Baby Jones - Week 16 baby | bump | jones | week 16 | whenflowersfall

How far along? 16 weeks

Total weight gain: I still don't really know. We still don't have a battery in our scales.

Maternity clothes? Nope, although the need for them now is starting to get a bit desperate.

Stretch marks? I have a few little new ones on the tops of my arms of all places. 

Best moment this week: Finally finding a middle name that fits with our choice of boys name and surname.

Miss anything? Sleeping a whole night without having to pee. 

Movement: Not that I can be certain of.

Food cravings: Cocktail sausages. Actually, now I really want some. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Liam had done the washing up and left all the grime in the bottom of the sink. Add that to the dirty dishwater he left in the washing up bowl, the smell made me chuck. It wasn't pleasant. 

Gender: ????

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Bleeding gums when I'm brushing my teeth, incredibly dry lips & scalp still and I have been feeling twinges/flutters, but I wouldn't count them as movements just yet. 

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody, and I can't say I'm enjoying it. I'm loving the short periods of good moods I'm getting. 

Looking forward to: Christmasssss!!!

Baby Jones - Week 15

Howdy!

This was meant to be posted on Friday, but I gave myself a week off from youtube and blogging kind of slipped away from me too. After Liam's accident last Monday and him having to take a week off work, I felt pretty stressed and I definitely feel better for the little break. I just need to find my motivation again to get back into this. 

Anywhooo, I will post my week 16 update on Friday as normal. :)

How far along? 15 Weeks

Total weight gain: I don't actually know. We've had to take the battery out of our scales for something else. :/

Maternity clothes? No new ones.

Stretch marks? A few pre-pregnancy ones on the tops of my thighs are much more visible. Joy. 

Best moment this week: Attending my '16' week midwife appointment and listening to the heartbeat on her doppler. At least I know what I here on mine is definitely baby now. 

Miss anything? Feeling energetic and motivated. I constantly feel like a tubs, lazy blob. 

Movement: I thought maybe I had felt flutters this week. It felt more like someone was stroking my insides. (ooh-er) Since then I haven't really felt anything so now I'm not so sure. 

Food cravings: Steak, burgers and anything meaty. I think I actually had some form of beef for at least three days in a row this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not so much. Still smells every now and then. I think my random days of sickness are finally coming to an end.

Gender: No idea. I'm getting really impatient now and I just want to start calling bub by their name! 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Breathlessness, cravings, stuffy sinuses and incredibly dry skin. My poor lips have been chapped all week and nothing is touching it. I've also noticed my scalp is really dry too. Poop.

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I'd like to say happy, but I have found myself snapping a lot. If I'm feeling incredibly moody, I tend to like being on my own. I'd rather not inflict it on anyone else. 

Looking forward to: Christmas! There isn't really anything before that now to look forward to. The 20 week scan seems like miles away!

Baby Jones - Week 14 2nd trimester | baby | bump | jones | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 14 | whenflowersfall

Hey beauts, 

I cannot believe how much better I'm feeling this week. It's amazing!  I've even managed to keep my house reasonably clean this week. It's a pure miracle. If you want to watch this weeks pregnancy vlog, just click the link below! 

How far along? 14 weeks  

Total weight gain: I've gained another pound this week, but I'm still hovering one below pre-pregnancy weight. I reckon I'll have tipped over that by this time next week. Belly measurement  wise, I've finally grown half a cm. I know it's not much, but it's the first growth I've actually seen in weeks! 

Maternity clothes? Leggings still, but I'm thinking I'm finally going to have to buy some maternity jeans. Absolutely none of mine fit anymore. I can just about get them up, but there is no way I'd ever get them done up!  

Stretch marks? I'd like to say nope, although I have noticed a few on the tops of my thighs are stronger in colour. I'm quite prone to the nasties so I have a funny feeling that this is just the beginning. 

Best moment this week: Feeling so much better. I just thought it was all pretend that you feel better in the 2nd trimester, but man do I feel good. 

Miss anything? I'm still missing all the food/drink I can't have. I think Christmas is going to be really difficult for me this year.  Christmas is probably the only time of year I normally let myself get absolutely trollied. 

Movement: Still too early, but if the sounds I hear on my doppler are anything to go by, this peanut is a real fidget. 

Food cravings: I've wanted steak all week and I finally had one on Wednesday! It was well cooked, but it was soooo good! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just bad smells still. 

Gender: No clue, but I have had two dreams this week that said baby is a girly.  

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Very sleepy around 4 o'clock, but apart from that I'm feeling better. I can finally get back to emails/blog posts/youtube/housework! Yay! 

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: I've still been really moody. Mainly in the mornings, I do not like mornings.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender, but that's weeks away yet.

Baby Jones - Week 13 baby | bump | jones | pregnancy | pregnant | update | week 13 | whenflowersfall

Hey beauts, 

this post was meant to go live last Friday, but I totally blanked and ended up going to bed before I had posted it. So, it may be a little late, but here it is anyway. 

How far along? 13 weeks  

Total weight gain: One more pound one. I'm roughly albs from my heaviest still so I'm pretty happy at that, although I am happy to be gaining finally too. My wise, my measurements have stayed the same.

Maternity clothes? Still only my leggings, but if I'm honest, I'm pretty much living in PJ bottoms whenever I'm at home. 

Stretch marks? Nope.

Best moment this week: THE SCAN! I was dated 4 days behind which makes complete sense according to my dates. 

Miss anything? I've been missing wine this week. I never thought I would, but man, I'd love a glass right now.  

Movement: Still too early.

Food cravings: Olives, olives, olives. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just bad smells still. 

Gender: No idea. 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Very slight nausea still. Lower backache.

Belly button in or out? In

Engagement ring on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody. I've been snapping at Liam all week. :/

Looking forward to: My energy coming back.

Christmas in the Jones Household about me | bauble | cards | christmas | decorations | gifts | holiday | jones | personal | presents | tinsel | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    I thought I'd share a few photos of my home, all dressed up ready for Christmas. I've spent most of the day shopping and sorting out the prezzies, I'm finally in the festive spirit! Being our first Christmas in our own home, Liam and I haven't got many decs, we haven't got a tree either, we thought it best seeing as Luna is still her mischievous self and we're pretty sure we'd be spending most of our time fixing it. How do you guys cope with naughty pets at Christmas?

Hope you're all having a good Christmas time. 

I'm getting excited now!
