13 weeks

Hello everyone,

and Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow!!

Weight gain/loss? I'm still just up the 2 pounds

Morning sickness? Nope!
Discomfort? Yes! When I'm sitting and I lean forward my pants push too much into my belly now.
I feel like a have a really low belly.
Also, if I lay or lean on my right side kind of by my hip gets uncomfortable, almost like there is a bubble there...
Stretch marks? Nope!
Maternity clothes? Nope, not yet! I'm excited to be pregnant in the summertime though, I think I'm going to be wearing lots of comfy skirts...
Events/Updates: This is kind of random, but I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that I haven't been the biggest fan of buying/cooking chicken. I don't know if it's the smell of it when it's raw, but even now as I'm typing this, and thinking about it, I'm kind of getting the slightest bit nauseated.
I have of course made chicken, I just have to like prepare myself all day for it. Kind of weird, I know.
I've also been feeling extra lazy, especially in the evenings. I want to go to bed at like 9:30 every night, but we all know that never ends up happening, because I'd rather stay up with my husband to spend a little time with him. 

How to make a chalkboard

I had to do it, I had to jump on the 'make everything into a chalkboard' bandwagon.

It's so clever, I couldn't resist!

I've been seeing DIY chalkboards for like a year now, and my favorite use is the pregnancy tracker idea.

Well back in August, before we moved, my super cute friend/neighbor found out she was pregnant! Yay!! 

I am so happy for her!

I told her we HAD to make this.

It was soooo easy to make!

One thing I regret from when I was pregnant with my son was I didn't take that many pictures throughout the pregnancy, just more towards the end. So I don't really know when I started showing or when I started getting bigger.

We loved this idea because you can write down some info and then stand next to the board in the picture to show off the growing belly as well.

When I get pregnant again, (hopefully in the NEAR future), I am going to do this as well. 

But for now, we'll show off the one we made for my friend.

She ran to Home Depot and picked up a can of chalkboard paint and the board.

It was really long so we cut it in half to the size we wanted.

We then painted the board with the chalkboard paint.

My son loved this part!
