21 weeks with Baby #2!

How am I already 21 weeks with our second child?  Boy, time is really flying.  I've been really busy lately with my hubby, little E, work and Bodyflow.  I feel like it's been nonstop...But I wouldn't change it.  I'd actually really like to have a special date night with E.J. soon...it's been a long time since we've gone out and I think it'd be nice to just spend some time together outside the house:)  Little E is growing and growing.  He's walking like crazy! Today he said "Ki-ki" for Kitty Kitty and actually pointed at the Kitty in the book when I asked where the Kitty was!  He's so smart:)  He also says "choo-choo" when the he hears the train outside.  Smart little angel baby....

Anyways, here's some updates on how things are going.


•How far along?: 21 weeks, 6 days

•Baby is the size of a: Spaghetti squash, 8in, 1lb.

•Total weight gain/loss: 10lbs as of 18 weeks, 5 days.  A little annoyed with this but okay....I knew when I was at the dr for my 18 week check up I had gained b/c my bump was much bigger.  I'm just trying to stay around the 25lb mark.  With little E I gained 26lbs so I'd really like to be there....  Fingers crossed!

•The Bump: It's here....Got here around 20 weeks.  I suck in to keep my stomach muscles in tact. My friends think I'm ridiculous...BUT I do it anyway. Lol...I did it with Emil sooooo........

•Symptoms: Other than the fact that I'm an unstable, emotional, psychotic maniac....  no symptoms.

•Food Cravings: None.

•Anything Making Me Queasy: Nope. Thank God.

•Sleep: Emil's going through a slightly rough patch...so I don't sleep all night.  I'm a little tired.  I need some sleep:)  But E.J.'s great at helping at all hours of the night so that is nice.  He's a great dad:)

•What I miss: Feeling sane...

•Weddings Rings: On

•Any Names Picked Out Yet: I really really like Elias...  E.J. liked it but right now he's iffy on it.  So, we'll see.

•Gender Prediction: B-O-Y!

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

•Movement: I feel him from time to time...little kicks or wiggles.  I can't wait til it's stronger.  It's my favorite thing about being pregnant.

•Maternity Clothes: Pants yes, some tops but most of my regular tops I can still wear.

•Best Moment of the Week:  Whew, this has been a WEEK.  Best moment was after a bad day all around when E.J. came home last night he just kissed me and said "I love you."  It was much needed...

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Announcing on fb (so silly) that we're pregnant with our 2nd baby boy:)

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...
