That's right friends,
MILK! I have been eating cereal for breakfast because I wake up SO hungry and cereal is fast. Well my rice crispies were giving me a tummy ache (or so I thought) so today I switched to corn flakes. Not the cereal... it's the milk!!! I don't know what I'm going to do. I love milk. It makes me so sad. I am going to try 2% or skim milk, and see if that helps, but I may have to switch to soy. Yes, I have tried almond milk and I can't handle the little pieces of almond skin that float around in the milk.
That is pretty much all I have learned this week.
We spent last weekend cleaning out our drier room so we have a place to store all of the things from the music room/ baby room. So now I am back to cleaning out all of the things from the baby room and storing it all in the drier room.
Week 23 Update
Baby Size: Head to rump: 8 inches or head to feet: 11-1/2 to 12-1/2 inches
Visual Changes in Mama: My belly is getting even more round! And I am expanding.
Symptoms: Milk Milk Milk (see above) :-(
Cravings: I have been really wanting salads, Olive Garden, and Parkway cheese-sticks
Fun Facts: Eyes can open, finger prints, ears, and fingernails are complete! If you could see baby now, she would look wrinkly and saggy skinned; this is in preparation for all the fat baby will put on in the next few months. Skin is also thin and you can see bones and organs through it up until about the 8th month.

22 Weeks... I'm sick
Hey friends!
This is going to be a fairly short post because
1.) I am sick. I have a sinus infection; not a horrible one but it is still making me feel like poop. The NP I went to see here in Olney also checked Baby's heart beat and it was good. Her HR was 151 bpm.
AND
2.) Matt and I have vowed to finish deep cleaning the rooms we don't use as much so all I will really have to do is dust and sweep them. So we are really cleaning the weight room, drier room, and the dinning room this weekend.
Also I ordered the baby bedding Monday night and it is supposed to be here TODAY!!! I can't wait for it to get here so we can pick out room colors that match/ work well with the bedding!
That is all for now and here is the update!
Week 22 Update:
Baby Size: 7-2/3 inches head to rump or 11 inches head to feet
Visual Changes in Mommy: Bigger but I was told this week I am all baby.
Symptoms: Still have the back pain.
Cravings: Gala Apples, veggies with ranch dip, frozen fruit, and Frozen Yogurt.
Fun Facts: Baby now weighs a whole pound! She can tell the difference between light and dark, so if you shine a flashlight at your tummy, you may feel the baby react. Baby can also hear voices, your heartbeat, your tummy growls, and loud noises such as a loud TV and emergency sirens.

21 Weeks...
Hey Friends!
On Monday we had a sonogram and a doctor appointment, and I learned new things about the baby!
First I found out that I have an Anterior Placenta which isn't bad unless the placenta is in the Placenta Praevia position. An anterior placenta is just the placenta has implanted on the opposite side of my uterus, so it is closer to my belly button instead of my spine. But the placenta is far enough away from my cervix that the tech and the doctor aren't worried at all about praevia which is when the placenta is over the cervix.
The next thing we found out is that the baby is growing great and the due date is still May 25th!
Lastly we found out the gender of the baby!!! All signs point to a GIRL!!! We are so excited and are trying to decide on a name for her! I can not wait to start buying girl stuff and getting the room ready for her!
Week 21 Update:
Baby Size: 7-1/4 inches head to rump or 10.8 inches head to feet.
Visual Changes in Mommy: Getting bigger and more round
Symptoms: Nothing sickly but I have been having really bad back pain.
Cravings: Gala apples, Flamin' hot Cheetos, frozen fruit, and veggies with ranch dip.
Fun Facts: Legs and arms are in proportion. Motion is more coodinated because neurons are connected between the brain and muscles, and cartilage is turned to bone. Lastly baby is getting to learn tastes from what you eat! Spicy or Sweet the baby will now be able to tell the difference!

Week 20!!! Yay! Halfway!
Woohoo!
Halfway point friends! And my blog is actually going out on the correct day!
This week I have felt pretty good! I have had more energy lately and I have spent my time in the music room, cleaning. So this week I have spent trying to clean out the closet that is in the room that will be the baby's (the music room). I'm storing all the clothes that no longer fit me and am condensing my wardrobe so that I have room for baby stuff! It is taking a while as I have to try on a lot of the clothes. I can't wait to have this room clean, painted, and ready for Baby S!
Hopefully after Monday we can stop calling the baby "Baby S" and actually call him/her by an actual name! I have a sonogram Monday afternoon and I am so excited to find out what our baby's gender is!
Well I must get back to cleaning so friends I leave you with this:
20 Week Update:
Baby Size: 6-1/2 inches (head to rump) or 10.5 inches (head to feet)
Visual Changes in Mommy: Even larger and more round.
Symptoms: Mainly I have no real sickness type symptoms but I get winded quite easily and I have begun to need a pillow under my belly as I sleep.
Cravings: Strawberries, celery, carrots, and ranch dip (with the veggies)
Fun Facts: Baby's fingerprints are almost complete! Baby now has teeth buds forming beneath their gum line, and eye brows and eye lashes are beginning to grow.

19 weeks and a few days...
Sorry friends,
The past few weeks have been hectic to say the least. Trying to get Christmas gifts bought/made and wrapped was itself a huge task then making food for several get togethers and making sure we knew what times to be at said places! Phew! Now that I have gotten through Christmas and the New Year, I can do the fun stuff like blogging and sleeping regularly!
The most notable thing about Christmas besides being with family is that I felt the baby move a little at the end of the week! Little nudges that I at first thought were gas but realized that gas bubbles didn't feel like that! It was wonderful! And I don't know how to explain the feelings other that it truly feels a bit like gas bubbles moving but a little different.
This week has been relaxing and fun. Matt was off work the week after Christmas so we got to spend it together. We lounged most of the week although we always had goals set to finish throughout the day (i.e. finish the laundry or clean the kitchen). I have been feeling great and I can't wait for next week (Jan. 9) because we will be going to a sonogram that will, hopefully, tell us if we are having a boy or girl! :)
Week 19 Update:
Baby Size: 6 inches head to rump or about 10 inches head to feet.
Mama Weight Gain: Honestly, I haven't weighed myself in over a month so after this week I will be removing this update!
Visual Changes in Mama: I'm not really sure how much I have changed looking at me head on but from the side I am definitely a lot more round.
Symptoms: Nausea if I don't eat every few hours.
Cravings: Gala Apples, pickles, and ice water with lime
Fun Facts: Vernix Caseosa, a greasy white film, is now protecting the baby's skin from amniotic fluid. This film is what keeps the baby, at birth, from looking "prune-y", much like after a person takes a long bath!
