18 Week Bumpdate


Dear Growing Baby,

 That's the theme for you this week. I feel like you have had to double in size this past week maybe week in a half. I feel huge compared to what I remember feeling like last week. Yesterday I wore a t-shirt that is normally huge on me and so far my belly hasn't shown when I have worn it. Well that changed yesterday. My shirt kept sticking to my belly all day! You have to have grown because I'm getting more uncomfortable and doing things like dishes and laundry are getting harder because I have to bend over.

 I'm still feeling tired. I'm just starting to think that it will never go away. I think I will be tired the entire pregnancy. I'm beginning to think that you are going to cause problems when you come out. If this pregnancy is any sign to our future we are going to have our hands full.

 We have another midwife appointment next month and I'm getting excited. This is the big one...where we get to find out what you are. I'm excited to finally know if you are a boy or girl. I'm excited to know so Daddy and I can have conversations about names. We have the basics picked out but have to have some conversations about finalizing them. We will be telling everyone what we find out and hopefully a name at Rex's birthday party this year. Everyone is very excited to know and bugging me about it all the time. We are keeping everything a secret including the date of the appointment so no one will no when to start hounding us for information.

 At 18 weeks I'm still not having any big food cravings and I haven't been feeling you move since the first time. It makes me nervous but I know that I should start feeling you move a lot really soon. There are so many things that I'm looking forward to and I can't wait. I feel like this pregnancy is taking forever compared to your brother. I feel very rushed to get everything done and ready for your arrival. I want to get his clothes ready for you if your a boy or I need to get them ready to sell if you are a girl and I'm trying to be patient and wait but it's driving me nuts. I know I will have plenlty to do very soon and should just enjoy this slow time.

 Keep on growing safely in there and I will keep doing my best to give you what you need.

 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 ...
