33 Weeks Pregnant with Will

By

Baby’s Size: Durian Fruit… whatever that is
How far along: 33 Weeks
Total weight gain: About 20 lbs. I put on about 2 pounds this week. I think at least half a pound should have gone straight to Will (maybe more) so I’m okay with that. I’ve been eating more than usual. I know that. I need to watch what I eat though to make sure that any weight I gain is at least from good sources. Sweets have sounded really good lately though. =)
Sleep:  Not been that great lately. I not only get up quite a few times a night but I have a lot of trouble staying comfortable. It’s okay except for the fact that there is no sleeping in and no real naps because even when Kenzie naps I have a ton of things to get done. We had an issue a few nights ago with our power going off at night for some reason. It happened twice. It gets hot FAST when the air goes out. The second time it went out it was out for much longer. Not fun. It woke me up both times and I would get so hot that I had trouble getting back to sleep. 
Maternity Clothes: Pretty much. Still have a few things I can wear that aren’t maternity and just stretch.  
Food cravings: Sweets lately. Weird for me. Usually I am all about salty foods and most of my “cravings” thus far have involved salty food.  
Symptoms I HAVE: All the norm still. Heartburn, Braxton Hicks, the numbness in my left leg periodically, tiredness, etc. Nothing new to report.
Stretchmarks:  No new ones.
Doctor’s Appointment:  Next week. =)
Movement:  Of course. He is still moving like crazy. I think he has been moving slightly less as he is getting bigger and bigger. He mainly just pushes into my ribs or bladder when he stretches out. Not as many all out kicks any longer.  
Belly Button (In or Out): In. Now Steven has decided that it will stay that way. We shall see.   
Wedding Ring (On or Off): On.
Labor Signs: None.
Gender: Boy!  
Happy or Moody Most of the Time: Happy 
Best moment of the week: We had a few. UCF football! College Football in general! We also had Will’s crib delivered this weekend. Super fun! Almost done with his room. I can’t wait to get it all together.  
What I’m looking forward to: Finishing up Will’s room. Getting my hospital bag packed. Finishing Kenzie’s big sis gift from Will. So much to do but all of it is so fun! 

What I miss: Sleeping peacefully at night. That won’t be happening for quite some time though.

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...
