24 weeks with baby #2!

Well, I certainly have been busy lately.  I feel bad I don't put forth the time to do my blog with this pregnancy like I did with Emil.  I really love doing the blog but I have lots going on:)  Family life has been good and so has work.  The weather is starting to get nice so I've been spending a lot of time outside with Emil.  He loves to run around and play outside.  I remember last summer when he was so little and I was telling him how this summer he'd be running around and now that he is it's a little surreal... He is so much fun.  We are just so in love with him. Still can't believe he'll be a big brother.  BUT he'll always been my baby! :)  Anyway, here's some updates....

•How far along?: 24 weeks, 1 days

•Baby is the size of a: Ear of corn, 8.5in, 1.5lbs

•Total weight gain/loss: 13.3lbs....  Yes, I'm exact.  PRAYING I stay at a total of 25lbs.... PRAYING!

•The Bump: It is growing so much.  I feel like it was a magic trick...one moment it wasn't here and the next BOOM!  Anyway, it's absolutely obvious that I'm pregnant.  Officially out of the FAT looking stage.

•Symptoms: I feel like I'm already getting compact in my lung area and that kinda stinks.  I'm not sure if it's pregnancy related or not but I want unhealthy, crappy, sugary food.... Ugh.

•Food Cravings: See above.....

•Anything Making Me Queasy: Nope. Thank God.

•Sleep: Actually it's been pretty good the last few days. But that can change quickly so hopefully this stretch of good sleep will just continue.  Emil just got a new tooth and that caused some problems but I'm giving him a little advil right before bed and I think that's been helping with the aching...poor little angel.

•What I miss: Being skinny....feeling skinny....looking skinny.

•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: Yep...I can feel this little guy now quite often and I love that.  It's still not really strong moves but it's very clearly him.  Some movement is stronger than others though:)  Love it.

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

•Best Moment of the Week:  Anytime I come home and seeing my sweet boys and the smiles on their faces:)

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Not really sure right now....all I can think of is getting skinny again...lol.  But that's not a good answer:)

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...
