Now You're My Whole Life

Well, it's week 13 (1/3 of the way there) and to celebrate I got to hear the baby's precious heartbeat. It was beating at 152 BPM and sounds loud and proud! I am also excited because in two weeks we will fingers crossed know what our bundle of joy will be. What's your guess? Highlights: Week 13 How Far Along : 13 weeks today! Total Weight Gain/Loss : 4 lbs Maternity Clothes : Just rocking the Belly Band. I realized last week that the same company makes them for $16 at Target and $32 at boutique stores. Are you joking? I love them. Sleep: the dreams didn't bother me this weekend, but this past week it was all about BUGS. Gross worm bugs. What in the world? Best Moment this week : I loved spending time with my family at my brother's birthday. We enjoyed Ted's Montana Grill. So yummy! I always forget it's there, but glad Daddy brought it up! Mom made an ice cream cake...MADE it! How cool it that? Gender : 2 MORE WEEKS! Hmmm... ...

Highlights: Week 12 How Far Along : 12 weeks today! Total Weight Gain/Loss : 2.5 lbs Maternity Clothes : maternity leggings are killer! I love them. We were shopping this weekend and mom, Erin, and I ran into Motherhood Maternity. They were having a buy one get one 1/2 off on leggings! Since mine were starting to roll down, I grabbed two pairs and don't regret it a bit! I've worn them each day! Sleep: if you don't count losing about 30 minutes a night due to nightmares, then sleep is going pretty well. I can still sleep in any position, but my side feels the best! Best Moment this week : I really enjoyed spending time with the hubby and our families. It was nice to treat Ryan to a nice birthday dinner and dessert! Gender : Hopefully, 5 more weeks until we find out! Food Cravings : Pickles! Pickles! More Pickles. Ryan laughed at me in Publix yesterday and asked, "why don't you just get the value jar"! It was huge, but I went with the...

Happy Sunday! I am linking up for another edition of Sunday Social! What is your ideal way to relax? Hmm! To relax I normally put on my pjs or something comfy and grab my computer or a book to read blogs or pin. MY IDEAL way to relax would be in MX at Iberostar Grand Paraiso where we went for our honeymoon. I would be at the spa getting another one of their amazing massages and relaxing in the heated indoor pool. Yep, that's my IDEAL way! Where is your favorite place to be? Hmm! This will make me sound boring to a lot, but honestly it's in my chair sitting next to my hubby and laughing with him. I love when I am anywhere with him, but it's nice to be relaxed right beside him! Who do you consider your biggest role model? That's super hard, but aside from my amazing mama, I would say some of the amazing leaders in AdvoCare along with the Women of Faith ladies.  I really like Kelly Minter. She's just honest and lives for God! What does yo...

For my hubby. He is without a doubt the smartest accountant (almost CPA - 3/4 done) I know!  Love you Dossinator!

Pregnancy Highlights How Far Along : 11 weeks today! Total Weight Gain/Loss : just a pound now...so weird how I was two pounds last week and this morning I was a pound again. Hmm?!? Maternity Clothes : Nope. Still wearing my regular clothes, but I have the sweet option of a black or nude Be Band now! So awesome to have some wiggle room in my regular clothes! Sleep : I'm sleeping for sure, but the dreams are killer! Super bad nightmares have been haunting me. Two nights ago I dreamed that my mom told me she was terribly sick, had a bad dream that my Nannie was missing, my brother was in one, and last night dreamed the Dr told us it was a boy. The bad part about that is there were tons of people in front of the screen and I couldn't see a thing! Best Moment this week : I would say it had to be when people find out we are expecting and get so excited! I mean perfect strangers that literally break out in smile! Our sweet furniture sales lady was ecstatic whil...

A lot of us don't drink enough water! I am amazed by what we are missing when we don't chug it down.  I hate when I hear people say, I don't like the taste of water! WHAT!?! Are you kidding? There's nothing to taste...get it down!  Why do we need to drink H20? The simple answer is...we need it! The complex answer is...weightloss, metabolism, oxygen, regulates our temperature, glowing skin, and the list goes on!  If that's not enough to convince you...

Pregnancy Highlights How Far Along : 10 weeks today!  Total Weight Gain/Loss: 2 lbs. Maternity Clothes:   Nope. Still wearing my regular clothes! Ran to Target today and got one of these HANDY DANDY inventions! Wouldn't you like to invent something this simple yet so useful? BeBands...can't wait to see if I like it tomorrow! Sleep: I am sleeping comfortably, just wish I could sleep MORE! Best Moment this week : I told my class on Tuesday that I was expecting a baby and wow! The comments that come from 5th graders! I have several little girls that are super excited. One came up, rubbed my belly today, and told me she could tell I had a little bump. HILARIOUS!  Gender: 7 more weeks until we find out! Movement: I can't feel any movement yet, but we sure did see it at our Ultrasound appt. last week. The baby was kicking and waving at us. Baby may have had some hiccups or was just practicing a new dance move! Food Cravings: Pickles are still my top p...

 So, one of our very favorite parts of our church is the way we do groups. Instead of traditional Sunday School, you sign up to be placed into a group of people that are in your same stage of life. Ryan and I love being able to connect with people and grow closer in our walk with God because of it. We have been blessed to have another amazing group!  This weekend we drove up to the North Georgia mountains and had our annual retreat. It is a time that I look forward to each year.  We headed up on Friday evening, swung by and picked up Dossinator from work, and then ate at El Maguey for supper. Adam and Kristen were great navigators, especially when we turned in the correct lane of traffic (right Kristen)! We were all at dinner except Kati and Matt. Kati had a long two days before making her way to the cabin. She brought some of her high school students on an awesome field trip to NC. What a fabulous teacher! We made it to the cabin around 10 and LOVED it! Ka...

I headed back for my "official" appointment on Wednesday! Last week's was to make sure the baby was ok since I had the flu and ran fevers! Well, God is good! Since Ryan took off last week, my sissy got to spend the afternoon with me and see the baby on the big screen! We immediately heard the heartbeat- 182 bpm - and then watched as our little olive started kicking, waving, and doing a couple of moves that looked like hiccups! Tears started streaming out of our eyes! How precious! In just 6 days the sweet baby had grown little arm and leg buds, I saw eyes, and a more defined nose! What a great day! I loved sharing it with Erin! After the doctor's we enjoyed Olive Garden salad and shopping at Ulta! This mama needed some new makeup since I have gotten a tad pale this winter! Check out our before (left pic) and after (right)!

Pregnancy Highlights How Far Along :  9 weeks today!  Total Weight Gain/Loss:   maybe gained 1 lb. Hard to say...fluctuates right now.  Maternity Clothes:   Nope. Still wearing my regular clothes! Although about 2 days ago, this little tummy has a bump it didn't have...it's one you can't get rid of by sucking in. Ryan sees it too. I made him check it out, so I didn't feel so crazy when I saw it.  Sleep:  Doing well...but I could sleep ALL of the time. I do have one SPARK a day. I drink it in the morning, but by 3 pm...I need a NAP. I am not a napper, so this is definitely not something I have been excited about. I have too much to do to nap! :)  Best Moment this week :  We went ahead and shared the news about Baby Doss. I was going to wait until the recommended 12-14 weeks, but when we went to our ultrasound (because of my flu/fever) the doc said the baby looks awesome! He said my risk of losing the baby is less than 3%. Here's t...
