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? 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...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
