Baby #2 - Week 4

I had every intention on having Gabby hold the sign and be sitting up on the bed. She wasn't feeling it until she saw me taking a few pictures, running back and forth, then she wanted to be in it...just not holding the sign still haha. So as you can see, I had to prop the sign up on pillows. I'm sure this won't be the last time I have to do it this way. I would love for her to be in every photo, but if she doesn't want to, I won't make her. :)

Now, onto the survey.

Today's date: November 4, 2014

How far along: 4 weeks

Total weight gain: Not sure yet. I just weighed myself so I will answer this next week. :)

Size of the baby: less than .1in ; size of a poppy seed.  

Sex: Too soon to tell!

Maternity clothes: None. Still just regular clothes but I can feel my pants are already getting tighter. Whaaat.

Sleep: mild insomnia. Otherwise, sleeping good. 

Best moment(s) of the week: Finding out I was pregnant! Got my BFP November 3, 2014!!

Movement: too soon.

Food cravings: pasta with red sauce--not like spaghetti sauce--but like a good vodka sauce. My grams MAC and cheese, I make it at least once a week! Also wanting veggies.

Food aversions: Not all that obsessed with coffee like I usually am. But that's ok, caffeine is a no-no during the 1st trimester, for me, anyway. 

Morning sickness: I get nauseas every now and again. Nothing too crazy.

Symptoms: exhausted! Dizzy, forgetful, already in nesting mode--I swear! & i've experienced the metal taste in my mouth a few times.

Labor signs: Too soon.

Belly button in or out: In.

What I miss:  my coffee/caffeine addiction lol

What I'm looking forward to: Our first doctors appointment (December 18th) when they will be able to give me a better due date and how far along I really am. I'm just winging it but we think this will be an early July 2015 baby :) 

I decided to not show belly just yet. As I am still chubby from my first pregnancy, plus when I stopped breastfeeding, I gained about 10lbs. Yikes. So I'm starting this pregnancy 14lbs heavier than last time. Once I actually look pregnant, I'll do a few bare belly shots. :)

Oh, in-case you missed it:

Sunday Funday

What a fun day!

We started off with Church and then packed up our pumpkins and headed to the park. We brought Gabby's Jeep so she could play with it with her cousin. Hubby and I ended up doing the pumpkins while Gabby played. It was hubby's first time carving pumpkins! Crazy right? I thought so.

It was such a nice afternoon and Gabby had a lot of fun.

Now we are relaxing watching the Packers game. Gabby is already asleep because, once again, she didn't nap today! 

No nap & late bed time sort of day

I tried to get her to nap, honest I did. 

We woke up late this morning. I really need to set the alarm on my phone to ring louder. She usually goes down for a nap at 1pm. Not today. She didn't fall asleep until we went on a little drive to find a park.

 I drove us back home because that park was closed...didn't get there until after 5pm. At home we played a bit and it was time for her to go to sleep. She's usually sleeping by 830pm. Not tonight. She didn't want to go to sleep tonight. Finally she fell asleep by 930pm.

 I then parked myself on the couch and watched The Purge: Anarchy. It was decent but not as good as the first one. I'm exhausted and still not feeling the greatest. I was going to film tonight but today didn't go as planned. Hope to get some filming done this weekend. 

Tomorrow we are going to the pumpkin patch! Will definitely vlog it. :) 

So upset that it was time for bed!!

This was our Tuesday

This morning we did a few learning activities. I'm starting (or, have started) preschool at home. Just something fun for both of us to do and I love watching how her little mind works! We are redoing letter A, since our vacation kind of put us on hold. 

I'm working on figuring out how she likes to learn best. I'm doing this (preschool at home) very laid back, flexible, and fun!

Before her gymnastics class, she had some fun with daddy. & I got to run! It has honestly been awhile. I haven't been feeling the greatest (think I caught a bug during vacation) so I thought a run would help. It did! 

Afterwards, she got to go to her tumbling class. Why so serious, Gabe?!

Back to the hole!

We got home on Friday night.

We had so much fun on our vacation but missed the hubby. We didn't get to see him until Saturday.

More pictures from the vacay:

 First stop in Vegas was to a Filipino restaurant! So. So. So. GOOD.

 I finally got to try my hubby's favorite drink/food: Halo Halo! It was super delicious. It's ice cream, shaved ice, beans, and some other things I'm not sure of.

 Went and checked into our hotel, the Luxor, rested and went out on the town.

 The next day we went on to Arizona and visited my family. Gabby and V finally see each other again! They were the best of friends and remembered right where they left off. They tried on shoes and had tickle fights. It was adorable!

 My grandparents and MIL. Gabby and I of course!

 The next day, we headed to the Grand Canyon West and got to ride a helicopter over the Grand Canyon! It was amazing. Our flight was about 15min long. It was so much fun. Once in a lifetime. Gabby did great with it. At first, she was a little scared, but soon got the hang of it. Afterwards she kept saying "Up! Down!" and moving her hands in the air up and down.

  We also did the Sky Walk!

Sad story about the blanket you see this pretty little child sleeping on so peacefully.  Guess who left it at the Luxor? This mommy did. :( She has had it since she was a newborn. Loved it. Smelled it constantly. Slept with it every nap and each night. No other blanket compares. We left early Tuesday morning and I'm guessing it was still tangled up in the sheets in the bed. I didn't realize I left it until we were long gone. I contacted the Luxor and filled out the Lost and Found form. They emailed me back almost immediately saying they have not found the blanket. I feel like the worst mom ever.
