18 weeks...And it's a...........

Whew, this week has flown by!  I can't believe it's Sunday night:)  It's been quite the eventful week...I taught bodyflow 3 times, E.J. had two football games (1 Thursday night & the BIG RIVAL GAME was Friday night), went to a friends babyshower, sang at church with my mom, went to my Nany's 83rd birthday party and the most special moment was.....we found out what Baby Kukoly is going to be:)  So....here goes!





•How far along?: 18 weeks, 6 days (getting close to the half way point!!!)

•Baby is the size of a: Mango, 6 inches

•Total weight gain/loss: Up 6lbs! Went to the Dr. at 18 weeks, 2 days.  Dr. said I'm doing great and that I could gain a little but overall I was doing a really good job with weight gain...YAY!:)

•The Bump: YEP! It's here...officially! 

•Symptoms: I don't have anything severe but I just need to eat about every two hours.  It's pretty serious! lol

•Food Cravings: None yet, I'm still waiting:)

•Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: This week I haven't felt queasy at all, thank God!

•Sleep: Yes, please! That's also pretty important and right now, especially after this week, I'm worn out!

•What I miss: Nothing! Strange but I really don't miss anything right now:)

•Weddings Rings On or Off: On

•Any Names Picked Out Yet: YEP, check that one off our list!

•Gender Prediction: Baby Kukoly is a BOY!!!!!!  Can I say "We told you so?"  We're sooo excited to welcome baby Emil:)

•Movement: Okay, so I think so...it's like goldfish swimming around in my belly.

•Maternity Clothes: Well, I wore my new Old Navy maternity jeans today and they're super cute!  I love them and you can't tell they're maternity! Other than that...still in my regular clothes!

•Labor Signs: None.

•Best Moment of the Week: Seeing our sweet boy on the monitor at the Dr's office and finding out that he's a HE!  Spending that time with E.J. and just enjoying the moment...it was a great day! :)

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I'm pretty content right now but I am looking forward to getting the guest bedroom cleaned out and turned into the baby's room...but that will be a while!

25 weeks...Oh Baby:)

Well, I must admit I've gotten really bad at doing my blog!  I've forgotten the last two weeks...so I'm posting a day late but hey...I'm posting!  So, happy 25 week mark!  This past week was a really good week!  We worked around the house, got our new flooring in (YAY!), carved pumpkins and I had a good work week, which just topped everything off!  I worked in the baby's room and have a bunch of stuff boxed up now and ready for storage, things are coming along!  Happy Halloween!!!:)  It's our first year not going crazy with decorations but we're still going to dress up, scare kids & pass out candy:)  Should be a good time! •How far along?: 25 weeks! •Baby is the size of a: Large Eggplant, 2lbs •Total weight gain/loss: 14lbs. at 22+2 •The Bump: Everybody loves it...they're drawn to it:) •Symptoms: Thankfully this week my only symptom has been my bump and the movement inside it:)  My emotions have simmered down...Praise ...

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...
