Symptoms: Overwhelming desire to sell everything I own and by my own ultrasound machine so I can see this little baby every day!
Food cravings: I'm trying not to have any. I went to my nutrition consult last week and told the lady I wanted her to put FEAR into me about eating healthy. We talked for about 45 minutes and I've been doing a pretty dang good job of following her recommendations this week! Did lots of meal prep, eating more fresh, green food and being aware of what I'm eating. Go me!
Food aversions: I've gotten back to being able to eat pretty much everything! Banana's were my final test this week and the passed! There are definitely things that I won't make again for a VERY long time, like taco soup. But otherwise all is well.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!! Haha I SOOOOOOOO called it. I guess I have this mother's intuition thing more than I thought... We're both so excited! When we were on our way to the ultrasound, Dan told me he had two confirmations that morning we were having a girl... I called BS! Dan is SO excited to have a little buddy! The Wouden name will live on...
What I miss: I'm on Cloud Nine this week after finding out we're having a boy and seeing him up close and personal. There's nothing I miss after seeing that!
What I'm loving: MATERNITY PANTS. They have been such a game changer. I literally spent 2.5 hours last Saturday driving all over Cache Valley looking for maternity clothes. It was somewhat of a joke. I ended up finding the best deals and cutest tops at Playdough's Closet and maternity pants at Ross! I when I tried on my first pair of maternity jeans in the Ross dressing room, I legitimately started crying because it was the last place I went and I was convinced I'd never find clothes that fit again. But those jeans fit like butter. I am actually convinced they are the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants jeans...
What I'm looking forward to: PLANNING! Now that we know it's a boy, I feel like I just shifted into full blown nesting mode! I don't want to go to work or do anything productive. Just get ready and bargain hunt to my hearts content for baby boy gear! Also, I guess we are excited to tell our families this weekend ;)
Best Moment this Week: Of course the BIG ultrasound! I LOVED IT. Our baby boy is 11 ounces now, and is a legit little person. The major highlights were watching him yawn, live in the moment, on the screen! Mouth stretching open, mouth closing! It made me want to bawl my eyes out! The little guy did a great job of keeping his legs uncrossed, but hands all up in his face. Which was fine by me, I just wanted to know his gender and that he was healthy! We also got to see his little foot kicking directly at the ultrasound tool and it was adorable/hilarious!
Words of Wisdom: Don't put off getting maternity pants! I'm not sure I'll stop wearing them after pregnancy, they are that comfortable! I also chugged a ton of water and ate a little clementine before our the ultrasound which I heard helps the baby be awake and the ultrasound tech have an easier time seeing things with a full bladder. Worked for us!
