i have been trying to think of something i would love to have after beckham is born as a gift for going through hell, i mean this amazing experience of growing a lil person in my belly. i remember seeing these charm bracelets at nordstrom when i used to work there & loved them!
they are simple & really cute! best news is they are only $24.00 each & can be found on nordstroms website. they are the alex & ani wire bangles.

19 WEEKS!

diEt PLaN
the life of pregnancy is joyous! i have been feeling lil flutters in my tummy all weekend & it makes me so happy to know our lil man is moving around. it is crazy to think i am at my 1/2 way point soon & will be almost done with all these body changes. although, i love my baby growing, my body has taken a serious beating already...especially in the boob area! holy cow i didnt realize how big these things could get but yet, apparently they are only bound to get BIGGER! oh joy to the world! thank goodness for winter coming soon so i can cover these honkers up! -i am definitely not the "flaunt it, if you got it" kinda girl.
my diet so far has been great...i actually couldnt complain about that too much. i am lucky that beckham is not a fan of sweets & it doesnt matter what kind of sweetness it is, i will be running to the bathroom within minutes of it being in my tummy. i love, love cucumbers right now & lemon water. my go to snack has been carrot sticks, weight watchers string cheese ((only 50 calories)) & cucumbers, & sometimes with almonds...but i know i am lacking in protein for my diet. i also have a hard time eating small meals every couple hours to keep baby & me happy. sometimes i let so much time go by without eating that i am a shaky mess & want to cry because my hormones are off the charts & crying i guess makes the most sense ((i am 5, i know)) soooo...stumbling across this cute blog the other day was a huge answer to my growing baby that is probably missing out on all the things he wishes he was getting...
the link to the blog is: The Hollenback Bus they are a super cute couple & she is pregnant with a lil boy too right now & about 2 weeks further along than i am! check out their blog for cute/fun stories! i posted the meal plan on my page so i could have it as a quick reference for my meal plan...it would work well even if you are not preggers too & just looking to increase you protein intake.

from the moment i found out i was pregnant i have been dreaming of the day that we would welcome that lil baby to our home. i so look forward to that soooo much!!
yesterday jake & i took a trip to the doctors office for my check up. i was so excited to hear the heartbeat & have the doctor tell us that it sounds really strong. knowing that my baby is healthy is always so comforting to hear. ((not that i am constantly worrying...just nice to hear)) before leaving our appointment jake asked if we could find out what we are having. our doctor informed us that our next appt will be when we have a full ultrasound to measure the baby, find out the sex, & we will get a DVD to show the rest of our family BUT our wonderful doctor told us he would take a look for us to find out what we are having!
i was sooooo beyond nervous for some reason to find out what our lil one is...when they were checking my heart rate the nurse had to keep redoing it because it was "a lil high" why was i nervous?!?! because this whole time i have been banking on a sweet baby boy & shoot we have a 50/50 chance of a boy or a girl! now was the time to really find out if our baby i have been calling a boy was actually a boy & happily i can announce that my feelings were right! we will be welcoming lil baby beckham kleiman to our family in februrary & i am so beyond thrilled to be his momma.
of course driving home from the doctors office i began to cry looking at jake & realizing all of this is really happening...we are being blessed with a lil child of god & i couldnt be more happy about being his mom!
friday we announced to our family the gender of our baby with a lil party! check out these fun pictures!
