pregnancy week 13 & 14!!!

it's the holidays and these weeks just kind of melded together and we have been sick and busy so i lost track of time.  christmas was a blast!  although we all got sick, it was a very special holiday!  and being able to tell our family was awesome!  we will wait to the new year to tell our friends, but everyone is excited and surprised for a boy!  the family has been asking about names and throwing out some ideas.  we haven't found anything that sticks out at us yet, but we are working on it.  of course his name will have to be cool like bowie's and unusual, but not weird.

i am getting some acid reflux, which i feel like is too early to be getting.  i didn't get it with bowie until i was about half way through my pregnancy.  i still have not gained any weight!  in fact i am still down 2-3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  i am finding that although i don't have any food aversions, often times after cooking i have no interest in eating what i made.  and sleep wins the tiredness vs. hunger battle more times than not.  i also have not had much in the way of cravings, but i have had potato pancakes 3 times this season, so i would say i am enjoying those and am not sure if have had my fill yet.  my dad made them on christmas morning and they are such a treat!

i haven't had a chance to work out much lately.  i blame that on the holidays, company, sickness and being tired.  but i plan on changing this come the new year!  i truly feel that staying active my entire pregnancy with bowie helped me keep me at a healthy weight and bounce back quickly.  now that i know the gender i am starting to think about clothes!  i have been disappointed to not find much in the way of cute boy clothes.  they all seem to be sports related (which is not a thing in our house), preppy or nautical themed.  i do get excited when i find the space themed pj's or onsies, but in general i think the girls clothes are easier to buy for.  i did put an "ask" out to my buy nothing group and i received several gifts of baby boy clothes in all different sizes.  the other night i washed them all and folded and sorted them and separated by size.  luckily my good friend is also due with a boy and she is 2 months ahead of me.  she said she has tons of baby boy clothes that have been passed along to her and is happy to share!
