Busy as a Bee!

The title says it all for both Connor and I! This past week has been so BUSY! Over the weekend my father in-law and brother in-law visited Kyle and I. It was a blast! Full of such wonderful food that when I got my weight checked this week I had gained quite a few pounds. We ate at McGuire's on Saturday night, and of course if you have been to Pensacola you know you can't leave there without a Root Beer Float! We ate at Oyster Bar for lunch on Saturday and the Shrimp was Phenomenal! Friday night Kyle and I fixed steaks with some yummy sides. On Thursday night we ate at Hopjacks- a WONDERFUL pizzaria/bar with a friend from OCS who is attending flight school down here. As you can tell- food seems to be my big focus these days- luckily at my "20 week check-up" which is really my "19 week check-up" my weight was right on track!

So speaking of the check-up, everything went lovely! Connor's heart rate was steady at 156 bpm. For once he was holding still so we could get a good count! They began the belly measurements and I was right on track at 19 weeks! My doctor was very pleased with the progression thus far. Next Tuesday is the BIG Ultrasound (even though we already know the gender- I am still nervous because this is where they check for the health of the baby and for any deformities etc.)

I do know though that his little legs are working! At exactly 19 weeks (last night) I felt my first actual KICK! For clarification, before this I had felt flutters and movements that were very subtle. However, last night I was going to update my facebook page about how accomplished I felt for the day and BAM! I got a kick. At first I was wondering WTH is going on with my tummy. Then I realized it's Connor saying Hello! I couldn't help but smile all night long! I am anxiously awaiting the little soccer player to start "practicing" in my belly everyday!

Otherwise- things are going great. Not too much going on this week. A new dishwasher is getting installed today! YAY! And this weekend looks to be pretty relaxing- maybe even schedule that massage I won at Kyle's Christmas Party. I know my back would seriously be thanking me! In other news- 10 days until my trip back to Maryland for a week.

Speaking of the trip to MD- There has been baby shower invites mailed out. Please wait patiently for them to arrive. I know how hectic it has been for me- it's been about 20x as hectic for my sister and mom who are throwing the shower. So PLEASE wait patiently and all the informaiton that you need pertaining to date/time/gift registry will all be on there! If you have any questions feel free to ask them or shoot me a Facebook message!

Until next week! Oh yeah- here is the 19 week picture!

"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...
