13 WEEKS | BUMPDATE {02.18.2016}
How far along: 13 weeks.
Size of baby: Plum.
Must have items:
- Lotion! My hands have been so incredibly dry these last few weeks, specifically my legs and hands.
- Baths! Every night, before bed, I have to soak in a nice warm bath because if it's not my back killing me, then its my horrible headache and I definitely don't want to take medication every time I have a headache..
Sleep:
I love sleep. I can't get enough of it. I've heard, now that I'm in my second trimester, that it will ease up and I'll get some energy back, and I hope that's true but thankful for the sleep I was able to get during the first trimester.
Cravings:
Salty foods still. I love sushi, crawfish, popcorn, and pretzels. But I also LOVE veggies with ranch. Oh and water is a must!

Baby movement:
I haven't felt it yet, but at our appointment, I was able to see baby wiggling and waving it's little hands. It was seriously the cutest thing. I was even able to get a glimpse of the baby's sweet little nose.

Gender:
Baby was so stubborn yesterday and we weren't able to get a gender reading, but we are hoping that by the next appointment baby will cooperate and we will get to see what baby R will be.

Challenges this week:
Cooking. I hate cooking, it actually grosses me out. I'd rather eat out every night or just eat popcorn than cook food. Hopefully that will get better this trimester.

Best moment this week: We had several best moments this week! First, seeing our sweet miracle baby! Although I didn't get to see very much, I was just very thankful to be able to see that baby is growing and moving and grooving. We bought baby's first two onesies, they are gender neutral, but they are cute! Also, seeing the difference between 10 and 13 weeks! The best moment at my doctor's appointment was finding out that the NT scan was perfect, mama has not gained any weight, my blood pressure is 120/80, and my doctor referred to my pregnancy as "perfect." I feel very blessed and it's just another sign that God's timing is always good, always right, and always perfect!

12 WEEKS | BUMPDATE {02.11.2016}
How far along: 12 weeks.
Size of baby: Plum.
Must have items:
- Water! Maybe it's the fact that I love salty foods, but I can't seem to drink enough water. It feels like there is never enough time to drink all the water that I need.
- Lotion! My skin, mostly hands and legs, have been so incredibly dry. The difficult thing is, I have to make sure not to use too much scented lotion as it tends to burn the dry skin.
Sleep:
Most nights, I am ready for bed around 8:30-9pm, I'm very tired during the day and mornings are extremely hard for me. Though I've noticed that I do get little bits of energy here and there, but it's not very often.
Cravings:
Skinny Girl popcorn is the bomb! I could eat that for days. Anytime I start to feel nauseated or hungry, I grab a bag, or two, and it settles my stomach. Crawfish are another love of mine. Though I've always been a lover of crawfish, I am from NOLA, but the love is even deeper now. Every chance I get, I want crawfish! Cooked sushi rolls sound delicious all the time, but I only want fresh cooked sushi rolls, not the kind you get from H-E-B sitting in the cold fridge.

Baby's movement:
I haven't felt any movement from baby yet, though I've heard that it will probably be a while before I feel anything. I definitely look forward to it, I especially look forward to seeing E get to feel the baby kick.

Gender:
I always thought I'd have "mother's instinct," and know right away what I'm having, but every single time I think I know, something changes my mind. I'm just going to be patient because, *fingers crossed*, if baby cooperates, we may be able to find out the gender at our next ultrasound!

Challenges this week:
Exhaustion. I feel so tired during the day, but at night, I can't seem to fall into a deep sleep to get a good night's sleep. I'm also having a hard time remembering things. I forget stuff constantly and feel like I can't ever find time to do the things I need to do. Work tends to take all of my energy, so by the time I get home, I just want to sit and rest, or go straight to sleep.
Best moment this week:
Making it to 12 weeks! What a blessing! Also, we moved into our new apartment and started setting up the nursery, so far, it looks great! I'm looking forward to decorating and getting it all set up and ready for when baby gets here.

