Mid Week Randoms

1. Thank you all for your sweet comments and emails on my week 14 post yesterday. This new life is such a blessing, he/she has NO idea!

2. This year the boys want to be something scary for Halloween. I enjoy Halloween but I sure don't go all out. When they asked to be Michael Myers and Scream my first reaction was NO! You need to be a pirate or something age appropriate. Then I realized Will is 7, he will be 8 in November so it's time I guess for me to allow them to be kids. I mean it won't hurt him to dress up for one night something scary like he's begged for the past 3 years. So I caved and he still hasn't made up his mind, hopefully when we go get the costumes they will have decided by then. I blame those crazy magazines that come in the mail for my kids picking out scary costumes. PLUS the hubs LOVES scary movies, I think he has rubbed that off on the boys. 

3. I am SO looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I really want to decorate for Christmas in a few weeks. I would just really enjoy having all of my decorations up for more than a month. The hubs says that's fine as long as I don't decorate outside before Thanksgiving! :) 

4. My Mom is coming in town for Thanksgiving and that has me SUPER excited as well!!! I can't wait to see her smiling face! 

5. The first few months of this pregnancy I didn't really think about it much. I honestly thought something was wrong with me, like I might not love this child like I should. Oh boy, have things changed, I can't get this blessing off of my mind. I think after seeing it last week and seeing it look like a baby really made me realize just how precious life is and how blessed I am to be a Mommy to 3 beautiful, perfect children.

6. This weekend is going to be crazy busy. Well just Saturday, Sunday we only have church planned so hopefully after that we can relax and enjoy the day. I hope we can get everything done that we want too!!

I hope y'all are having a blessed week and we will talk again soon!

14 Weeks

I can not even believe that I'm already 14 weeks and 1 day, today. This pregnancy is FLYING by and we have hit the 2nd trimester now, that is an amazing thing!

In the above picture you can see it's little side profile of the face. It's eyes, nose and mouth. At only 13 weeks when this ultrasound was taken, I was amazed at how much you could see. It was opening and closing it's mouth and to me it is nothing short of a miracle! This child is such a blessing to our family and it hasn't made it's presence yet!

So here's the stats, it's not real pretty:

Size of Baby: Lemon.. the baby is the size of a lemon.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 7 lbs, more than I think I should be right now, but this is just what I do when I'm preggo, because everything taste, smells and is wonderful to me and I'm never sick. Just praying I can get it under control!!

Maternity Clothes: Not really any, this weekend I wore a pair of pants I wore with the boys, they were not the big belly preggo pants, low band and they were so comfy. I'm still wearing my normal work clothes.

Gender: We find out November 28th. :)

Movement: Yes, I feel little things going on in there now.

Sleep: It's starting to be hard for me to get back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night to pee, I lay there so frustrated. Hopefully I will be back to my knocked out coma soon!

What I miss: Nothing really, I haven't had a glass of wine since the night this child was conceived so a glass of wine would be nice!

What I am looking forward to: Thanksgiving and finding out what this miracle will be!!!

Cravings/Aversions: Anything healthy, for lunch everyday I eat Subway (those of you that know J he has been on a Subway kick for 3 months now, the baby and I are on it now, it is just the BOMB.com!)

Symptoms: Would you believe it if I told you that just like the boys pregnancy, I've have NO sickness. With this pregnancy I have not even had 1 spell of nausea. It's beyond wonderful and I feel blessed. I do believe this is why I gain so much weight in my pregnancies though since I'm not nauseous or sick and the cravings are still there. My extreme tiredness is starting to go away, so I feel completely normal right now besides starting to feel fat!

Best Moment This Week: Last week was great seeing the baby on ultrasound and how much it looks like a baby now, no more gummy bears, just a baby with a big ol head!

Week 12 Preggo

Size of Baby: a lime... I didn't know this week it would be this big, but per my pregnancy email I get weekly it says it is the size of a lime.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: So far gained 3 lbs... Unfortunately I'm expecting a higher number next week when I go to the doctor :(

Maternity Clothes: Not really any, this weekend I wore a pair of pants I wore with the boys, they were not the big belly preggo pants, low band and they were so comfy. I'm still wearing my normal work clothes.

Gender: Don't know yet?? Should we find out??? That is the question we are trying to figure out..

Movement: None yet... I say I might of felt a few little somethings, but it could of easily been gas :0

Sleep: It's starting to be hard for me to get back to sleep after getting up in the middle of the night to pee, I lay there so frustrated. Hopefully I will be back to my knocked out coma soon!

What I miss: Nothing really, I haven't had a glass of wine since the night this child was conceived so a glass of wine would be nice!

What I am looking forward to: Doctors appointment next week, I just love hearing that heart just a beating away, it makes you really feel a overwhelming since of happiness, gratitude and gratefulness :)

Cravings/Aversions: Anything healthy, for lunch everyday I eat Subway (those of you that know J he has been on a Subway kick for 3 months now, the baby and I are on it now, it is just the BOMB.com!)

Symptoms: Would you believe it if I told you that just like the boys pregnancy, I've have NO sickness. With this pregnancy I have not even had 1 spell of nausea. It's beyond wonderful and I feel blessed. I do believe this is why I gain so much weight in my pregnancies though since I'm not nauseous or sick and the cravings are still there. My extreme tiredness is starting to go away, so I feel completely normal right now besides starting to feel fat! I'm in the between stage, where someone that saw me would think "gosh she's gained weight and needs to say no to the sweets"

Best Moment This Week: Umm... Well I haven't had a milestone moment this week in the pregnancy, I guess you could say getting my energy back and actually cleaning house this weekend was nice. My family was thanking the Lord for my energy :)
