16 Weeks - starting to look pregnant!

I believe I first felt McBaby move at about 14 1/2 weeks. It felt a little like carbonation in my belly. I checked with my dr. since everything I've read says it's far to early to feel the baby, but she thought I probably did. Yeah! Since then I've been feeling him/her every once in a while (not every day). I can't wait for those strong kicks (yes, I'll regret saying that later) so I know he/she is okay in there.

This week I did some more maternity clothes shopping. My current pants are now too uncomfortable to wear buttoned all day so I sport the BeBand every day now. I did buy a couple of cute things, but will have to wait to wear some of them until I'm showing more.

How far along: 16 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain: approx. 6 lbs
Maternity clothes: really starting to need them now!
Pregnancy signs: finally experiencing some cravings (queso!), starting to get a belly (well, more than I already had)
What I miss: eating without guilt
What I'm looking forward to: finding out if our McNugget is a boy or a girl! 3 weeks!
Milestones: Baby's eyes are working this week!

8 weeks 5 days

Today I am 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant. We had our 2nd ultrasound and heard our McBaby's heartbeat for the first time. I can't believe this is real. I think I will continue to freak out until I hold our baby in my own arms.

Feigning Optomism

Today I am pregnant and I love my baby. My past does not dictate my future.

So, I've been doing some baking lately...

I'm not sure why, especially since I've been trying to lose some weight, but I've been really into baking lately.
