20 weeks preggo!!!

Here was me at 12 weeks :)

and now 20 weeks :D


I can't believe I'm halfway through this pregnancy already!!! At my dr's appt we were comparing my pregnancy with the girls and realized that I was halfway through the pregnancy at 17 weeks!!! We were a little shocked and hope that this is my halfway point in this pregnancy. :)

I'm measuring right where I'm supposed to be, depending on our scale or dr's scale, I've gained 6-9 lbs. My blood pressure was 108/60, woo hoo!!!! Thank God, my blood pressure was already elevated with the girls at this time. Baby's heart rate is 138. :)

My cravings have changed, I'm loving fruit, any kind and can't wait for peaches to come out!!! ;) My new favorite drink is an Orange Carrot Sobe and soon to be slushies, homemade, once it warms up. :) Oh, and my biggest craving shocker.....hot wings!!!! I never liked anything hot like that, but now I have to have it atleast once a week!!! :o lol

I finally started feeling baby moving, off and on throughtout the day, what a relief!!! It's quite the change, considering I felt the girls move at 12 weeks and they never stopped, lol!! This baby is a lot more laid back and I think loves to sleep. :D

We get to find out if the girls are getting a lil brother or sister is 5 days!!!! I can't wait, it's been killer to have to wait. I'm excited to start decorating the nursery and getting it set up. :D

'spa at home' giveaway

With being as sick as I have been, some home pampering would be the greatest ever!!!

9 weeks

Teddy Graham is now the size of a grape, has grown about an inch since last week. Tiny muscles are beginning to form and he's gearing up to move his arms and legs.

So far I've been on Zofran for a week now and feel so much better, yay!!! :)
And I'm stoked that I have 3 weeks left of the nausea and exhaustion. :)

Cravings: well, I have a couple and unfortulately they have to be picked up, so I don't get them very often!! :(
Mocha Frappe from City Brew
Olive Garden Salad, mmmmm
Chicken Teriyaki Subway Sandwich
Raspberry Lemonade

The only wardrobe change I've had is that my pants don't fit so well, so I've been bumming around is sweats, a lot!!! lol :) Which is wierd, considering I've lost 4 lbs so far. I'm sure I'll make up for that once my appetite comes back. :)

Mat has said a couple times now that he can't wait for me to start showing, me either. :) Actually I can't wait to start feeling the baby move and I hope it's sooner with a second pregnancy!! :D

The Language of Love & Respect review

“A Revolutionary Solution to the #1 Marriage Problem”

This is the first book I've read by Dr. Emerson Eggrichs. My mom says he's a great writer and liked his first book. It was really easy to understand what he was trying to reveal about how to have a “successful, happy marriage”. I liked how he tied in Bible verses and also shared stories of other couples, which I love reading! :)

Since Mat is gone, I can't apply much of the book, but I am hoping I will be prepared for when he gets home. I never realized it, but it's so true how a wife needs love and the husband needs respect. I have to admit, I crave to be loved and wanted every day and if it's a huge need for me, so much more for Mat. I want to start this new year by respecting, not jump to conclusions and not question his choices for our life.

This is another book that I will come back to many more times. I also hope that Mat will want to read it, too. This is a great book for all married couples to read and apply in their marriage.

2010

2010 should be a very trying, but hopefully fun filled year.

The first major change happens Monday when Mat starts his first day, for 3 months, of his training at the police academy. He will also find out sometime this summer when/if he will be doing his BOLC III, which will be in Missouri for 5 months. We will be going with him, so we might also be moving this year.

This year will also bring our 4th anniversary, my 27th birthday, the girls 3rd birthday, and a possible move.

So here's to 2010, I hope for a safe and happy year!!!!
