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

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
