11 weeks with Baby #2!

•How far along?: 11 weeks 6 days

•Baby is the size of a: Large Plum 2.5in.

•Total weight gain/loss: Well, I started at 128 and I'm still there so none so far.... (as of my check up at 10 weeks 2 days)

•The Bump: Actually it's already starting to poke out a little....and my work pants are starting to feel snug! Ouch! (I always heard that the 2nd one pops out quicker so I kinda expected it though)

•Symptoms: STOP READING NOW if you don't want to hear about things that may be TMI....  You've been warned friends...you've been warned! lol:)  Okay, so where can I begin?  I have 9 months of different symptoms when I was pregnant with Emil but, no joke, I have pretty much all of those symptoms NOW but they're about 10x worse! lol  Wow.  Okay, so here's the list: Cramping (round ligament stretching and uterus growing), back pain, head ache, nausea, constipation, exhaustion, this weird thing were I need to pee really bad but can't (baby/uterus is pressing and blocking me from peeing....OMG, this is a REAL THING!), my sense of smell is OUT OF CONTROL (MEN: please simmer down on the cologne and after shave...lol) and I'm trying to think of the rest...maybe this is it?

•Food Cravings: Well, I've wanted just food...no particular craving that I can think of at this moment but I feel like I have had a couple...Too tired to think though.

•Anything Making Me Queasy: The puppy pad (BLAHHHHH!), strong food smells (at restaurants etc), too much cologne/after shave and really anything STRONG smelling.

•Sleep: Is very important....that is all.  But I don't always get as much as I'd like but it's all good.

•What I miss: At the moment..nothing.

•Weddings Rings: On

•Any Names Picked Out Yet: This one is going to be a hard one...not really sure....

•Gender Prediction: Well, E.J.'s already said it's definitely a boy so there ya have it.... lol.  But I guess we'll have to technically get that info towards the end of Jan/beginning of Feb.

•Labor Signs: Of course not...soooo early:)

•Movement: This is something I'm really looking forward to!  I loved feeling Emil wiggle around...it was awesome.

•Maternity Clothes: Well.....obviously as I said earlier I'm started to "show" a little bit.  I am; however, still in my regular clothes.  I think I'll be in them for a little bit longer...hopefully.

•Best Moment of the Week:  I went to Chicago this week Tues-today (Friday) so best moment was getting back and hugging my boys.

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I'm going to go short term with these.... I'm looking forward to hanging with the fam this weekend, getting caught up on work next week and then Emil's first Christmas:)  Announcing to the world that we're pregnant again:) and celebrating a New Year & my bday soon:)

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...
