22 Week Bumpdate


Dear Baby Pilot,

It has been a crazy morning. I have been trying to sit down and write this for several hours today, not including the time I wanted to write this weekend. But here I am finally able to sit and write. 

First, I want to tell you that you just might be a trouble maker when you get here. For the past several days every time Rex comes and cuddles next to me you start kicking at him. He can't feel it yet but I know that he will in the next few weeks. Your kicking very strong and I'm surprised that Daddy hasn't been able to feel you. Hopefully, very soon. We are all excited to have that experience again.

This week I'm 22 weeks! It's coming along pretty quickly. Not compared to your brother but everyone says pregnancy goes so slow and this one just seems to be cruising along. I'm more than half way now and it seems like before we know it you will be here to join us.
I'm now big enough that strangers are not afraid to talk to me about my pregnancy. I haven't gained much more weight, however I'm not weighing myself at home just when I visit the midwife. I'm still in maternity pants like I have been for months now but most of my shirts still fit well. I can tell that it will only be another couple of months before they won't fit well anymore. Hopefully I will be able to find some cute maternity summer tops to wear by then. Thank goodness that I haven't had any new stretch marks. I have enough from Rex. 

Sleeping is all over the place. Some days I sleep great (for being pregnant) and other times I can't sleep at all. I have been feeling extra sleepy during the day and Rex is enjoying the extra movie time while I lay and rest. I feel like a bad mommy letting him watch so much TV but I know that in order to be a good mommy to you I have to get the rest I need. Last night was actually a great night sleep and I didn't even hear Daddy's alarm go off. It was a good morning.

You are moving like crazy as I said above. You try and kick your brother when he is cuddling with me, you kick at my pants when they get to tight around you, and you move around and party in the middle of the night. You wake me up with all the movement at least once a night. 

I'm still not having any real food cravings. Things will sound really good but I can live without them if I want to. The one thing that sounds good that I give into is Fruit Loops. I don't know why but they just taste so good. I limit them to a bowl every other day because they aren't healthy for me or you. 

I'm really excited to see how this week goes. We have some crazy things coming up and it is making me a little stressed. I'm trying to just relax and rely on God to carry us through this crazy time once again. We have our next midwife and ultrasound appointment on April 5th. We get to see you again because you were a stinker and wouldn't let them get the measurements they needed on your heart.

I'm so glad that you seem very healthy and that I get to feel you move all over the place!

Love,
Your 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?

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...