11 WEEKS | BUMPDATE {02.05.2016}
How far along: 11 weeks.
Size of baby: Lime.
Must have items:
- A/C! Sometimes I am freezing cold, but recently, during the night I am ridiculously hot. I've heard from several preggo friends that your internal thermometer is thrown off and it's so true!
- Warmth! I'm cold all the time, which is so unusual because when I was taking Clomid, and even after I stopped, I was hot all the time. Although I haven't taken Clomid since September of 2015, I would still feel hot until I got pregnant, and now I'm freezing.
Sleep:
Right now, sleep is so crucial for me. I feel so exhausted all the time, especially when I am working and no matter how much I get, I still want more. Though , I'll admit that the other night I was so deep in sleep that I didn't even know E came home!

Cravings:
I'm still craving salty things. At the moment, crawfish and shaggy dog rolls sound amazing all the time. Thankfully, last weekend, E and I went out for a date night and I got a shaggy dog roll and I swear I ate it so slow because I was really enjoying every bite. I probably could have eaten two more of those rolls. Now I just need to get my crawfish fix.

I haven't felt any movement yet, but from what I've read, the baby is jumping, and stretching, and moving around. I'm looking forward to my next appointment because I just know that baby will be dancing around for us.

GenderAlthough I'm not partial to either boy or girl, I just want healthy, I have this feeling that baby is a boy. Not sure why, but every time I think about baby, or day dream about baby, it's a boy. Not to mention, I did the "Old Wives Tales" and pretty much every single one pointed to boy. It doesn't matter, I will be thrilled either way. The goal is not the gender, the goal is getting a full-term, healthy baby in my arms.
Challenges this week:
Not getting enough sleep, finding a comfortable position to sleep in, nausea that comes and goes, and not having the energy to do the things that I am supposed to be doing, such as packing for our upcoming move next weekend, we have not packed a single thing.

Best moment this week:
Knowing that I one week closer to making through the first trimester. I cannot even explain how excited we are to be pregnant with a healthy baby. It's just absolutely a dream come true!

HOSPITAL TOUR + LATE BUMPDATE {01.25.2016}
First, my extremely late bumpdate photo. Part of the reason that it is so late is that I have been so exhausted these last few weeks and every time I thought about taking the photo, I was already dressed down to PJs. So, I had to have E take the photo for me while we were on our way out of the house on Sunday morning.
I swear my belly grew over night. Sometime last week, I was getting ready for work and noticed that I couldn't button my pants. I was thinking that maybe I had gained some weight, but then I looked in the mirror and noticed my belly was looking much bigger than I expected. I will be 10 weeks on Thursday, January 28, so I wasn't expecting the bump to make an appearance until around week 12 or later, but I guess this belly wanted to grow. I'm going to try really hard to take the 10 week photo on time this week.
Alright, so Sunday was a fun and busy day for us. We celebrated our goddaughter's first birthday, then headed to the hospital for our very first hospital tour. We were so excited and throughout the tour we both learned valuable information. I'm really glad we went early because I want to start getting payments setup and completed before delivery date. During the tour, they showed us the regular labor and delivery rooms, the post-partum rooms, and even a post-partum suite. Of course, I fell in love with the suite, until she told me it was an additional $300 a night. I would probably pay for it if I knew I was going to be there for a while, but the fact that we will only be in the post-partum rooms for two nights means there's no reason to spend $600 on the hospital when I can spend $600 spoiling my newborn.
One thing that I absolutely love about our hospital, is that they enforce a strict "golden hour" after birth. The "golden hour" is an entire hour that mom, dad, and baby get alone after the baby has been born. This is the time that we can do skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and just enjoy our newborn without distractions from others. The nurses even said that they specifically tell friends and family they are not allowed into the room until the hour is complete. Another thing I like is that there is a three person max during labor and delivery. Which means, only E, and two guests are allowed in the room during labor and delivery. This is a strict rule that the hospital enforces to ensure that if there is an emergency, they can remove the guests quickly and without too much disruption.
All in all, the hospital meets a lot of our needs and are very accommodating to the things that we want and prefer for our delivery. Though every mom and dad have different desires, we have already outlined what we are looking for in our delivery experience, and the hospital met all of those desires. If you are interested, the hospital is The Women's Hospital of Texas. My OB is an affiliate with the hospital so I'm very happy that they were able to meet our needs. Ironically, my doctor is the same doctor that deliver Erik at The Women's Hospital of Texas just twenty-four years ago.

