14 Weeks... Welcome to the Second Trimester!

By


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.

Friday Favorites - Double Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorites is actually a double edition. That's because last Tuesday we had a baby! Needless to say, I was sort of busy on Friday as we prepared to be discharged from the hospital after my repeat c-section. I never got around to writing this post. I was exhausted by the time we made it home and yet still had to deal with having a toddler (that I missed so much I just wanted to sit and hold her... if she would ever allow that sort of thing to happen.) I just never got around to posting. This is going to be a pic heavy post because I have so many moments and things I love from the past two weeks. So, I figure we should start with one of my favorite moments of the last two weeks. One of my favorite moments ever. It ranks right on up there with the birth of Kenzie. That's right... the birth of Will. I will spare you the picture of Will right as he was removed from his home for the last 9 months (it's a bit graphic) and just leave you with these: Hang

Happy Fourth of July!!! (A Few Days Late...)

By
There is no way I was going to get around to posting this blog prior to now. It has been a crazy week or so since my birthday. I couldn't let the holiday pass (too much) without recapping it. =) I barely remember July 4th last year. I know that we didn't do anything. Kenzie was almost a year old, had a bed time that I didn't want to mess up, and we were afraid she might be scared of the fireworks so we sat at home, did our usual and went to bed while our neighbors were still lighting fireworks off. We spent the night playing every American's favorite game... "Firework or gunshot?" In our neck of the woods... you never can tell. Might be someone having a bit of target practice. Regardless, this year we decided to throw caution to the wind and attempt to enjoy some actual fireworks. Every year there is a big to do down at Lake Eola. We have been before (or at least gotten pretty close because we had some friends that lived downtown and we could see the
