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...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
