How Preggo am I?
14 Weeks
Gender
We don't know yet, but we find out in 5 weeks
Maternity Clothes
I have had to be a little more creative because I started work this week so I actually have to look some what presentable but thankfully just hanging out with kids so comfy clothes are still the must! I did do some shopping this past week and scored big at Old Navy sale rack.. so thankful! I really want to buy stuff on sale as much as possible.. I see no point in buying clothes full price.
Movement
No movement.. I have to say I really CAN'T wait! I am counting down the weeks. My Dr. said I should expect movement around week 18 so I'm actually 15 weeks as I write this so only 3 more weeks!!!!
Sleep
I have been sleeping about the same since last week.. but I like I said I started working in the mornings so I have come home every day and taken a nap for about an hour.
What I Miss
I really can't say I miss much this week!
Cravings
So I have decided with Adam's help that my cravings are very spur of the moment. I will see something on TV or think of something and say wow that sounds amazing. So this week.. I had chicken pot pie and lasagna.. both were Divine and very random since it's summer and 80 degrees. I also have eaten Taco Bell.. I know I know.. I'm stopping now! Oh and I drank Chocolate Milk and boy did it taste so good. Adam made me a glass and I told him I don't think I have had chocolate milk since grade school.
Symptoms
I am still having headaches and they come on almost everyday. I called my doctor today and he put me on some medicine that is stronger than Tylenol. My appetite has grown.. I'm hungry all the time. I think the baby is growing because I also have had some pain in my lower abdomen only at night and it really isn't that bad especially when I know it's because he or she is growing. It's a cool feeling. I have had some CRAZY dreams which I have heard is normal. I don't normally remember dreams but these are very real and absolutely insane.
Fears
No fears this week.
Best Moment of the week
Adam and I had a great conversation about the baby and have begun to sort out how we are feeling, things we need to discuss, decisions that need to be made, I really enjoyed the conversation. Also I realized thanks to our church bulletin that Christmas the baby will be here in 6 months! Goodness
Sorry no picture this week. Will for sure post next week!

Pregnancy Diaries- 13 weeks
How Preggo am I?
13 weeks
Gender
We don't know yet, but we find out in 6 WEEKS!!!!!
Total Weight Gain
I don't know and I don't want to know. The doctor didn't say anything about my weight so I assume I'm doing ok!
Maternity Clothes
Still wearing pretty much all dresses most of time and still in non-maternity shirts. I think shopping is going to be in my future!!!!
Movement
No movement as of yet, well I don't think. Call me crazy but I think I felt something last night.. but who knows. I can't wait to feel the baby ... it is the one thing I am most looking forward to!
Sleep
I have been sleeping a little better lately thank you JESUS!!!
What I Miss
I really can't say I miss much this week!
Cravings
No real cravings. I have been cooking some foods my mom cooked while I was growing up. I have to say I am looking forward to when my mom visits cause I wants some home cooking!!!!
Symptoms
I have had some headaches this week which is normal. Other than that everything has been good. I got a cold/cough that was pretty bad this week, but Doc put me on some cough medicine and I'm feeling better. My appetite has become more regular so to speak.. well because the nausea is gone I don't have to snack all the time which is SO nice.
Fears
No fears this week. Still don't know if the baby has become a reality to me or Adam. I think when we find out what it is it will become more real!
Best Moment of the week
By far hearing the heart beat! It took the doctor some time to find it but as soon as he went to the left side there it was! So fast and so awesome. I could of listened to that all day!
And just for your amusement here is Eliah at 13 weeks! His favorite spot!

