13 weeks or is it 14 weeks?!

Okay there appears to be no straight answer for the the question: "How far along are you?" One book says you go by weeks and days. Example: 13weeks 0 days. Others and the app I use on my phone says you are in your14th week once you are 13 weeks and 1 day.... For ease I've decided to just follow along with the app on my phone. So when it says I am 13 weeks and some odd days I am just going to say I am in my 14th week. OK? OK.

Now that we have that small bit of house keeping out of the way here are my weekly stats!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: I am IN my 14th week

Size of baby: A lemon

Maternity Clothes: I have been wearing my regular pants with the belly band. Over the weekend I got my 1st pair of maternity jeans and they are so much more comfy! Also ordered a few other pairs of pants online and they should be here soon. I think it will be all maternity pants soon but shirts are still regular.

Gender: Don't know yet.

Movement: Too soon but can't wait!

Sleep: It is still my favorite past time! I am ready to crash by 8:30 each night.

What I miss: Real sushi

Cravings: Mexican food, anything orange and pickles. Had a very strong craving for salt and vinegar potato chips last night, didn't give in though.

Symptoms: Still really tired. I am usually out by 8:30 M-Th up at 5:15 and ready for a nap by 12:30 (although since I am at work I do not get to indulge in that) I have had some off and on issues with my sciatica. All other symptoms are pretty much gone :)

Here is a pic of me in my 7th week and in my 11th week

I have been taking pics every 4 weeks. I think we will continue that this one last time then move to every two weeks or maybe weekly, we shall she.

Birthday recap

My birthday was this past weekend. Since I was going to be out of the office on Friday as a special treat, my co-workers decorated my cube on Thursday.


That foil was on about everything! Took awhile to clean up but it was a fun surprise.

That evening I met my friend Senta for dinner. I didn't take a single photo other then this one with me and the giant jar of pickles she got me. It was my 1st baby gift and made me laugh so hard. I do currently love pickles!
Friday I treated my self to a spa day. I got a mani, pedi, hair cut and my eyebrows done. It was so relaxing and wonderful! I followed it up by taking myself to lunch. I am part of the minority that loves to have lunch alone. A good book, a good meal and zero clean up, so nice!

Saturday was my actual birthday. Hubby and I went shopping, he bought me my 1st pair of maternity jeans (much more comfy then the belly band) and a cute charm for my Pandora bracelet. Later that evening we met a bunch of friends for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. Mexican food is a main craving of mine. They spoiled me rotten with some great gifts for me adn a few sweet things for the littlest Lazor. I didn't take a single photo during dinner or of hubby and I. I have to get better about snapping pictures for this blog! I did manage to get a photo of my birthday outfit.
We spent the rest of the evening catching up with everyone at a friend of ours house. It was a fun night but this mama was ready for bed! I just can't hang like I use to! ha

Sunday we spent the day being domestic and indulging in this yummy cake hubby made me for my birthday. It is a little tradition that he makes it every year and it is by far the thing I look forward to the most. Yellow cake and chocolate frosting made by the love of my life..doesn't get better than that!

And just because they were super cute here is a pic of the flowers my family sent me for my birthday. I love the chick!
Over all it was a wonderful birthday weekend and I am so grateful for all the amazing people I have in my life to celebrate with!
Congrats if you made it through that long and possibly very boring post! Have a great week!

We have some news....

Like I said in my "New year, New blog" post one of the reasons for starting to blog again is so we can keep our friends and family up to date on what is new in our lives as well as a journal or scrap book for us. Well I've been hiding some news that has just made updating this new blog impossible! In fact this news is the main reason why I started this new blog.

So here it goes.....




WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!


I am 12 weeks & one day and feeling great! We went to the doctor yesterday morning and got to hear the littlest Lazor's heart beat. The single most beautiful sound I've heard. We made it official and announced to the world last night using the photo below. We received the sweetest responses.

We are SO happy and so grateful to God for this blessing! And can't wait to keep everyone updated on our new adventure.

Story on how we found out to come!
