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...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

12 Week Bumpdate

Yesterday we had our 12 week ultrasound and I enjoyed it so much! We were able to see our baby's face and she  (we didn't find anything out about the sex just hard to talk without he's and she's) had her hands up by her face. It was so cute. We also have a very stubborn child. The poor tech had such a hard time trying to get the measurements that she needed. She kept trying to get the baby to move. She had me move trying to get to the baby to move and nothing. So we were able to enjoy watching our baby on the screen for at least 20 minutes while she did her best to get the pictures she needed.  I'm a little bummed by the photo she gave us to take home. There were so many good photos where you could see so much and then right at the end she gave us a quick photo that isn't great but I will share it anyway. Like I said bad right. Well so it can help the baby's head in on the right side, Her hand is the white blob in front of her face and then you can b...
