28 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By

Baby’s Size: Large Eggplant (Yep, 2nd time this veggie has come around… this one is apparently just “Large”)
How far along: 28 Weeks
Total weight gain: 15 pounds. I put on another pound this week. If I continue to gain a pound a week for the remainder of this pregnancy and manage to make it to full term, I will have put on 27 pounds… exactly what I did with Kenzie when I delivered her at 37 weeks.    
Sleep:  Pretty good. I’m taking numerous trips to the bathroom at night. Nothing surprising. I’m also having some difficulty kicking whatever this sinus/allergy/cold thing is that Kenzie started with two weeks ago so it keeps me up a bit at night with congestion.
Maternity Clothes: For the most part.  
Food cravings: Nothing too much at the moment. 
Symptoms I HAVE: Heartburn city. What’s new? I’m tired but we have been busy with Kenzie’s birthday party so I have been running around like crazy. Now that we are done with that, I’m hoping things calm down and I get some energy back. Some sciatic nerve pain and numbness in my left thigh. I had that too when I weighed more as well as when I was pregnant with Kenzie. It has a name, though I don’t recall what it is right now.
Stretchmarks:  No new ones but those old ones are darkening a bit more.   
Doctor’s Appointment:  2 weeks from now. I hope to be able to ask the doc if Will seems to be head down. I know there are ways I can feel for his head when I lay down, but I’m just not adept at that. I tried to feel for him and I feel random spots that I know are him, but I cannot for the life of me tell what part of his body it is.  
Movement:  Yep. He is still having dance parties fairly frequently.      
Belly Button (In or Out): In. Momma mentioned that it seems like it is not as deep and wondered if it might pop this time. Only time will tell. 
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Pretty happy. I have been having a bit of a short temper again lately and a lot of things upset me easily but I can usually get over it fairly quickly. I chalk it up to hormones.
Best moment of the week: Kenzie’s 2nd birthday party! We had a blast and she loved it.
What I’m looking forward to: Kenzie’s actual birthday on Wednesday and getting together with my parents this weekend to celebrate Joe’s weekend. We are going to go to the Orlando Science Museum. I hope Kenzie has fun.       

What I miss: Not too much at the moment. I’m pretty content with what I have. =)

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...
