Bumpdate: Week 19




How Far along: 19 weeks

Baby's size: A mango!

Weight loss/gain: I've gained about 2 lbs back, which I guess is okay, but I don't want them packing on too quickly.  All the Christmas custard I've been drinking has helped I believe! Haha.

Sleep: Actually a little better since being on Christmas break.  I think I'm not as stressed and know I can sleep in, so it's been pretty good.

Gender: What to say about this?  I don't know exactly what our plans are, but I suppose I'll eventually have to figure something out since our anatomy scan is kind of soon!

Movement: I can finally say I feel baby.  There's just no mistaking the itty bitty movements.  It is not very often, and so very light, but I feel Shim.  It's exciting, but I wish it was a lot stronger so Zach could feel it as well.

Best Moment of this week: Christmas, feeling Shim and being sure about it, and being off work!

Looking Forward: The rest of my time off, seeing all our family, and getting to hang out with Zach and Nellie girl. Oh, and seeing Shim next week!

Food cravings: Nothing really, just eating all kinds of different Christmas candy!

Weirdest Food I ate last week: Not a thing.  I'm just trying to eat.

Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nope, and I am very happy about this!

Symptoms:  My lower back will hurt from time to time, especially after a long day of standing at school.  Other than that I can't complain! : )

Workouts: Non-existent.  I am so not proud of this.

What I miss: Not much this week! 

Things that stink: Nothing!

Things that don't stink: Christmas AND being 19 weeks the same day.  We had a wonderful Christmas that will get its own post of course!

Mama's Thoughts: I love Christmas, and it was definitely weird to think yesterday that we'll have a 7 month old a year from now.  Also bittersweet to think this is our last year as a family of 3, but much more sweet I think!

Daddy's Thoughts: Zach keeps telling Shim to really move and kick so he can feel it.  He still likes to lay and talk to Shim, which is the sweetest thing ever!  He can't wait until next week to see Shim!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )




























For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : ))   Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up!     Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!




























How Far along: 41 weeks.     Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!)   Weight         loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!)   Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom.   Gender: B-O-Y   Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.    Best              Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway!   Looking           Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders.   Food   cravings: Still pineapple!  ...

Valentine's Weekend




























Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend!  On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!)  Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection!  After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair!  It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful!  He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true!  Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns!  As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos."  Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies!  We saw "When ...
