.22 Weeks.

I feel more like I am 36 weeks.

My back hurts ALL the time. I reach my level of exhaustion WAY sooner than I would like. My patience wears WAY too thin some days. Hormones...I WANT MY BODY BACK!!!

Now on to the good stuff :)

I can feel Baby Boy kicking and moving around ALL the time!! I absolutely love it. He usually wakes up at about 7am every morning as Aaron is climbing out of bed to head to work.

The other morning, Aaron laid in bed with me for a few extra minutes just to feel our little guy kicking and moving around. I hope it made his morning the way it makes mine every single day.

It seems like the weeks are just flying by. I don't think I will be able to believe it has actually been 9 months when the time comes to meet this little one.

.20 Weeks.

There it is...my belly at the halfway mark!!

That's also a baby BOY in there!!!

I am SO excited I feel like I could go around telling complete strangers that we are having a baby boy.

Don't worry, I haven't done that...nor do I plan on doing that. 

It seems that when you are obviously pregnant, people ask you enough what you are having and when you are due. 

Baby Boy looked great at the ultrasound. He is measuring exactly with the dates we originally had.

I went in to the ultrasound 19 weeks and 6 days along...and left the ultrasound with baby measuring at 19 weeks and 6 days. He is weighing in at 11 ounces.

Yes, we do have a name picked out. We have told family the name, but we aren't planning on sharing it with everyone else until he arrives. That part will just have to remain a surprise. :)

.18 Weeks.

                Well...this baby definitely has grown a lot in the past 2 weeks.

I am still feeling the same as I was 2 weeks ago. 

Not really having any cravings, just feeling big. Starting to feel a little fat! :)

I am still eating normally, not a lot of sweets. I do have dessert once or twice a week. I haven't been as hungry at night before bed lately. I think my body is starting to adjust to pregnancy pretty well. 

This morning, while laying in bed, I was laying next to Aaron and put his hand on my belly. The baby hadn't been kicking or anything, but it kicked Aaron's hand as soon as I had put it on there. Must have known Daddy was there. :)

My fears of having 3 kids come and go by the day. Some days I wonder "How in the heck do people with 3 kids leave the house?" ... those days tend to be the days that the girls are living up to their nickname of

 "Mommy's Little Monsters"

We find out what we are having on the 14th! 

What do you think?

Girl?

or

Boy?

                  

.It's A Mystery.

Well....I wish I had different news...

The baby was cooperating..in a sense. It was kicking like crazy and I even felt it's kicks while I was seeing them on ultrasound. So, it looks like I was wrong about the baby maybe being A LOT more mellow than Lily. I am pretty sure baby #3 will be another ninja in the making.

The baby parts weren't really visible enough for a definitive answer as to the gender of the baby. March 18th we should have a DEFINITE answer as to what this baby is. 

Until then...we shall all wait in suspense.

.16 Weeks.

(Please excuse my dirty mirror)

.16 Weeks.

My belly really hasn't changed much in the past 2 weeks...via pictures at least. I guess I am actually starting to "look" pregnant now, as my brother in law Tenney pointed out the other night. :)

I feel great! I have random moments of exhaustion that hit me out of nowhere, but that is the worst complaint I have. I don't really feel pregnant, except for the obvious growing belly. I am enjoying the fact that I have enough energy to get my house back in order AND enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having.

Tomorrow is another Dr. appointment. I am PRAYING the suspense will end and that we will find out if this baby is a boy or a girl. I seriously need to start mentally preparing now for either one. Brookie has told me that the baby is a girl baby and she won't even consider the fact that it could be a boy. I know she will love the baby either way. 

She LOVES babies and will point out how cute ANY baby is that we see. 

She LOVES commercials with babies on them and makes sure that I am looking and watching them with her when they are on. 

She asks me almost daily if she can feel the baby kick yet. I feel bad having to keep telling her that it will be a few more weeks before she can feel it. I mean, even I am still waiting to feel the baby kick and not wonder if I really just felt that little flutter inside my tummy.

That's one thing I didn't expect to STILL be wondering with this being baby #3. I always 2nd guess myself when I feel a little flutter/kick in my tummy. So I have yet to say to anyone, but my husband, that I have felt the baby kick. I remember feeling Lily kick at 15 weeks...and she turned into quite the little ninja in there. Here's to wishful thinking this kid might just be A LOT more mellow than Lily. ;)

Cross your fingers that baby AND Dr. cooperate tomorrow and we get to find out what this little baby inside of me is going to be!!

.Baby Dr. Appt.

Tomorrow is another Dr. appointment for Baby #3!!

I was told at my last appointment they would be measuring baby again, via ultrasound, to verify my due date.

Here's to hoping we can find out what we are having!! Cross your fingers!! 

.14 Weeks.

The past week has been pretty awesome.

My morning sickness has been 100% gone since last Sunday.

My energy level went from 0 - 100 almost overnight.

My house is finally not a COMPLETE disaster area...the laundry is still not under control, but is it really ever under control?

Dinners have been more creative and I have started to enjoy eating again, some days a little too much.

I still prefer real food over any sort of junk food. I would rather have left overs from dinner than a bowl of ice cream for dessert.

I can get through most days without a nap, unless I have really pushed myself. Then it is almost necessary.

Bedtime is my favorite time of day. I love cuddling up in bed with my girls and falling asleep. (Daddy moves them to their beds when he comes in to bed. We got used to the fact that we don't get much alone time a long time ago.)
