25 Weeks Pregnant with Will


Pardon my crazy hair. It was too hot to have down.
Baby’s Size: Eggplant
How far along: 25 Weeks
Total weight gain: So… 13 lbs. Put on another 2 lbs this week. I seriously weighed myself before bed the other night and was one thing. Then weighed myself in the morning and was up 2 pounds. How does that happen?!? Never dropped back down either. I wish I would have thought to measure myself both with Kenzie and now, though. It would be interesting to see my weight gain vs. measurements each time around. I think that I am carrying slightly different this time. At this point with Kenzie I had started to gain weight all over. While I still presume that is coming, it is taking longer to get here this time. This time (as I hear is common with boys), Steven and I have decided that it is difficult to tell I am pregnant from the back. He is seriously hanging out all in front at this point. We think that I am definitely "bigger" this time around though as far as belly goes. Kenzie gave me a more rounded belly whereas Will is just making me jut out farther. 


Comparison at 25 Weeks: Will (left) & Kenzie (right)
Sleep:  It’s been okay. My mind has been going a lot at night about various things and that is keeping me up. I worry a lot, regardless and for some reason have been doing more worrying lately than normal.   
Maternity Clothes: Yep! 
Food cravings: Nothing too much at the moment. 
Symptoms I HAVE: Heartburn. Still. It’s never ending. I’m also getting this weird vibrating feeling periodically right under my ribs. If anyone knows what that might be… do share. It doesn’t hurt. Just annoying. It comes and goes. I’m tired too but that could always be related to Kenzie.      
Stretchmarks:  No new ones but more and more old ones are turning red. 
Doctor’s Appointment:  6 days away!!
Movement:  ALL. THE. TIME. I wish I could figure out how he is positioned in there. He likely changes positions frequently because he isn’t cramped yet but it would be interesting to know if I am feeling a kick, punch, headbutt, or what.    
Belly Button (In or Out): In.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Still pretty moody. I’ve been crying a lot more lately for no good reason.
Best moment of the week: Celebrating birthdays and the 4th of July. Kenzie experienced her first fireworks (which she calls “firetrucks”) and she LOVED it. She did awesome all afternoon and evening at the Lake Eola event too despite having to use random porta-potties and everything. So proud of how well she is doing.     
What I’m looking forward to: Seeing Aunt Juju, Uncle E and Baby Evie this weekend!
What I miss: Being able to lay on my back and not having heartburn.

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...

Baseball, Birthdays, Picnics and Paintings

Whew! I'm tired. That's nothing unusual though. We had another big weekend. We started our weekly Spring Happenings list on Friday. Initially we planned on doing our Friday plans on Saturday but then Kenzie had a school friend's birthday come up so we decided to make some last minute changes. Friday afternoon Steven came home a bit early and we headed out to UCF to take in a baseball game. We have now hit up football, basketball, and baseball with the kids. They like all sports so far... though Will's first question when we mention a sporting event is always about popcorn. The kid has a popcorn problem. We love watching our kids be able to run around our alma mater's campus. It is just so cool. We love that we get to live close and go back to visit all the time as well as take in various activities and sports on campus. I'm hoping we get them so excited about UCF that they follow in our footsteps one day... though they can choose whatever they want. Except USF...

OUC Half Marathon - 12/7/19

It's official! We both get to say that we are half-marathoners. 13.1 miles is no joke. There have been a few times that we have walked that equivalent throughout a day (though it is rare because that is a LOT of walking and you are hard pressed to randomly walk that amount in a day even if you are on a mission), but to purposely try to complete it in a set amount of time all at once... that is some serious stuff. The week leading up to the race was nerve racking for me. I ended up having what I think was my plantar fascitis flare up the Sunday before the race after our last 6 mile training run. It was bad. I developed it a few years back when we lived in a house with almost all tile and it comes and goes randomly depending on activities I have done or shoes I have worn. It hasn't bothered me at all though during training until a week ago. Because of course it would show up a week out from race day. Why the heck not? Let's liven up the mood a little. Freaking heel. As a...
