Highlights from our San Fran Trip...

I started this Blog as a way to document our life with our amazing Doodle, Petunia, but, since I've become pregnant, I've realized I want to share more. Mainly because we live 2,500 miles away from our family and childhood friends, and we often get asked to see pictures from trips and events in our lives. I figure these requests will grow increasingly more as our family grows and there are even more milestones and happenings in our lives. We are happy to share and love the opportunity to document our story.

Well...since it will be another week before I post my next pregnancy pictures I thought I would spend a few minutes posting a few pictures from our recent trip to San Francisco. For some reason, after sorting through all of the pictures, I noticed that we are missing a few...makes me wonder if one of us accidentally deleted pictures or worse, something is wrong with my camera. My guess is that we accidentally deleted a few of the pictures...and isn't it just our luck that they happen to be two in particular that I liked and specifically remember taking...1 on the cable car and 1 near the bridge...such a bummer...but life goes on. :)

We stayed at the beautiful and historic Fairmont hotel. I wish I would have taken pictures inside the hotel. It had so much history. My mother-in-law would have loved the history in this hotel...it opened in 1907. Here are pictures from the hotels website http://www.fairmont.com/san-francisco/

Much to our surprise, when we checked in they said they could upgrade our room for free. Really?!?! We were upgraded to a tower room...when we walked into our room we saw this beautiful view...

The Golden Gate Bridge in the Distance

Alcatraz Island

We think this is Nob Hill....

The Coit Tower...we walked to this and took the elevator to the top.

Here are some of the pictures we took around town...

Waterfall at Golden Gate Park

What a view of the city...we were thankful to have beautiful weather while we were there....it was clear and warm everyday.

Mr. in front of the infamous Jerry Garcia house in Haight-Ashbury.

At the painted ladies...Full House anyone???

The iconic Golden Gate Bridge

Fisherman's Wharf...Loved the Clam Chowder Soup and Bread Bowls.

Near Ghirardelli Square...notice Buena Vista in the background...they are known for their Irish Coffee...and you can see the Cable Car too!

15 Weeks...

How far along? 15 weeks

Date picture was taken: Saturday, February 9th, 2013. I'd like to take a quick minute to point out my sweatshirt. It's impossible to read in this picture...but it's my new favorite sweatshirt. Mr. bought it for me for Christmas and since it's quickly becoming quite snug, I decided this might be one of the last times I get to wear it (at least for awhile). It's an Alabama sweatshirt! It's true I became a closet 'Bama Football fan. Roll Tide!

Total weight gain/loss: After spending 5 days in San Francisco, a foodie paradise, I was incredibly scared to get on the scale this week for my appointment. Drum Roll please...I gained 8lbs...eek!

Maternity clothes? Nope, but I am noticing my pants getting a little tight.

Stretch marks? Nope. I am applying Mustela daily which I am hopeful will help prevent stretch marks. I have my fingers crossed.

Sleep: Still sleeping good although I've had a cold this week so it's been a little more difficult for me to get comfortable.

Best moment this week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat. We also had a blast on our trip! We'll post a few pictures soon.

Miss Anything? Well...to be honest...it was hard to be on vacation, enjoying some of the best food in the world, and not being able to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner.

Movement: Not yet. I can't wait until we feel our first kicks!

Food cravings: Mac and cheese and Sprite! It's true, after almost 2 years of not drinking any soda, I am now drinking a soda a day.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...I got a little car sick on our tour bus on our trip...but Mr. did too so I don't think it was pregnancy related. I've had some really bad headaches though...those have made be feel a little sick.

Have you started to show yet: Yes, a little.

Gender: We've had more boy predictions.

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Feeling: Like I need to start working out. All the walking in San Francisco made me realize I am out of shape.

Looking forward to: Our 4D Ultrasound on Valentine's day.

Next Appt: March 6th

Baby is the Size of a: Lemon
