30 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By

Baby’s Size: Cabbage
How far along: 30 Weeks
Total weight gain: 17 pounds according to my scale at home… 16 at the doctor’s office. Either way, sitting around that point. Doc said weight is still looking good. =)
Sleep:  Not that great lately. I have been really, really congested. Not sure if it is a cold that just won’t go away, allergies, or just congestion as a pregnancy symptom. I was pretty congested with Kenzie as well so it could just be that. Regardless, it makes sleep hard to come by. I am also going to the bathroom about 8-10 times a night (no joke…) so I am up and down A LOT! I think I am up every hour at least.  
Maternity Clothes: Yep… except those few non-maternity items I am wearing the heck out of. =)   
Food cravings: I got my fried pickles! Thanks, Momma! They were so yummy! Not craving too much at the moment. That can all change in an instant though.
Symptoms I HAVE: Is it even worth mentioning the heartburn anymore? It is just a fact of life at this point. I am also getting to that point where every afternoon I am exhausted. I wish I was a napping sort of person. I just always have other things to do that keep me from actually getting a nap. Some Braxton Hicks. I had a pretty intense one the other day. It was by far the most noticeable one I have had so far. I never had them with Kenzie so it is a new experience. 
Stretchmarks:  No new ones still.  Just those old ones darkening more and more.  
Doctor’s Appointment:  Yesterday. BP is still looking good. Will is head down (for now) but floating really high still. His heartbeat was 156 so that is good too. Weight looks good. Everything overall is still good. Doc was happy. We are still shooting for a VBAC but we will schedule my c-section at my next appointment. You can’t schedule more than a month out but we want a date scheduled the week after my due date just in case Will decides he is too comfy to come out before. The chance of uterine rupture increases for me as I get more and more overdue so we are going to go ahead and schedule, just in case. Doc said he would rather schedule and cancel than not have it. We are definitely still on the same page though about attempting that VBAC. Come on, Will! Make sure you come out right around your due date!!!
Movement:  Yep. I can now confirm that it is a foot that keeps making its way in to my ribcage. Seriously. This kid is intent on putting his foot right up under my ribs. Irritating. He is still hanging out on my left too. He seems to like it there. Just so long as he remains head down or at least is there around 36-37 weeks, I am a happy camper. He can move all he wants… just stay head down!       
Belly Button (In or Out): In but Steven was looking last night and noticed that it is getting closer to being flatter. Maybe it will pop this time…
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy 
Best moment of the week: Starting Will’s room. We have the first color of paint on and it is finally starting to seem a bit more real that he will be here in 10 weeks or so.
What I’m looking forward to: Finishing the paint in Will’s room. Then we can start looking at cribs and get a move on getting his room fully decorated.

What I miss: Not a lot right now other than uninterrupted sleep.

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...

Making the Most of Spring Break

By
This is the first year that "Spring Break" actually seemed like a thing instead of just another random week. I think that is because Kenzie is in school 4 days a week this year so it is more like "real" school rather than the 2 days a week that was preschool last year. So, I wanted to try to make Spring Break fun and something different instead of just spending it like another week. We were limited in what we could do because Steven has been super busy at work and couldn't take any additional time off. We already have his days planned out for the entire year so that he can take a few days here and there for specific things but keep a good balance of days in case something comes up and we need them. So, I had to come up with some things that we don't typically do every day but that were easy enough for me to handle two small children during and that were inexpensive/free. Side note: We turned in all the paperwork to enroll Will in preschool next year this l...

This is Seven... and-a-half

By
Today is Kenzie's half birthday! We kind of have a thing about half birthdays around here. We don't do anything major, but we like to mark their appearance because it is fun for the kids to know that they are officially halfway to their next birthday. It's a bit bittersweet for me though. As is the usual, here is a brief update on all things Kenzie. - She is still really tall. She is somewhere around 53.5 inches or so. I honestly don't know for sure. They are so hard to measure on my own. It's about 2.5 inches taller than 6 months ago so I think that could be about right. Either way, most of her height remains in her legs. - She is so amazing at math. Seriously, this kid got all her Daddy's math brains. Thankfully. Her teacher made the comment at parent teacher conference that she was so excited to see her best math student this year is a girl. She just figures out math problems super easily. She also loves it. She asks us to play math games with her o...
