19 weeks 5 days :)

So it's been a while since I've made a post.  My life has been crazy busy!  We found out what the baby is this week! :) I can't wait to meet little Remington Paul! :)

Baby Survey! :)

How far along? 19 Weeks 5 Days!

Total weight gain/loss: about 5 pounds

Sleep: I feel like all I do besides work is sleep.

Interesting Dreams- I sleep too hard to remember my dreams if I do dream. haha

Best moment this week: finding out that little Remi is on his way!

Worst moment this week: I'd rather not say.

Movement: all the time now! I love feeling his tiny little kicks, and watching my belly button move in and out!

Symptoms:movement, dry flakey skin on my boobies and belly,

 Food cravings: Nothing so much lately.

Food aversions:  umm nothing really

 
Gender Prediction: It's a boy!

Labor Signs:none

Belly Button in/ out: it depends on what little Remi is doing. Sometimes it's wayyy in and sometimes it's wayyy out. :)

What I miss: Freedom. Having a life. But that isn't due to Remi. That is due to my career. lol However, I am feeling much more motivated than my last post. I love my kiddos!

I am ashamed to admit it, but sometimes the vanity in me misses my nice little flat tummy, but I would definitely not trade that for my sweet baby!
What I am looking forward to: Thanksgiving so I can see my Mama!
Weekly Wisdom:
Appreciate what you have while you have it.

17 Weeks :)

Baby Survey! :)

How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: about 5 pounds

Sleep: Could always use more, but I guess I get enough! :)

Interesting Dreams- Crazy depressing dreams about my family- Not my happiest nights of sleep. No baby dreams lately though.

Best moment this week: Being able to see exactly where my baby is in my belly now. :)

Worst moment this week: Realizing that teaching may not be my calling, because it's horribly overwhelming and depressing and I may not be that good at it. Blugh!

Movement: I keep waiting, but I can't feel it yet. However I can tell where it's at based on my lopsided belly and how high it is sitting.

Symptoms:exhaustion- both mental and physical.

 Food cravings: Nothing so much lately.

Food aversions:  umm nothing really

 
Gender Prediction: Girl. Boy. Girl. Boy. Girl. Boy. lol

Labor Signs:none

Belly Button in/ out: in the middle. lol still in, but I don't know how long that will last.

What I miss: caffeine. so so much. and being able to wear anything in my closet. that was nice. lol

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what the baby is in 2 1/2 weeks! :)

Pretty much sums it up. :)

16 weeks 1 Day

 So, I'm two weeks late on my post, but I went through a devastating tragedy last weekend. My Papa passed away suddenly from a ruptured colon.  He was 76.  He had a lung transplant 2 1/2 years ago, and the medicine he was on weakened his tissue.  I feel blessed that I had such an amazing man in my life for an as long as I did.  I was blessed with him next door almost all of my childhood.  I was blessed with him at my college graduation, and I was blessed to have him bless my marriage at my wedding.  It was one of the hardest things I have ever lived through to have to hug him in his coffin and walk away, knowing I would never see him again.  It reminded me so much of when my brother passed away when I was 11.  I would write more details of the day he died, but it is very hard for me, and I know that day will stay with me forever.  Papa wasn't just a grandfather, but was like a 2nd father to me.  A man that influenced the person I have become.  I'm not sure I'd be a teacher if it wasn't for him.  Rest in peace Papa.  I cannot wait to see you again.

On a happier note, I am 16 weeks 1 day, and tomorrow I get to go to the doctor! Hopefully I'll find out the gender in 4 weeks! :)

Baby Survey! :)

Total weight gain/loss: not sure

Sleep:I've actually gotten more energy, so I'm not passing out at 8:30 every night. :)

Interesting Dreams- I've had some weird dreams about my family. No baby dreams as of late.

Best moment this week: umm coming back from being gone for 4 days off work after Papa passed away to school and having all my kids let me know how much they missed me, and all wrote me sympathy cards. :) That and seeing my belly pop out all lopsided. :)

Worst moment this week: Saying Goodbye to my Papa.

Movement: Baby's moving, mommy just can't feel it yet!

Symptoms:Still morning sickness, some food cravings, body breakouts- ugh, belly poking out! :)

 Food cravings: Chocolate Milk. :)

Food aversions:  Chicken. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat chicken again.
