Waiting for Baby V...13 Weeks!

This week has had its ups and downs, but ended really wonderfully with a weekend of Chris and me. We slept in, ate delicious breakfasts, watched TV, went to the mall, bought mums and pumpkins for the porch, cleaned the house (not exactly fun, but fun to have the clean house), put up fall decorations, made chili, made french dip sandwiches, had dinner with good friends, saw "Hotel Transylvania", drank some warm Starbucks drinks, and just relaxed. I love the rain this weekend, and the feeling of cooler weather, which reminds me that fall is just about here... Hooray! 

I've decided to ask all those momma friends out there a question each week about something that I've needed advice on. So, what are the best maternity pants you all have found and why?

And here's the latest news with Baby V!

1. Total weight gain: +7

2. Maternity clothes?: Yes, but mostly by choice. They make me look actually pregnant, not just chubby! :) Wore a dress and a shirt this week, and with cooler temps in the forecast, I'm looking forward to wearing more!

3. Stretch marks?: Nopey

4. Sleep?: Allergies are better, but started tossing and turning a lot at night. Overall, I am feeling more lively and less sleepy.

5. Best moment this week?: Hearing the baby's heartbeat at a mid-week check to satisfy my nerves. 

6. Miss anything?: Coffee, soda, wine this week too... Wah wah...

7. Movement?: No

8. Food cravings?: Warm comfort foods...Chili, pot roast, french dips...And candy still too!

9. Anything make you queasy or sick?: Not really! Hooray!

10. Gender?: Boy or girl...Hmmm...

11. Labor signs?: No

12. Symptoms?: Tired and hungry still...what else is new?

13. Belly button in or out?: In

14. Wedding rings on or off?: On

15. Happy or moody most of the time?: Happy! Getting into the swing of school (maybe), seeing the first signs of fall, and this weekend we got to relax all weekend! Ahhhhh...
16. Looking forward to most?: Doctor's appointment this Friday, with testing and hopefully another ultrasound. AND FALL!!!
