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.

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Making the Most of Spring Break

By
This is the first year that "Spring Break" actually seemed like a thing instead of just another random week. I think that is because Kenzie is in school 4 days a week this year so it is more like "real" school rather than the 2 days a week that was preschool last year. So, I wanted to try to make Spring Break fun and something different instead of just spending it like another week. We were limited in what we could do because Steven has been super busy at work and couldn't take any additional time off. We already have his days planned out for the entire year so that he can take a few days here and there for specific things but keep a good balance of days in case something comes up and we need them. So, I had to come up with some things that we don't typically do every day but that were easy enough for me to handle two small children during and that were inexpensive/free. Side note: We turned in all the paperwork to enroll Will in preschool next year this l...

This is Seven... and-a-half

By
Today is Kenzie's half birthday! We kind of have a thing about half birthdays around here. We don't do anything major, but we like to mark their appearance because it is fun for the kids to know that they are officially halfway to their next birthday. It's a bit bittersweet for me though. As is the usual, here is a brief update on all things Kenzie. - She is still really tall. She is somewhere around 53.5 inches or so. I honestly don't know for sure. They are so hard to measure on my own. It's about 2.5 inches taller than 6 months ago so I think that could be about right. Either way, most of her height remains in her legs. - She is so amazing at math. Seriously, this kid got all her Daddy's math brains. Thankfully. Her teacher made the comment at parent teacher conference that she was so excited to see her best math student this year is a girl. She just figures out math problems super easily. She also loves it. She asks us to play math games with her o...
