Maternity clothes: Yep!

Stretch marks: Nothing new

Sleep: So far so good

Gender: Not sure yet, date set for January 14 to find out :)

Best moments of the week: Feeling the baby move one night at work last week. My doctor's appt this week. Peanut's heartbeat was 150 and I only gained 1 lb :D Plus setting the date to find out if peanut is a boy or girl!

Looking forward to: January 14.....Christmas is next week :) Looking forward to time with family and watching Meredith enjoy opening her gifts.

What I miss: My energy level :(

Movement: Yep, but only if I'm sitting still. Feels like popcorn popping in my belly. Such an amazing feeling. Forgot how much I missed it....Can't wait to feel lots of kicks and jabs soon :)

Food Cravings: Finally filled my steak craving the other night. Tom took me out to Outback, it was so yummy! Now I want some seafood :)

Anything making you queasy or sick? I get sick pretty much daily anymore.

Labor signs: Not yet!

Symptoms: Morning sickness and my back is starting to ache more now.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy, but stressed. Looking forward to next week when things slow down a bit.

Nursery: Waiting until the 14th to see if we need to buy blue paint :) Plus Meredith's still in there right now. We plan on working on her big girl room after Christmas is over. Even if we have to paint the nursery we probably won't start working on it until February or March anyway. We don't really have that much we would have to change.

Our little avocado :)
