15 Week Update!

How far along: 15 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: I think around 5lbs but sometimes it's only 3lbs. So whichever I am doing well. 

Maternity clothes: Yes but nothing new in the wardrobe. I hope for a new shirt this weekend!  

Sleep: The dreams seem to have eased up thankfully but I am still having to pee midnight.  

Best moment of this week: Hands down Jimmy's first hair cut! I was so hung up on having it done at Disney and as cool as that would have been I was even more thrilled to have Steve's Dad (used to Barber) do it! He knew exactly what to cut without me having to say a word. It was wonderful and turned out perfect. 

Miss anything: Not this week :) 

Movement:  Nothing I can feel yet. 

Food cravings: Stuff that is really cold or frozen. I am still eating lots of watermelon everyday and now I have added pop-sickles and ice ice ice cold water.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nopers :) 

Have you started to show yet: Only I can tell still.  

Gender: Would you believe we are not going to find out!! Crap, right? Well after much thought I gave into Steve's desire to wait. I figured  it's only fair being we found out with Jimmy and this is out last baby. But oh it is going to kill me to not know! 

Labor signs: Thank God no! 

Belly button in or out: In. With Jimmy it got close but never popped, than again he came at 34weeks 5days.                       

Wedding rings on or off:  I have been home most of the last week so I have not had them on but I think so :) 

Happy or moody most of the time: Still fighting off a bad case of being lonely but learning to get used to it. 

Looking forward to: Going to Sams Friday. Yup, I do think that is going to be this weeks highlight. 

Prego 14 Week Update!

How far along: 14 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: Well...went to the Midwife today and found out I am up 5lbs. Guess that's okay for now but we would only like a 20 pound gain over all.  

Maternity clothes: Sure am. I scored a cute pair of pants from a consignment store that looked great for the first few hours of the day but as time went on they now look all stretched out and too big. Bummer. 

Sleep: Still have to pee midway through the night and dreams are crazy. 

Best moment of this week: I enjoy the busy weekend with family for sure but the best part was today! We had a visit with our Midwife and heard the babies heartbeat. So comforting.  

Miss anything: Staying up late. Now the clock hits 10 pm and my eyes are closed. I loved staying up with hubby after the kids went to bed to watch movies together. 

Movement:  I was almost sure once but it never happened again. So still no but soon I hope.  

Food cravings: Salad still and watermelon!  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still thankfully nothing. 

Have you started to show yet: Not to other people yet. 

Gender: Still don't know but Midwife gave us the orders to schedule our one and only ultrasound for four to six weeks from now! 

Labor signs: Not at all!

Belly button in or out: Still in :)                       

Wedding rings on or off:  On for now but this morning before our appointment my rings were super tight and I had just put them on. As the day went on they got back to normal.  

Happy or moody most of the time: Still both I think. I am at the point where I think all my friends no longer like me and I am not good enough for my husband. A.K.A. a big case of the insecurities. I had it with James too and it passed so I know it's all in my crazy prego head. 

Looking forward to: A slow week, I hope. 

Prego 13 Week Update

How far along: 13 weeks baby!! 

Total weight gain: 3 pounds but it goes down during the day. 

Maternity clothes: Yes and it's time to get more because my regular clothes make me just look fat. 

Sleep: I have to get up every night to go pee and I toss and turn all night trying to be comfy. Oh and the wild dreams! 

Best moment of this week: Celebrating 4 great years married to my best friend!! We didn't do anything fancy but spend time together just us. 

Miss anything: Wine and staying up late. Now a days I can't keep my eyes open past 10pm. 

Movement: Oh no...the baby just formed reflexes but I am thinking in a few weeks or so. 

Food cravings: Salad, any kind and I really want frozen fruit pops too. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Have you started to show yet: I notice when I am nude! 

Gender: Don't know yet. Steve says he doesn't want to know...but he said that last time too ;)

Labor signs: Lord no!! 

Belly button in or out: Very much still in.

Wedding rings on or off:  Still on!

Happy or moody most of the time: Both I think. I sure do have my moments this time where I catch myself being a B and have to take time to relax. Which is odd because with James I was happy and laughing all the time. 

Looking forward to: A very busy weekend with family and friends! 

We Are Having a Baby!

We are using a Midwife this time around so we will not have an ultrasound to share until around 20 weeks unless we break down and go to one of those Ultrasound Boutique places. 

I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and hope to update every week at the least with how things are going. 

Thank you for following and sharing this with us. 

Letter To Dad

Daddy, 

I miss you so so so so so so much. September 7, 2012 feels like yesterday and sometimes feels like you have been gone for so long. I think about you often and wonder what you are doing and where you are. Are you looking over me today or with Mom? Are you spending time with Grandma and Grandpa? Do you get to see Jesus often or is He always kinda busy? I know you haven't been gone very long but wow, the things James has learned! A week after you passed he started crawling!! A dam week...I know how bad you wanted to see that. I wanted so bad for you to be able to hang on just four more months so you could have see your 60th birthday and James' 1st. Dad can you believe he started walking at 11 months!? He really is amazing! I think about that day when you were sitting with James and I heard you tell him "your mom will tell you all about me one day." Oh how I wished I didn't have to. I wish you could teach him all the things you taught me. Daddy I will tell him all about you. I will tell him of the time we ran from the rain in the orange grove and how we would carefully follow in your footsteps around and up the huge sand piles and the many weekends we spent on the boat and how you used to read to us the songs out of that old book. I will tell him of the days at the table we would just spend talking about everything and nothing. I will tell him how much joy he brought into you life. I will tell him you love him so much. 

Gosh Dad....some days the tears flow more than others. Today is one of those days. I really wish I could talk to you. 

I love you. We all love you. 

This photo is from a few weeks ago but I know you will love it. XOXO
