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.

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...

Baseball, Birthdays, Picnics and Paintings

By
Whew! I'm tired. That's nothing unusual though. We had another big weekend. We started our weekly Spring Happenings list on Friday. Initially we planned on doing our Friday plans on Saturday but then Kenzie had a school friend's birthday come up so we decided to make some last minute changes. Friday afternoon Steven came home a bit early and we headed out to UCF to take in a baseball game. We have now hit up football, basketball, and baseball with the kids. They like all sports so far... though Will's first question when we mention a sporting event is always about popcorn. The kid has a popcorn problem. We love watching our kids be able to run around our alma mater's campus. It is just so cool. We love that we get to live close and go back to visit all the time as well as take in various activities and sports on campus. I'm hoping we get them so excited about UCF that they follow in our footsteps one day... though they can choose whatever they want. Except USF...

Just Keep Dancing - Dance Recap 2018

By
I promised I would write up a quick recap of Kenzie's year in dance to document how she did and what it was like. This year she took a Combo 1 Ballet/Jazz class. Last season when we talked about it, she decided to go with jazz rather than tap (in addition to ballet that is taught with both classes) and I think she is so glad that she did. It was her first year with a different teacher as she had the same teacher for Pre-K 1 and 2. Her teacher this year was amazing. So great in fact that we signed up for her Combo 2 class next season and Kenzie is very excited. Kenzie has really grown this year. She loves jazz. Her recital dance this year was jazz and I think she actually found it a fun break from ballet. She likes ballet and I once thought that is where she may want to focus once she finishes the combo classes, but I could see her choosing jazz now. She has another year of combo so we will see what she decides at the end of next season. Her recital was this past weekend and s...
