Mango St. Vincent

Sweet Potato St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Great! I continue to have menstrual like cramps and I still think it is between the baby moving and my uterus growing.

Milestones: We had our BIG ultrasound Friday, the 16th, (which actually was week 17, but oh well lol)! It lasted for about any hour since the u/s tech has to measure and get pictures of all different things... the femur bone, the heart, the stomach, the bladder, the kidneys, the brain, etc. I am happy to announce that the baby is 100% healthy! But, I am glad it lasted long lol... We had a full hour of just watching baby! The first thing we found out was the sex though! And, wow, I can't even begin to tell you how excited Guy and I are!! We will be announcing the sex to everyone at Christmas time so be on the look out for your Christmas card in December! It will be the best present for our families!

How do I look? Pregnant... round belly and big boobs lol!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a sweet potato! Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

What am I craving? I continue to crave salty foods!

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What am I looking forward to? Feeling flutters of movement for the first time... Registering... Going home for my baby shower in January...

And for your viewing pleasure... a belly pic 17w6d

Onion St. Vincent

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

Avacado St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Great! I have started to get a little crampy, but I seriously think it is the baby moving and stretching my uterus. When the cramping starts, it may only last for 10-15 seconds. Hurts like mentrual cramps, but comforts me knowing that the baby is moving!

How do I look? Pregnant... round belly and big boobs lol!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a avacado! Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming

What am I craving? I continue to crave salty foods!

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What am I looking forward to? Finding out the sex next Friday... Feeling flutters of movement for the first time... Registering... Going home for my baby shower in January...

Naval Orange St. Vincent

Lemon St. Vincent

Peach St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? I feel great! Well, minus the gas pains lol! I continue to sleep A LOT - 12 hours on some nights minus the 10 trips to the bathroom lol! I have added Dr. Pepper here and there back into my diet so the headaches are gone!!

Milestones: Second trimester - woo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the little bambino up to? He or she is about the size of a peach! The baby may be sucking its thumb and is practicing breathing in & out. Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long and weighs nearly 1oz.

What am I craving? Everything it seems like lol!

Aversions: Still Peanut Butter

What do I miss? Having energy!

What am I looking forward to? Oh! So much! I am so excited about this trimester. I can't wait to feel the first flutters & movement! Registering, the BIG ultrasound and getting to find out the sex, getting a distinct baby bump, & feeling better more energetic!

Plum St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? I think we have covered that in detail ;) I have been sleeping a lot and having headaches.

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a plum! As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.

What am I craving? Mexican food!

Aversions: still peanut butter

What do I miss? My sex drive is still MIA. Hoping it will kick into high gear as I get into 2nd tri!

What am I looking forward to? Oh! So much! I am so excited about finishing up this trimester and heading into the 2nd trimester. I can't wait to feel the first flutters & movement! Registering, the big u/s, getting a distinct baby bump, & feeling better (hopefully) just to name a few things!

That about wraps it up! I am overjoyed to be pregnant and trying to enjoy every moment. It feels more real every single day and I am looking forward to all the milestones that await. Thank you all for sharing this journey with me...

Lime St. Vincent

Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Tired! Still having headaches every other day or so.

How do I look? Same

Milestone of the week: Starting my new job!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a lime! Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.

What am I craving? Brownies

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What am I looking forward to? Starting to show more and more... feeling the baby move for the first time... and finding out the sex in 8 weeks!
