Olivia's Field Trip to the Children's Museum

 Last week Liv's class went to the Childrens Museum for a field trip!  She loved it of course.  Highlights were riding the bus to get there, playing in the water, running from exhibit to exhibit.  She was just a ball of energy (per usual).

I got to go...and Ryan even stopped in for a bit.  It's fun to see her interact with her friends.  She sure is a social little thing!!

Pregnancy post - Week 26

Pregnancy: Week 26

DATE: March 15, 2013

 

How far along: 26 weeks

 

Total Weight Gained: 14 pounds.  I hardly gained at first…and now I am gaining like crazy :(.  2 pounds this WEEK alone...

 

How big is baby:

 

baby at 26 weeks :

-Her eyes are forming, and his eyes will soon start to open.

-And her eyelashes are now grown, too.

-She's getting her immune system ready for life on the outside by soaking up your antibodies.

-She's taking breaths, too. They're of amniotic fluid, not air, but it's still good practice.

Maternity Clothes:  Wearing a mixture of both.  Regular jeans on today, but maternity top.

Sleep: sleeping good…

Best Moment of the Week: Getting into the double digits!  We only have 98 more days until the due date now!!

 

Movement: yes…she is still QUITE the mover…always flipping around.

 

Food Craving: oh just EVERYTHING…I am very hungry…and just could eat and eat (this is NOT a good sign)!!

 

Food Aversions: none really…

 

Morning Sickness: nope….

 

Gender: Not sure…but feeling like a girl this week.  Had an apt. on Monday, and the heart rate was 173…so fast!

 

Symptoms: a little tired this week….still congested.

 

What I miss: wearing my “skinny” clothes…but I am trying to embrace my bump!

What I'm looking forward to: vacation…..(ok that’s not pregnancy related, but still….)

Pregnancy #3: Week 25

Pregnancy: Week 25

DATE: March 8, 2013

How far along: 25 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 12.2 pounds…..really starting to gain/grow now!

How big is baby: The structures of your baby's spine are beginning to form while the blood vessels of the lungs develop as well. Also, his nostrils are beginning to open. Your baby now has fully formed fingerprints and his bones are continuing to harden. If your baby were delivered now it would have a chance of surviving due to some great advances in medicine. The premature baby could survive in an incubator for few months. Her taste buds are forming, and she may be developing a weakness for sweets. He/She is about 13 inches long and weighs a pound and a half.

Maternity Clothes:  Yes!  I still squeeze into regular pants now and then….but it is getting harder.

Sleep: Good…..but I am majorly congested, so that hasn’t been ideal.

Best Moment of the Week: Hmmmm…..it’s been a pretty good week overall…nothing earth shattering

Movement: yes…he/she is QUITE the mover…always flipping around.

Food Craving: oh just EVERYTHING…I am hungry…and just could eat and eat (this is NOT a good sign)!!

Food Aversions: none really

Morning Sickness: nope….

Gender: Not finding out…

Symptoms: nasal congestion…

What I miss: wearing my “skinny” clothes I guess

What I'm looking forward to: Dr. appt. on Monday.  Only time that going to the dr. is fun is when you are pregnant!!  Love hearing the heartbeat!

Pregnancy -24 weeks!

Pregnancy: Week 24

DATE: March 1, 2013

How far along: 24 weeks

Total Weight Gained: 11.2 pounds

How big is baby: By the end of this week, the baby will be weighing around 2 lbs and will be about 14 inches long.

Maternity Clothes:  Yes!  Wearing a mixture of both, but ordered a few maternity tops, which makes me happy!

Sleep: pretty good….but my kids have been sick, so they haven’t been sleeping well….

Best Moment of the Week: Posted (maybe) my 1^st pregnancy picture, of this pregnancy, on Facebook and got all sorts of nice flattering comments

Movement: yes…he/she is QUITE the mover…

Sick babies....

I have had two sick little babies in my house for a few days now.

Poor Liv started with a fever on Friday night and has been in the dumps ever since.

Cough, runny nose, fussy, etc.

Poor Blake started coming down with the same crud on Sunday night.

His wasn't quite as bad, but overall - he is a sick pup too.

Still in good spirits though!





 

The whole fam has been hit...Ryan starting on Saturday and me on Monday.

Here's hoping that it is GONE tomorrow!!

 

Oops, I did it again....

Here we are again, 19 days since my last post....

I WILL get back into the swing of things.  Life has been crazy and hectic the past couple of weeks...so I haven't had a chance to write a post.

Nothing bad or our of the ordinary...just crazy!

Will try to post with pictures tomorrow!!
