fun filled weekends

What a special treat!!

My oldest sister came up from Portland to hang with me Thursday-Sunday. 

Our weekend consisted of:

Veggin' out

Watching one too many episodes of Duck Dynasty 

Mediocre mani/pedi, but the massage chair made it worth it!

Listening to my little one's heartbeat, as well as having six vials of blood drawn

Meeting up with her Yogi friends for dinner at the Black Bottle

A trip to Capitol Hill for some very unimpressive shopping

A mid-day movie to watch The Life of Pi

Meeting up with her old Husky girlfriend's for dinner at the Kushibar

A late night excursion to find the space needle..

Which of course resulted in a handstand picture :)

And a special trip to Top Pot to fix a doughnut craving (and no, it wasn't my craving!)

All in all, it was a great weekend and I would have to say I probably experienced more in this one weekend than the entire time I have lived up here! 

Thanks for a good time sister! Love you! 

Oh yes! and how can I forget?! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

It has been entertaining looking at everybody's green fun! 

I think pretty much everyone did the Shamrock Run this weekend and I loved seeing everyone all dressed up! 

This photo is about the extent of my green fun! 

How far along? 16 Weeks 2 days  

Total weight gain: Just one pound!! You could say I was happy at my doctor’s appointment!   

Maternity clothes? Well lets just say.. I think my next trip down to Vancouver is going to call for some shopping in Portland. Sadly, this weekend while trying to get dressed up for all our dinner occasions, I was having trouble finding tops to fit my upper half. I’m trying to hold off until belly is bigger though…

Stretch marks? Not yet, but with the amount of itching I have been having, I know I am stretching and growing!

Sleep: Slept pretty darn good this weekend!  

Best moment this week: Spending some sister time and having her at my doctor’s appointment. Baby’s heartbeat was 155.. pretty consistent still!

Miss Anything? Having a good appetite. I am definitely eating better than I have been my entire pregnancy; however, I just don’t crave things anymore.   

Movement: Nope.. just round ligament pain.

Food cravings: Nope

Anything making you queasy or sick: Certain things here and there.. I have accepted that I probably will feel nauseous occasionally throughout my entire pregnancy and am thankful that it is no longer as intense as it was during my first three months.

Gender: I’ll be setting up the anatomy scan appointment tomorrow!

Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Round ligament pain, lots of itching, on and off nausea, still get the funny taste in my mouth after eating certain things..

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy.. there are some things that for certain would make me happier, but they will come soon enough!

Looking forward to: hopefully another quick work week than girls night at Julies!
