27 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By

Baby’s Size: Head of Cauliflower
How far along: 27 Weeks – Welcome to the 3rd (and final… duh) trimester!!!
Total weight gain: Around 14 pounds. I did put on about a pound this week (by the way… we are going back to using my scale as the true scale for now) but that is to be expected. Still gaining nicely and not really putting it on anywhere but my belly. I will take that as long as I can. I remember being bigger overall with Kenzie at this point.   
Sleep:  Not good the past few nights. That is all Kenzie related though. She is going through a weird thing where she seems to require me being in her room for hours. I am trying to deal with whatever it is, but I am often so tired that I just end up sitting in her chair (while she is in her bed) and dozing a bit until I am sure she is back asleep. I haven’t gotten more than a few hours sleep each night for the past few nights. It’s a weird thing but I know we will get through it and she will grow out of it. I just wish she didn’t have to do it this week when I am very pregnant and getting over the cold she gave me late last week.
Maternity Clothes: Yep. I’m still in some of those shorts that aren’t maternity though. That is how I know I am gaining differently than I did with Kenzie. With her, there was no way that I would have fit in those shorts at this point. My hips and legs had gotten too big. This time there is not any of that yet.  
Food cravings: I so want an Everroast Chicken sandwich… that isn’t hot. It’s okay as a panini, but not what I truly want. I want it cold and with mayo. I could also still go for some wings. I have no idea why that keeps coming up. Oh… and maybe some more cheese fries. I have got to stop thinking about food now before I have to make a random food run.
Symptoms I HAVE: Still having heartburn. I have noticed that my sciatic pain has been a bit better. Maybe Will changed positions a bit.       
Stretchmarks:  Still no new ones.   
Doctor’s Appointment:  In three weeks I will go back. After that I moved to every two weeks. Eek! Can’t believe we are that close already. While I didn’t go to the doc this past week, I did find out that all my labs came back normal. Including my gestational diabetes test!!! Yay! While I really didn’t have any reason to worry about the results of that one, it is still something scary. I did not want to have to take the 3 hour and I definitely wouldn’t have been excited about the diet should I have it. I still have a terrible bruise on my arm from where the blood was taken this time. Sometimes that happens. It’s gross.  
Movement:  Definitely. I have been trying to get it on video but every time I turn on my phone’s video camera, he stops. Of course he does. Just like his sister. Irritating because it is crazy to watch and I would like to have it on video because I never got that for Kenzie… but he won’t cooperate. Pretty soon he will be so big that he won’t have a choice but to cooperate because any more will be visible if I lay right.      
Belly Button (In or Out): In and still nowhere near popping out. I am starting to think that it won’t pop with Will, just as it didn’t with Kenzie. It’s that crazy deep belly button I have.
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy.
Best moment of the week: Our mini vacay to Palm Beach. Kenzie loved spending time with her cousin and Aunt Juju and Uncle Eric. She did amazing! She loved the slide and I think the best moment of my week was actually watching her smile from ear to ear as she rode down the water slide with her Daddy. Those two are trouble. She kept wanting to do it again and again. Watching her love something so much just makes me happy.       
What I’m looking forward to: Kenzie’s 2nd birthday party this weekend. I have been working on the planning for over a month so it is exciting to see it all come together. It isn’t a big party, but I want it to be fun. I know she won’t remember but we will have plenty of pictures to show her one day and I want her to enjoy herself. Again… her being happy makes me happy.       

What I miss: Cold sandwiches. Yep… normal sandwiches with mayo and cool lettuce… yum.

Welcome Back to Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

It's almost time! School is upon us. The kids in our county return on Wednesday. Kenzie's first day of school is next Tuesday. Monday we will have Meet the Teacher during the day and then Tuesday will be her first day of VPK. More on all that in a minute... This week though officially started our return to normalcy. It's about time! Kenzie started back to dance on Monday. The fall season started and she was so excited. She was asking me all day about when it would be time to go to dance. She was just so ready to get back to it. This season/year we have elected to stay with the same teacher she had last year, Ms. Rebekah. Kenzie loved her so it seemed like a great bet when we found out that she was going to be teaching Pre-K 2. This year will be a lot like last year in that they will do ballet, tap, and tumbling but the skills we be more advanced. More "dance language" will be used (though Ms. Rebekah has always focused on giving them proper terminology anyway)...

Eight is Great!

By
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

By
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...
