20 weeks! Halfway Done Baking!

Not the most flattering picture... but you get the idea. You're in there and growing... as apparently is my face.

How far along: 20 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: It's Christmas. I'm going to take the week off from weight checks!
Maternity clothes: Today I did not wear maternity clothes but I did wear a maternity dress to Christmas Eve Service. Normal clothes are getting too snug and maternity clothes are too big. We're in an awkward phase!
Sleep: I've started sleeping with a pillow in between my legs which is helping me fall asleep.
Best moment this week: It's Christmas! I kept thinking that next year you'll be here!
Movement: Yes and I love it!
Cravings: Soup, Mexican
Gender: GIRL! Avery Madison Wise!
Labor Signs: No. Thank the Lord!
Belly Button in our out? In!
What I miss: Wine. I would have loved to have a glass of wine on Christmas Eve and Christmas.
What am I looking forward to? A quiet day tomorrow! The last 2 days have been crazy! Yesterday was Christmas Eve and today is Christmas! Your brother is so overwhelmed, he didn't open a single present! I think tomorrow, now that we're home, and things are quiet, he may dive into the pile!
Milestones: We hit 20 weeks! You're halfway done! (That is if you're full term!)


You may or may not have 3 Christmasy outfits already and MULIPLE Christmas bows. This one is my favorite! I sure hope you fit in it! The mud pie brand sizing is super weird.

You got an ornament today with your name on it. It made having you here next year seem more real. I also got a baby bijorn! I had one for Parker that I loved and I really wanted a new (fun green color) one for you since Parker spit up and pooped in his more times than I can count. I think he spent the majority of the 1st 6 months of life in it! I hope you like it as well!


We love you to pieces! Keep growing and nudging me! I love it!

15 weeks

Finally a baby bump to take a picture of!

How far along: 15 weeks, 1 day\

Total weight gain/loss: +1 pound. I have had an appetite like NEVER before this week! I'm hungry constantly!
Maternity clothes: Not yet but if this eating keeps up I'm sure it will be soon! I did wear a pair of maternity yoga pants the other day because I needed to do laundry. They were SO cozy but WAY too big!
Sleep: We've been sleeping amazingly! We even went to sleep at 8:45 on Thursday and slept until 8am!
Best moment this week: I felt you rolling around twice this week!
Movement: Twice I felt you tumbling around. It was very sweet!
Cravings: No cravings but Qdoba sounds tasty and so does homestyle chicken noodle soup. I don't HAVE to have them but they sound pretty appealing! 
Gender: GIRL!
Labor Signs: No. Thank the Lord!
Belly Button in our out? In!
What I miss: Not having daily headaches.
What am I looking forward to? Getting in the nap nanny! It was supposed to be here this week but UPS lost it so diapers.com sent another AND gave me a $20 credit! AMAZING customer service!
Milestones: Feeling you move.


Lets, see, according to the baby center week by week site, you're an APPLE (hopefully a delicious, plump honeycrisp one)! You are about 4 inches long and weigh 2 1/2 ounces. Go you! Keep up the great growing!


I've been making bows and burp cloths. They're turning out SOOO cute! I can't wait for you to puke on them! At least you'll be puking in style! This week, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought lots of ribbon, headbands, hair clips and more fabric to make more bibs, bows, onesies and burp clothes for you! I've been so pleased with how they're turning out! 

 This also came in the mail for you today! I'm in love! (of course yours says "A")

 Love you, little lady!