9 WEEKS | BUMPDATE {01.23.2016}
How far along: 9 weeks.
Size of baby: Green Olive.
Must have items:
- Body pillow. Oh how I adore my body pillow, sleeping without it makes me so miserable during the night.
- Jacket/Blanket. I am
coldfreezing all the time now, they weren't joking when they said your internal thermometer gets messed up when you're pregnant because mine has!
Sleep:
Sleep is great! It has become increasingly harder for me to get up and go to work. I sleep in later than I used to. My original wake up time was 5:30am but now, I have to get that thirty minutes of additional sleep which means come 6:00am, I am up running around like a mad woman. Then upon arriving home, I only want to watch one or two of my TV shows and head to bed afterwards.
Cravings:
I haven't really noticed anything in particular. Though I hate chicken. Well to be honest, I hate the idea of chicken. The past few nights, I have tried to avoid cooking at all costs because I just turn my nose up to chicken. I love, love, LOVE, fruit! I found these oh so delicious fresh fruit popsicles and I adore them. I can eat those for dinner and be filled up no problem. Other fruits like oranges, strawberries, cantaloupe, and grapes are always on my menu.

Baby's movement:
I haven't felt the baby move yet, still too small. But, I have felt plenty of "uterine stretching." It started beginning to mid-week at 8weeks and has continued. It feels like a mild period starting but without bleeding or increased pain. It literally feels like someone is taking my uterus and just pulling it. Though it is completely normal, when it started, I was freaking out! Feeling something so similar to a period was very nerve-racking, but after reading my "What to Expect When Expecting" (a.k,a. my pregnancy bible - literally), I have come to realize that it is just expected and totally good as long as I do not see any bleeding. So far so good!

Gender:
I have no idea yet. I'm so ready to find out. We are still trying to decided whether we want to do the blood test or just wait until the anatomy scan. Turns out, you can get the blood test at 12 weeks, not 10. And it takes anywhere from ten days to two weeks to get the results back. Though it sounds great, the thing that I'm most worried about is the cost. I'm just not sure if it's necessary for me to fork out $350 when I could just be patient and wait until 16 or 20 weeks and get the scan done for free. I guess I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do.

Challenges this week:
Going to work. I was out all last week due to the nasty bronchitis I was fighting. Though the bronchitis is gone, a cold has stuck around, but I felt well enough to return to work. The hard part, getting up in the morning. I am so tired all the time! Mornings are tough, afternoons around 1:30-2pm I am exhausted, and then after work at home around 7:30-8pm I am out like a light. I heard that this gets better second trimester, and I really hope that's true because work is so much harder. I feel like I exhaust all of my energy during the day and then by the time I get home, I don't want to do anything, making working out, cooking, really anything and everything impossible. I will say, I absolutely love it! It totally sounds like I'm complaining, but the reality is, I would take all the symptoms in the world if it means my baby is growing healthy and strong.

Best moment this week:
I know this will probably sound weird, but I love feeling nauseous. It comes and goes, but it reminds me that our sweet little baby is growing. Additionally, and possibly the greatest part of making it to 9 weeks, I have officially entered my third month of pregnancy! Which means only three weeks left before we enter the second trimester!!! I've been so overwhelmed with joy since our positive test and I just thank God every single day for our blessing.

Size of baby: Raspberry.
Must have items:
- Body pillow. Recently I have been sick with bronchitis, but I've noticed that I want to sleep with my body pillow at night because it's more comfortable that way.
Sleep:
Due to my illness, I have been sleeping very well at night. Though I get up frequently to blow my nose or cough. It's been hard to stay asleep when I'm coughing a million times.

Gender:
We've been taking bets, and at the moment everyone is divided. I'm still thinking about the gender blood test, but not sure if my doctor will go for it. As for me, I really have no preference, I'm just thankful that the baby is healthy and growing.

Challenges this week:
Being sick has caused me to not eat, which has in turn made me nauseous. I wake up with nausea and can't decided if it's from the sickness or from the fact that I'm pregnant, I'm interested to see if this nausea sticks around even after the bronchitis is gone.

