Week 20: Half Way There!

Happy Friday! My sweet macaron is well on her way. Baby Austin is 20 weeks today!!! What a milestone! I'm finally starting to feel her kick, and I can't help but think she's going to be a great dancer, just like mommy. ;) Hahaha(!)

It's A Girl!

I'm so happy I could scream! Yes, it's true, we are having a girl! This was such a fun surprise, I decided I wanted to do something special to pass on the excitement to the proud grand-parents-to-be. After much anticipation and days of torturing them with the big secret, I finally revealed my sweet macaron's gender in a really fun way! Please note their reactions- absolutely priceless! By the way, we are naming her Sofia {after my favorite champagne, of course}.

Week 17

Week 17 greeted me with a burst of energy. I felt extra happy and well-rested; it was awesome! I also caught myself reaching for an extra snack or two throughout the day...but hey, I'm preggie! {Anything for the baby! :)}

Only 1 more week until we get to find out the sex of my little bug!!! Stay tuned for next week's big reveal! XOXO

Week 16

Hello friends. Here's Baby A at week 16. I had an early flight yesterday morning, so I quickly pulled together the most comfortable outfit I could find and head out the door. I promise I didn't purposely match my phone to my outfit! I wish I had about 20 more of these pants and tops. My gosh are they comfortable! Especially when you're stuck in an airport all day due to flight delays...bleh! 

So, while I waited and waited to finally board my flight, I caught up on some mommy reading material. My sister in law gave me this hilarious baby book called Taboo Secrets of Pregnancy. This book is funny and scary! The author is very experienced in child baring as she's been through 3 pregnancies herself... so in this book she reveals alllll the gory details about the stuff that no one really talks about, like growing an extra nipple..or two during pregnancy. I didn't even know it was possible {is it??}! Eeeek! Needless to say, it's a very interesting read! XOXO

Week 15

It's not a pumpkin, folks. My belly is that big! Ok... I'm not loving how enormous my stomach looks these days, but I'm excited to officially be showing. My belly looks extra wide...I'm going to blame it on the cut of these jeans. They are not so flattering in pictures. 

Now, there is another part of my body that's growing along with my belly and I'm not complaining...yes, my breast! There are definitely perks to this whole pregnancy thing, starting with that. :) I never thought I'd have cleavage, so thank you Baby Austin for making it all possible for me. Haha 

Happy halloween weekend everyone!  

14 Weeks

Hi Friends! Sorry for the delayed updates. It's been a crazy month! I've been doing a little bit of traveling and lots of celebrating these past few weeks. Dustin's birthday was October 2nd, and my birthday was this past weekend on October 18th! We had such a great time, thanks to our lovely family and friends who always make us feel so special. :) 

As you can probably see from these pics, my belly is growing more and more every day. A few weeks ago my belly was still a little mushy, now it's starting to feel pretty solid and round. I was recently at the doctor for my 2nd trimester check up and baby A is doing so great! His/Her heartbeat is at a very healthy 156 bpms. :) In less than one month we'll be able to get a read on the sex. Hopefully! Fingers crossed!!

Week 12: Hooray!

We finally made it to week 12! I am a happy mama. I am feeling so much better this week. I am not as nauseous, hungry or tired. Almond milk has become part of my daily routine and I really think it has made a difference in my life. :) 

Last night was my first night out on the town since I found out I was pregnant. I had a great time! I made it to 11pm without feeling exhausted or irritable. If this is any indication of what the second trimester has in store, I gladly welcome it! Here's a pic of me enjoying a fabulous evening with some very fun ladies at my work BFF's birthday party! PS, isn't Dallas beautiful?!
