Kyle Quote: "That chocolate on the side of your face is really hot. You don't look pregnant at ALL right now."
Baby Gibsy attended its first wedding this week! Well, in utero, so it wasn't all that exciting I'm sure, but I had a lot of fun getting to see Ryan and Elizabeth tie the knot! It was really cool actually - they had the same processional and recessional that we did, and one of the songs sung in their wedding was the one that Kyle and I sang together on our first date - a wedding. :)

Quote from Kyle:
"With a baby and a dog, I just don't know how I'm ever going to leave the house. That's just too much cute in one house."
This week has been pretty non-eventful. A lot of this week has been spent with me asleep. I've been so tired that any chance I've gotten, I've gone to bed. If I could sleep 10-11 hours every night, I think I could make it all the way through the day. Nothing else has gotten done, but at least I'm well rested!
I'm dealing with worries and fears that I'm sure every pregnant woman has, especially one that has had a miscarriage before. I continue to pray for God to take my worries. This morning, I think I finally figured out what my worry stems from. I've finally hit the point this week that I couldn't relate to from my last pregnancy. Up to 6 weeks, I could go "Ok, I know this is good because this is different from my last one." I didn't make it this far with the last one, so I have no clue how my body reacts to week 7 of pregnancy. I wake up not sick and worry if that's bad, instead of just being thankful I'm not sick. I keep reminding myself: Most pregnancies end with babies, and that's evident by the children I work with every week. And just because I lost the last one, doesn't mean I'll lose this one. It's definitely a frightening experience over all, but I just have to trust that it's going to be ok, and take it one day at a time.
On a positive note, I'm really ready to start on the nursery! I need to talk to the landlord and see if I can paint, but I'd like to paint the room a light grey, either girl or boy, and I've got some bedding picked out for a girl (cause you know, it's gonna be a girl). I've picked out a crib, and I'll use the antique dresser that's in there already and put a changing pad on top. I'm waiting until we see a heart beat to start on the room, but I'm definitely anxious to begin!
This week's cravings:
Sunny D
Iced Tea
Strawberries
Mexican Food
Dumb Pregnant Moment:
I went to get my nightly glass of water. (seriously, do this EVERY NIGHT.) I got ice and a straw. No water.

Ok, when did I get stupid?
I can't remember ANYTHING to save my life. I pretty much leave one ingredient off of everything I cook, and have to go back to the store. Before we had confirmed I was pregnant, if I did something pregnancy related, Kyle would say "Miiiiiiiind Baaaaaaaby!" to mock me. Now, he's changed to "Baaaaaaby Miiiiiiind!" So if you have to remind me of something 5 times, forgive me. My baby has taken over all of my brain cells.
New Years was this week. It was a pretty lame evening. I'm not a massive drinker by any means, but I love my wine and I freakin love champagne. The sparkling apple cider was good, but just not quite the same. I got a sip of Kyle's champagne at midnight, and then went back to the fake crap.
I had a second ultrasound this week, and this one was much better than the first! The baby popped up on the screen right away this time! I'm measuring a little behind, but that's ok. Baby is just taking it's sweet time growing. With a great ultrasound, we decided to make it facebook official that we are having a baby, as well as calling all of the parents.
Fun week over all! I'm still figuring out how to work without falling asleep on my desk.

This week had a little bit of a scare. I had my first appointment for a sono, even though it was ridiculously early. I've had lots of extra appointments this time because of my miscarriage in October. The sono showed that I had a good thick uterine lining, but we couldn't see a baby. That ordered more blood work, and 24 hours of me being totally freaked out. My numbers were almost tripling, and they have to at least double, so we were in the clear!
This week was pretty easy - I was off work, so I slept like a crazy person, hung out with Jenica who was also off work, went to a Baylor basketball game at the AAC, watched Baylor win a bowl game, and had some good general laziness. Perfect for a pregnant lady!
I was pretty exhausted this week, and STARVING. This week's cravings? Mexican food and gummy bears.
And anything else I can get my hands on. :)

I wrote this a few weeks ago as a review - enjoy, and I'll be posting more weeks as I go!
By the time I hit 4 weeks pregnant, I already knew for 5 days I was knocked up! I started week 4 with a trip to the obgyn to check my levels. My progesterone, which was low when I miscarried, looked great, and my hcg levels were at 146! It has to be at 25 to show up on a home pregnancy test, and most people can't find out until the after they've missed their period that they're pregnant, but my numbers were there and kickin' it.
This week was filled with Christmas, so it was hard to rest as much as I really wanted to. It might've resulted in some emotional meltdowns on my part. (Sorry Kyle.) For the most part, I've felt pretty good except for some serious stomach issues and being exhausted. I also at the end of this week needed to buy maternity jeans. Good gracious. I was so bloated that my pants would NOT button. The bloat will go away, but will be replaced by baby, so I went ahead and just bit the bullet and bought them.
Most. Comfortable. Pants. I've. Ever. Owned.
Seriously. Why do we wear anything else? They also look great! Not mom jeans at all!
The funnies of this week:
1. When we went shopping for maternity jeans, Kyle and I realized we both had left our wedding rings at home. I felt slightly trashy.
2. I might have karate chopped the waiter who tried to take my plate away before I was done.
Kyle quotes of the week:
1. Hey, our neighbor is super skinny and she's had 4 kids...you should find out her secret. (FAIL.)
2. (on seeing my belly bloat one evening) Holy crap! Are you carrying that in a pouch like a marsupial?!
Cravings:
Mexican and fried shrimp
