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.

Ushering in Five-and-a-half

By
No. Nope. Not happening. Not even close.... but it is. As of tomorrow, Will is officially five-and-a-half. Halfway to six. SIX. What on earth? Both of our kids need to slow their roll and take it down a notch. It's so crazy to think that Will is going to be six in just six short months. He will start Kindergarten soon. He is already registered and ready to go. He is growing up so fast right before our eyes and it is a happy and sad time for me as Mama, for sure. So, a short update on Will at 5-and-a-half... - Will is growing like a weed. It is not uncommon right now for people to ask me if he has grown inches upon inches overnight. We are noticing that he is catching up to Kenzie fairly quickly and some of his friends that he used to be very similar in height to, he has gotten slightly taller than them. It's just his growth spurt time, apparently.  He remains remarkably skinny. So skinny that his clothes tend to fall of of him if we don't have adjustable waists. T...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

By
So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

Our New "Normal"

By
Wow. That's all I have to say about life right now. 2020 has been crazy. Back at the beginning of this year I made a chalkboard art that said something about ushering in the "roaring 20's," to which my ever positive husband replied something about 1920 having a plague (I see you, Spanish Flu) and we probably didn't want that to happen again. Fast forward to April... and we are all confined to our homes with the exception of leaving for groceries, medical needs, and exercise because of... a pandemic. (Insert facepalm emoji here... but I'm on a laptop so I don't have one of those.) This has been a crazy start to a new year. I am still having trouble wrapping my head around what has gone on over the last month or so for our country, our world, and our family. Here's what we should be doing... both kids should be in school today. Steven would likely be sitting in a water plant in Melbourne counting down the hours until he got to come home because he had ...
