17 weeks with Baby #2!

Hello!  I can't believe I'm already 17 weeks pregnant!  This just blows my mind....I feel like I was just finding out I was pregnant with Emil and now we're almost half way done with baby #2:)  I'm thankfully feeling really good these days!  So glad to be out of that first horrible trimester as I've probably said.  The second trimester is always fun...you're not big yet and you feel better than before you got pregnant (for the most part)!  It's neat b/c now when I lay down on my back I can feel my uterus and see/feel that the baby is growing.

Other than baby stuff things are pretty good.  Little E is growing up so much!  He'll be one in about 10 days and I am excited about his birthday!  I can't believe he's going to be 1 already.  He's so much fun.  He is into so much, walking (mostly with assistance), talking, playing etc.  He cracks me up...laughing and smiling...he's absolutely precious!  He's the cutest little boy ever! lol :)  Anyway, I guess I'll get to the stats for New-B:)

•How far along?: 17 weeks, 1 day

•Baby is the size of a: Sweet Potato, 5.5 & 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: I can't think of any at this moment, which is a good thing!  Oh, wait....just remember!  I've got pregnancy brain again...it's so annoying!  I feel like I just got my brain back and now it's gone!  Dang it.

•Food Cravings: None that I can think of really (at the moment...but there probably are some).

•Anything Making Me Queasy: Really nothing right now! Yay!

•Sleep: Love

•What I miss: Having a flat stomach...lol. But I'll get it back:) (Keeping this one from 15 weeks....I definitely will enjoy this pregnancy but I'm already looking forward to getting my pre-pregnancy figure back!)

•Weddings Rings: On

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

•Gender Prediction: We find out on the 31st so about 12 days to go.  I really don't know!  E.J. says boy and he's probably right but this time I just don't have that strong feeling like I did with Emil.

•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:  Well, I had a really nice afternoon today because we went to Longhorns for E.J.'s bday dinner since he'll be coaching Tuesday night:)  Also, work was really good and that is always a good thing:)

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Finding out what this little baby is...boy or girl, I think I'll be excited:)

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...