Best moment this week:
I know it sounds repetitive, but just being pregnant is the best. I've never felt so beautiful and thankful before. I love being pregnant and look forward to experiencing all the pregnancy symptoms as well as watching my belly grow.

Our miracle is growing!
How far along: 7 weeks.
Size of baby: Blueberry.
Must have items:
- Water! I'm still very thirsty and I love water! Fruit is another favorite of mine.
Sleep:
I feel like all I do is sleep and eat. Sleeping comes very easily for me as I am tired all the time. I pretty much require a nap throughout the day, which makes it difficult when I am at work because I can't take naps so by 2pm I am exhausted and just ready to go home.

Cravings:
I haven't had any, but I am more picky about what I want to eat. I used to love Ramen Noodles but just the thought of them makes me want to gag. Just typing that was hard enough.

Baby movement:
I haven't felt anything yet, but I'd like to start. I know it's coming, but I just want to experience every moment of pregnancy. Waiting four years for this miracle, I want to really enjoy this whole experience.
Gender:
Not sure yet. A few friends have asked if I will be doing the blood gender test, and I've thought about it but E is undecided as he is perfectly fine with waiting until our anatomy scan. Aside from wanting to know early so I can refer to my baby by his or her name, I also want to know so I can start buying stuff. If it turns out to be affordable, we may go for it, otherwise we will just be patient and find out when the time is right.

Challenges this week:
Having the energy to do anything. Sometimes I have ample energy to get me through the day, but usually I am so exhausted and just wish I was home. During the days while I'm home, taking a nap reenergizes me, but after working all day, it is near impossible for me to find the energy to do anything.

Best moment this week:
Seeing one healthy heartbeat during our ultrasound appointment on January 6! Unfortunately, we did lose a twin, called "vanishing twin," which is where the non-viable twin is absorbed into the placenta and the surviving twin grows stronger because of the nutrients. Although, we were saddened to hear we lost one, we are over the moon that we finally have our Rainbow baby! The heartbeat was perfect at 150 beats. It is absolutely amazing what our bodies can do. From one little tiny sperm and one little tiny egg, to a sweet little embryo, then a fetus, and then a sweet baby to love. It just amazes me! No science can do this, it is all God! Every day I pray and just take a few minutes to thank Him for this amazing blessing. This miracle baby is a reminder that His time is the right time. "For He knows the plans He has for me. Plans to prosper me and not to harm me." Jeremiah 29:11.

6 WEEKS | UPDATE {12.31.2015}
How far along: 6 weeks.
Size of babies: Sweet Peas.
Must have items:
- Water! I am thirsty all the time! I probably drink about 8 to 10 water bottles a day. I swear, I drink water like it's going out of style.
Sleep:
Not sure if this counts since I adored pickles before I got pregnant, but I can't stop eating them. I was watching a show on YouTube and they started eating pickles, as part of a challenge, and I literally had to stop watching it until I could get pickles of my own.
None yet, but I can't wait until I can feel both of them. I also look forward to E being able to feel them move and kick.
Genders:
We won't know for a few weeks, but if I had to guess, I'd say one girl and one boy. Although, we could care less. Two boys, two girls, one boy/one girl, in the end, we just want them to be healthy.
Being pregnant. We are over the moon that we are expecting! It's such a blessing to be able to carry two babies and I'm so thankful to God for giving us these beautiful miracles. I have so much faith that these little ones will grow healthy and will be full-term. I look forward to every single moment of this pregnancy. After four years of trying, and to be blessed naturally with twins, it's just an absolute dream come true.
Sleeping comes naturally right now. I cannot get enough of it. Every night around 7-8pm, I get so exhausted that I have to go to bed. Just recently, I started having to sleep with my body pillow since the only position comfortable is one leg up.

Challenges this week:
Being dependent. I am such an independent person, I hate asking others to lend a helping hand, but these past few weeks have taught me that I can't do it all, otherwise I run out of breath and energy very quickly. I have to learn to rely on others to do the heavy lifting so I can focus on doing whatever to ensure that these two little miracles grow healthy and strong.

Have a very Happy New Year!
