So I have finally decided to start the blog back so that family and friends could "be in the know" about the baby progress! For those of you that do not know, Zach and I moved back to Dothan from Birmingham around August of 2010. So far, we are LOVING it, being back close to friends/family and the BEACH and lake! Zach manages Westside Auto Service Center (if you need a car fixed call him!) and works his tail off, of course. I am working at Covenant United Methodist Church in the Children's Ministry and feel truly blessed! Anywho, this is a BIG year for our Saliba family. David and Elizabeth Crockett will be married in June and Laura will be marrying Russell Ellis in August (so excited to have new family members)! On the other family side, I have another cousin getting married in May! Zach and I also surprised everyone (and ourselves!) and announced that we will be having a baby in September!! I am 15 weeks today and will update the blog weekly with updates. I stole this from other websites that other pregnant ladies use:
How Far Along? 15 weeks exactly :)
Total Weight Gained? As of today it looks like 5 lbs, we will see what the Dr. says next week. According to my Tailor though, "I got fat!"
Maternity Clothes- I am just now starting to wear my Belly Band (for those of you that do not know, it is a band that allows you to wear pre-pregnancy pants unbuttoned). I have bought a few pants, but am hoping to keep buying clothes to a minimum and making my looser dresses work throughout summer.
Sleep- For some reason, sleep has been difficult lately. I am a stomach or back sleeper and they tell you that needs to stop in Second Trimester. I have a big pillow to sleep with but it does not help. I toss and turn all night, poor Zach!
Movement- Not yet :( Sometimes I think it might be movement, but then I think it is probably gas.
Food Craving- FRUIT!! I love sweet fruit right now! Also, wheatables crackers, I HAVE to have. Of course, I keep a jar of pickles in the fridge too :)
Food Aversions- So far so good. Nothing has grossed me out yet!
Morning Sickness- I was truly blessed to only have a little nausea every now and then, nothing major.
Gender- Three weeks until we find out, but I have had two dreams of a girl and I am CONVINCED it is a girl :)
Labor Signs- none, thank goodness.
Belly Button- Is slowly looking like it wants to pop out a little, not sure how I feel about this.
What I Miss- LONG RUNS!! working out to my maximum and having the energy to do it. Fitting into my old clothes comfortably. Tanning without getting fried after putting on loads of sunscreen.
What I Am Looking Forward To- My belly starting to poke out so that I look pregnant and not just like I have eaten about 2 dozen doughnuts!
Weekly Wisdom- When this is the first grandchild your parents have, they will care more about your belly and how your taking care of it and less about how you actually are...haha I love it :)
Milestones- Baby is moving like crazy and sucking her thumb (how stinking cute!) and is about the size of a large apple! I will post pictures of the bump soon, it is not very big anyways. Not much to look at right now!!
