Bump update

How far along: 12 weeks
Total weight gain/measurements: +2lbs and my belly is 42 inches
Mama gear: not yet, but it's going to be VERY soon. My clothes are tighter, and bras are MUCH too small. 
Tiger stripes: none that I've noticed. 
Nuh nite time: better, but I've had such vivid dreams, and a little difficulty falling asleep. 
Best moment this week: hearing the baby's heartbeat. Oh my goodness. How magical. <3 so in love. 
Right now, I'd really love to go: back to bed. I'm already planning and looking forward to my nap today... 
If I don't have that on my taste buds right now I'm going to freak: Mexican food... 
Boy or girl: still feeling boy. We find out in April. 
Symptoms: constipation... Not pleasent I know. But still... And slight morning sickness until I eat something then all is well. 
Belly button in or out? In. 
Wedding rings on or off? Same as last week... 
Happy or moody most of the time: really happy a lot actually. And I've only cried like 3 times this week... So, that's good. 
Looking forward to: seeing the baby again in one month. Gah. I'm so excited. Also, my mother in law says that I can hear the baby's heartbeat with her stethoscope once I'm far enough along. So I'm pretty pumped for that.

Baby (baby) haul

Well. Because I'm super excited about baby coming I'm going to do a mini haul of the things baby owns as of yet. :-) and when I say mini, I mean, I just found out I was pregnant not too long ago, and I don't know if I'm having a boy or a girl yet, so I don't really feel comfortable buying a whole bunch of stuff for baby yet. Better believe that when i do find out, I'm getting a whole bunch of gender specific things, bow ties or Tutus. Seriously. If I have a little boy, he's going to be the most dapperly dressed child, or so I say now before hectic ness of mommy hood happens... And my little girl would be dressed to the nines, and if I can handle it a tutu every darn day. But, alas, I have roughly a month until I can make my first 'big haul' trip. Gah. I can. Not. Wait. So, here are some lil things to get me started with the amazing journey of buying stuff...

 Next is crafting. I've found an amazingly easy toutorial of a crocheted baby blanket, which all I need to know is pink or blue, and it's on... I'm excited for sure though. I'll show that when I'm done with it for sure. 

