21 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By


Baby’s Size: Carrot
How far along: 21 Weeks
Total weight gain: Still hanging out with my 7 lbs. I sometimes go up to 8 and sometimes drop back down to 7. I figure it is between 7 and 8 at this point. I just found my journal with Kenzie and at this point (well technically at 20 weeks, 4 days) I was up 10 lbs so I think I am still doing fairly well.
Sleep:  It’s been okay. I have noticed that my sciatic nerve pain is better at night now so I am able to sleep on my left more often. I am having difficulty sleeping on my back though. Not a big deal but I tend to roll that way at night quite often and it wakes me up after a few minutes.
Maternity Clothes: Yep.
Food cravings: I managed to get those cheese fries with ranch, A1, and bacon (plus jalopenos) last week. It was awesome! I want more though.  
Symptoms I HAVE: Still having major MAJOR heartburn. To the point that I have almost considered something stronger than Tums. I have decided to just deal with it usually though because it has been more common at night and if I can fall asleep then I am fine. Sciatic nerve pain is actually worse but the new issue is that it shows up all day long except when I lay on my left side at night. Opposite of what it used to be. I have been pretty tired too lately.  
Stretchmarks:  No new ones.
Doctor’s Appointment:  Not for another 5 weeks…
Movement:  All the time! He still tends to move more at night (which isn’t surprising). I keep trying to have Steven feel him but his patience isn’t very high. This is about the time that he first felt Kenzie. I think he might have finally felt a kick a couple of nights ago but he always convinces himself that he didn’t feel it. 
Belly Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Still boy. LOL  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Feeling pretty happy but stressed out a bit. Dealing with potty training Kenzie is difficult but she seems ready and I really would like to get this done before Will arrives so that we do not have 2 in diapers all day.
Best moment of the week: Visiting Fort Mantanzas with the family (including Grandma and Grandaddy). Kenzie LOVED the beach. Definitely our kid. She had a blast running up and down the wide beach and laughed hysterically every time we lifted her above a wave. Everything was well and good until she got too much sand in her reef shoes. Then she lost it. Funny how sometimes things just turn them off. The kid never wears shoes at home, walks on any and everything but so help everyone if she barely brushes some seaweed on the beach with her toes. You would have thought the world was ending.
What I’m looking forward to: Father’s Day. Steven will actually be in South Florida visiting his friend but I plan to give him his gift early and I am super excited about it.    

What I miss: Not having heartburn and not having random sciatic nerve pain.

Eight is Great!

By
Today Kenzie is EIGHT! It's so crazy. We have an 8 year old. Only two years away from double digits. A third grader. A girl that is quickly becoming a preteen. There is only a year left (technically) until that is officially the stage we are in. Though I have to say... she acts more and more like an actual preteen every day of her life. She's too much. We often joke that she is 8 going on 28, but in all honesty, she is an old soul and often acts much older than her years. At 8-years-old, Kenzie... - Is still the friendliest kid I know. She loves with her whole heart. She hates to hurt anyone's feelings. The downside is that her feelings get hit hard when someone isn't nice to her. We have had to deal with that on occasion, especially in the last year when we had a run in with a girl that Kenzie thought was her friend but she ended up being not really nice to Kenzie in the long run. We learned as parents that the "mean girl" stage starts early. Kenzie...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 11)

By
It's the final countdown! We officially have about 2 weeks left until the end of "summer" and therefore the end of our bucket list. We managed to check something off the list this week. We have just a couple left. There are two things that I do not believe we will be able to do, but I think getting everything but two things done is pretty awesome. We also added on quite a few fun things that I didn't actually add to the list and still have a few more fun things planned over the next 2 weeks. We will see how it all goes. Anyway, this week has been fun. Tiring. But fun. This was Kenzie's first week of VPK. And let me tell you... she rocked it. She is LOVING it. I know we are only 1 week in but I am still so glad to see her loving school again and doing so well already. I'm not going to recap her first day or most of her first week, but if you are interested, you can check out the post HERE . She did decide to try to wear every one of her new outfits this week....

Friday Favorites: Summer Bucket List Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons. This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks. We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to ...
