Random + 16 Weeks!

Just some random things this week – no organized “Top 5″ or anything like that – it’s just been a random week and so, in turn, you get a random Friday.

Hubby and I out to dinner for our anniversary. I know you’ve already heard about this TWICE this week, but oh well, you get to hear about it again!

The official video for “Like Jesus Does” by Eric Church was released this week! I actually love that he chose to play the acoustic version for the video and keep it so simple. The song doesn’t need anything else! It was our first dance song and our anniversary was (obviously) on Monday… is this a coincidence? I think not!

Lunch with old friends. I was SO SO SO excited that some of my old friends from Richmond were in town for a comedy festival and so I got to see them! I really miss doing comedy with these people – they are HILARIOUS.

SO glad y’all are loving the amazing giveaway that Carrie is hosting on the blog this week. Be sure to check it out!

16 week pregnancy update! still being molly - maternity style: black pencil skirt, black wedges, black and white polka dot tank, white blazer How far along: 16 weeks!
How big is baby: An avocado! (5 inches)
Weight gain: I think five pounds? Maybe six.
Sleeping: Still having bizarre nightmares and getting up a billion times in the middle of the night. Literally a billion.
Food cravings: Crushed ice. Weird? Yes.
Food aversions: No chocolate and plain rice kind of makes me want to gag. Why? No idea.
Symptoms: Nausea (still) and I’m still SO SLEEPY.
Doctor’s appointment: In two weeks!
Movement: Still not sure if it’s movement or what…
Best moment of the week: Playing baby the soundtrack to LOST.
What I’m looking forward to: I really just can’t wait till I feel this baby kick for sure!
What I did / Got for baby: One of John’s coworkers never had kids and so she is loving having an excuse to buy baby stuff. So far she’s bought us FIVE pairs of ADORABLE baby shoes and boots. Seriously. These things are cute.
What I learned this week: Baby is growing like CRAZY!
Prayer requests: My poor husband is sick so I’m actually praying for him to feel better (and also praying that I don’t catch what he has).

Happy Friday!

Hodge Podge + 12 Weeks

41 Replies

I’m in Greenville, SC for work right now and I’m kind of in one of those modes where I’m just needing a brain dump. You know? So today’s post is a bit of a hodge podge with a 12 week pregnancy update thrown in there at the end.

1. I love our dogs. Like, I LOVE our dogs. I know, I know, everyone loves their dogs. But it’s almost absurd how much I love our dogs. I mean just look at them:

tater-belly puppy-snuggles

2. I’m so glad y’all LOVED our pregnancy announcement video. We LOVED making it, so hearing your feedback that you LOVED watching it makes my heart happy.

3. Meet Kenye!

Okay, you’ve probably already met Kenye because you read this blog and I’ve t alked about her before, but she is awesome. And it can’t be said enough.

Facebook / Twitter / Blog / Instagram

Kenye is the happiest when she is spending quality time with her hubby and family. (Me too!!) And she hopes her blog inspires others to feel FREE and FUN in their personal style.

Kenye CLEARLY lives that out because this girl is ALWAYS looking so put together and oh so classy. Seriously! Check her out.

4. Meet Niki!

I know, you’ve met Niki before, too. But again, this girl is TOO awesome for words. I’ve LOVED becoming close bloggy buddies with Niki. I really hope we get to meet in real life one day because I just KNOW that we’d be instant friends.

For real.

Twitter / Facebook / Instagram / Pinterest / Bloglovin

Niki is the happiest when she is cuddling with her dogs. (Can you SEE why I love this girl?! I mean, refer to point #1!) And she hopes her blog inspires people! I know she inspires me – so, I’d say mission accomplished, Niki!

5. 12 Week Pregnancy Update!

still being molly: 12 Week Maternity Style - mint jeans, denim jacket, patterned blouse, emerald scarf, red TOMS

No, this blog isn’t going to become SATURATED with pregnancy stuff, but I do love that I can use it as my pregnancy journal, if you will. Mmkay? Mmkay!

So, there.

Here’s my current pregnancy update:

How far along: 12 weeks
How big is baby: A key lime! 1.5 inches
Weight gain: Honestly, not sure. I have been bad about weighing myself. I should probably do that.
Sleeping: Okay. I honestly have a lot of weird cramping at night (normal according to doctor) and I have to get up like every few hours to go to the bathroom. So, not well, right now.
Food cravings: Salty, but especially CHEESE FRIES. I want cheese fries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Food aversions: This hurts my heart to say, but Chick-fil-a. I LOVE CFilA, and suddenly the smell or thought of it makes me nauseous.
Symptoms: Nausea is finally starting to get a little better, still not great, but certainly WAY better than before. Headaches. Sciatica. A bit of dizziness. But most of all, I’m so tired. All the time. All I want to do is sleep. It’s awful.
Doctor’s appointment: Not for another two weeks.
Movement: None yet. I hear that sometimes you can feel “flutters” at this point, but I often wonder if it’s “flutters” or just gas. TMI? haha!
Gender / Names: We aren’t going to find out the gender and we’re keeping our names a secret until baby is born. We have a girl name, but we’re still debating on boy names.
Best moment of the week: Telling the world we’re expecting! It’s been SO hard to keep the secret, it feels SO good to be able to tell people.
What I’m looking forward to: My next ultrasound at 20 weeks. I know that’s like eight weeks from now, but I just can’t wait to see baby again.
What I did / Got for baby: Bought my first pairs of maternity jeans at a consignment store in town. AWESOME! There is some former pregnant lady who is my EXACT size so I snagged a pair of Gap and Old Navy maternity jeans for like $22 total! Woop!
What I learned this week: As terrified of labor as I am, I’m really thinking that I want to try and do this thing drug free (no epidural). I obviously have PLENTY of time to consider this and will probably change my mind as soon as I go into labor, but I’m trying to mentally prepare myself.
Prayer requests: Energy. I really need some energy. I’m trying everything I can, but I NEED some energy. My sleep is awful and I’m so tired all the time, it’s making the days very difficult. It’s hard to explain, but I just don’t feel like myself. Also continued prayer for the health and growth of the baby. I know this is cliche as can be, but I just want this baby to be strong and healthy when it’s born.

That’s all for now. What hodge podge of things are on YOUR mind this week?

Yes, my hair is long. Yes, these were taken before I got my hurr cut.

It’s true. You’re not seeing things. I am wearing my glitter loafers and leather jacket for a third day in a row. And yes, that is my favorite Ooh Baby Designs scarf again.

These items have been on me in repeat in real life and now, in blog life, too. They’re some of the most versatile pieces I own and I kind of feel like a 10-year-old at Chuck-E-Cheese I’m having so much fun remixing them.

Did that last sentence makes sense? In my head it did, but now that I’ve gone back and re-read it, it doesn’t totally makes sense. But I’m going to leave it for bits and giggles.

Anywho.

Also, did anyone watch Pete & Pete growing up? I loved that show! Nickelodeon, FTW! (FTW=For the win). Random, I know, but I’m just trying to tie it all back to the title of this blog post for no particular reason at all.

I’m just saying, I’d say three Fall / Winter 2012-13 closet staples for any girl should be:

A leather jacket
A soft, comfy, colorful infinity scarf
And a sweet pair of glitter loafers

Yes siree, Bob.

Feel free to agree to disagree. You do your thing and I’ll do mine. Right? Right.

What three (or more) closet staples are you putting on repeat this year?
