25 weeks!

How far along? 25 weeks
Baby's size: 13.5 inches head to toe :)
Maternity clothes? Yes yes yes. Stomach shows if not, all shirts are now too short! and....just bought the largest bras in Victoria's Secret. not exaggerating. this is not cool!!
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: still can't seem to wake up at a decent hour... but in the opposite way! 5:45 and 6 am are now familiar times to me. goodbye sleep!
Best moment this week: Laine and Jill got to feel her kick while they were home which was fun! I also get to feel her kickboxing sessions regular and wonder what in the world someone that little could be doing in there to be kicking and punching that hard! Started our registry this week, which was fun, exhausting, and overwhelming! (mom had to buy me a "maternity support" in the middle of it, basically a back brace that holds up your stomach. i proudly wore it all around the store, ha!). Seriously looking at cribs, strollers and car seats now, feeling more and more like real parents!!
Movement: yep, lots! she's even started to move some when I'm not completely still. very strong, energetic little one!
Food cravings:  not really. trying to eat a lot of protein bc I'm told it makes you feel better and you need it anyways. Drinking a lot of milk and chocolate milk. mmm!
Anything you loved before that you absolutely cannot eat anymore?: coffee isn't very appetizing unless its something fancy from starbucks
Have you started to show yet: yes, very much so! lots of tummy touching and questions about baby from everyone :) its fun! (but also crazy to see yourself in the mirror and realize you look like that!)
Gender prediction: still girl :) we do have one more sonogram in the next couple weeks, so we can double check then!
Labor Signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? in, but somehow it kinda looks out at times through shirts
Wedding rings on or off? Off! still wearing my substitute ring, even it is tight at times now. yikes.
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy. Mostly very happy and excited but much more tired than i have been. Happy tears threaten often, definitely have my moody moments though!
Weekly Wisdom: This girl is going to be here before we know it!! Everything seems to be coming fast now. Also, she is somehow already so cute!! :)
Milestone: Losing the ability to sleep well. I guess I'm officially pregnant now. :) And little girl is past the 24 week viability mark which we are very excited about! :) Also, first Christmas of our lives with a little one (sort of). So much fun! We definitely got lots of pink stuff!! Thanks family!!

Baby Brock!

How far along? 22 weeks 3 days
Baby's size: 11 inches head to toe :)
Maternity clothes? Yep! Or just comfy clothes or longer shirts
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: can't seem to wake up at a decent hour... But I guess that's normal for me, haha
Best moment this week: Clint and I SAW movement from the outside! It's also now fairly easy to feel if you are patient.
Movement: yep, this girl is very active when I'm still and quiet and seems quite strong already!
Food cravings:  not too bad. Oj, sparkling grape juice, grapefruit
Anything you loved before that you absolutely cannot eat anymore?: don't tend to eat as much of the meat in things as I normally would.
Have you started to show yet: oh yeah! Showed our little girl off at a holiday party in a little black dress. Fun!
Gender prediction: found out it was a girl right before thanksgiving! So excited!
Labor Signs: nope
Belly Button in or out? in, but getting shallower by the day!
Wedding rings on or off? Off! Too nervous about getting them stuck! Wearing a fake in a bigger size, haha, it's awkward when I get compliments on it
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy. Mostly very happy and excited but tired. Happy tears threaten often, definitely have my moody moments though!
Weekly Wisdom: shooting weddings is much more emotional, but makes me pray often that this little one will have a hubby as loving as her daddy is. It begins!!!
Milestone: seeing and feeling big movements, loving it! Bought first decoration for her room and the cutest dress ever at h&m! So much fun!!

We love her so much already!!

Bad Bloggers...

...But we do have a reason.

We now have a wedding film business. And we are doing Apartment Life. And we both have full time jobs. (notice it is 1:06am as I write!)

So we are a little busy. :)

We are loving it though. Not to mention I get to do it all with my wonderful husband - how wonderful! You can see what we've been up to at candlelight-films.com or on our facebook page. It's a blast!

I'm not gonna lie, probably won't be posting again for quite awhile. But thought I'd let you know why! I'll leave you with a fun sneak peek of a recent wedding. Enjoy!
