Merry Christmas Eve!

It's Christmas Eve!!! Jeremy and I will be having a yummy roast for dinner, opening up our ornaments to each other, and snuggling up to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation! Fun times!!

Merry Christmas from the Shermans!

Maternity clothes? Yes.

Sleep? Been sleeping great.

Best moment this week? Seeing our baby at the ultrasound! Bunsie was folded in half the entire time again, so we might have to go back so they can get some more pictures. I don't mind going back. :) 

Worst moment this week? None... good week!

Food cravings? Orange juice! Can't live without it! Yummmmm.

Food aversions? Nope.

Gender? ??? 

Belly button in or out? Out.

How am I feeling? Other than very large, pretty good.

What I'm looking forward to? Christmas celebrations with our wonderful families! It's so crazy to think we'll have a 7 month old baby next Christmas! 

Our Christmas Tree 2013!

Here's our huuuuge Christmas tree! We finally got around to decorating it! It's so fun reminiscing while hanging ornaments. :)

Merry Christmas!

I'm halfway to meeting the baby! Woo hoo!!! 

How big is the peanut? The size of a banana!... About 10 inches (head to heel) and 8 1/2 ounces

Maternity clothes? Yes. I need to get some more, especially pants!

Sleep? Sleeping wonderfully! I loooove sleeping! 

Best moment this week? See below. :) 

Worst moment this week? None. Things are going pretty well in this second trimester.

Food cravings? Everything it seems. :-/

Food aversions? Nope.

Gender? ??? Dreamt this week I was pushing a little blue eyed, brown-haired baby girl in a shopping cart. I've also dreamt little one was a boy though. :) 

Belly button in or out? Outie. 

What I miss? Having a back that doesn't ache every night. It's so worth it though!

Movement? YES!!! Finally! This was the best part about this week! I felt tiny tapping-like feelings earlier in the week but I didn't know what it was for sure. Throughout the week they started getting a bit stronger and I am positive it's my little babe moving. It feels like pokes coming from the inside. It's so exciting! 

How am I feeling? Itchy, achy, and tired, but oh soooo happy. :) 

What I'm looking forward to? We have our 3D ultrasound tomorrow!!! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!!

Leinies and Packers!

This past weekend we had some friends, Stef and Gabe, from Arizona visit! It was great catching up with them. They wanted a true Wisconsin experience on their visit, and with the weather we had, I think they got it! It was a cooooold one this weekend!

On Saturday, we went to the Leinenkugel's Brewery Tour. I've ALWAYS wanted to go there, and I didn't get to try any samples! It was still really cool hearing the history of Leinies beer. I recommend going if you haven't yet. It was only one dollar and you get 5 beer samples!

Then on Sunday, we went the Packers game. We all froze, but it was so much fun! It was an intense game and our Pack won! WOO HOO!

19 weeks

How big is the peanut? 6 inches (head to rump) and about 8 1/2 ounces

Maternity clothes? Yep.

Sleep? Better this week, and I've only been getting up one time to go pee!

Best moment this week? Seeing the babe at our appointment! He or she was literally folded in half with feet on forehead! It's kind of hard to see, but check out the pic below!

Worst moment this week? No bad moments, just super busy at work!

Food cravings? Same old, same old.

Food aversions? None.

Gender? After seeing how flexible the baby was at our appointment, I'm thinking I'm having a mini-me little girl. My coworker said her son was always bent in half like that though. We shall see! 

Belly button in or out? Out.

What I miss? Sleeping on my belly!

Movement? Nope, but I found out I have an anterior placenta (placenta in the front instead of the back). That means it might take me a little longer to feel anything. Booo.

How am I feeling? Feeling good, still tired all the time.

What I'm looking forward to? Putting up our tree this weekend!

Best moment this week? Thanksgiving break!! We had great times with some wonderful people! We sure had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Movement? Still not feeling little Sherman move.
