Week 11

Good morning! I can't believe another week has gone by! Baby Austin is definitely making some progress. My belly is not going back to flat anytime soon. :/ As far as pants go...I'm officially out of my Gap Kids jeans today. I presume these J. Brand jeans will become my new favorites, as they're low-rise and give my belly extra room to expand. Yesterday I was miserable in my itty bitty jeans- I won't be doing that again!

Cravings? Delicious fro-yo from TCBY, of course. My pick...Pink Lemonade with gummy bears, sour patch kids, and a little yellow cake on top. Why not?! Happy Friday everyone!

Cousins

Last week I received the best text...it was this adorable picture of me and my darling cousin, Desi. The picture was taken at my grandma's house in Puerto Rico. As you can see, I we had a lot of important things to carry in my large bag. My mom thinks I was hauling around mangoes, and my cousin guessed I must have definitely been carrying shoes and makeup in there. I think all 3 guesses are very possible!

I can't help but reminisce about this time in my life. Looking back, some of my favorite memories as a child involve play dates with Desi. I can't wait for the day when my sweet angel gets to build childhood memories with their cousins too!

10 Weeks: Baby Bump or Bloat?

Today I am 10 weeks pregnant! Not sure if I'm looking a little bloated or actually showing first signs of a baby bump...either way, that's what it looks like. The small indention of 2 possible abs are officially gone. 

:( hehe 

One thing you should know is that I am extremely petite. I am 4'11, weighing 95lbs. Because I am so small I wear kids' size pants. As of this morning, things are getting pretty tight, and I'm starting to get a little worried because I don't know how much longer I'll be able to squeeze into my Gap Kids jeans! If finding clothes was hard before, finding petite maternity clothes might be an even bigger challenge! I may be breaking out the sweat pants for work in no time!

Universal Baby Theme

Naturally, I can't stop thinking about the sex of the baby. Some days I definitely feel like I'm having a boy, and the next day I definitely think I'm having a girl. Either way, being the pre-planner that I am, I think I've already decided on a theme! I really wanted something very sweet and not over-played.  As I was searching for ideas online, I was instantly inspired by these delicate little elephant cookies. I love the versatility of this theme! The possibilities are endless. What do you think?

Will The Baby Be Shy?

...Not if he/she takes after their parents. Hahaha

Second Sonogram: 8 Weeks, 5 days

Can you believe the growth in just under 3 weeks?! Baby Austin now measures nearly an inch, and has a very rapid heartbeat. We are anxiously awaiting that 18-20 week ultrasound so we can finally find out the sex of our little gummy bear. :)

First Sonogram: 6 Weeks

That little ring or bubble right in the center is our very own little macaron! And, it has a heartbeat! Oh, how I love this baby so much already! xoxo
