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.

Young Summer of Fun - Bucket List Update (Week 12)

By
Honestly, I debated doing a weekly update for this week because we didn't actually check anything off the summer bucket list... but decided to go ahead and do it because we did do some fun stuff. Plus, there are only two more weeks of this (including this one) so anyone that is actually interested can read it if they want. =) This week was fairly low key. Steven was dealing with his shingles diagnosis so we didn't do anything too crazy because the main reason he likely came down with it was because he is so run down and stressed out. Kenzie had school all week. Well, except Monday but on Monday's, we dance. She did great at dance by the way! She goes to dance each week and then spends the next 6 days asking us if she has dance. We made her a calendar for the fridge that lists her activities and dance is on it. We cross off each day so she can count down to dance. Doesn't matter. She still asks. Wishful thinking, I guess. And she is still rocking school. She is doing...

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...

Friday Favorites: Summer Bucket List Edition

By
This week's Friday Favorite isn't a product we love but rather our long anticipated (in our family) Summer Bucket List. This is something we have been doing for about 3 years running now. We sometimes keep a running bucket list of sorts for fall and spring too. We also always have an advent calendar of activities for the month of December. I think the summer list is my favorite though. Summer is a favorite season around this house. It means pool time, beach time, and a lot of other fun things that happen like Vacation Bible School and swimming lessons. This year we have a few new things and some oldie but goodies. Technically we have quite a bit of time until summer officially begins, but we are so excited for summer that we decided to make the list now. We also decide to start summer post Memorial Day so our activities will begin in about 6 weeks. We are super excited to have a few new things this year as well as keeping a couple of things that we didn't get around to ...
