Week 15!

This one will probably be another short one, but not because I'm feeling any less blessed, I'm just wondering where that so-called "second trimester burst of energy" is! I haven't seen it!! I suppose it doesn't help that we've been working hard cleaning up and packing up all day today. I won't bore you with details, but I will give you some week 15 news!

I took 2 pictures this week because I wanted one with regular clothes on instead of just a camisole. I refuse to take bare belly photos to publish, but I did expose my beloved belly band which better highlights my growing bump. We had been riding with the windows down, so try to ignore my messy head.

How far along: 15 weeks, 4 days

Gender: Mama can't get away from masculine pronouns 

Weight gain: +2lbs as far as I know

Maternity clothes: Scrubs, scrubs, and scrubs. Flowy shirts and belly bands...I think I've stretched the belly band use as far as I can though

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: I've been sleeping well, aside from waking up due to little bitty on my bladder

Best moment this week: My sweet Clinkscale moved this week! He/she provided me a beautiful moment in the midst of sadness (work-related), and I will always be grateful. A wonderful moment that brought to light the sanctity of both new life and death and how blessed I am to experience both. Thanks, Clinkscale, you're steady teaching your mama already. You just nudged me again, does that mean you're acknowledging my thanks? I love you.

Miss anything: I would say Tyler, but I'm looking at him now. I'll be missing him again tomorrow though, of that I am sure.  

Movement: YES!! What a thrilling feeling, however fleeting it may be

Cravings: Breakfast: biscuits, hashbrowns, waffles, you name it.  

Queasy or sick: No! I am blessed!

Looking forward to: Anatomy screen on May 13th and Disney with the marching band this weekend!

It feels good to be in Thomasville, but it will feel even better to have my family back together again in Dalton.

XOXO,
Hannah

14 Weeks Blessed...a little late

Hello blog world! This blog SHOULD have been written at least a week ago, but internet is splotchy at best at my dad's house, so here it is.

A lot of things happened in week 14, which is another reason I should've been blogging at the time, but it's too late for that now. On the first day of week 14 I was on my 2nd day of a new job, and at 14wks and 2days I got to hear my sweet Clinkscale's heartbeat at my doctor's visit. I also found that we'll learn Clinkscale's sex on May 13th--a date that can't get here soon enough. That's all I've got for now, here are the week 14 basics:

How far along: 14 weeks and 6 days when this photo was taken

Gender: Mama had a few doubts this week, but still thinking Clinkscale is a boy! 

Weight gain: +2lbs according to the scales at the doctors office

Maternity clothes: Scrubs almost all the time, with loose fitting dresses and pants with a belly band when I'm not working

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Sleeping well aside from waking up about once per night for a bathroom break

Best moment this week: Seeing my sweet husband on the weekend! Staying 5 1/2 hours away from my husband during the week is not as difficult as I had anticipated, but it sure does make the weekends sweeter. I was also excited to hear that we'll be having our anatomy & sex determination scan May 13th. I can't leave out the fact that I started a brand new job that I'm loving!

Miss anything: Just the love of my life during the week  

Movement: I had one questionable feeling, but I thought it was gas...still not certain

Cravings: Breakfast foods 

Queasy or sick: No! I am blessed!

Looking forward to: Weekends with my husband and our anatomy scan May 13th!

That's all I've got!

XOXO,
Hannah
