15w4d bump comparison

How have I been pregnant long enough to do a 10 week comparison? Wowsa.

This is me down 20lb. I thought I had no bump, but I guess I kind of do!

15w0d

This will be short and sweet.

Maternity clothes make my bump look like a bump :P My shirt is all wrinkly from snuggling a sweet baby today!

How far along? 15w0d!
Total weight gain/loss? I haven't weighed myself this week.
Maternity clothes? I don't need to wear any, but a good friend bought me the shirt I'm wearing today and it's super cute
Stretch marks? Same stretch mark city on my back and sides. I have learned that rapid weight loss can also cause stretch marks. Mystery solved
Sleep? I could sleep all day still.
Best moment last week? Meh, it was just another week. Nothing horrible and nothing great.
Movement? I felt a very weird thing (for lack of a better word) a few inches below my belly button the other night. I haven't felt anything like it since. I guess once I start feeling baby I'll know whether that was just some weird thing or if baby feels that way.
Food cravings? Blimpies. I still don't have any strong cravings.
Gender? No effing clue
Belly button in/out? In for a long time. It's stretching a bit though.
What I miss: alcohol
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if LO is a boy or girl!
Milestones: I haven't really hit any real milestones in a bit. Every week, I get all excited that I'm x number of weeks along. If I'm already 15w, I can definitely do 25 more. This is flying by crazy fast!

First purchase

And my super small stash. I honestly don't have a clue how many diapers I plan to get bc I want to try quite a few, but have my stash consist of mainly bumgenius OS diapers. I think we'll be CDing in the NB stage using mainly prefolds with covers and potentially a small chunk of alva's newborn dipes. I don't want to spend a bunch on the newborn stash bc IDK how big this baby will be or how fast he/she will grow. I want the rest of my stash to be easy for Keith to use.

For newborn I'm thinking:
4-6 small covers (I ordered an XS Thirsties Cover (11.50) and a NB Bummis Super Whisper Wrap (8.95) tonight)
24 dozen NB prefolds (I am looking at either Osocozys or Green Mountains)
5-6 alva NB pockets
2-3 Snappis

I'm honestly not sure if it'll be enough. That comes out to 30 diapers. Maybe I'll get some more alvas bc they're right under 5 bucks. I could get 10 for 50 dollars and they'd be easy if a family member wanted to change a diaper or for overnight when I just want to feed, change, and sleep as much as possible.

For the rest of my collection, I have no idea how many I want. After tonight's order, I will have 18 one size Diapers.

Here is my stash before my order tonight. I bought some BG freetimes earlier this week (the 6 on the left). They were buy 5-get 1 free. I have (starting with the row on the left) Mirror, Butternut, Clementine, Twilight, Moonbeam, Grasshopper in the freetimes (AIOs) and I'm not sure what color the two light blues are, but the last 4 are Noodle (I think) in the hook and loop closure 4.0s (pockets).
Tonight, I ordered another buy 5-get 1 free deal, but it was in the 4.0s. I got them in snaps and I got 2 Sassy's (red), 2 Alberts (the cutest print ever), Ribbit (a dark green), and another Clementine (that orange color in the picture). The Thirsties Cover is just a medium blue color and the Bummis was a really cute white with light green polka dots. I do not want too many expensive gender-specific diapers. Alvas and sunbabys have super cheap and cute prints so I'll probably buy some of them when we find out the sex, but I want my BGs to stay gender neutral. For now, I think I'm done buying the BGs. I can't see myself needing more than 18 of them.

In unrelated news, I finally switched up the layout of my blog and figured out what was going on with my side bar floating to the bottom. I think I'll add a few abbreviations to the side. Goodnight!

14w4d

Sorry for the lack of update this week. Honestly, there isn't anything fun to write about happening. I'm still getting more and more excited for our elective u/s on the 24th! I'm hoping so badly that baby shows his/her goods! I had a dream the night before last that LO was a boy and I can't get it out of my head. My "mom instinct" is completely gone when it comes to the sex. I am officially totally unsure of what we're having. I have been feeling shitty all week as usual. Other than that.. I listen to LO every few days on the Doppler and that's it.

