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...

Preschool Done.... One Step Closer to MIT

By
So, here it is. The end of "preschool." Note: "Preschool" and "VPK" are not used interchangeably for the purpose of our discussion. In the sense of the word, Kenzie is done with "preschool" and next year will be in "VPK". Eek! That's not allowed. Kenzie's first official year in school is now done. She is one year older, one year wiser, one year more stubborn. It's crazy for us to think back that just a few short months ago we were going to her Meet the Teacher day and we were both having some major anxiety about our baby going to school. I remember the first day of school plain as day. I thought she might have some apprehension. Nope. None. I probably shouldn't have been surprised. Kenzie went in like she owned the place. There was a day that her teacher mentioned that Kenzie was one of the quiet ones in the class and rarely spoke. I'm still not sure that she was thinking of my Kenzie. Maybe I had been dropping of...

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...
