19 Weeks

I am feeling the baby kick a lot at night now. We find out what we are having on Wednesday, I am so excited to find out. I have my idea now of what I think the baby is. I am pretty sure it is a boy, I would be a bit surprised if it wasn't. Either way, it's always my favorite day; finding out what we are having. I am always nervous for the ultrasound, just because of our history, but it will be nice to have James and the kids there this time. They are all so excited to find out what the baby will be, especially James Micheal. This week has been nice and busy, and I am glad I am half way done! The picture is of me at 19 weeks 5 Days, I have had a lot of growth this week, I am starting to really feel the baby moving up!

18 weeks

18 weeks has been nice and quiet. I am feeling this little one kick quite a bit now, mostly at night and when I eat chocolate!! My cravings have been jelly bellys, chocolate, and salt and vinegar chips. Nothing much else to report but my belly is getting huge now, people are really starting to notice now. It's funny the amount of stares I get when I am alone with three of the kids at the store. The funny thing is they have no idea I have one in school too. I love watching my family grow. It's definitely an adventure everyday! I took a picture at 18 weeks 6 days.

Week 17

I finally felt the baby kick this week. Very exciting to feel the first little movements of the babe. I got to go to the doctor this week and hear the heartbeat. I also set up my ultrasound to check everything and hopefully find out gender! I am so clueless with this baby. I did the chinese calender and it said girl. But...then I did the pendant test and it said boy. I usually like one of the names I have picked more than the other which kind of gives me a clue. But... I like both names equally this time. I really thought this was a boy because I was sick, but I have not been gaining weight like I do with the boys or craving things like I do with the boys. So....I am totally perplexed. I would actually prefer to have a boy, just to keep my pattern going, and because I know that having two girls 18 months apart will probably lead to lots of fighting. But, whatever we have will be welcomed and loved and just what we needed. Here is a picture of me at 17 weeks!

Week 16

Well, what to say... I had a hard time putting on my socks this morning. I still haven't felt any kicks yet, but I have a feeling the baby is in a very far back position, so I don't think I will them for awhile. We finally picked out our names for the baby. One boy and one girl name we finally both agreed on. I am happy and feeling good.

Week 15

I have had a really great week so far. It seems like my stomach has grown a lot this week, I am finally in all maternity clothes. I am feeling pretty good. I really don't have any cravings right now, I pretty much can eat anything, but don't really feel like eating a lot this week. I have still been really tired, and randomly falling asleep on the couch, but I am not 20 anymore,so I think my tiredness, is due to being older and having 4 other babes! Here is a picture of me at 15 weeks 1 day!

14 weeks

Week 14 has been pretty good. I am stretching and getting bigger. I am having a really hard time keeping myself warm for some reason. I am either freezing or hot. Went to the doctors last week and everything looked great. They actually couldn't find the baby's heartbeat with the little speaker. So I had to get a quick ultrasound. The baby's heart rate was 173, the highest I have ever had on one of my babies. I was so worried for about half an hour that the baby had died, and I had not noticed or something. It was terrible, but he/she is just fine. I have been craving oranges this week. I am a little perplexed about what this baby will be, my body is handling the pregnancy like it is a boy, but I am craving food like it's a girl. It's a mystery. Here is me at 14 weeks 2 days. Oh yeah...I am officially in my second trimester. WHOOOOOT!

13 weeks

What can I say... my morning sickness is finally gone! HALLEJUAH!! I have been craving plain turkey sandwiches on white bread this week. I am feeling good again, I am just tired. I don't really think I am pregnant tired, just normal mom tired. There are so many errands and car rides in my day, it's ridiculous. I have mommy brains super bad, like going to the store for milk and coming back with everything but milk. Oh my mind! I think this week I have been thinking a lot about being a mom. What it means to me, am I doing it right. You kind of start believing the, "Your CRAZY" Statement after you hear it everywhere you go and from everyone you meet. Do I think I am overrun and crazy, absolutely not! Do I think I have challenges and struggles, yes...but, doesn't everyone? I mean really don't we all get stressed out of our minds sometimes? Do I think my kids are the reason I stress out, no! I would be stressed about a lot of other things if I didn't have them, and more miserable. Do I regret them...NO! So why do I feel like others are trying to make me regret them. I believe in God's Plan for us. It's James and I's plan, get over it world! I love you little Junebug! Enough of my ranting here I am at 13 weeks!
