Happy New Year! Baby Hall #2 will be joining us this year, and although it's still 8 months away, at least we have entered the birth year! Mike and I celebrated New Year's Eve by watching Finding Dory with Harrison and falling asleep before the clock struck midnight #wild -- even though New Years Eve isn't what it used to be for us (dinner, drinks, midnight kisses), I wouldn't change a thing. Plus, I woke up on New Years Day rested and headache free! This year I want to focus on putting family first and spending quality time with my husband, son, and growing baby. This means less time on my phone and knowing that late night emails and calls for work can wait. It's important to me to be less stressed and care for myself and family more, which means adding structure and boundaries where they are needed.
How far along? 8 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yes.. not all the time, but boy are they comfier.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I wish I could squeeze in some naps, but going to bed early helps get some extra hours in.
Best moment(s) this week: Reflecting on 2016 and looking forward to the future. I have always wanted to be a mom of two, and it's so surreal that it's actually happening. When I was younger I always wondered what my life would look like.. boys? girls? both? Now we are close to finding out and life as I know it is pretty darn good.
Miss Anything? Coffee- and it's not that I won't drink it, I'm totally on board with a little caffeine, but the smell of it makes me feel ill.
Movement: Not yet, but looking forward to it!
Food cravings: Nothing, which is a total bummer! I really enjoyed my donut cravings last time around, but for now it's bland food and coke.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Less so this week, but nothing is overly appetizing.
Gender: My bet is still on a girl.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Exhaustion, occasional nausea, heavy breasts, and mood swings.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I cried over a Chipotle burrito.
Looking forward to: Getting my appetite and energy back.. one day right?
