9 Weeks

So, not much to update. Feeling tired still but cutting out caffeine and going to bed at 9:30 every night has helped. Well, helped with the exhaustion but I get nothing done around the house or work at night. I've lost a couple pounds despite the non-exercise schedule and eating gobs and gobs. I guess breastfeeding and growing a human take a lot of extra calories.
I'm going to tell my boss next week. Only 2 of my coworkers know and for some reason I'm dreading telling everyone. Probably because it's not good timing at work to go on maternity leave a year after you start. Plus my boss has been super stressed and I hate to add to that. But we have a team lunch next week and that feels like as good a time as any instead of awkwardly blurting it out in the small confines of his office, just the two of us. Wish me luck with all that.
We are trying to figure out things financially on our end to get us through the end of Jason's doctorate program next year. Looks like we may be moving in the next couple months and boys will be starting new daycares. Poor Beckett, this will be his 3rd place although Brazos did go through 4 or 5 by his first birthday so I suppose Beckett isn't doing too bad.  Praying we make the right decision in whether to move and all that or if another solution is better for our family. With so many things up in the air on where we will be in a year, makes the decision even harder. I wish I had a crystal ball to see what's going to happen so I can plan things better today.
We've officially decided on a boy and a girl name for baby #3. We will play a little trivia game when we find out the gender to reveal the name we've picked. Another little fun thing to do during this pregnancy...this was Daddy's idea. He likes to keep the name a secret.
That's all for now. Still have updates coming for little Beckett and crazy Brazos and all our family goings on.

[Im]Patiently Waiting for Baby Allen - 4 weeks to go!

I started out this pregnancy looking like this: And here I am at [almost] 36 weeks: Holy crap, I sure hope that tiny tummy comes back to me after this baby is born...and I lose a couple chins...and a couple pounds off the cheeks, both sets. I think I'll leave my hair long though. Not cute in that first picture. Anywhozit - 4 weeks to go!! Yay, I'm so excited. I had my doc appt and BPP yesterday. Baby didn't want to do his breaths at the BPP so we had to do an NST (Non-Stress Test). Basically, I sat in a big comfy recliner while they hooked the monitors up to my belly and recorded his heartbeat/movements and my contractions. I dozed off a couple times while I was sitting there listening to his heartbeat beep...it was rough. He passed the NST with flying colors - Dr even told me they could use my print out for textbooks because my results were EXACTLY what they should look like. (My child's perfect already - jealous?!) Next week is his growth scan [possibly his last one] ...

29 Weeks

Here I am at 29 weeks exactly. I'm at +24 lbs which is a little higher than I would like, but after a week of crappy eating on vacation, I won't complain too much. My blood pressure is good and just got word that I passed my glucose test. Yay! My emotions get the better of me a lot this pregnancy, but I don't know if its all pregnancy related or if some of it is just me trying to work through a lot of emotional issues - either way, trying to hold it together some days has been rough. I just wish I was able to enjoy being pregnant...but alas, its just not meant to be. Trying to enjoy it as much as possible, all the little kicks and wiggles and special time with Beckett. Also, trying very hard to stay focused on eating healthy and walking as much as I can, although, I can't walk far anymore without the belly cramping. Still trying to keep from gaining that 50 lbs like I did last time ;) Beckett is extremely active, and according to the baby center emails I get, he...

Romping In The Bluebonnets

This weekend was our weekend in Texas for J's buddy's wedding. So, J, j, Gemma and myself all loaded up, and we drove down Thursday night (overnight) to BCS to spend some time with J's family too. I, of course, have never been down to Texas in the spring, but the wildflowers are GORGEOUS, especially the bluebonnets. It just looks like they exploded all over the country side! They were everywhere. J's mom wanted us all to take some pictures in the bluebonnets so we drove out to the side of a road in the middle of wherever and took some pics. They turned out great. It was quite entertaining to get the kiddos (J's nieces were there too) to cooperate and the puppy, not to mention J's mom losing her balance to kneel down with her grandbabies . And she had to wrangle all three kids and a puppy to take J & I's pic together...God bless her. It was NOT easy. Ha! The most adorable picture of them all was of my little baby girl: How precious is this picture?...
