20 weeks

I don't know why it turned out so blurry because it looked fine when I took it. Oh well, it takes too long to upload on this site so it will stay as my 20 week picture! I had my home visit yesterday with the MW and all is well....I am measuring one week ahead which is normal for all my babies and even the second ultrasound put myEDD at 3-8 but she is still going to keep me at 3/12-14. I gained 6 lbs this month putting me at 22 lbs, again, very normal for me! Actually that is less than my other 3 pregnancies so I celebrated with a milkshake :P

All in all I am really starting to feel human again, not so tired this week and just a little bit of crabby. I did return to the gym this week which seems to help give me a break for being a mom for awhile and just sweat! This weekend is going to be jam packed, thursday I am helping at the church, Friday J has a field trip, sat J's school is having a carnival, sat night we are doing John's birthday surprse getaway, Sunday morning I have to work in the church nursery, and Sunday is J's birthday party and also my mom's actual birthday! WHEW! This weekend every year is always a killer for me and my checking account. I did start Christmas shopping today and although my list is finished I still have a long way and hundreds of dollars to go to be done!

Gotta love a west coast Florida sunset!

J. and M. blowing bubbles at Tammy's wedding on the beach this last weekend.

A. pouting about something, not sure what!

Me and John taking a self portrait on the beach at sunset. It was a beautiful night and the perfect weather for a beach wedding.

19 weeks

I feel pregnant. Big fat no energy hungry all the time bitchy pregnant.ugh. Maybe because I haven't been to the gym in a week? Maybe because I crave bread all day long which always makes me sluggish? And of course I eat it. Does it sound like I am complaining? I really am enjoying this pregnancy, it just seems like I have crappy feeling days more than good days. I think these boy pregnancies are harder on my body. I always felt great with the girls of course I didn't know I was having girls but I was so happy with them.

18 weeks

Can you see it?!!! A penis!!!!!!!

We have a perfectly formed baby! All parts are in the right places and working as they should! And here is my belly today.





I was so nervous this morning and so afraid we would get cancelled or moved back or something would be wrong with the insurance....AND I had to pee soooooooooo bad! They were really only 20 behind but when you have to pee, that is a long time! The tech spent probably 30 minutes measuring everything and taking pictures and then asked if we cared about the gender. I had thought I saw a penis a couple of times but was thinking that was positive thinking and I was just wishing there was one! Sure enough she went between the legs and there it was, plain as day! I was so happy I started crying and if you know me, I don't cry about much but this was so overwhelming. I knew I wanted another boy but didn't realize I wanted one so badly. I had had a feeling since after A was born that I was meant to have another boy and now that premonition is coming true....I am beyond blessed :*)

I put M's tutu on A for the first time and she was in love! She left it on for an hour.

Definately a pop out this week!

17 weeks

I never took a 16 week picture so we are going straight for 17. We did get a date of Oct 11th for the ultrasound. John has to work that night so it works out. I did go to Old Navy today and got 2 dresses and a pair of pants for $14 each. they didn't have as much as I was hoping, and I don't like buying clothes online because of sizing so I am just gonna keep looking to build up my wardrobe.

Okay so blogger is having trouble with images right now so I'll try to insert the picture later.

16 weeks

I am now 16 weeks and Anne comes today for my prenatal....have I told you how wonderful it is to have someone come to MY house for an appt??!! The only thing I have to do is clean up a bit...no traffic, no childcare, no gas money wasted, no running to appt. and not missing picking up a kid at school! Plus, I can weigh myself first thing in the AM with no clothes on and then I just tell her! Hopefully today she can find the heartbeat with no problem. I know baby is okay because I feel a little thump here and there to let me know :) I will update with a pic after she leaves.

My day yesterday...wake up to A eating cat food in the kitchen, then go into the girls' room to see that the cat has thrown up on the carpet, I forgot to clean it up right away so next time I go into the room, I step on it, gross! That's what I get for not being on top of it. J wakes up with a fever so he stays home from school, M tells me she has a headache and her ear hurts so she stays home from school. Luckily I was getting my hair done yesterday so I did get a nice 2 hour break away while Bonnie watched them for me. Nice color, great cut. Get home finally and A takes a 3 hour nap and wakes up and throws up ALL evening long. Luckily I caugt every one into a towel so cleanup was quick. J takes a nap and he pees his bed so I have to strip his sheets in between throw ups from A. M's ear is still hurting so I have to keep putting drops into it. John cooked dinner last night since I was stuck on the couch holding A so we didn't eat until almost 7:30. All the kids went to bed easily so I was happy when we could sit down, do nothing and watch the Biggest Loser :)

Here is my 15 week picture. I was just so much heavier when I started my last 2 pregnancies that this doesn't even look pregnant to me!


I tried to scan my 15 week picture of A but my scanner is flipping out on me so maybe next week will work :)
