Alex's First Birthday Party

Yesterday i got to take a visit to Jefferson County to see little Mr. Alex for his first birthday. So hard to believe its been a year already. So that was a good time cause we got to visit with Kel and Court and Alex and Tay. Good times. Just a couple pictures of us from yesterday...

17 Weeks

It's Christmas week! Our Last sane, quiet, Christmas alone...and it was a great one. we got to see all the family and had a great time at all our visits...lots of fun and just a really nice Christmas over all. I'm attaching the 17 week pic along with a couple from Christmas time. Hope everyone had as merry of one as we did! Todd got me this really cute ornament too that i'll attach...it was called 'Living on Baby Time' from the Keepsake collection at Hallmark. He has his moments :D

16 Weeks

4 MONTHS ON THE DOT! lovin it :D so far so good and no serious issues, so i can't complain. the belly didnt seem to grow too much from last week but its been a big week of changes for me anyway. i can definitely feel something going on just as far as growing inside...just the little growing pains here and there, the bigger awareness of actually having a belly there, and most importantly the appetite coming back! The energy came back about a week ago...and then just yesterday i was sitting at home and started eating everything in sight. it was insane.

Today i went out hall shopping with Mum S. for the baby shower and we ended up finding a great place, but now may have to reconsider based on size (surprisingly the room requires more than we may have!!! never thought we'd have that issue). Regardless, i think we're sticking with the 25th for the date for the Seitz side of the family...my side is still yet to be determined. One big thing that happened today was at lunch. While sitting at eat n park with my dear MIL i ordered a burger with fries and the salad bar and ATE IT ALL. That hasn't happened to me in EVER. So yes the appetite is here...hopefully to stay for a little at least...

Some other fun happenings of week 15-16 were Tara's baby shower and my visit to Johnstown to see one of my other preggo buddies Kells Bells. I'm attaching a few pictures, one of Tara (31 weeks)and I, then one of me and Kel (13 weeks) from the same day, then my official week 16 pic. Enjoy!

15 Weeks

Week 15 has brought some energy back...which has been pretty nice. no more falling asleep during the first period of the Pens games. dont get me wrong still get those random nights where i pass out around 7, but they're not a given every night like before. still not really having any big appetite at dinner time but at least able to eat some now...so thats good...everyone says the second trimester is the honeymoon period...so i'm excited about it. i love that i'm actually showing a real belly now instead of just gut. makes it more fun to wear the tighter clothes to work...also very excited to be pregnant during the holidays, just makes it all that much more exciting!

14 Weeks

ok so I suck...its been over 2 weeks since i posted last so i wont even waste your time talking and just post the pictures. i will say...its been a busy two weeks. work has been very trying lately and during week 13 i had a little scare involing some cramping and bleeding that pushed me enough to make me go to the doctor. I got to get some updated sonograms which was awesome...got to see the little stinker...also got to make sure everything was ok so that was great. Here's the little guy (no not definite on sex and WONT BE FINDING OUT so give it up all you family out there!)

Look how cute his little butt is...his arm is on the bottom...i just love him...so adorable...

Here's the belly shot from week 14...definitely gettin a little bigger...

3rd appt.

we had our third doc appt today...all is well...quickest one we've had yet. in and out in no time. its getting easier and easier to find the heartbeat so thats fun. I cant wait til i can start to feel the little stinker. I've gained 3 lbs since my last visit...only 2 lbs over all...but i'm right on track. he said i'm growing perfectly and right where i should be! Next appt is January 6th, then very shortly after we'll have our 18 week sonogram!
