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

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...
