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

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...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
