Now You're My Whole Life

How far along?  15 weeks and 3 days Baby: The baby is as big as a navel orange!   * Baby is making lots of movements even though I can't feel them because the joints and limbs can all move now.  *Baby's proportions are becoming even more normal since the legs now outmeasure the arms.  *The avg. baby at 15 weeks weighs 2.5 oz and measures 4 inches.  Total weight gain:   4 lbs Maternity clothes?  I have been loving my maternity leggings. If you are pregnant, do yourself a favor and get some. They are the most. comfortable. article. of. clothing. EVER!  Stretch marks?  Nope Sleep: I have slept much better the last few nights and wake up feeling more energy than the last 3 months. This makes me happy!  Best moment this week:  We know the gender of our sweet baby! On Wednesday we had our appointment, but it was hard for the ultrasound tech to see. We had all gone in and were so bummed when we weren't able t...

How far along?  14 weeks on Tuesday! My energy is up a bit more and feeling more like myself! Thank God! Our sweet baby is the size of a lemon!  Total weight gain:   2.5 lbs Maternity clothes? Just wearing non-fitted tops and my stretchy jeans. It seems that is doing the trick for now. I am hoping with all of the tunics and longer tops out there that will be what I can wear in the winter time. I was pregnant with Vann in the Spring and Summer, so all of my maternity clothes are for that season.  Stretch marks?  Nope Sleep:  I find myself waking up at least once at night and it takes me about 15-20 min to fall back asleep. My sis is a L&D nurse and works nightshifts, so I can typically text her and chat for a bit!  Best moment this week:  Ryan and I had our 6 year anniversary this weekend! We are headed to celebrate soon.  Miss anything?  I have noticed that I started sleeping on my belly and back a lot more...

Time seems to be flying by with this sweet pregnancy. Baby Doss 2.0 is growing and is the size of a sweet GA peach this week!  How far along?  13 weeks today! Now I am officially into the 2nd trimester which is crazy...I feel like even though the 1st trimester was awful symptoms wise, it went so fast! Total weight gain:   2 lbs, but it feels like 20!  Maternity clothes? I've used the BeBand a couple of times, but I haven't dug into the maternity clothes in storage yet.  Stretch marks?  Nope Sleep: I could sleep a lot! On Saturday night I got in bed at 9:22 which is not typical for me! I normally try to get in bed around 10 pm and doze off a bit after that. I wake up several times through the night to drink water or get Vann back to sleep if he wakes up and needs me.  Best moment this week:  On Sunday, Vann started rubbing my tummy while we were sitting on the couch. He leaned in and started whispering to the baby. Then...

We are pretty excited to announce some big news about our family!  Baby Doss 2.0 is almost 13 weeks along! Big Brother V is excited and so are we! April 12, 2016 is our official due date!

Yesterday was 35 weeks! HOLY COW! Vann will be here soon! How Far Along: 35 weeks & 2 Days   Sleep: I am doing well. I have gotten used to waking up every so often to roll myself over. I CAN'T WAIT to sleep on my tummy and back again! This sleeping on my side is for the birds...the way my belly pulls on my back can't be good! Poor Ryan has not been sleeping well...I hate when I wake up and he's still awake. I can fall asleep so quick and easy, and he has to lay there forever. It makes me feel awful for him and even more terrible that I can fall right back into dreamland.    Best Moment This Week: There have been lots! I loved that Ryan was off for a long 4 day weekend! The 4th was fun! Dad came over and painted more of Vann's room. We enjoyed celebrating my Papa's 87th birthday and having cake and ice cream that Nannie made.  Ryan and I had a movie date as well since it was icky weather!      {Not done yet, but closer...

How Far Along: 34 weeks and 2 days!  Sleep: It's going! Rolling over is a CHORE to say the least, and GOODNESS GRACIOUS I miss sleeping on my back. I will wake up and catch myself and quickly roll back on to my side. Thank goodness I have only done it twice. To say I am tired is an understatement! Thank God for Spark. I HATE naps, but am forcing myself to take a break and enjoy one here or there...I hear when the baby gets here naps aren't much of an option! Best Moment This Week: Since I am writing for two weeks (33 and 34) I have a couple of GREAT things that happened!  1. On June 22nd, Greg and Alexis were married. It was a gorgeous ceremony, reception, and the weather couldn't have been better. There were so many things to do our heads were spinning, but it all came together and they are husband and wife. I have been praying for God's hand in every part of their lives! :) Congrats you two lovebirds! 2. Thursday was a great day! I went to a...
