I'm a little late with the meal plan today since I skipped my planning last night so I could scoop up my baby and bring her to bed with me since she was just coughing up a storm in her crib. I know it probably doesn't really help her any physically at all to sleep with me, but it makes me feel better at least. Hoping and praying that she can sleep soundly tonight in her own bed, minus the coughing.

15 Weeks
How Far Along: 15 Weeks
Size of baby: the size of an apple
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still down from original pregnancy weight by a couple pounds
Maternity Clothes: Not yet
Gender: It's a BOY!!!
Movement: Have not felt any baby movement yet. It was 20 weeks with Bailey.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well
What I miss: Nothing
Cravings: Everything and anything... I just want to eat everything! Everything I see looks like the best food I've ever seen. :)
Symptoms: Nothing really.
Best Moment this week: Talking to Bailey today about what to name her baby brother. Her first answer was "Baby Brother", then "Tico" (character from Dora), and then "Boots" (Dora's monkey friend). Then finding out that someone else from church, Nicki (Tyler McClure's wife, for those of you that know him), is pregnant! That is FIVE babies due this summer for our church! :)

Meal Plan Monday
A few notes before I get into the plan for the week....
#1 - A facebook friend of mine posted the link to this food blog, All Kinds of Yumm, and I am in love with everything I have seen on it, which leads me to #2.
#2 - When not pregnant, in normal life, I am a food lover. I mean, look at me, my body is evidence! :) But during this pregnancy, every single food item I see.... I GOTTA have it! It's probably a good thing we are on an extremely limited budget right now, cause otherwise, I think I'd be gaining 100 pounds while I am pregnant!
Here we go....
Monday
Classic Spaghetti
Green Beans
Garlic Bread
Tuesday
Anthony gone to a meeting, Bailey and I will be eating leftovers, sandwiches, cereal, or some other effortless food!
Wednesday
Hot Dogs
Chips
Thursday
Chicken Fried Rice
Friday
Marlboro Man Sandwich
Saturday
Velveeta Spicy Sausage Dip -- I know this doesn't really qualify for a dinner, but please refer to #2 above.... I have some ground sausage I want to use, and I am pregnant. Don't judge me! :)

14 Weeks
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 14 Weeks
Size of baby: the size of a lemon
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Not sure about the overall pregnancy, but I'm down 5 pounds from the last time I was at the doctor, from that stomach bug I had.
Maternity Clothes: Not yet
Gender: It's a BOY!!!
Movement: Have not felt any baby movement yet. It was 20 weeks with Bailey.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well right now, especially during naps... I love naps!
What I miss: Nothing
Cravings: Still digging PB&J sandwiches, and late last week I just HAD to have some Chef Boyardee Spaghetti & Meatballs, so I ran down the road to Dollar General to get a can for me and Bailey to share for lunch!
Symptoms: Nothing really.
Best Moment this week: The ultrasound today.... so incredible. Loved watching the baby move and seeing his beating heart and all the parts of his body. We could see the two hemispheres of the brain... just amazing! It was such a relief to actually see him, since at this stage of the pregnancy there's really no physical evidence of a healthy baby. So excited to be having a healthy little boy.
