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.

The Doc is In!

By
Today we celebrated THREE with Kenzie! We had her official 3rd birthday party. She doesn't actually turn 3 until Thursday, but her birthday today with friends and family was a definite success. The most adorable Doc there is I admit, I'm a bit crazy. I start planning birthday parties months in advance. I have been planning Will's first for months already and his isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Anyway, Kenzie and I talked about it a few months ago and she elected to choose a Doc McStuffins themed birthday party this year. I will post another day about the decorations that I created for this party, but for now... a photo dump in honor of our little Doc turning 3. Our spread was pretty yummy, if I do say so myself. Everything from "Stuffy's Dragon Tails" (fruit kabobs) to "Squeakers Fishy Friends" (goldfish) and "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doc Away" (applesauce packets and cups). Will spent most of his tim...

New State Parks, Beaches, Movies, and Friend Time

By
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 ...

Welcome to 4-and-a-half, Little Man!

By
Holy cow! Will is now officially closer to being five than four. I can't believe he will be a whole hand old in just a short 6 months. We like our half-birthdays around here. A very merry unbirthday to you! Anyway, in the interest of remembering to document what Will was like halfway to five, here we go! So, at 4-and-a-half, Will... ... is somewhere around 44.25 to 44.75 inches at this point. Measuring him at home is... interesting as he is a wiggler and very ticklish so the slightest touch and he collapses in giggles which makes measuring him difficult. Anytime I do it, I get between 44.25 and 44.75 so we are going to assume somewhere around there is right. Also, he rode Expedition Everest for the first time about a month or so ago and the height limit is 44". We had him measured against the height thingy and he was obviously tall enough. All that to say he is quite tall. If he is 44.5 (split the difference), then he is at about the 96th percentile. He weighs aroun...
