35 weeks...Baby #2!

Wow....how has it been 8 weeks since I blogged?!  Ugh...I'm terrible.  I've been thinking about updating things for...ummm...well, a few weeks now and just haven't been able to get around to it.  I'm either really busy or freakin' pooped!  Dang it.  Anyway, now here we are.  35 weeks and 3 days!  We only have 3 weeks and 6 days to go!  How has this pregnancy gone so quickly?  I feel like I've been pregnant for 100 years but then again I can't believe it's almost over.  And....no plans for baby #3 so this is it.....

Anyway, things have been going well.  Hubby is good...been busy.  He finished up soccer so now he's home more.  We've been good...happy:)  Which is always a good thing.  Our little guy is getting so big.  He's 16 months tomorrow!  I can't believe it...almost a year and a half!  Big boy.  He's absolutely precious and brings us so much joy.  We can't get enough of him.  We really have a lot of fun with him:)  We are really so lucky...blessed...

Well, I guess I'd better get to it...STATS!

•How far along?: 35wks, 3 days

•Baby is the size of a: Large cantelope: 19-22in. 5.5lbs

•Total weight gain/loss: I think it's 27lbs total as of last week when I was 34.5 weeks.  I'm annoyed I've already gained more than the 26lbs I gained with Emil but whatever.... I will lose it.  I will lose it.  Yes....I will lose it. Plus the Dr. said he doubts I gain much, if any, more. CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

•The Bump: Good Lord.  I feel huge but everybody says I'm small...I'm measuring (as I've already mentioned) big.  At 32 weeks I was measuring 35.  Who knows!  All I know is I'm glad I don't have much more time to go because I'm exhausted toting this belly around!

•Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions ALL THE DAMN TIME.  HOLY CRAP.  I could never go into labor... I'd die.  Hard time breathing, very little energy, incredibly uncomfortable, odd pressure, I think I had heart burn the other day?! and what else.....itchy?

•Food Cravings: Don't think I've had many... did want icecream the other day so we went on a family trip to DQ.

•Anything Making Me Queasy: Nope. Thank God.

•Sleep: My household has been sick, including me.  So, Emil was sick so I didn't sleep then I got sick so I didn't sleep then E.J. continued with being sick and so I didn't sleep.  It's getting better though so sleep is also getting better....  I'm looking forward to tonight.

•What I miss: Being skinny....feeling skinny....looking skinny. (AMEN....keeping this from my previous post.)
LOL...this makes me laugh just reading it.  This is the ONLY thing I miss...as much as I complain all the time about being pregnant I do actually kinda like it.  There are good and bad things..  I just verbalize the bad things an awful lot.  lol :):)

•Weddings Rings: On

•Any Names Picked Out Yet: Well, we decided on Elias Zoltan but now E.J. has decided he doesn't like Elias again...  So, we've talked about Joszef David.  Joszef is meaning "God will bring you a second son" which I love and David after my dad (and E.J.'s brother)...

•Gender Prediction: B-O-Y!

•Labor Signs: Thankfully none yet.  I'm SOO freaked out about going into labor early.

•Movement: It's my favorite thing about being pregnant BUT he's very persistent about poking me in the same spot...same as Emil actually.  But I keep thinking I'm going to get a bruise...lol.  It's all good though:)

•Maternity Clothes: Yes, to all of it.  Except I do wear regular maxi skirts.  These are basically all I wear out.  I'm uncomfortable in basically everything else.

•Best Moment of the Week:  E.J. told me today I was a really pretty pregnant girl.  Made me feel good.

•What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Selling the house in NJ.

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...
