14 Weeks...

Tuesday's are always my favorite days because it marks one more week closer to meeting the Reese's Cup. The updates on my phone brighten my morning slightly more. So, this is the 14 week mark. I cannot believe how fast the time is going by. I have my next appointment next week and I cannot wait. I am seriously just biting at the bit waiting for it. 8 more days until I get to hear the heartbeat, maybe get a sneak peak at the more developed "cup" and even an idea of gender?! Who knows. All I know is that I am so anxious it is going to drive me insane!

Anyway's, other than having back some insane amount of energy (although it is still less than pre-pregnancy) nothing new. I had a few night's where I was sick but I genuinely think that is due to a stomach virus, considering my nights have been fine since. Who really knows...

In other news, today was the last time in the next 5.5 months that my husband will likely see the "smaller" me. The next time he sees me I will be approximately 24 weeks pregnant! I dropped him off at the boat for his 2- 2.5 month dry dock. The dog has been more upset than me I swear! He refused to get off the bed and now instead of snuggling in his cage for the night he is whining on my bed. Looks like I have a new sleeping buddy for the next couple months. Although these next 10 weeks will for sure be difficult I know that we will be just fine. 17 weeks at OCS, 8 weeks at Boot Camp. I think if he wasn't gone for those long periods of time our love wouldn't be as strong as it is. Plus I would just get so tired of him ;).  Fortunately during this time we are still able to talk on the phone, skype if he has internet capabilities and even see each other if the timing lines up. Even more exciting is that I will have two awesome weeks planned during these two months. In March I will be flying back to Maryland for a week to hang out with family and friends and show off this growing bump ;). In April, my sister, brother in-law and nephew will be visiting for a week with some exciting events already planned!!

All in all the week since my last update has been uneventful- baby-wise. I feel the growing of stomach though, tonight was especially tight in my lower abdomen. Just waiting to feel some little movement from the little one. Maybe in the next couple weeks!

Thanks for reading and catching up. Here is the latest picture of the growing bump. At 14 weeks, finally starting to show a little while wearing clothes :). (And of course Rango checking out what in the world I was doing!)

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
