Week 25...Hard to believe we only have 15 weeks left!

Week 25

Baby size: Cauliflower ---Really?  Of all things?!

How I feel about being pregnant: I've tried harder this week to just accept my belly.  It's not "cute" by any means but I'm enjoying it more!  Especially when I feel her kicking away :)    

(This shirt is very forgiving!! I love it!)  hehe

Symptoms:  Well, this ear infection is still sucking and I can't hear but I can't say that's a "symptom!"  Otherwise, I am learning why heat and pregnancy don't mix! haha.  Afternoon duty is a killer!

 Maternity clothes:  Obsessed with my Maxi skirts!  They are so comfortable and loose!  I recommend them for anyone who is pregnant!

 

Stretch marks: BLAH!  haha

Food Cravings: Fruit smoothies and back to Mexican!  I could seriously eat Mexican daily.  Oh and Wine....It's not a food, but to me it is!!  I've wanted nothing but a giant glass of wine!

 

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Put my feet up!  haha.  Trying not to "overdo" it.  It's hard with school right now, but I'm getting better!  I mean seriously, when someone tells you to sit down and put your feet it, its hard to say no! 

Funny moment:  I awoke the other night to Brandon holding my belly trying to feel Mackenzie...This was like 11pm (I had already been asleep at least 2 hours!).  Apparently I was cranky and told him to get off my belly.  He looked at me and said "She's my damn kid too ya know!"  I busted out laughing.  If y'all know Brandon, Mrs. Doubtfire tends to come out of him at times!  

 

What I miss:  WINE.......IEP season totally stinks without it!

 

What I'm looking forward to:  My first shower is next weekend with my favorite girls from Chandler Creek!!   I can't wait to see those ladies!   

 

Best Moment of the Week:  When Mom brought over the clothes she bought Mackenzie!  She gets so excited and so do I!  It's really cute!  She's gonna be an awesome Grandma!   

 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week:   When my feet were KILLING me earlier this week.  It was terrible!  I walked our school at least 20 times that day.  It was insane.  I fell asleep and 2 hours later I woke up and my feet still hurt!  Lesson learned! 

Week 24

Week 24

Baby size: A cantaloupe

How I feel about being pregnant: I love feeling her move!  I do not like my belly!  haha

Symptoms:  Allergies have hit me totally different this year and it stinks!  I'm so congested and can't sneeze!

 

Maternity clothes:  Starting to like my new wardrobe!  I'm working on "embracing" this new body of mine.

 

Stretch marks: yeah yeah...whatever!

Food Cravings: Fruit!  I make fruit smoothies for breakfast now which is a cup of fruit and a banana!  Of course, I am still eating my daily peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...I've also added Veggie Straws to my lunch :)

 

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Nothing this week, besides my doctor's appt.  BORING! 

Funny moment:  Most people put opera or classical music on their bellies once the babies can hear things....What does my loving hubby do?  He put "Teach Me How to Dougie" to my belly...I about died.

 

What I miss:  WINE.......It's probably really sad that I miss it so much, but a giant bottle of Moscato while Im sitting out on the patio is soooo amazing...

 

What I'm looking forward to:  Mom went shopping for Kenzie this weekend in Indiana!  I can't wait to see what she got her!  

 

Best Moment of the Week:  When I was able to take my mom with me to my Dr's appt.  She got to see Mackenzie because I needed another ultrasound so they could get her spine.  She was so excited.  It was great! 

 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week:  This was a boring week!  We didn't have anything to do this weekend, which was nice, but very boring!  We lounged around on the couch, which was fun, don't get me wrong...I know I'll miss it when she comes!  

Week 23

Week 23

Baby size: A grapefruit

How I feel about being pregnant: Not happy this week!  Blah! 

Symptoms:  Waking up at insane times and crazy dreams.

 

Maternity clothes:  Just getting fatter...I swear that's all it is!

 

Stretch marks: yeah yeah...whatever!

Food Cravings: Apples, oranges, grapes, and pop tarts here recently!  I could eat my Brown sugar and Cinnamon Pop Tart for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!

 

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  This week we finished the cornices for baby girls room!  Katie made 2 decorativepillows for the bed and a blanket for Miss Mackenzie too! 

(Don't worry, that bed spread is going goodbye!)

 

Funny moment: When she is beating the crap outta me!  Now I can feel it!  And she does it at like 3am!

 

What I miss:  I miss my clothes even remotely fitting!  Im struggling with this weight gain thing right now.

 

What I'm looking forward to:  The 17th still, so I can see her :)

 

Best Moment of the Week:When we finished the cornices, I had to go upstairs for something.  When I went up there, my mom had placed Mac's first glove in her crib that her and my dad bought.  I started balling my eyes out!   Softball was such an amazing time in my life and I hope Mac will love it as much as I did!

 

 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week:  Realizing my body is changing and there is nothing I can do about it! 

Week 22

Week 22

Baby size: A spaghetti squash

How I feel about being pregnant: I'm loving it this week! 

Symptoms:  3:00am dates this week....not the most fun, but whatever.

Maternity clothes:  Still the same...One day I will really look pregnant and not just like I'm getting fatter!

Stretch marks: yeah yeah...whatever!

Food Cravings: APPLES, APPLES, and APPLES....I even eat one before bed every night as my "snack." 

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Finished my registeries!  They were so fun but very overwhelming.  I'm very thankful for my friends that helped! 

Funny moment: These stupid dreams I am having!!  They are CRAZY weird!

What I miss:  wine...wine...and more wine...(I think I had a drinking problem before!  haha)
 

What I'm looking forward to:   On the 17th I get to go back for another ultrasound so they can see her spine.  She was flipping like crazy last time (thanks to OJ and peanut butter) so they couldn't capture her spine shot.  Im loving ultrasounds!
 

Best Moment of the Week: Well, it was Spring Break!  So, I did nothing!  haha.  However, this week I really started feeling this baby girl kick and move and flip!  It's been insane, but I love every time I feel her!  Today, I drank OJ just so I would feel her because she wasn't moving!  haha.  Brandon yells at me and tells me to stop bothering her....Boy does she have him wrapped around her finger and she isn't even born yet!
 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week:  These weird dreams that I keep waking up from!  They are driving me crazy!  Thank goodness I was on break this week and could sleep in later!
