Maternity Clothes? FINALLY!
Sleep: I have had some crazy dreams! One night I was hanging out with Howie Mandell, I was Cat Women working side by side with Batman, in some crazy police search... definitely been adventure packed! Maybe that's why I'm so tired anymore! Each night its something new and exciting.
Best moment this week: Finding out I had the 24th off. I loved doing NOTHING all day and it's a good thing I had the day off. I was really sore and super tired. I got a three hour nap in from 3:00-6:00pm and still went to bed at 10:30 PM!
Miss Anything? Being active. Every day I pass my bike and miss the motivation of going on long bike rides. Even though I feel super sluggish... it's hard wanting to actually be a slug.
Movement: Constantly! When she is moving, she doesn't stop!
Food cravings: Fruit and juice. I've had an unusal amount of grapes and apples lately. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup always sounds good too.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: One heck of a sore tail bone! Last few days it's felt like someone has kicked me in the bum multiple times. Google pregnant ladies say they experience the same thing... so it must be normal towards the end! And Road Rage... is that a symptom? Seems a lot worse now that I'm pregnant!
Gender: Little Lady
Labor Signs: Negative
Belly Button in or out? In
Weddings rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Still happy - but tired. Maybe a little moody cause I'm so BLAH about not being active.
Looking forward to: THE DENTIST!! Yes, I LOVE the dentist. I'm going on Thursday and I couldn't be more excited to get some clean teeth. Wish me luck... 26 years of no cavities and I don't want to start now!

Maternity Clothes? I'm proud to say I used a "Belly Band" for the first time. It was fantastic! I loved knowing my pants were completely unzipped but know one else knew! And I dare say - my pants officially no longer fit... without the belly band! Now when I wear jeans... rockin' the maternity style!
Sleep: Oh so peaceful! Thank goodness for a comfy tub!
Best moment this week: JC let me get my very own spinning bike! I've wanted one for so long and now I have one! We rode 10 miles Saturday morning and then found a killer deal on KSL for a stationary bike. It's practically brand new! The lady bought it in December and never used it. I've probably used it more then her in less than a week!
Miss Anything? My energy!! This week I have been so drained and tired.
Movement: Yes! This girl... I tell ya... she doesn't stop!
Food cravings: Still loving the Diet Coke with Lime. Ranch. Mexican is always sounding good too.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: Nothing unusual.
Gender: Girl! Did I tell you we switched doctors and he wanted to double check she was still a girl? She is! The new doctor is such a great guy. I'm excited we made the switch!!

Maternity Clothes? A few of my jeans will still fit with a rubber band around the button. Shirts are starting to get too snug.
Sleep: Oh sleep... I'm ready for a nap! Bed time is the best part of the day.
Best moment this week: We spent all day Saturday on an adventure! Woke up early, made yummy breakfast, jumped in the car and hit the road hand in hand. We cruised the canyon, walked around a few lakes, ate lunch on a cliff side and ended the night snuggling at the cabin. So great spending the entire day with my husband! I love him so much!
Miss Anything? Not having to pee so much! I'm glad JC is so patient...
Movement: I love how much she wiggles! I got to work one day and looked down and my tummy was going crazy from her dancing around. Oh it makes my day!
Food cravings: Diet Coke with Lime. I've had a few this week.

Maternity Clothes? Last week I fit into my Silvers... my stretchy Silvers. I refuse to wear jeans unless necessary! My bump is growing, but I still get away in normal shirts.
Sleep: FANTASTIC! "The Tub" as we call our bed (it's like laying in a giant tub of butter... you just melt into its softness.) is my favorite part of the day. haha... I love cozy sleep!
Best moment this week: We rode the motorcycle up Provo Canyon Saturday. It was beautiful. Such a pretty drive! Although I think my motorcycle days are coming to an end... my body was getting sore within the first hour!
Miss Anything? Bike Riding. My new bike is collecting dust. It's simply TOO HOT to ride now and we all know I can't wake up at 6:00AM like before.
Movement: I love feeling her move! That is the best part of the day. I love when JC is there and I'll whipser and point at my tummy for him to look at her - why I whisper - I don't know! Hahaha! Don't want her to stop if she hears me drawing attention to her.
Food cravings: Ranch...
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: Sore tailbone this week. Probably from the bike ride and sitting all day.

Maternity Clothes? In this heat... I love dresses! Few of my shorts still fit and I wear the maternity shorts a lot. But as far as the shirts go... haven't really needed them yet. Come on Lilly... let me wear my new clothes!
Sleep: Besides how horridly hot it is at night, its good!
Best moment this week: Saturday. I spent the entire day with JC and I loved it! We went swimming around 9:30AM since it was already 87 degrees!! He made a yummy breakfast, we got ready for the day, worked on the fish tank, watched SYTYCD, dinner with his parents, shared a yummy Kiwi Coconut snow cone on the way home, and ended the night snuggled in bed watching a movie. I love days like that!
Miss Anything? Just my time with JC! Our schedules are opposite so when I get home from work he's gone until about 10:00. Grateful for our weekends together and even more grateful that this schedule wont last forever.
Movement: She is wiggling as I write this! Best feeling is her dancing around in there!
Food cravings: Pizza with Ranch....
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Symptoms: Shin pains the last few days.
Have you started to show yet? This question is almost as sad as the maternity clothes! I'm getting there... she is slowly pushing her way out.

Maternity Clothes? This week I still pulled off normal jeans and shirts. Guess its a good thing most my clothes are too big from when I lost weight!
Sleep: It was great- except on Saturday night! While camping our air matress had a leak in it... within hours we were on the floor all night!
Best moment this week: Spending time with JC. I love every minute I have with him. There was one night where baby girl was going crazy and he was there to feel all the wiggles. I love feeling her move during the day, but its always so much better when he's there with me!
Miss Anything? Riding my bike for long distances! We went riding on Saturday and I was tired before we made it 2 miles... big change from when we did our 60 mile ride!
Movement: Lots of it! I love laying there and watching my tummy. Always makes me giggle when I can see her pushing it out.
Food cravings: Nothing too particular this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? My bump is so low! Definitely slowly growing. I keep hearing about week 25/26 it 'pops' out all of a sudden. So we'll see!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I think I was more emotional this week. There were a few days I just wanted to cry or do nothing.
Looking forward to: JC starts his new job at eBay this week (well probably did start by the time I post this!). What a blessing this job is and I know he's excited to begin. Let the nights begin of never seeing his smiling face...

Total Weight gain/loss: Blah... I looked - not happy. But it's for a good reason!
Maternity Clothes? No... been in dresses or my regular jeans with a hair tie around the button. One day I will answer this as a YES!
Sleep: Had a few dreams before the party that the box wouldn't open, the balloons didn't come out, or they were all popped! Then another really weird one... but I'll keep that to my self. I've woke up with a sore back a few times or a stolen pillow... hahaha!
Best moment this week: Announcing we are having a baby girl! The party was a success and I'm so grateful for all the friends and family that came to find out! It was so much fun and so glad for all the pictures we got!
Miss Anything? Working out and seeing results. Not feeling winded, just by putting socks on!
Movement: Lots of it! She was really excited for the party. Hiccups today and daily dance moves every day! One night she must have been doing somersaults... we could feel her rolling across my tummy!
Food cravings: Peanut Butter - but is that a surprise?!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Have you started to show yet? At the party I was told I am! That's a good sign! I feel like I'm still in the, "Is she pregnant or just chubby?" phase.

Happy or Moody most of the time: So happy! It's been such a great week! We went bowling this week and that was a lot of fun. Even more that I won 3 out of the 5 games!
