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.

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...

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. ...

Spending Time At The Family Dinner Table

By
I set a few new goals for this school year. I have big plans. Always. Haha! Anyway, my goal has been to try to add one new recipe per week to our rotation of meals as well as use our slow cooker once a week. So far, we have been doing pretty well and so far, we have enjoyed all of our new meals. We did have a week of set back so far when we had no power after Hurricane Irma so that we didn't make any new meals or anything. The current week was another difficult week as we had to spend money restocking some essentials in our kitchen that we lost due to the power outage so we had to hold off on anything new this week, as well. The main goal of all of this has been to add new recipes but also make sure that we are spending time at the dinner table as a family. This is something we have tried to do since our kids have been old enough to understand eating dinner as a family. BC (Before Children) and even when Kenzie was small, we ate in the living room while watching TV a lot, but as ...
