14 Weeks...Hello Second Trimester!

It has been a pretty low key week for the Lude Family.  Joe and I have both been working a good bit.  Sandy from work took the first jab at thinking we are having a boy since I "popped" early. I work with mostly guys, and even they seem to be having a little fun with this whole pregnancy thing too! Hence...my new sticker....

The weather has been really hot so we've spent a lot of our free time hiding out in the AC watching some shows.  The marching band has been practicing at the high school across the street so we have been checking them out a little bit when we are out walking the dogs (I secretly wouldn't mind if Baby Lude is a little bit of a band geek like his/her mama!).  On one of our walks a little girl from down the street waved hi as we walked by.  She then apparently ran inside to let her Mom know the new neighbor girl from down the street "looked like she was becoming pregnant!".  We know this because her Mom stopped by (a lil curious) when walking her dog to ask Joe privately if her daughter's observation was true haha.  The little girl had offered up her baby sitting services when Joe was at their Super Bowl party...so hopefully the offer still stands in a couple years :)

We started our baby registry.  Who knew there was so much stuff for babies?!  We are really going to try to keep it simple and are hoping everything being gender neutral helps.  But the sheer amount of the same things (pack and plays for example) is insane!! Then you have to try to figure out which one you want/which best meets your needs.  So we'll see how it goes.  Hopefully I can get some insight from all of my fellow mommies.  Joe and I also got some primer up in the nursery, which used to be the playroom of the previous homeowners' daughters.  It had a pink, purple, yellow, and green wall. Next step is to get some paint on the walls.  Then Joe has a master plan to try out his carpentry skills by installing some molding. Wish him luck!

Our helpers are never very far away

14 Weeks

Thanks hubby for catching me at a good angle while I practiced perfect form ;) Yoga fit!! I can still "hide" the bump a little bit...we'll see how much longer that lasts.

New for baby this week? Sucking their thumb, wiggling their toes, kidneys are making urine (yes I officially have a baby peeing inside of me...kinda gross!), growing lanugo (peach fuzz hair to keep them warm)
Sleep? Still enjoying not waking up in the middle of the night to pee!!
Best moment this week? Starting on the nursery.
Miss Anything? Not really.
Food cravings? Pickles. Taco Dip.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope....and now that I am officially in the second trimester hopefully I am in the clear.
Have you started to show yet? Same lil baby bump.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.  And oddly loose with this weather being so hot?
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy.
Looking forward to? Hopefully going to the Dublin Irish Festival, Ohio State Fair, or both :)
