Not a bad week, finishing up with the Lewis' but then Madds got neutered and had his umbilical hernia repaired yesterday, poor guy is having a hard time. Danny got to see a friend from Buffalo Grove, missed you Reed, yesterday but I was too nervous to leave little man after his surgery so I stayed home. On to little Juju bean this week:
Baby is measuring at the size of a Mango this week!
" Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil, and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid."
How far along? 19 weeks and 6 days today.
Maternity clothes? Yes and it may be time to hit the maternity aisle as my normal clothes I was still wearing are getting tighter, it won't be long before it's strictly maternity clothes.
Stretch marks? Still none yet, keep 'em crossed!
Sleep? Still tossing and turning but have had a couple really good nights of sleep lately, hopefully I am getting used to side sleeping.
Best moment this week? The best moment is still feeling little one, we can't wait till Monday when we get more pictures at the ultrasound!
Food cravings: Pretty much the same, I do need some new drinks ideas (without caffeine please).
Movement? The little bubbles and taps are still there.
What I miss? Not much this week, I can tell soon I am going to miss being able to shave my legs in the stall shower :)
What I'm looking forward to: A relaxing weekend and we are starting our registry because we have done a lot of research and I want to make sure to get that stuff on there. We will update after our big Reveal!
Milestones: Half way TOMORROW, can't wait!!

18 weeks
What a wonderful, busy weekend! Friday we spent the evening with friends, the boys golfing and the girls eating (of course :)). Saturday we spent the morning getting some stuff done around the house, picking/setting up Juju's changing table (first piece of baby furniture, yay) and then Aunt Barbara, Uncle Bobby and Cousin Allison were in from Philly so we met them for dinner in Cherry Creek at Hillstones. Sunday morning I woke up feeling great so we took the puppies for a walk and then went to breakfast at The Buff in Boulder with the family again, Danny saw it on the Food Network so we had to go :). After that we walked around the CU campus and then Pearl street exploring Boulder. Afterwards we left to go on home while they went up to Estes Park for a bit before meeting back up for dinner in Boulder. What an experience that was with the early evening lightning storm that came in :)!
PS- If you get a chance, stop by Two Spoons Gelato...YUMMMY!!
Baby is measuring at the size of an Sweet Potato this week!
"Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel their movements"
How far along? 18 weeks and 8 days today.
Maternity clothes? Absolutely am and now I need more.
Stretch marks? Still none yet, keep 'em crossed!
Sleep? I have been doing a lot of tossing in turning because sleeping on my side doesn't come natural.
Best moment this week? The best moment of the week has been feeling little one moving all around, I don't feel it all the time yet but I sure do love when I do!
Food cravings: Back to my Mexican favorites (Chimi's, yumm!) and still icee's.
Movement? The little bubbles and taps have arrived!
What I miss? We did get some sushi, cooked of course, so that's taken care of. Now I just miss sleeping on my tummy.
What I'm looking forward to: Next weeks a/s ultrasound (Monday) and tonight's baseball game with everyone.
Milestones: We are almost at the halfway point and after that the big V-Day!!

Just a couple things
What a long but wonderful weekend in Indiana!! Sarah and Eric's wedding was beautiful, Sarah was gorgeous and the reception was so much fun! During the plane ride out there (Friday the 22nd) I had a cran apple juice and shortly after I started feeling some little taps, YAY! I felt more "taps" sporadically through the weekend and a couple more today, very exciting.
We also got a call from the Midwife today with our 12/16 weeks NTS testing and everything came back wonderfully, nothing at all that they had a concern about! I also switched our A/S ultrasound to Monday the 8th because of some scheduling difficulties and I cannot wait to see our little JuJu bean again :)

17 Weeks
I am going to get back on track with these and since we are leaving at 4am tomorrow for the Eisenberg Wedding (YAY) I figured I better knock it out today! Our fun news for this week is that we have picked out our crib after an hour in the crib/rocker section at Babies R' Us. Danny also decided he loves Monkey's for little ones room :)
Baby is measuring at the size of an Onion this week!
"Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes now feature one-of-a-kind prints."
How far along? 17 weeks and 5 days today.
Maternity clothes? Oh yes and trying to fit into a dress for the Rehersal dinner tomorrow night.
Stretch marks? None yet, keep 'em crossed!
Sleep? I got a new body pillow and this coupled with the Chiro, really seems to be helping.
Best moment this week? I am sure this moment will be over the weekend since we are getting to see so many friends but so far it has been picking out the crib and seeing all the support and love we have with our family and friends!
Food cravings: I may have started something new with mashed potatoes and gravy last night.
Movement? Still hoping this will happen soon but I have been told it's an average of 20 wks and we are still a couple weeks away from that.
What I miss? Sushi more this week, we may have to get some cooked rolls soon.
What I'm looking forward to: The WEDDING :)
Milestones: Almost being at our 18wk, hopefully getting all the NT tests back next week.

