19 Weeks Pregnant



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.

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...

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. ...

New State Parks, Beaches, Movies, and Friend Time

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 ...
