17 weeks

I17 weeks.

 

Truckin’ along. 

 

I am SO ready for our 20 week ultrasound.  I know there are still things that can come up after that but I’ll feel much better after they take a good, long look at these BOYS!!! ( still can't believe I get to say that!)

 

Again, I repeat: whoever said the second pregnancy flies by LIED.  It’s creepin’ to me. 

 

Size of babies:  around 5 inches and around 5 ounces. 

 

Size of mama:  Growing day by day. 

 Sorry for the awkward photo, forgot to take one like normal...



How I feel:  If I could get rid of this EVERLASTING head cold I would say 100%. But, I can’t.  I’ve been battling it off and on for almost a month and some days I get headaches so bad I want to cry.  Other days I’m perfectly fine.  It’s super annoying and I’m so tired of spending money on Sudafed or mucinex.  Ugh.  I really still feel great otherwise.  I do get tired/sore much quicker than normal….on Saturday we worked all day getting ready for Collins’ birthday party and I was definitely DONE by early evening…it just makes me nervous for how I will feel in 10 weeks or so.  Yikes.  I sleep pretty well for the most part, except for when I wake up from an awful headache or cough. 

 

I am in full swing NURSERY planning mode.  I have already ordered a rug and some fabric swatches so I can see them together and decide what I like.  I’m a pretty traditional/classic nursery girl, so the boys’ room will be light blues, creamy whites and khaki linen type colors. 

 

Happy Weekend!!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
