Oh Baby...

22 weeks

How far along: 22+ weeks
Weight gain/loss: 0. I was at +3 but then I got a virus...and then morning sickness came back. yay. Not worried though...I am healthy and baby is definitely growing big

see big belly. This was when he was having a party in my belly and pushing everything out.

 

Maternity clothes: Always. Even though I tried on a pair of size 12 jeans that I wore after Emma was born and they still fell off of me. Still loving the maternity leggings. Glorious.

Movement: All the time. He is going to be a brat...I can tell. If his space gets pushed on by anything (pants, Emma snuggling, David giving me a hug...) he pushes back. He also enjoys waking up at 3am to get himself comfortable...then snuggles back down to sleep...and I am awake for the next two hours. ugh.

Sleep: I am exhausted. Between the 3am Danny wake up calls and my heart making me dizzy by the end of the day I am ready for bed.

Cravings: Mayonnaise. I could eat it with a spoon but since David thinks that is disgusting I usually make turkey and mayonnaise sandwiches aka...dipping turkey in mayonnaise. Also peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. and raisins. and chocolate covered pretzels. But mainly mayonnaise.

Aversions: smoking meat. Bleh, so gross :)

What I miss: sleep, and energy

*David was my photographer :)



oh baby

18 weeks

How far along: 18 weeks (almost halfway woot!)
Weight gain/loss: nothing...even though I tried.

see. I'm trying.
Maternity clothes: mainly smalls and mediums. I can no longer fit in normal clothes. (well, I can but it is not pretty and after 20 minutes of something digging into my stomach I hurl) Still in love with the maternity leggings... I dream of them. glorious.
Gender: penis baby
Movement: still occasional. Some nights after dinner he thinks it's party time. He also hates when I make sudden movements or laugh too loud...for such a little guy he can really put all 7 oz behind those kicks.
Sleep: I could sleep all day long. I am exhausted and can feel my brain turn off during the middle of the day.
Cravings: still nothing. David stopped his cravings for our vacation last week...but when we got back...

We bought the right two jars yesterday...yesterday afternoon...the one on the left is from before we left. You can't throw the empty jars away until he drinks the liquid *gag*
*vomit
Aversions: the smell of meat smoking and pepperoncini's :)
What I miss: clothes and energy

AND because she is adorable in everyway...

the joys

I'm baaaaaaaack! Hello blog form world. You have been missed

and I am pregnant.

How, you might ask, does me being pregnant relate to not blogging? Well, I fail at secrets. Not all of the time and usually not on purpose...its just the information diarrhea of the mouth I tend to get when excited.

We (hubs and I) did have good reasons for not spilling about the little bean...the unknown, the miscarriages (the last of which tried to kill me back in January), and the overall bad juju in telling people before the second trimester...but I forgot those about three days after a the pee dried on the stick. But David was adamant. So here we are, 15 weeks+ into this pregnancy and I am telling the world.

Bring it juju.

 

awww. Just a little itty-bitty bean at 6 weeks.

   15 weeks

How many weeks: 15 weeks 3 days
Weight gain/loss: -1lb. But I am on the rebound! I was down 7lbs but didn't quite reach the -10lbs that I was when pregnant with EmmaLee. woot.
Maternity Clothes: I am tryyyyyyying to squeeze into non-maternity clothes but my size 8 booty/hips are no longer existent. So long until sometime in 2014 pants! Hello skirts, and yoga pants, and this glorious pair of maternity leggings my sister sent. o-m-g.
Gender: I hope it has a penis but boys are not formed for the female side of my sibling population. I may or may not punch the first brother of mine who mentions this fact when we visit Oklahoma next week. Greg, James: you have been warned.
Sleep: by 6pm I feel like death. I usually pass out by 9pm. But...I have been waking up in the middle of the night almost every night and have to fight to go back to sleep. This didn't happen while pregnant with Emma....hope that doesn't mean this kid will be up at 3am most nights.
Movement: little flutters now and then. Although two days ago I yawned and got smacked pretty hard by something from the inside.
Cravings: nothing really yet. Some weeks I like some things, then for others it sounds awful. David, on the other hand, has been eating banana peppers and pickles like the world is ending. I wish I would of counted how many jars he went through these past three months. When I brought this to his attention he stopped buying so many...he is just pregnant too :)
What I Miss: clothes that fit and energy.

These past three month have been filled with morning sickness and moodiness. I find that this pregnancy I am one of the grouchiest people in the world. So if you see my husband, smile at him, and tell him he is doing a fantastic job. The poor man. I hope my sour mood isn't a warning about what is to come...a grouchy baby who doesn't sleep. dun dun duuuun.

Poop

literally.

My day today has been filled with it.

If you have just eaten...do not read.

When Emma woke up this morning she pooped. Didn't hear a word over the baby monitor. No cries, No whimpers, No "Momma poopoos".

NOTHING.

What does my daughter do with this poop? she scoops it out of her diaper and throws it out of the crib because my daughter doesn't like to be dirty. Correction my daughter HATES being dirty. So she gets rid of her poop by tossing it around the room leaving her diaper empty and her bum surprisingly pretty clean.

This is the point were I mention my daughter hasn't pooped in four, yes FOUR, days.

So when my daughter calls me to get her I walk in her room to find four days worth of globbed up poop scattered around her floor. in the book case. in her closet. in her pillow.

my daughter tells me she needs to wash her hands

and then rubs them through her hair.

the joys.

then sucks the pile off the plate

or

she just pours everything into her mouth