So, item number one... Baby shoes. These baby shoes were how I told my mom, first to know, and my husband that I was pregnant, so, I found out in a testJo Anne's fabric bathroom... Story starts months ago, since I've taken about a bajilliondy tests, it wasn't special to pee on a stick anymore, so I'd take them wherever... I had talked to a biff of mine eairlier in the day and she was like dude, you're totally prego, you need to take a test. I dreaded it. I dragged my hot mess self out of the house, I needed to go to the craft store anyhow, obviously I lost my seam ripper, because I swear that's what those things are made for, getting lost, and decided to stop at the cvs next door... Grabbed a test, was going to wait the 'could take up to ten minutes' get my seam ripper and go home and sew. Well. Was that totally not how it went. Here I am, hair in a top knot, (which my hair is usually done meticulously, and NEVER up) sweatpants. Yes. Dear lord. I was in sweatpants, not only that but the ones with the elastic at the bottom, a shirt that said 'I got lucky at kings' and a zip up hoodie and not a stitch of makeup on... Classy I know.  Ok. So here I am, go to the bathroom dancing trying to rip the packaging open because oh my gosh I have to pee so bad, finally get it open, pee on the stick, and bring it up to put it on the toilet paper dispenser to keep it flat. Oh. My. God. Is that two lines? No. I didn't look at it I wasn't even done peeing. No freaking way... So clearly I finish my business and take a better look. I didn't pick it up because ya gotta keep it flat it says. Holy crap. It's two lines. I'm frigging pregnant. No. Damn way. Finally it says yes... Not a let down. My frigging heart is pounding... Walked away from it and come back. Yep still pregnant... It's at this point, I realize I haven't even pulled my pants up. I put the test in my pocket, freak out grinning ear to ear and rush out of the store. What the heck to I even do first?! Crap. Call my mom... So I called her, she's bitching about her day and I literally don't even hear a word she says. I tell her it's an emergency and she has to meet me at target now. Like. N.O.W. She really tries to get out of it and I literally tell her no she doesn't have a choice I need her to buy me a pregnancy test, now. It has to be now! So reluctantly she comes. I go to the store and buy the SMALLEST pair of shoes I can find. Perfect race out of the store and go to target parking lot and wait, what feels like 20 hours but was actually about ten minutes. Ohp. Here she is. Squealing into the parking lot. And all I can do is giddily laugh, I play it as cool as I can jump into the passenger side of her car, and as she tells me about the crappy day she had, I have to look out the window because I know that she going to flip her shit in a minute. I literally can't concentrate on what she's saying I'm so excited I have a tear rolling down my cheek. I'm freaking out, so as she's telling her story, she's very animated, as she's looking away I pull out the shoes and place them on my leg closest to her. It takes her a minute to realize they are there and it's all over. She loses it. She's screaming, saying 'NO! NO! NO! Freaking way! Oh my god. Seriously? Oh my god!' Flipping she can't even form sentences... I'm crying, she's crying, I then said see that's the emergency! I already took the test... I ask her if she wants to go and look at baby stuff and of course she says yes. Her whole mood changes. She's excited now. And then I SWEAR her to secrecy... And we go look at baby stuff. Cooing and awing over everything... We finish up and go our ways, I'm still flipping out because now I'm going to tell the husband hey, you're going to be a daddy. Again! (He has a son from a previous relationship. I call him monster) so, I hand him a Reese's his favorite, and he says oh babe I love you. And then I hand him the shoes... He was slightly confused, I say um. I'm pregnant, he looks at me and goes, 'well yea, I knew that...' I was like what?! He says, 'babe, I'm a biologist and plus, your boobs are HUGE' oh thanks babe! Lol. But. Here they are. I've since painted on them, but we didn't end up using it for what I had thought. So... Now they're just cute shoes. Lol. 
So, shortly after we found out we went to Disney and I of course got some things there. I also learned who exactly figment was... He's my new favorite by the way. But, I got this onsie in a cast member exclusive backstage store. Pumped. It's super cute. 
And of course baby needed a figment plushie too. 

and a dinosaur. 

My mom went to Disneyland and got just about the only gender neutral thing she could find. Lol... I love it and now wish I had gotten the one at disneyworld while I was there. 

And then comes the outfit given by a friend of mine. <3 I love this one so flipping cute! She gave me a onsie too, but that's in the car somewhere, and I'm in my cozy bed. Lol. It's really cute though. Dark blue and says 'what's that smell' 


But, so that's my mini haul, for now at least this is what I've got. :-) if you have any suggestions on what I should get before baby comes, comment below! I've never had a baby before so I need suggestions! lol

I could just cry.

At any moment. Seriously... I could be happy watching something. Here it comes oh god. I'm crying.

 The other day, I was watching a 6 year old dance on Ellen and I was crying... WHY WAS I CRYING?! He was just dancing?! Or like today. When I learned that my next appointment isn't actually for an ultrasound like I had originally thought. It's for a regular OBGYN scary duck appointment. I talked with the receptionist, who wasn't the nicest -_- gr. and she was like 'ugh no. It's not for that' obviously I explained to her that I was under the impression that I was having an ultra sound. 

Then I hear "Shelley you have a client" oh great. Now I have to wipe the tears, and man up if you will, and do this client. Stressing the whole time, god lord I don't even FEEL pregnant anymore. I GET IT IM ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. If I hear that one more time I'm going to scream. I understand I'm lucky that I'm not continuously barfing my brains out, but it still makes me worried. Ya know? 

So I'm done with my client and I call back and speak with the nurse practitioner. Because if I don't I'm going to seriously have a panic attack, I tell her I'm freaking out, she says every pregnancy is different. (Well yea. I know that) and not to stress too much. She tells me exactly what the appointment is going to consist of, duck thing eek I hate that thing! And a Doppler heartbeat. 

Thank The Lord. Now I'm crying again because I'll at least be able to hear the heartbeat! Very excited for Mondays appointment, even though I don't get to SEE the little baby. But, hearing the heartbeat is going to make me very happy. And most likely cry again. Then HOPEFULLY I'll be able to make an appointment to find out boy or girl! Gah! I can't even. I'm so excited!