I did buy some CDs the other night. 6 Bumgenius freetimes (they're OS AIOs). I'll post a pic of my tiny stash when they come in. I'm thinking we'll probably CD our newborn with strictly prefolds and covers. I'm excited bc I really don't even want to bother with disposables.
If we have a boy, I am buying these like the minute we find out:

How far along? 14w4d!
Total weight gain/loss? I was 121 two days ago. That puts me at about 19-20lb under
Maternity clothes? Still none. My regular clothes are getting a bit loose. I suspect it'll be a bit before I even need my belly band again
Stretch marks? I have been attacked everywhere with them. I have about 6 or more on my back, several on both of my hips and one on each boob. I am totally baffled at where this weight is going if my skin is stretching enough to give me stretch marks.. I have no bump so I'm just totally lost
Sleep? I could sleep all day still.
Best moment last week? Meh, it was just another week. Nothing horrible and nothing great
Movement? Not for a while, I'm sure.
Food cravings? Blimpies. I still don't have any strong cravings.
Gender? No effing clue
Belly button in/out? In for a long time. It's stretching a bit though.
What I miss: Just feeling good or normal. I kind of hate being pregnant so far
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if LO is a boy or girl!
Milestones: Well, being over 14 weeks, I am 100% in 2nd tri. Some people count 12w, some 13w, some 13w3d, and some 14w. I am over all of those (: How the hell did I get here?! Time is flying!

14w4d

Spoke too soon

HUGE puke fest this morning after feeling shitty all day yesterday. It started literally an hour or so after posting about how my m/s was gone. Satan baby, please stop fucking with me :P

13w0d

WOW! I can't believe jessuhbean and I made it this far! 2nd TRIMESTER!!! I guess technically it is 13w3d, but I'm going to round down so I can celebrate :P I love seeing my countdowns and tickers 1/3 of the way finished!

My m/s has left the building, at least for a few days. OMG it is so great to not be throwing up!

I am finally starting to feel a bit excited (well today.. who knows, tomorrow I could be a mess again!). I've been waiting to feel a bit more confident. I haven't been using my Doppler as much. Now I only break it out about twice a week vs every day (and sometimes several times in a day).

My check up was yesterday. It was pretty uneventful. The nurse wasn't worried about my weight at all. She said it is fine and she expects me to put it back on when my appetite comes back. She said my bp was "perfect." My doctor found the baby's heartbeat literally as soon as she pressed the Doppler wand to my belly. She even commented about how easy it was. Baby has been chilling dead center by my hairline for 2 or 3 weeks (before he/she was a tiny bit the my left). HB was 160. She said she'd guess girl by the heartbeat. I was surprised she'd entertain an OWT.

This study (above) is from the 80's.. but I doubt it is something that would change bc of time or technology. Listening on a Doppler for a hb and plotting it on a chart seems to be the only way to do a study like that.

I got the results for the NT scan b/w portion with the u/s. 1 in 20k chance of Downs Syndrome and an equally high number for the Trisomy's. She said I "passed" the test :P I was so excited to hear such a high number for the DS, that I don't remember the other numbers she told me.


How far along? 13w0d!
Total weight gain/loss? I haven't weighed myself today, but yesterday I was 125. Seems like my weight loss stalled this week (:
Maternity clothes? Still none. I have thought about buying some bc it's labor day weekend. I guess I'll talk to Keith tomorrow
Stretch marks? I have the small boob stretch mark and a HUGE boob stretch mark on the same boob ):
Sleep? I could sleep all day still.
Best moment last week? Feeling a bit better towards the end of the week. 3 days since I've blown chunks!
Movement? Not for a while, I'm sure.
Food cravings? Scooby Snacks gummies. I can eat like 3-4 packs of them at one time! YUM!
Gender? I'm still leaning towards girl, but I'm not sure.. I'd say it is only about 60% girl feeling
Belly button in/out? In for a long time.
What I miss: I have been feeling like a few glasses of wine would be nice. Otherwise I don't miss much
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if LO is a boy or girl!
Milestones: Hit 2nd tri, I guess the next real milestone is the a/s and half baked! Less than 50 days!
