15 weeks with Baby #2!

•How far along?: 15 weeks, 1 day

•Baby is the size of a: Avocado, 4-5 inches, 3-5oz.

•Total weight gain/loss: 3lbs as of 14 weeks, 5 days.

•The Bump: It's little but I can tell and so can E.J.....I think some others can too.  It's funny that it's popping out earlier this time:)

•Symptoms: Thank GOODNESS I'm starting to feel better!  That was one hell of a first trimester!  I mean, I know it could have been worse so I hate complaining but I definitely felt crappy for pretty much the entire time.  Now that I'm in the 2nd trimester I actually feel normal again:)

•Food Cravings: None that I can think of other than milk...and I like to drink a lot of that!

•Anything Making Me Queasy: The puppy pad (BLAHHHHH!), strong food smells (at restaurants etc), too much cologne/after shave and really anything STRONG smelling.  (Keeping this b/c it's the same as when I posted at 11 weeks)

•Sleep: Love

•What I miss: Having a flat stomach...lol. But I'll get it back:)

•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 on Jan 31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

•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: Still regular clothes so far!

•Best Moment of the Week:  It was a great week!!  E.J. and I celebrated our 15 New Years Eve together!  We cheered red grape juice this year...although it was the 2nd year in a row we've had to cheer grape juice...lol:)  For New Years I cooked 32 bunches of collards and my dad, pat, Apryl & her family came over to eat with us...It was nice:)  It's kinda our tradition!  My birthday was this week and E.J., Emil and I went to Longhorns for an early dinner and it was great:)  Over the weekend I went to dinner at Carrabas with my girlfriends for my birthday then my mom, Kenny & Nany came over the following day...too many great moments to pick from:)

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Taking down the Christmas decorations and starting to plan Emil's first bday:)

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...
