14 Weeks... Welcome to the Second Trimester!



Baby’s Size: Lemon
How far along: 14 Weeks
Total weight gain: 2 lbs and I am still okay with that.
Sleep: Pretty good. I can’t complain at this point. We were out of town last week so it wasn’t as good being that we weren’t home and in our own comfy bed, but overall it has been pretty good.
Maternity Clothes: Finally broke out the maternity shirts. Just one at this point and mainly so that my stomach wouldn’t stick out. 
Food cravings: Nothing really. I’m pretty boring when it comes to this. I was last time too…   
Food aversions: Nothing other than those dumb burritos at this point.     
Symptoms I HAVE: I’m feeling pretty good. Still some random nausea and I still get tired some afternoons. Exhausted, actually. Other than that though, it’s pretty good.
Stretchmarks: Still no new ones. The old ones are really light. I did notice that my c-section scar has been really dark this past week. I have no idea why.
Doctor’s Appointment:  May 5th. Still waiting to hear on the Panorama. 
Movement: Yep! I had “quickening” this week. I remember it very clearly from Kenzie. Though I didn’t get it with her until closer to 18 weeks. I have heard it can be really early with subsequent pregnancies and that is definitely what it was based on feeling and location. Baby is still really low despite my uterus expanding and beginning to move out of my pelvis. Excited to get actual kicks and jabs soon. That was always one of my favorite things when pregnant with Kenzie.
Belly Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: Nope.
Gender: Should know if the Panorama worked soon and looking to schedule the gender reveal for late May.
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy.
Best moment of the week: Meeting our niece, Evie. She is just precious. I loved snuggling her this weekend. Reminded me of newborn Kenzie. I can’t wait to have another snuggly baby in the house. Kenzie is NOT a snuggler at this point. Though she did want to snuggle some while I was holding Evie. If having a newborn gets me double snuggles, I am all for it. =)
What I’m looking forward to: Getting started on Gender Reveal party planning with Momma soon. 
What I miss: I really wanted a glass of wine this weekend at Easter dinner. Mom Y had a merlot and I soooo wanted some.

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

Honestly, I debated doing a weekly update for this week because we didn't actually check anything off the summer bucket list... but decided to go ahead and do it because we did do some fun stuff. Plus, there are only two more weeks of this (including this one) so anyone that is actually interested can read it if they want. =) This week was fairly low key. Steven was dealing with his shingles diagnosis so we didn't do anything too crazy because the main reason he likely came down with it was because he is so run down and stressed out. Kenzie had school all week. Well, except Monday but on Monday's, we dance. She did great at dance by the way! She goes to dance each week and then spends the next 6 days asking us if she has dance. We made her a calendar for the fridge that lists her activities and dance is on it. We cross off each day so she can count down to dance. Doesn't matter. She still asks. Wishful thinking, I guess. And she is still rocking school. She is doing...

13 Weeks to 13 Miles! OUC Orlando Half Marathon Training: Week 7

This is it. This is officially the middle week of the 13 weeks to 13 miles training plan. It's the odd man out week. It is also the week after our rest week and the week that things really start to pick up speed. We have mostly done overall low mileage weeks up until this point topping out at 13 miles which is overall less than the half marathon... by a measly .1 mile but that mileage was all divvied up over 3 runs so it's definitely not the same. Now we start ramping up and we don't slow down until the week before the race when we essentially taper. This week is an overall 15 miles and by the end, we will top out at 22 weekly miles. Eek. We can do it! I know we can. I hope. Haha! Tuesday Plan: 4 Miles, Actual: 4 Miles Whew! Another run in the books. This one was probably one of the worst ones so far. Not because I didn't run okay. I was actually fine for most of the run. I kept my 1:1 intervals and paced about 13:30 without too many outliers as far as timing goes. ...

Spending Time At The Family Dinner Table

I set a few new goals for this school year. I have big plans. Always. Haha! Anyway, my goal has been to try to add one new recipe per week to our rotation of meals as well as use our slow cooker once a week. So far, we have been doing pretty well and so far, we have enjoyed all of our new meals. We did have a week of set back so far when we had no power after Hurricane Irma so that we didn't make any new meals or anything. The current week was another difficult week as we had to spend money restocking some essentials in our kitchen that we lost due to the power outage so we had to hold off on anything new this week, as well. The main goal of all of this has been to add new recipes but also make sure that we are spending time at the dinner table as a family. This is something we have tried to do since our kids have been old enough to understand eating dinner as a family. BC (Before Children) and even when Kenzie was small, we ate in the living room while watching TV a lot, but as ...
