Max's 1st Birthday!

Yesterday was Max's first birthday! We had so much fun and took sooo many pictures. He loved playing with his balloons and opening his presents. He wasn't so sure about the cake. :) He was in a very serious mood the whole party, but once everyone left he ran around the room screaming and playing with his new toys. I was a little sad yesterday morning when I woke up because I can't believe he's gotten so big. I don't think I would have been so sad if I hadn't had all the pregnancy hormones. :) Here's some pics Catherine took of his birthday - haven't had a chance to upload mine yet...

 

Pics of Max from birth until now

He was really wanting to get into that present!

He got a little red wagon from LiLi and Grandpa

Sweet baby :)

 

Week 12 Highlights

Size of Baby: A plum

Movement: Don't feel anything yet.

Cravings: Sausage egg biscuit from McDonald's. :) I can pretty much still only eat oatmeal, soup, and sandwhiches.

Weight gain: Lost two pounds.

What I miss: Being able to spend time with Daniel. I go to bed so early now it feels like I don't see him at all!

What I'm wearing: Regular clothes, but this week I can see a little pooch starting to come!

Sleep: I have been sleeping so much better this week! I'm so glad!

Symptoms: Still throwing up and nauseated almost all day...especially at night.

What I'm Looking Forward to: Finding out what I'm having of course!

Thinking Pink...

Falling in LOVE with these from Pottery Barn. The wall art is twice as much as the bedding!

So CUTE! I need to stop looking at girl stuff.

My Poor House

I have had ZERO energy lately. I don't feel up to cooking, cleaning, laundry...nothing. It's hard for me to even get up to go to the restroom! I start getting dizzy and seeing spots every time I get up. Yesterday my mom came and helped me clean my house. It was looking awful! There was laundry on the couch, the floors needed to be swept and the dining room was still in remodeling mode. She swept the whole front of my house, folded my laundry and helped me get the dining room completely in order. Daniel was so excited our house wasn't a wreck. He tends to get disappointed in me when the house isn't clean. It makes me even more disappointed in myself. I feel like I am not doing a good job with anything at this point in the pregnancy...parenting, the house, you name it. It's so hard when I have no energy and am throwing up all the time. But I'm so thankful my mom came to help me in my time of need!

On another note, we are putting this Ikea bookshelf in our dining room tonight. I can't wait to decorate with it!

11 weeks with #2!

Week 11 Highlights

Size of Baby: A lime

Movement: Don't feel anything yet.

Cravings: Don't really have any cravings yet, but I pretty much can only eat oatmeal, soup, and sandwhiches.

Weight gain: I gained 2, then lost 4. So far I weigh 2 pounds less than pre-pregnancy.

What I miss: Being able to eat anything I want! I miss eating spicy foods and seafood the most.

What I'm wearing: Regular clothes! I even fit into my size 0 Buckle jeans that have been a little too snug to wear since I had Max.

Sleep: I have been sleeping a little better this week because Max has! I usually wake up 2-3 times during the night to go to the restroom. I go to bed around 8, then wake up around 4:30 and toss and turn until Daniel gets up.

Symptoms: Still throwing up and nauseated almost all day...especially at night.

What I'm Looking Forward to: Finding out what I'm having! I should find out in about 7 weeks. A long time, I know!

Here's some cute baby girl room stuff I found last night:

If I have a boy I'll probably just use Max's bedding and get Max something new. I can't believe I am going to have two babies in cribs! Wow!
