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.

Eight is Great!

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...

Just Keep Dancing - Dance Recap 2018

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...

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. ...
