29 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By


Baby’s Size: Butternut Squash (Yum!)
How far along: 29 Weeks
Total weight gain: 16 pounds. Putting on about 1 a week still. I don’t think I have ever gained weight at such a regulated amount. I usually gain weight (when not pregnant) a lot at once and then nothing for a long time so seeing the scale tick up just one pound over the course of a week when I have done nothing different than I did 7 months ago is still strange to me.
Sleep:  Okay. I’m getting up more at night to go to the bathroom. I’m also needing more tums at night to combat the heartburn so I get up for that sometimes too. The plus is that the sciatic nerve pain when I lay on my left seems to have ceased for the time being. I’m sure it will be back, but maybe Will changed positions and isn’t making it that uncomfortable at the moment. He is getting heavier though so I am finding that I have to change sides periodically because his weight pulling down one way or the other starts to hurt my sides. I sleep with a pillow supporting my tummy but sometimes I must shift and it moves out from under me. 
Maternity Clothes: Mostly. Still appreciating that I can fit into a few non-maternity items.   
Food cravings: Fried pickles. I have wanted them for about 3 days now. Maybe it’s the salt… but I would prefer my salt come in the form of pickles covered in batter and fried… then dipped in ranch. I made a baked version for dinner last night. They were good. They didn’t taste AS good though as the real fried version. So… craving still fairly intense. Hoping to make it up to Froggers this weekend to get some.
Symptoms I HAVE: Heartburn. I seriously cannot wait for that to end. It is so much worse than it was with Kenzie and I definitely don’t believe that will bring hair (trust me… I have proof in the form of a 2 year old that just started finally growing hair less than a year ago). That numbness in my leg is still off and on. I get winded easily. Well, more easily than I did a few months ago. I’m also finally starting to recognize Braxton Hicks. I mostly get them when we go for evening walks. I need to learn to slow it down a bit and remember to take water with me.
Stretchmarks:  No new ones still.    
Doctor’s Appointment:  Next week! I’m ready to start going every 2 weeks. Just means we are that much closer.
Movement:  A lot. He seems to be running out of room though (not surprising at this point) so his movements are bigger and less often.       
Belly Button (In or Out): Still in…  
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Eh. I have been going through that easily frustrated stage again. Poor Jack. He keeps getting under my feet or doing something that puts him on my bad side. He tried to snatch a pizza crust out of my hand this weekend. Needless to say… I snapped. 
Best moment of the week: Going to the Orlando Science Center. We have never been. Kenzie LOVED it. I think everyone found something they really liked. We will definitely be going back.
What I’m looking forward to: Starting to finally get the nursery ready this weekend. Painting and moving furniture around to complete Kenzie’s “big girl” (or sort of big girl) room.
What I miss: Not a lot. I would like a glass of wine but I will make it. Almost there.

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...

13 Weeks to 13 Miles! OUC Orlando Half Marathon Training: Week 7

By
This is it. This is officially the middle week of the 13 weeks to 13 miles training plan. It's the odd man out week. It is also the week after our rest week and the week that things really start to pick up speed. We have mostly done overall low mileage weeks up until this point topping out at 13 miles which is overall less than the half marathon... by a measly .1 mile but that mileage was all divvied up over 3 runs so it's definitely not the same. Now we start ramping up and we don't slow down until the week before the race when we essentially taper. This week is an overall 15 miles and by the end, we will top out at 22 weekly miles. Eek. We can do it! I know we can. I hope. Haha! Tuesday Plan: 4 Miles, Actual: 4 Miles Whew! Another run in the books. This one was probably one of the worst ones so far. Not because I didn't run okay. I was actually fine for most of the run. I kept my 1:1 intervals and paced about 13:30 without too many outliers as far as timing goes. ...

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 9)

By
This week we managed to check quite a few things off of our bucket list. The week itself was pretty low key though. (Beware: Super pic heavy post coming up!) We started our week by having Kenzie's 4-year-old well check on Monday. After a quick breakfast and some play time at Chick Fil A since we never went for her birthday, we headed over to the doc's office. Her appointment went really well. She did so great! She is officially 41 inches tall (77th percentile) and 37.6 pounds (70th percentile). Her weight percentile has jumped; however, when you compare it with her height, it makes her the perfect BMI apparently. They also took her blood pressure for the first time ever with the cuff. It was pretty cute. I had to google blood pressure in children and learned that the levels are dependent on sex, age, and height percentiles. So, after all that, I figured out that her BP is at the 50th percentile so it is spot on for where she should be. The doc also had her bend forward so ...
