12 Weeks!

It's a Lime...but there is no Corona :)   Today marks the start of week 12 for the Hennigan baby.  He/She is the size of a lime! 

This weekend was super busy!  My parents came over and Mike & my dad started all of the renovations on the guest room which will from here on out be referred to as "The Nursery"!  (CRAZY!)  The paneling is down and drywall is already going up.  When they removed some of the paneling we found out there was some minor water damage under both windows, so that put a slight delay on things, but he's been working on fixing that and we'll be completely drywalled in no time! 

My mom already ordered the bedding set (Peter Rabbit from Pottery Barn Kids) and the valences and crib sheet have already arrived.  They are absolutely adorable!  We have decided to paint the room light blue ("Blue Tradition" to be exact) even though we haven't found out boy or girl yet.  It's going to be the perfect complement to the bedding set and the white furniture we are choosing! 

I can't believe we have made it to week 12!!!!!  I am heading to my evaluation this afternoon for PT which will begin next Monday 2 days a week.  Aqua Therapy.  Cannot wait! 

Here are some pics of my ever-growing figure.  I'll do another post later with renovation photos, but here's a sneak peak!

Demolition + New Slippers = Happy Momma!

I wish I could say I was pushing it out...FATTY!

11 Weeks!

Well, we are now entering the 11th week.  I'm really excited about this because I am starting my Aqua therapy in the next few days and will finally (hopefully) be relieved of some of this pain and discomfort I have been having in my back and hips! 

At 11 weeks the chicken nugget is the size of a fig!  His/her hands can open and close into fists and he/she is moving around like crazy, although I cannot feel that yet.  It's pretty amazing that just a few weeks ago he/she was only the size of a poppy seed.  That's a lot of growin' happening in there :)

I'm way less nauseous then I was, so that's awesome.  Still experiencing some food aversions, but it's definitely getting better. 

Here are this weeks photo updates for your viewing pleasure!  Should I really be showing this much already???  Yikes!  Also notice that we have started clearing out the guest room and have paint samples taped all over the place!  In the coming weeks you will get to see the paneling come down, dry wall go up and paint come into the picture!  Very exciting!



Room is still a little messy, but very empty compared to last week!

10 weeks, 6 days - August 15th, 2011



10 weeks and counting

10 Weeks?!?  WOW!  Some days I feel like it is flying by and there is no way we are already at the 10 week mark, then other days I seriously feel like time is moving at the speed of stop.  On a whole, I suppose I could say I am feeling better then I have been.  I'm still extremely exhausted and have been having headaches, but at least the nausea is gone for the most part and I am back to eating more normally. 

We had our Heart Beat appointment on Friday and the nurse told us it was a little early and we may not be able to hear it yet, but the Chicken Nugget made him/herself known with a nice clear heart beat!  We were so excited!!! 

I am going to be starting Aqua theripy soon.  I have been having quite a bit of back pain.  I think it's because of how low I am carrying.  With my fusion and my hip problems, they think this will be a huge relief for me.  I just hope I start sleeping better with less tossing and turning. 

We go back to the doctors on August 29th for a regular check up and then we will find out when our first ultrasound is.  I'm so ready for it!  I want to see my little nugget up close and personal! 

Here are some photos for you to enjoy of my fatty self in my Motherhood outfit!
