31 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By

Baby’s Size: Pineapple
How far along: 31 Weeks
Total weight gain: 17 pounds. Though yesterday it would have been 18. Guess I am at that weird point where I gain and lose for a couple of days before finally putting on the pound (or more) for good.
Sleep:  Eh. It’s getting more and more difficult to remain conformable. I expected it, but maybe not this early.   
Maternity Clothes: Mostly. Still stretching out some random clothing items.    
Food cravings: Not a whole lot. Maybe some red meat. We had steak last night. I have switched back to a normal prenatal vitamin with iron but maybe I am still a little low.
Symptoms I HAVE: Heartburn. Of course. Why even mention it anymore. If it went away I would be utterly surprised. Maybe if he drops at some point it will get a bit better. The sciatic nerve pain has been almost non-existent, but the numbness has gotten a bit worse if I stand or walk for too long.   
Stretchmarks:  No new ones still.
Doctor’s Appointment:  We are at the every two week point so I will be going back again next week. =)  
Movement:  Definitely. He was having himself a dance party on Sunday night around 2am. I was awake for a while.         
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: Happy 
Best moment of the week: Finishing up the painting in Will’s room. It looks awesome! We also purchased his crib which should be delivered in the next couple of weeks. I can’t wait to get it in and get more done to finish up his room.  
What I’m looking forward to: The weekend with my little girl and hubby. I’m hoping we can get to the pool a lot. I’m afraid it will get to the point soon that it is going to be uncomfortable for me to do a whole lot and she still requires a lot of attention in the pool so I have to be at the top of my game. I’m also getting more and more exhausted as the days go on (which I know won’t get better any time soon) so I want to make sure I spend as much non-exhausted time with them both as possible. I’m also wanting to get in as many more memories as a family of 3 before we become 4. I wish we could hit the beach this weekend but we have a birthday party on Saturday (which we are also excited about) and we usually don’t do the beach on Sunday because we have church in the morning and would rather go early in the morning than later in the day. The next weekend starts college football so I think we are done with the beach (as far as swimming) for this year.  

What I miss: Not a whole lot. Maybe not having to go to pee every 4 ½ minutes.

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 ...
