19 Weeks, its hard to believe I am so far already! It feels like just last week I found out I was pregnant! I can't believe I am going to be 20 weeks in 2 days! So my bump looks somewhat smaller in my pics this week, I don't think it is, I think its just the sweater I am wearing! Baby is still growing like crazy and moves all the time!
I had a doctors appointment last Wednesday and we got to schedule my sonogram! It's going to be next Thursday April 4th, but my gender reveal party isn't until April 13th, and we are waiting to find out when everyone else does! Its going to be so hard to wait!
This week has sure been an adventure of sorts, I finally started potty training Mikey! He will be 3 in June and I thought it was about time, plus I didn't want to have 2 kids in diapers! Mikey has also been taking about wanting to go to school (pre-school), and he has to be potty Strained to do that. So I started him last Thursday and we went cold turkey. No diapers or pull-ups except for a naptime and bedtime. I let him pick out some cool underwear and he has been wearing them. He is doing pretty good, only a few accidents so far. He has even started telling us that he has to go potty!
We took Mikey to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday and he had a great time! He was emptying out the eggs in his basket as he was picking them up, it was cute! He found one of the special eggs so he got a giant chocolate bunny as a prize. Hopefully it will be nice this Saturday, because we are planning on taking him to another one at Louisburg Cider Mill, and I'm looking forward to enjoying some yummy cider donuts!
This last weekend we had yet another snowstorm resulting in 7 inches of snow. Mikey had a fun time playing with Uncle Dyl and grandpa in the snow on Sunday. They built a big snowman, and Mikey wanted to name him Michial! LOL! Now I'm definitely ready for it to warm up so we can start doing things outdoors, like going to the park and the zoo!
Well, I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and an awesome Easter! Remember, He has Risen!!!
I can't believe I am 18 weeks! Only a couple of more weeks until I am at the halfway point!
The baby sure is growing! As big as a sweet potato this week! The baby has been kicking up a storm and doing all kind of flips and somersaults! I have been trying to get John to feel it, but he hasn't been able to yet. I'm sure it won't be to long!
I finally got some watermelon! It wasn't the best since it was the already cut kind from the grocery store, but it was still watermelon! I am still craving guacamole and have been eating it a couple of times a week. A friend told me an easy way to make guacamole for a quick snack. Just mash the avocados and just add salsa. I put a little lime juice and garlic powder in with it too.
I'm sitting here watching it snow, that's right I said snow! I have I said that I'm ready for it to be warm! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring and its snowing!
Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment and we supposed to schedule the ultrasound. I am so excited to find out! Its still going to be a few more weeks because we are planning our Gender Reveal Party for April 13th, and we are going to find out when everyone else does!
On Saturday we took Mikey to get his pictures taken with the bunnies, chicks and baby ducks. He had so much and he didn't want to leave, he threw the biggest fit when we left! I can't wait to get the pictures back because they turned out so cute!
I hope everyone has a great week this week! Hopefully warm weather is just around the corner...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
The baby is as big as an onion this week! No longer fruits, we are on to veggies for a few weeks! LOL!
This week has been pretty uneventful for the most part. It's been cold, and I just want it to warm up, I'm tired of this slingshot weather where it is kind of warm for a few days then it gets cold again! I had MOPS on Monday and my woman's discipleship group yesterday. I took Mikey to get his haircut yesterday. He had been asking to go get his haircut with Auntie Lexi for the past few days!
Saturday he is going to have his pictures taken with bunnies. He can't wait! He had so much fun last year! Sunday we wanted to take Mikey to the St. Patrick's day parade, but its supposed to be cold and possibly rainy, so we are going to have to play it by ear.
The baby is continuing to move around more and more, and I just love the feeling! I can't wait until we can feel the kicks from the outside so John and Mikey can experience it somewhat! Cravings this week still include guacamole, and I really want some good watermelon!
I can't really think of anything else to write, and I hear Mikey waking up from nap, so I'm going to leave it a short one this week! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend!
The baby is growing like a weed and as big as an avocado this week! I have been feeling little movements more and more which is exciting!
This week has been crazy busy! Everyday since last Monday I have been volunteering at the Just Between Friends consignment sale. Last night was the final night with people picking up their leftover clothes. I sold almost everything I took, but I didn't have much this sale. Mikey and daddy have been having a lot of quality time together this week, since I have been gone volunteering almost every night!
I got Mikey a tricycle at the sale and he loves it! He rides it around our living room all the time! I know its an "outdoor" toy, but when I brought it home he was so excited to try it out. He hasn't quite figured out how to pedal it yet, but I'm sure it won't be to long before he does!
I have been craving random things, like any pregnant woman! Guacamole, sub sandwiches, donuts, watermelon (which I have yet to have since good watermelon is hard to come by right now), and iced tea just to name a few! My morning sickness has still been staying away, so I think its over for now!
On Sunday we took a trip to Nebraska Furniture Mart to look at new above the stove microwaves for our kitchen. We have been taking about getting one for years to free up some counter space, but hadn't did it yet. We got one, and one Sunday afternoon and evening while I was volunteering at the sale John was able to raise the cabinet above the stove and install the microwave! It looks awesome! So now, he has put in new can lights in the living room and kitchen, under counter lights, and installed our new microwave! Its awesome to have such a handy hubby! Now we just have to save up the money to redo our kitchen and get rid of the ugly green counter tops and fake brick back-splash! When we do get the money to re-model it, we are going to move our pantry location to create more useable counter space! I can't wait, but it will probably be a while before that happens.
I cannot wait for spring! I am so tired of this cold. Today it was super windy and the wind was bitter cold. Well, I am running out of things to write, so I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
