soon enough.

Craving:
Tomatoes (I can't get enough) and yesterday was nacho cheese.

Thoughts:
It is definitely hard to have a toddler and be pregnant. Brandon has been very clingy to me and refuses to go to Ben at times. Ben helps me with Brandon so much. It is difficult to constantly clean toys up and sweep. He can make my clean house messy in a matter of seconds. Ben has been awesome and helped me so much. I seriously couldn't do it without him. He has been wonderful! Only 3 weeks and # days till my second trimester.

Pray that I will completely trust God with everything.

14 Months

Happy Boy!

He loves the beanbag.

Football Sunday!



I'm sorry I missed Brandon's 13 month update.

Update:
He is walking really well. He gets up by himself and has fun exploring new places. He is starting to really play with his cousins and friends. He has a shape ball that he brings to both Ben and I to help him put all the shapes in the ball. He is starting to talk a lot more. Examples are "mwlk" (milk) "UP," "BAWOON" (balloon), "ight" (light), "that," and "ot" (hot). He says "mama," "daddy" and "GUck" (his own word that he says with a whole lot of passion). He speaks in full sentences but we have no idea what he is saying. He has learned how to sign; More, please, all done, and thank you. He knows the difference between each one cause he signs each one at the correct times. He understands so much. I can ask him to put things back or bring them to me and he obeys. He has started to run when we call him to come back and we are working on that. He is becoming more and more independent everyday. I am loving watching him grow and learn so quickly.

Brandon is in size 4 diapers, size 5 shoes, and size 12-18 month clothes. He learned how to take off his diaper so I have walked in many times to a completely naked baby. No poop yet. I have had to make sure he has pants on.

My baby is getting really big!
