17 Weeks Bumpdate


To my precious baby,

I'm 17 weeks right now and met with the midwife last Thursday. It's was Amiee who was the midwife that I saw with your brother. She is excited to see how this pregnancy and baby are after delivery. She told me that I'm the type of person that could end up delivering at home or in the car on the way to the hospital because of how Rex's delivery went. She made sure to point out how important it is to get checked right away if I think I might be in labor. It's really soon to be talking about labor signs because you are no where ready to come out but I guess it is important to know for when the time comes. The good thing with that is she thinks that my labor with you will be just as easy as it was with Rex. I'm happy about that!
I gained another pound or so this week. They said that's good. I have decided that I'm going to start doing some exercises this week because I'm having a lot of back pain already so I'm going to have to increase my calories. They said it would be OK if I wasn't gaining if I started exercising as long as you were growing good. 
We have made our appointment for next month to find out if you are a boy or a girl. We are very excited. How ever we are not sharing the date with anyone because we are keeping it a secret until Rex's birthday. We have decided that will be the perfect time to announce it to everyone. 
Friday night I think I finally felt you move for the first time! I'm very excited for this stage of the pregnancy. This seems like the longest time ever for me. With Rex I could feel him right away so waiting to feel you move has been a long time coming. Speaking of moving...I'm pretty sure you just did it again! I'm so excited! 
I'm still having a hard time sleeping mostly because of back pain. I'm hoping between the exercising and my massage on Tuesday things will get better. I really need to get more sleep. I'm not having any food cravings. Supposedly that's good because you are getting everything that you need but the down side is that I don't want to eat anything. Everything just sounds blah and not appealing to me but I keep eating either way. 
I'm so excited to see how this month goes. You are suppose to double in weight and grow which is why I should be able to feel you move and I can't wait. Next month will be exciting too as we plan your brother's 3rd birthday and get to find out if he's going to have a brother or a sister to meet him in July!
Mommy loves you!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
