19 Week Bumpdate


Dear Baby,

Well it's now 19 weeks! Ya! I get excited each time a week goes by because I know I'm closer to meeting you! You are growing big time. I'm feeling you move almost every day now and you have started stretching already where you push against me and it makes me unconformable. I think it might be a long couple of months if this is starting already. 

My day clothes are maternity and super comfy however I'm quickly outgrowing all of my bedtime clothes. This makes sleeping more uncomfortable which is equaling less sleep for me. I'm trying to figure out the best ways for me to sleep and be comfortable but nothing has helped yet.  With all this growing I'm noticing that I'm starting to get a new stretch mark from you. Your brother gave me some but it looks like you want me to have some from you too. 

My food cravings are still pretty similar. Most things just sound gross to me. Dairy on the other hand always sounds good. I could drink milk and eat ice cream all day long! I could also eat spaghetti almost every day. Not just pasta, it has to be spaghetti noddles. I had this craving with Rex too. You both must be pasta kids.

Still don't know that gender but the date is getting closer. We will know for just a little bit before we share the news with family and friends at Rex's birthday party on the 31st. I will also be posting here on that day to let everyone know as well. The good news is that we have picked a boys name out but can't decide on a girls name. If you read this post then you might be confused. Yes we had a girls name but it just doesn't sound right anymore so we are back to the drawing board. We have decided to just think about it and then when we have are appointment we will talk seriously about it if you are a girl. If not then we won't have to worry about it. Rex has decided to name you Lizard. He wanted to have a baby lizard but I told him that Mommy can't have baby lizards so instead it is now your nickname. 

This week I have decided that I miss being able to bend over to do dishes comfortably. It's slowly getting harder to do. On the other hand the best moment this week would be spending time with family. We did a zoo trip and Rex had a blast being outside. He got to spend all day Saturday with Grandma and Popa and then today we spent time with Great Granny and Great Popa. It's always so good to go see them and just relax and enjoy the time. They are all really excited for you to join the group and excited to find out if you are a girl or a boy. I guess I should say everyone is excited about that. I get asked several times a week when we are going back to the doctor.

Well that's all for this past week. I hope that soon I can share more of this experience with Daddy and that he can feel you kick soon. I know he is excited to experience that again.

Love,
Your 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...

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...