Pregnancy Diaries- 12 weeks
I am going to try and use this format I saw on another blog hopefully this will help focus me! Sorry for the lengthy post! Enjoy!
How Preggo am I?
12 Weeks
Gender
We don't know yet, but we are planning on finding out
Total Weight Gain
I don't know and I don't want to know. I am struggling with this alot. There is alot of anxiety and fear... so I'm going to avoid it as much as possible.
Maternity Clothes
Well since I don't really leave our house.. I spend most of my time in lounge pants and shirts.. none are maternity. When I go out I mostly wear dresses they are the most comfortable right now and I did buy a pair of maternity shorts and they are AWESOME. I plan on getting one more pair and living in them this summer. As far as tops.. I'm wearing all normal tops as of now.
movement
No movement as of yet. It's a little early but Adam and I were talking about it last night and we both think this will be a pretty cool thing once it happens.
Sleep
I have had a really hard time sleeping. I think this mostly has to do with my schedule during the day. I am trying to stay up during the day and if that happens then I sleep pretty good at night. I am getting up any where from 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom. Last night I couldn't cool down even with a fan blowing directly on me so I went to the basement and I slept ok.
What I miss
Not having to think about all that I can and can't eat for safety reasons. I miss deli meats which I didn't really eat before but I do now. I thought I would miss caffeine but I really have not. There are mornings where I can't seem to wake up and I think.. wow wish I could have coffee.. but other than that.. not so much.
Cravings
In the beginning I wanted any thing lemon or lime. I don't have anything specific.. I guess I crave anything I don't have to make.. I really have had no desire to cook at all. I really wish we could have someone come and cook for us. There was a week or so all I wanted was a hamburger. That has passed. Oh and I can't stand coffee and chocolate and vegetables. All very not me because I really like all 3 of those.
Symptoms
Well the nausea has stopped.. PRAISE the LORD! I'm happy to say I never threw up! The past 2 weeks I have had a headache almost every day and I am constantly going to the bathroom. My nails are growing really fast.. which is new to me.. I don't have nails. Oh and I have more hair on my stomach.. I know weird. No one tells you that happens.
Fears
Weight gain is a fear.. it is a major insecurity of mine.. I'm trying to overcome it especially because I refuse to pass the insecurity down to my child. Fear of the unknown.. we really don't know what our future is going to hold where we are going to live.. what state we will be living in .. so I guess adding a newborn into that has added some fear. But I have to say there is also excitement in all of it as well!
Best Moment of the week
Just being in my 12th week has been really exciting this week. It is nice to start my 3rd month.

Changes in our Life....
Well here is my attempt to get back into blogging.. I am really determined to do weekly posts will see if I can do it! A couple of things going on in Casa Bayer.. First, Adam's application for the Navy. Most of you know but maybe a few don't about 2 years ago Adam started the application process to become a chaplain in the US Navy. Well there is ALOT that has gone on but we are nearing the end. He only has a handful of things that still need to happen but it all looks like a go. When we entered this process we said our goal was for him to be active duty by his 30th birthday and well.. I think it's going to happen. I don't really want to give to much details on here since this blog isn't private so I will keep you posted as much as I can. Please continue to pray that all of this will happen in the Lord's timing and Adam and I will continue to have patience and peace that only comes from Him!
Another update that most of you know but I will announce it again .. We are Having A BABY!!!! I'm due Dec. 21! Things have been going well.. I am 12 weeks pregnant today! So thankful to be starting my 3rd month.. So as for the first 11 weeks.. here is an update.
We found out we were pregnant I was 5 weeks. We went to our first doctor's appointment at 6 weeks and go to see the little tadpole.. that's what it looked like. I felt nauseous since I found out.. it pretty much put me on the couch. I know a lot of women have it a lot worse for I did so I am thankful.. but I am really glad it is over. I was sleeping well for the first couple of weeks but then started going to the bathroom ALL the time. The best part of these weeks was telling people we were pregnant. As for Adam and I we were really overwhelmed and in shock. It has been hard for me to process this is happening but it all has come about in God's perfect timing and I can completely see that it is the perfect time! Sorry I don't have any pictures from these weeks but for future posts there will be plenty of pics. Until next time!

Introducing Eliah Bayer
Eliah came into our lives back in May of 2010. We knew we wanted to get a dog but couldn't decide on what breed. For my birthday in April Adam said I could pick what breed we got! I was super excited and we both knew exactly what I would choose... A Golden Retriever. After much research we found a breeder on craigslist and well... this is what got...
This picture is from the night we brought him home. Boy has he changed!!!!! He has taught me so much, how impatient and selfish I am. He has also shown me so much joy and laughter! He has completely become part of our family. Adam would never say this but he LOVES him and Eliah LOVES Adam.. it's really cute! Here are some more pictures sorry for the picture overload but I'm a proud dog owner!
