Our Little Cardinal!

I'm back! Sorry it's been so long since my last blog. I have a lot of catching up to do! As of today I am 12 weeks pregnant. The picture below Kyle took of me today. I think I might be a little bigger than most at 12 weeks, but that alright more to love! :D I am getting anxious for our next doctors appointment on March 12. We both can't wait to hear the heartbeat and see the baby on the ultra sound. If you notice in the picture below I am wearing Kyle's sweatpants because mine are a little tight!

Last week Kyle and I received some presents from my mom and dad. They sent us baby ball state outfits. Below is a picture of little socks for baby. They have cardinal on them, and say "little cardinal!"
We also got a long sleeve ball state t-shirt!
And a grey onesie!!! I love our ball state outfits! We also got a Ball State Baby sippy cup :) Thank you for the presents! Sweet pea is going to look so cute!
Other news a couple weekends ago I experienced one day of morning sickness. It was a few Saturday's ago I had a horrible headache all day. I think my headache might have been the cause of me getting sick all day. Kyle called our friend Joyce and she told me to put my feet in hot water and a cool wash cloth on my forehead. Once I did that my headache went away and I stopped getting sick. It was a miracle! Kyle did a great job taking care of me! I am thankful I haven't experienced anymore morning sickness.

The hardest part in my pregnancy so far is not being able to sleep through the night. I usually wake up 3 - 4 times a night either to pee, get something to eat, etc. I really miss sleeping, but I guess it is great practice for when baby comes ;)

How far along? 12 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 8 lbs
Maternity clothes? yes, I love my maternity shirts. My jeans don't really fit anymore. I will need to get some maternity jeans

Stretch marks? No
Best moment this week: Making it to 12 weeks and almost to the end of my first trimester, watching Kyle talk to the baby and rub my belly! its so sweet :)
Miss Anything? sleep, sleep, and more sleep

Movement:
No :( I can't wait to feel the baby move and kick
Food cravings: buffalo chicken & strawberries
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I get a headache
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes...I look 20 weeks pregnant not 12 ;)
Gender: Unknown, we can't wait to find out!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? In but its already thinking about popping out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our next doctors appointment and my birthday!
Not Looking Forward to: Nothing right now... I'm looking forward to it all!

  1. Yay!!!!! You are back :). I missed reading your blogs.... You sure look cute with that - not so little - belly. You really do look bigger then 12 weeks! I wish you were able to sleep better and I hope those headaches and vomiting don't come back. They say you will have more energy in your 2nd trimester - I hope that is true for you!
    That is so cute that Kyle talks to SweetPea :). You both are going to be great parents!
    We are so glad you liked the Ball State outfits :). We can't wait to see SweetPea wearing them...
