Bumpdate: Week 24


How Far along: 24 weeks

Baby's size: Cantaloupe (Mama and Daddy both love this fruit!)

Weight loss/gain:

Sleep: I'm doing a little better at getting back to sleep after my nightly bathroom break.

Gender: B-O-Y

Movement:  Moving, but I feel like I haven't felt him a whole lot!  I'm guessing his positioning has changed somewhat.

Best Moment of this week: When Zach got to feel him moving again!  Bringing the crib home! (My parents had been storing it for us!)  Tearing up some of our carpet, and looking at houses!! : )  Lots of excitement!

Looking Forward:  Looking at another house this weekend.  Hopefully getting to sleep in!  Thinking more about baby's room and putting the crib together once we get a couple screws that are missing!

Food cravings: Reese's!  My sweet husband shared his from Christmas once I polished mine off, and then I decimated his.  Good thing he loves me! 

Weirdest Food I ate last week: Nothing!

Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nope! Thank goodness! : )

Symptoms: My hips are starting to hurt, and I don't know if it's because they're being more stressed or just because I sleep on my side at night.  A good symptom I've been meaning to mention is that my hair stays cleaner longer.  I can wash it every 2 days instead of of every day, which is what I've had to do since I was like 12.  It's an awesome perk not to be a grease pit! : )

Workouts: Does work count as a workout? I stand and walk around for 8 hours!  If it's not, it's starting to feel like one!

What I miss: College, where I could sleep in and not work! (Even though I did work, it was part time!)  Other than the lovely lack of responsibility, I don't miss much.  I don't feel like this pregnancy deprives me of anything.  It's nothing but a blessing and gift, and again, I don't want to take it for granted!

Things that stink: Waking up early all the time! It's wearing me out! (Ditto this again this week.  It just gets harder and harder to make myself get out of bed each morning.  I seriously need spring break, but sadly it's waaaaay too soon to start counting down to that yet!)

Things that don't stink:We made our reservations for Valentine's Day supper the other night.  I knew that I wanted to do something special since it's our last one without a child! I can't wait to get dressed up and go out with my sweet husband!

Mama's Thoughts: I feel like I finally look pregnant enough to not be deemed "just fat" by a stranger on the street.  One of my eighth graders this week said to me "Mrs. Scheller, your belly... I just want to poke it!!" So, I guess they agree the bump is growing!  I did decline her offer, though!

Daddy's Thoughts: Zach is excited at the thought that we could possibly move before or soon after baby is born.  He also can't wait to be on the other side of the bridge so he doesn't have to cross it everyday! 

Baby: He doesn't seem to be moving tons, so I'm guessing he's spending a lot of time sleeping.  Also, I wonder if he's turned in where I can't feel his arms/legs as much.  I think he's good in there, though! : )

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!
