19 Weeks Pregnant

By


Baby’s Size: Mango
How far along: 19 Weeks
Total weight gain: Now I am moving between 4 and 5 pounds. I found a weight gain calculator by Nemours (I think) where you put your pre-pregnancy weight, current weight, and whether you are carrying multiples in then it tells you whether you are within the range that you should have gained at that point based on all those factors. 4 pounds puts me one pound under the range it suggests. 5 pounds puts me right in it, so I am happy either way. It suggests that I gain 15-25 pounds this pregnancy which is what the doc recommended so I am doing okay I think.     
Sleep: It’s off and on okay. I’m being hit a bit by the pregnancy insomnia period. I will wake up at night (sometimes with Kenzie) and have trouble going back to sleep. I am also starting to have the weird pregnancy dreams.  
Maternity Clothes: Yep. Though my shirt in today’s picture is actually not maternity. It is still long enough to cover the belly.   
Food cravings: As usual, it changes. Nothing at the moment.
Food aversions: Not too much right now.         
Symptoms I HAVE: Still having major heartburn. Ugh. I hate heartburn. I took a nap two or three times this past long weekend. It was great. The sciatic nerve pain is still bad. Always worse when standing still or laying on my left.     
Stretchmarks: No new ones still. Fingers crossed that I don’t end up with too many new ones this time around.   
Doctor’s Appointment:  A week from yesterday. Next Monday we get to do the big scan. 20 week anatomy scan. I’m super excited to see the baby.
Movement: Yep. It hasn’t been too much this past week but I have been so busy that I think I am just not noticing since it still isn’t very strong.   
Belly Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: 4 days!!!!!! 
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy.
Best moment of the week: Having a long weekend with my family. We had a blast. Went to the pool, had a picnic and a bbq, and just spent time together. We also prepped for the party this weekend so that was super fun. I am so excited!!
What I’m looking forward to: The Gender Reveal party. I cannot believe that we have held off over a month at this point when we could have easily found out. I am so excited to find out and share it with family and friends.  

What I miss: Steven made margaritas this weekend. Mean. That’s what that is. Mean.

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...
