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...

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 ...
