This week has been so tough so far. I didn't go to school on Monday because I didn't feel well, so you think my week would feel shorter because I only have a four day week... WRONG!!!

It has gone by soooooo slow. Ugh. At least we have a three day weekend!!

How far along?: 16 weeks, 3 days
Total weight gain: I think 4 lbs? I try not to look at the scale, haha!
How big is baby?: according to my app, 5 in, 5 oz. About the size of a turnip
Stretch marks?: nope.
Sleep?: Eh. I wake up to pee a lot and I'm having a really hard time sleeping on my side. I was a stomach sleeper :(

Best moment this week?: One of my students told me she knew my baby was growing because my belly was getting bigger. Totally cute, but only because an eight year old told me that.

Movement?: I think so!! Since it's my first I'm not really sure what it should feel like.
Food cravings?: Nothing really.
Labor signs?: Definitely not.
Belly button in or out?: In.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
What I'm looking forward to: Labor Day weekend!!!!
Milestone: Hmmm I guess... being a little closer to half way through my pregnancy!!

tired :(

I am so incredibly tired this week. I don't know if it's because I'm a month (eeek!) into school already or because of Baby. I'm sure it's both! The other night I actually had a crying fit because I couldn't sleep on my stomach anymore. Ridiculous, I know. My poor husband had no clue what to do with me.

Luckily, sleeping on my side is getting a lot easier. I find that if I am extremely exhausted at the end of the day, I can fall asleep in any position, haha!

I can't believe September is almost here, it's crazy how fast time has flown by! \We have our anatomy scan scheduled for Sep. 16th, I'm can't wait!!!! I just want to see our little baby =]

hello!

Welcome to the sweetest little surprise. I decided to start this blog as a way to chronicle my journey through my first pregnancy. I also thought it would be a fun way to look back and remember everything. My husband and I are expecting our first baby on February 12, 2012.


As you might guess by the title of my blog, we made the decision to wait until the birth to find out whether or not we are having a boy or a girl. It will be our sweet little surprise :)
