Oh Baby...16 weeks!


Happy Sunday! This week certainly has flown by and I am starting to think about all the stuff that really does need to get done, and soon!!! I've started cleaning out the guest bedroom, since that will become the baby's room, but it doesn't even look like there's been any progress made. Talk about a FULL room! I'm hoping we can sell the furniture in there but I still need to get pics to put online, maybe that will happen by next weekend. We'll see. Other than that things are going well and I'm somewhat happy that time's flown by because as of today we only have 10 days until we find out what our little miracle is! I can't wait!! I feel like once I know what the baby is I will really get on top of my to do list:)


Baby Kukoly is the size of a turnip now...Thankfully a friend of mine isn't that much further along than me and had posted what a turnip looked like a couple weeks ago:)









  • How far along?: 16 weeks, 6 days




  • Baby is the size of a: Turnip, see above




  • Total weight gain/loss: Still only weighing at the Dr.'s office. I just don't feel like obsessing and weighing every day or even week...I got away from doing that YEARS ago. So, last weigh in I was up 2.8lbs (that was at 13 weeks, 4 days)




  • The Bump: It's growing a tiny bit...I can't see much of a difference when I'm standing up but when I'm laying down I can see it more. My mom had told me when she was pregnant that her favorite thing was to lay on her back to feel the baby's (us!:)) more. Well, she's right. It's a completely different feeling when I lay on my back vs when I'm standing...things poke out WAY more!




  • Symptoms: I still have the growy, stretchy, pully type ligament pains but really this week that was it. It's funny b/c I really feel pretty normal.




  • Food Cravings: None yet!




  • Sleep: Well, last night I slept like crap, up every single hour on the hour! I think it's because I was completely worthless yesterday and laid on the couch from the minute I got home from Bodyflow til the moment I went and got in bed. Other than that...I'm getting some energy back so I think my sleep cycle is getting to be pretty normal again.




  • What I miss: Well, this week I've been practicing for my new Bodyflow release so I've focused on choreography a bunch. I'd have to say this week (ONLY b/c my headaches haven't reared their ugly head) I miss being able to do my bodyflow 100%. I'm making modifications and it's so strange...I can't lay on my stomach soooooo that I miss.




  • Weddings Rings On or Off: On






  • Any Names Picked Out Yet: In the same boat as last week and that probably won't change until we find out what the sex is. Yep, on the boys name and Sorta on the girls name...



  • Gender Prediction: We both still think it's a boy or rather I should say E.J. BELIEVES it's a boy. I really think we'll both be pretty surprised if it's a girl....10 days, 10 days, 10 days!!!




  • Movement: This week I'm not really sure...which makes me question if I felt anything before. Being new to pregnancy you don't really know what to "feel" for so I don't know. I feel like I feel something but I don't know. It'll be nice to really feel it and KNOW for sure that's what it is:)




  • Maternity Clothes: No, BUT, I did got visit an old friend this week that just had her little girl a few weeks ago and she gave me some maternity clothes to borrow for when I need them.




  • Labor Signs: None.




  • Best Moment of the Week: When I visited my old friend I got to hold her little girl. It was such an amazing moment for me because it really made me realize we were going to have our own little one in about 5 months. She was so tiny and precious...it was very surreal...




  • What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Knowing what the baby is....I'm counting down, I'm so ready! Please hurry September 5, PLEASE!

Something worth Celebrating!

Well, as it happens to most families with young children that start school, our family got the sick bug. We've all had it but Ritter is the OG, the one who contacted the cold and shared it with the rest of us. I started feeling bad Friday and am finally feeling better, almost like my normal self, TODAY! So, I celebrate! Seriously, why not? I am a working mom! I'm running an entire household and I've been sick! That is NO FUN! Like, none. And, sidenote, I think mom's shouldn't be allowed to get sick. Just sayin'. I celebrate because I have felt terrible the last few days (and, as most moms do, felt terrible that I felt terrible- which is annoying- why do we do that?!) and NOW- FINALLY- I'm feeling better! Good enough to refocus on my schedule, goals and recognize all that I can accomplish! Yes! I celebrate.  But why do I share this with you? Well, because I feel like, as women, we mostly are getting on to ourselves, putting ourselves down, feeling guilt...

Simply happy.....

Over the past year we have worked really hard to make things happen.... I am feeling so accomplished at this time because things are really starting to pan out. This is a great feeling... Not only that but I have really grown to realize over the past few years how incredibly blessed I am. I have always been a very thankful person but as I grow older I become even more thankful... I have an absolutely amazing husband. He loves me so much....I know that. I'm really lucky to have him in my life... I know he will always stand beside me and love me with all his heart. I have a wonderful family... there are so many people in my family and not many people can say that. They are all really great people and I love the close bond that we share... I am so blessed...yet again. Finally, I have great friends. They are loving, caring people. Although I have been extremely busy this summer and haven't been able to spend as much time with them we still are close and I love them al...