16 Weeks - I know, I know :)
So I meant to post this after the Dr's appt on Friday so I had exciting news to tell you but we met with a photographer I am doing a special project with and then got busy with the weekend. We are excited to be getting closer to that 20 wk mark but can't believe it's almost halfway over. We have started baby shopping and are getting very excited about all the supplies.
Baby is measuring at the size of an Avocado this week!
"Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming."
How far along? 16 weeks and 9 days today.
Maternity clothes? Officially in maternity clothes now, I can still fit into my jeans but they just cut into my tummy too much.
Stretch marks? None yet, fingers crossed!
Sleep? The Sciatic pain has gotten much better so sleeping has gotten easier, still some tossing and turning from trying to keep off my tummy.
Best moment this week? 16wk Dr's appt and hearing the little one's strong heartbeat again!
Food cravings: Nothing big this week, my Chiro said I needed to up my protein intake so the Luna protein bars have been my go-to snack but not what I crave.
Movement? Still nothing, I have been told this happens on avg. at the 20th week but I am getting anxious.
What I miss? All our friends and family in the mid-west, this week I have gotten more emotional and am really missing everyone!
What I'm looking forward to: The second week of August for our a/s ultrasound, we can't wait to see out little one again :)
Milestones: Morning sickness seems to be G-O-N-E, this is big big news!!

15 Weeks (late, sorry!)
We had such a crazy week/weekend I completely forgot my weekly post and even though I wrote it I forgot to post our July 4th update (so today you get two- lucky you). We had a wonderful weekend at the Kenny concerts and spending time with Sarah and Eric! So excited for their wedding in just two short weeks!
Baby is measuring at the size of a Naval Orange this week!
"Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet."
How far along? 15 weeks and 9 days today, ha.
Maternity clothes? Officially in maternity clothes now, I can still fit into my jeans but they just cut into my tummy too much.
Stretch marks? None yet, fingers crossed!
Sleep? Sleep has gotten a lot more difficult with the Sciatica nerve pain, I finally headed to the chiropractor last week for some relief.
Best moment this week? Getting to spend lots and lots of time with Eric and Sarah, even baby Juju bean loved that!
Food cravings: I am loving nacho's- I think this started with the ballpark ones :)
Movement? I think last week was a false alarm because nothing yet, but we have a dr's appt on Friday so we get to at least hear the heartbeat again.
What I miss? A restful nights sleep!
What I'm looking forward to: This week when we get to hear little ones heartbeat again.
Milestones: Morning sickness seems to be headed out, I still have little dry heaving fits here and there but very few and far between!

Happy 4th of July
What a weekend for our little JuJu bean, lots of fun and running around. We hope you had a great Holiday as well! Our weekend started out at Coors Field for the Rockies game and fireworks with our neighbors Alex and Diana. Diana is due 8/20 so we were both miserable in the heat, her a lot more so than me, but we did enjoy sno cones and yummy nachos!
Saturday we had lots to do around the house before a birthday BBQ at my Grandma's, Happy Birthday Grammy! We ate wayyyy to much food but juju bean enjoyed the watermelon too much to stop :)
Sunday we did lots more around the house and ran lots of errands, we also bought our first box of diapers and wipes - Danny thought those 108 diapers should last the first month or so...HA! We ended the night seeing Transformers 3 with Alex and Diana, Danny really liked it.
Monday we had an amazing brunch at the Eggshell and then ran some more errands, including exchanging some maternity clothes. Then spent the night hanging out together, until my sciatic nerve got too bad and up to bed I went.
Now on to a busy week, lots of Kenny Chesney and friends (Eric and Sarah get here FRIDAY :))!!
