Maternity Clothes?

Well, I am getting to the point where I really need to start wearing maternity clothes now. I have some outfits from when I was pregnant with Saryn but I need more jeans and casual tops.

Most of my shopping for maternity clothes with Saryn was done at Kohl's, Target, Motherhood Maternity & Old Navy. This time around I'm not seeing much of anything in the stores. It seems the stores just don't have much too choose from. Maybe they've decided to go to ordering online instead of having their items in stock at the stores. Normally I don't do so well ordering online but I might just have to give it a go. Although, I haven't been to Target yet - hopefully I'll hit the jackpot there! If anyone has another other places to go to, please let me know!

If Saryn hears anyone talk about a baby she immediately tells them that "mommy baby in tummy" and sometimes even comes over to pull my shirt up to show them. :) Thankfully, I have quick reflexes and no one has been able to "see the baby" yet. :)

No cravings for me yet although I wish I was having some. If anything, nothing really sounds good to me so what to make for meals is getting kind of difficult. When I was pregnant with Saryn I ate what I was craving weither I was hungry or not. After I had Saryn I had a really hard time with what to eat because I was so used to having huge cravings for food. What do you eat if you aren't craving anything?! With this pregnancy I pretty much make myself eat something because I'm hungry. Maybe I won't gain as much weight this time - we'll have to see about that one! :)

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Week 16

Well, things have been relatively quiet over the past month with my pregnancy. We have had some testing done and so far everything with the baby is normal. Phew!

I'm not feeling sick anymore, although I need to make sure I eat and drink enough or I do have a tendency to start gagging. ;) Not pleasant, especially out in public so I always try to keep some food and a beverage handy!!

The baby is supposed to be the size of an apple now. And that means that most of my pants are starting to get a little tight. I'm not quite ready to make that transition into maternity clothes quite yet but I don't think I'll be able to hold off until after Christmas like I had hoped.

Here's the little more info about what's been going on:
