Pregnancy Thus Far

How far along? 12 Weeks, 4 days
How big is the peanut? 2.5 Inches (a lime!)
Total weight gain/loss? IDK
Maternity clothes? I did buy a pair of maternity pants that I wear often, my other jeans still fit fine, but they are so uncomfortable...pressure on my belly is a no go. So lot's of leggings and maxi skirts still.
Sleep? Not too bad. I have to tuck a pillow under me, but usually only wake up once or twice through the night. When I wake up from naps I always feel terrible so I usually don't do that anymore.
Best moment this week? I felt so good Monday night and we went and got shakes from Artic Circle....yummmm :) I also got to send a package to the boys to tell them we're expecting. They should be opening them any time now!
Symptoms? morning sickness, extra saliva (yuck), food sounds gross most of the time, but I can eat it now. I also had some issues so I've been on anti-biotics and they made me super sick and I've been throwing up lots...just got the news today that I quit taking them though...so hoping for a very happy Thanksgiving :::)
Food cravings? Not really any.
Food aversions? Most everything, any strong smell threatens hurling, water, all sweets. I drank that lemon water that sounded so good and barfed it up...I smell lemons now and usually dry heave a while.
Gender? I have no clue. And we'll be super happy with either.
Belly button in or out? Still in
What I miss? Liking food.
What I'm looking forward to? Liking food again, feeling better and being able to buy stuff for our lil baby!!
Milestones? 10 weeks-we got to see the lil babe and hear it's heartbeat...AMAZING. AANNNDDD we started telling extended family :)

 

We just love our little baby so much already!!!!

 

Ms. Nicole

My new title on life is Ms. Nicole. But it usually sounds more like Ms. Cole/icole/clicole etc. And I love it. A few months ago I started a new job working with Bear River Head Start teaching Preschool at Fielding Elementary (which is kinda cool cause that's where Tyler is from...random). The kids are hilarious and my assistant teacher is awesome...seriously, awesome. I'm excited for the year to progress so we can get used to our class and get our learning on!

And the Journey begins!!

11.5.2013.  Let me start out by saying that both Tyler and I have been baby hungry for quite some time now! But we had some goals that we had to reach first so that we could feel happy about all of our decisions. We were very fortunately extremely blessed and didn't have to wait long for our little miracle to start growing. When I realized I was 2 days late I couldn't hold it in. I wanted to find out and tell Tyler in some cute way...nope! I just blurted it out and we found out together...which was fantastic anyways. Next to find out was our best friends, then my parents, then Ty's parents...then my sister. Now we're holding out to tell everyone else until we're into the second trimester for so many reasons. I wasn't going to do this journal thingy...but figured I might want it in the future. But since I'm on the couch 95% of the time I'm home, and paper and pen is so far away...a blog it is!

How far along? 9 Weeks, 3 Days
How big is the peanut? 1 inch long (a grape!)
Total weight gain/loss? Lost 7 lbs
Maternity clothes? I wish, just the comfies I already have. I.e. maxi skirts and leggings!!
Sleep? I could sleep ALL day long! Nights I toss and turn a lot, but still sleep okay.
Best moment this week? I felt well enough on Sunday to eat the baby back ribs our friends cooked...delicious :)
Symptoms? Morning sickness...all day long. Dry mouth, water sounds/tastes disgusting, hungry yet nauseous 90% of the time, heartburn, constipation, and hiccups.
Food cravings? It changes each time I do have a craving, but I've wanted popcorn, a milkshake, smoothies twice and warm water with lemon (something I've NEVER even had before). Luckily I have the worlds sweetest husband who buys anything I that I say sounds good.
Food aversions? Most everything, any strong smell threatens hurling, water, all sweets (super weird for me...I haven't had a candy bar in WEEKS. And yes, Halloween was 5 days ago!!!)
Gender? I have no clue. And we'll be super happy with either.
Belly button in or out? Still in
What I miss? Liking food.
What I'm looking forward to? Liking food again, feeling better and seeing our sweet lil baby's ultrasound and hearing it's <3 beat!
Milestones? Only a few more week until the second tri...woohoo!
Bump? haha I hope not....
