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

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 ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
