12 Weeks with Baby #2

By


Baby’s Size: Plum
How far along: 12 Weeks
Total weight gain: Two pounds. Eek! I’m actually not worried. One, because it would be normal to gain this weight at this point and two… because I think it is actually not a true 2 pounds yet. We just got back from our cruise and I expect to either stay here for quite some time (based on how I did with Kenzie) and the fact that now I will get back to my normal activities such as chasing Kenzie around and taking walks.
Sleep: It’s okay I guess. Off and on, good and bad. Depends on the day.   
Maternity Clothes: I’m pretty much fully on maternity bottoms now or yoga pants. Still no maternity tops. They would all be too big at this point.
Food cravings: Nothing major right now.  
Food aversions: Luckily, with my morning sickness starting to dissipate I am having less aversions.    
Symptoms I HAVE: Off and on morning sickness, though the actual vomiting has stopped for the most part. Thank goodness. I am still exhausted almost every afternoon. I think I am starting to get the dreaded second trimester headaches. Though I was also having some allergy issues last week so it could have been more related to that.
Stretchmarks: No new ones yet.
Doctor’s Appointment: Last week for our NT scan. It didn’t work. Stubborn baby wouldn’t turn the right way. The plus is that my doctor now does the Panorama test so it wasn’t as necessary to have it. The baby looked good and measured right on track though. Heartbeat was 171. So… wives tale related to that says girl. We shall see. Soon too. The Panorama will give us the sex of the baby. We are going to have a gender reveal party so it will be a few weeks after the results that I find out, but it will still be before the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. Next one scheduled for Cinco de Mayo. Everyone else gets a margarita, I get to be poked and prodded by the doctor. I’ll take it.
Movement: Not yet.
Belly Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: We will know soon. =)
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Mostly happy but I am finding that I am easily frustrated. Poor Kenzie. I find that I with a lower frustration level, I worry about how short my temper can get. I try to keep it together but hormones can be a strong thing.   
Best moment of the week: Our cruise was phenomenal. We had a blast. I hope we don’t have to wait 2 years more before we get to go again. Pretty soon the kids will be old enough to go too.
What I’m looking forward to: Getting back in to my normal routine. Being gone for 3 days is difficult with a 20 month old. It gets her out of her usual routine which takes a while to fix.  

What I miss: Having energy. Or at least having more energy.

The Doc is In!

By
Today we celebrated THREE with Kenzie! We had her official 3rd birthday party. She doesn't actually turn 3 until Thursday, but her birthday today with friends and family was a definite success. The most adorable Doc there is I admit, I'm a bit crazy. I start planning birthday parties months in advance. I have been planning Will's first for months already and his isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Anyway, Kenzie and I talked about it a few months ago and she elected to choose a Doc McStuffins themed birthday party this year. I will post another day about the decorations that I created for this party, but for now... a photo dump in honor of our little Doc turning 3. Our spread was pretty yummy, if I do say so myself. Everything from "Stuffy's Dragon Tails" (fruit kabobs) to "Squeakers Fishy Friends" (goldfish) and "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doc Away" (applesauce packets and cups). Will spent most of his tim...

New State Parks, Beaches, Movies, and Friend Time

By
Another weekend has been put in the books for the Young Household. This weekend was actually a bit less crazy than some of our others, I think but still filled with fun and some new things. We started Friday afternoon when Steven was able to come home an hour or so early. We started getting ready for our big Saturday plans and then made pizza and sat down to watch a movie. We love this Friday tradition. We try to do it at least a couple times a month. We used to order pizza but when we started watching our finances closer, we determined that it was better for us to make pizza either homemade or frozen (and the kids like frozen pizza as much as pizza from a restaurant right now so we will continue to capitalize on that for a while... Will loves homemade but Kenzie is in a current anti-homemade stage because she is weird). Anyway, we made a frozen pizza and some cheesy bread. Then we sat down together to watch Inside Out. We picked it up at the library last week and never had a chance ...

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

By
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...
