16 Week Bumpdate



Dear Baby,

 I'm 16 weeks along and I'm enjoying most of the pregnancy. I have gained another 2 pounds but plan to slow it down just a bit. I haven't been eating really great because of the snow and what we have in the house. This week I will be using my new favorite website from How She Does It to meal plan healthy meals this week. This will help me eat healthier and help make sure you are getting everything you need without any extra weight gain for me. I have been craving Mexican food which I personally dislike passionately so it's definitely cravings. This will come into play when I'm making my weekly meal plan. Daddy is loving it too because he loves Mexican food and we hardly ever eat it.
I have been in maternity clothes since about 8 weeks. Mostly just pants. I can still wear most of my shirts that I always wear. My PJ pants are starting to get tight and uncomfortable so I'm hoping to be able to buy something that fits better and will last the whole pregnancy soon. Speaking of PJ's my sleep is getting better as far as sleeping mostly through the night however now I'm having very vivid dreams. Nightmares might be more the right word for that. Because of these dreams I'm waking up feeling very tired even though I'm getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night.
I haven't been able to feel you move yet although every night and sometimes during the day I lay still and hope for some little flutter. I'm hoping it will happen soon! We have decided that we will find out your gender and will have our ultrasound next month. We will not announce it until you brothers birthday at the end of March. We plan to have a shirt made that says "I'm going to have a little _________" and have him open it as a gift. I think all the family will be really excited to hear what you are. Right now most people are voting for girl. Daddy and Aunt M are voting for boy. Daddy because he's really nervous to have a little girl. Aunt M says boy because she was the only girl and she said it wasn't much fun to be picked on by all the boys. I'm hoping for a girl because I would love to buy dresses and have girl days when you are older but as long as your healthy I know we will all be just as happy!
My favorite moment this past week was celebrating Daddy's birthday. He turned 29 and it's shocking how fast things go when you have a little boy that keeps you busy and having a baby growing inside. I can't believe that we are ending our twenties already. Daddy had lots of fun out with Uncle Mike and then enjoyed dinner and a movie at home with Grandma, Popa, and our family.
We have another midwife appointment on Thursday and are very excited to hear your heartbeat again and know that everything is going good for you inside.

 Love,
Mommy

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
