Happy Valentine's Day!

Please join me in praying for my Uncle Ernie today.

T-ball times three

Our spring calendar just got busier.Thankfully, and probably only this once, they are on the same team. Which means same practices, same games, and same time commitments!

16 Week Survey

How far along? 16 weeks

Size of baby? 4.6 inches long (size of an Avocado)

Total weight gain/loss? Lost two more pounds. Down a total of 3 pounds. BUT I know my time will come! I haven't thrown up in 2 1/2 weeks and am starting to crave sweets so I KNOW it's just a matter of time.

Maternity clothes? YES! Several weeks ago I put on my maternity jeans...LOVE THEM! I bought most of my stuff when I was pregnant with Jayden. When my friend Emily got pregnant I let her use them and then added a few things when I was pregnant with Ryland. I lent the stash to Emily again after Ry and got them back after her second baby. J & R are only 30 months apart, so you can imagine between the 4 pregnancies and 6 years, some things are missing and some things need to be missing!

I've been thrifting a little picking up one or two pieces but may have to break down and buy; as thrifting can be hit-or-miss!

Gender? T, J & R ALL say girl. I waiver. I refer to it as "He" but think about girly stuff when I think about buying, decorating, naming, etc. We'll see very soon. My ultrasound is scheduled for Feb. 25th at 9:15!

We have a definite girl's name (which I will totally share either way) and have a couple of idea's for a boy's name but nothing definite.

Movement? YES! It totally caught me off guard the other night. I was sitting on the couch and realized "Oh, I feel a baby moving". So exciting!

What I miss? Nothing really. Now that I'm not throwing up it's been good.

Sleep? Better. I can still sleep on my stomach for short periods of time. There have been several nights when I don't wake up at all. Other nights, just a few times; to go to the bathroom or switch positions.

Symptoms? I burp ALOT (which we quickly blame on "the baby in my belly") and soreness in my lower back.

Notes? I am so excited to find out the gender. I feel like I'm at a stand still until I know!

Cravings? Fruit, sour patch kids, and Valentine's Day conversation hearts!

Best moment of the week? Scheduling the ultrasound date. Have I told you that I'm excited?

What we are looking forward too? Finding out the gender. Hope he/she cooperates!

I'm going to do a Guess the Gender post with all the wives tales and my results soon!

Thank you Tuesday

After coming in from walking on the treadmill (a first in MONTHS), Todd said "it looks like you lost a lot of weight recently. Your arms are so small". I said, "Awww thanks babe. I don't feel like it, my arms feel like 'pregnancy' arms."

But then again, maybe as your belly and ahem chest get bigger maybe your arms do look smaller.

Thanks Hottie!

Boys and their Toys

We got this a couple of weeks ago and let me tell you it can entertain for HOURS!
