Baby Update

I'm seriously slacking on this blog. Need to get back to it! 1) Helps me remember things and goodness knows I need all the help I can get with that 2) Its good therapy 3) I miss it

So, since I've been away this happened:

Here's the belly at 9 wks:

Mother's Day [Mommy & BIG BROTHER Brazos]:

12 wks [Hola Boobs!]:

16 wks:

19 wks:

20 wks [Bare belly - lookin kinda pale and squishy around the edges]

And on July 8th we got to see this sweet little face and found out we are having baby boy #2!! :) (This momma loves her boys!):

As I'd today I am 21 weeks and 4 days. I've gained a total of 12 lbs since I found out I was preggy - 2 of which I've gained since yesterday! [Completely blaming on the peach cobbler I made last night] Otherwise I've been doing great with my weight. And I feel great. Fatigue and acne were HORRIBLE in the beginning but seem to be back to normal (somewhat) for the past couple weeks.

We picked out a name for little man #2 - Beckett Anthony. I picked this name and no the "B" thing is not on purpose, just worked out that way.

Beckett is a wiggle worm and I'm starting to feel the bumps and kicks here and there. The best part of being pregnant :) He's most active around 2:00 in the afternoon and at 9:30 - 10:30 at night when I'm going to bed. At my 20 week ultrasound, he looked perfect and no SUA. He's measuring right on target so my due date stays November 24th. My little Thanksgiving baby.

We are going to Texas at the end of next month to have a little family vaca and hopefully I can get some maternity/family pics from our photog friend down there while we are visiting.

I'm thankful with our slim budget while Jason's in school that we already have all the little baby boy stuff we need for Becketts arrival, minus a few things here and there - ie new baby bedding (mostly because Momma wants it), diapers, supplies, new big boy bed for Brazos since Beckett will be swiping his crib/toddler bed, and lots of Baby Laundry Detergent to wash all the little clothes I have.

FAF: Another 1 Bites the Dust!

Starting weight: 166.4 Last week's weight: 163.8 Current weight: 162.8 Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: -1.0 Total weight lost: -3.6 Another week of weight loss! Whoop! Its not much but after another slow exercising week, I'll GLADLY take it! I'm very close [again] to what I weighed when I got knocked up with my pwecious little man so I'm feeling good about that fo' sho'... Working out this week has been rough. I haven't really made/had time for a good solid workout so I'm a little disappointed about that but...eh, I'll just keep squeezing them in there whenever I can and as much as I can. We have a gym membership over by my usual sitter so once she's off maternity leave, I'll be able to run to the gym at night before or after I pick up the monster. My diet this week has been unhealthy - not in what I've eaten, just the quantity. I've hardly eaten a thing! My dinner portions have been cut in half, if not more, so I feel that's a po...

When Life Hands You Lemons

Today is the day. Grandpa's visitation and tomorrow's the funeral. The last couple of days its really hit me. He's gone. My Grandpa was a wonderful man. We've all been smiling, laughing and reminising about all the funny things he used to do and say. We fondly remember his sweet tooth and love for all things lemon flavored. But something I never really thought about until now is that he was handed a lot of crappy cards on the health side of life and hasn't been in good health for the last 20 years but I never really heard him complain about it. In fact, every time I saw him he had a huge smile on his face and wanted to know all about what I had been up to and what I was doing. He was so very proud of all of us kids. So proud. Didn't matter what we were doing or what we'd accomplished, his eyes would twinkle with pride. I'm going to miss him terribly. Today and tomorrow are going to be hard but its all the days after that are going to be truly trying... L...
