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.

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

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...

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...

Spending Time At The Family Dinner Table

I set a few new goals for this school year. I have big plans. Always. Haha! Anyway, my goal has been to try to add one new recipe per week to our rotation of meals as well as use our slow cooker once a week. So far, we have been doing pretty well and so far, we have enjoyed all of our new meals. We did have a week of set back so far when we had no power after Hurricane Irma so that we didn't make any new meals or anything. The current week was another difficult week as we had to spend money restocking some essentials in our kitchen that we lost due to the power outage so we had to hold off on anything new this week, as well. The main goal of all of this has been to add new recipes but also make sure that we are spending time at the dinner table as a family. This is something we have tried to do since our kids have been old enough to understand eating dinner as a family. BC (Before Children) and even when Kenzie was small, we ate in the living room while watching TV a lot, but as ...
