Dad's birthday and can you guess the sex of the baby???

This past weekend we went to visit my parents. Sunday was a very special day for us, my daddy's birthday! My dad is such an amazing father, he is loving and funny, caring and protective, he is strong, he is smart, he is my hero. I know it seems corny but I love my dad to pieces and I hope that his birthday was just perfect.
We met my parents and one of my brothers at Zio's for lunch Saturday. Then it was back to mom and dads, the guys watched football and the girls went Christmas shopping. I was finally able to get a good start on my Christmas shopping. I wish I could have more done already but thank the lordy I even got what I did this weekend.
Saturday night we watched our Sooner's play ball and they won (which has not been happening quite as much as we would like this year).
Sunday we went to church and then spent the day with Dad. We watched the Cowboys play and they also won WOOHOO! That was a great gift to my dad, they are his all time favorite NFL team.
We had dinner, presents and even got to take a family picture :) Cooper wasn't exactly cooperating but oh well it was worth a try.
Its hard to believe that next year there will be not just one but two new babies in our family pictures. My sis in law is only 6 weeks ahead of me on her pregnancy. :)
As far as my pregnancy is going, things are good. I'm 14 weeks on Thanksgiving and I'm feeling like I'm 20 weeks along. This baby is showing WAY faster than Cooper did. I'm not sure if its because I've been pregnant before or what? Either way I'm a whole lot bigger early on than I was with him. I've even attached a little comparison below.
My ribs started hurting yesterday. This was an ongoing issue I had during my pregnancy with Coop. They hurt like hell and there was nothing I could do about it. Well here we go again, they have already started to ache and I know from experience that it won't stop until the baby is out.
I'm not feeling very nauseous anymore, thank goodness. That was TERRIBLE!
As far as symptoms, I'm craving FOOD FOOD and more FOOD! I'm hungry constantly its ridiculous. I'm not too terribly irritable, but I'm feeling bloated and full (ha probably because I'm eating a ton). No maternity clothes, even though my bump seems low still I'm not having to band my jeans or wear a bella band yet. I did have to wear it with Cooper right around this time so I'm wondering if it will happen soon or if this baby is just higher than he was in general?
We are hoping that at the next appointment we can get some better insight to what I'm having. Our doctor took an educated guess at our last appointment but it was still so early that things weren't developed enough. So fingers crossed for some news next week.
Here is a pic of me today.
Ok so does anyone want to guess the sex?

Here are a few things I will tell you about this pregnancy...

1. Carrying.. slightly higher than my last so far, but who knows what next week will bring.
2. Cravings... Well just about every single thing, but I guess I would say salty over sweet. Most the time.
3. Breasts... Have been extremely swollen since super early and are not getting any less pain free.
4. Morning sickness... Yes from about 5 wks - 11-1/2 weeks
5. Headaches... Yes Migraines

I'm not really having any other major symptoms or signs. These are the only out of ordinary things for me.

Take a guess???????????


Oh and last but not least, I'm posting that video of Cooper I took like 2 months ago. Its just so dang cute. Enjoy :)

Did you have morning sickness with Cooper? I had a lot of morning sickness during my pregnancy with Abby. It lasted from about six weeks - eighteen weeks. (off and on) I've heard that more morning sickness links to a girl! Of course, it's an old wives tale I'm sure. But I'm hoping it's a girl for ya!!!
