A few days ago- we were talking about favorites. Favorite colors, favorite numbers, etc...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked him what his favorite food was- and he was telling me how he likes vegetables. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hmmm... that's funny. I have NEVER seen him willingly eat one.single.vegetable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean, sure, when he was a baby and I was mashing up all food in sight, I may have got a few down, but ever since he has been feeding himself- not one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I asked him</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"well what is your favorite vegetable?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and his response</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"My favorite vegetable is strawberries with bacon"</div>

Obviously I am the one with the problem. All these years- I just didn't know. I guess I need to rethink- expand my 'vegetable' category.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today (11/19/13)- I asked him what he was thankful for. We are having Thanksgiving lunch with him at his school today. I suggested things like Granny, Sisters, Mom and Dad etc...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But his response</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I am thankful for rocket ships, lunch time, and golf balls"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not making this stuff up. I don't know where he gets it- but I LOVE it. </div>

It's official! We have a roller! Video coming soon.<br />

But she has it down- If you lay her on her back- she just flips right on over onto her tummy!<br />
<br />
Also- on another note- I have entered the hair fall out stage. Pretty sure you don't want video or pictures of that excitement.<br />
<br />

I feel like you have been in our lives forever- you were meant to be here. And still- at that same time- just 12 weeks old. Just 12 weeks ago- we hadn't met you yet. Just seems crazy to even think of.<br />

You are a happy baby. You barely ever cry- you do like to be help while that person is standing up. We still can't figure out how you know- but you do. As soon as we touch the couch- you will be sure to let us know that you prefer standing. Ha!<br />

We have started using bottles- because you have also started going to school. You go to the same place as your very proud big brotherK. He sure LOVES his little sister! He is a great big brother and takes his role very seriously. He likes to check in on you and gives you lots of hugs and kisses. Some tickles too.<br />

You are wearing 3M clothes and size 1 diapers. You aren't far from being able to sit up. You want to so bad. Really you like to stand- your legs are so strong!<br />

You will coo and awww every once in a while, but not too much. And we have yet to hear a good giggle. That is a sound I am very much looking forward to hearing soon!<br />

Bath times are fun. I bet you are going to be a water bug next summer. I can't wait! We are heading to GA for your Uncle Mike's wedding next week and you will get to meet lots of family there for the 1st time- I know you are going to be a big hit. We sure love your smiling face-<br />

Feet SUPER swollen. No ankles left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took about a week for the swelling to go down. Nurse said this was totally normal. I did a little dance the day I got my ankles back.</div>

My hands were also super swollen. They would fall asleep at night- my whole arm would. I was afraid I had carpal tunnel-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After delivery this did not go away as fast as I hoped it would. My hands stayed swollen longer than my feet. After about a month I was able to wear my wedding ring again, but I still (at 6 weeks) have my arms/ hands fall asleep. Again- doctor said totally normal. Can take up to 6 months to go away. I also have VERY stiff joints. I did post pregnancy with my 1st too. If I sit or lay in one position for even a short amount of time- it is very hard and uncomfortable for me to get up- or move from that position. Weird- because when I start moving- or in the gym I can keep moving no problem. It's just if I get in a sedentary position for very long.</div>

I can not tell you how glad I am that I stuck with my working out. Even if it was at low impact- or just at 1/2 speed- I.AM.SO.GLAD.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am convinced that this helped me immediately post pregnancy. I am also super glad that I continued with core strength exercises. I think it helped with getting my tummy back in quicker- and also helping me not pee everywhere all the time. Ha! </div>

I started walking the 2nd week. Just easy strolling walks. Then I started back with T25, a work out video that's just 25 minutes- of hard work! Added in some push ups, planks, squats, etc...<br />
<br />
After my 5 week doctor's appointment, I was cleared for all activity and I have started back at the gym. I am 3 workouts in so far! whoohooo! That's 2 Combat classes and one Boot Camp. (about to add another boot camp tomorrow)<br />
I can tell that I have lost some strength- mostly in my core and arms (push ups are HARD) and I was surprised at how my cardio stamina was pretty much the same. I was able to push through the entire Combat class without stopping and doing side kicks and round house kicks was MUCH easier without a belly in the way!<br />
<br />
I gained 40 lbs and at my 6 week weigh in- I have lost all but 8. Still some loose skin- and need to regain some muscles and strength- but overall pretty happy. Clothes are still snug- so I know I have a way to go- and I am on the path.<br />
<br />
I have not been dieting and I am still breastfeeding. I initially was pretty nervous that working out may decrease my supply- and I am thankful to say that so far (knock on wood) I have not had any issues. Drinking tons of water and enjoying the occasional beer or glass of wine. I did cut out dairy- so even though technically that's not dieting- it has kept me from indulging in yummy pizza, cheese, ice creams, creamer, milk (duh) and all that kind of stuff. (But if it makes Miss P feel better- then I am happy to do it- and cut a few calories in the same time) It actually has been a real eye opener to me to how much cheese- especially cream cheese- we eat.<br />
<br />
I will update at the 12 week mark and see if there are any changes then. We have a full season of events coming up- weddings, showers, concerts, and work stuff- so I am hoping to be back in my old clothes soon. Don't want to have to go shopping for bigger clothes- would much rather shop for new stuff in my regular (or smaller) size.<br />

I finally realized that I better start cycling through some of cute NB size outfits because you are about to grow out of them! You are wearing NB and 0-3 size clothes. The NB is starting to get snug- so it won't be long. We also ran out of NB diapers- and you are wearing a size 1.</div>

If we could hold you the whole time you slept- then I think you would already be sleeping through the night. I love holding you and watching you sleep! You are a snuggly little thing. and the loudest sleeper! We like to call you our little Teradactyl- you make all kinds of grunts and sweet oooos while you are sleeping. We startred our nighttime sleep routine and you have done pretty good. We start bath at 8PM, then you nurse and usually fall asleep for about an hour. Then after Daddy is done giving your big brother a bath- you like to lay with him until you fall asleep again around 10:30PM. You sleep the longest on this one- usually for about 4 hours. And after you eat you easily go right back to sleep throughout the night. Getting up about every 3 hours. You are sleeping in the pack-n-play in our room and doing a great job. Depending on what was the last time you woke up- you will sleep until about 7AM. Then we usually go for a walk. If I will hold you will even sleep on more 'round; and get up around 9 AM! nice!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After our walk- you have been taking a 3 hour nap right around 10AM each day- so that's nice- let's Mommy get some work done.</div>

I am trying to help you work on self soothing. You won't take a pacifier- and you try and suck your thumb- but then decide against it. So I though you might like to snuggle with this little bear. You even make the 'frog' noise that I made too! But so far- we haven't figured out how to soothe those little fussy night time cries.</div>

Can't imagine life without you- and can't believe how fast it goes by. I will enjoy my days of snuggling with you on my chest- as I know they won't last long. We love you.</div>

<br />
I figured I better get to writing this story down- otherwise I was going to forget what happened.<br />
<br />
So here we go...<br />
<br />
I'll start with where I left off on the last post. So after my fiasco with getting into to see my doctor- I got an appointment for Monday, June 24th. Went in, got checked- almost at 2cm. So we scheduled check in for Sunday, June 30th to be induced.<br />
<br />
That week- Thursday night-about 10pm- I started having contractions. They were coming every 4-5 minutes and lasting over a minute. My mom lives an hour away- so after 45 minutes of this- I decided to give her a call. She started to head our way, and we figured if I was still having contractions by the time she got here- we would go to the hospital, and she would spend the night with K.<br />
<br />
So about midnight we head up to the hospital. They monitored us for an hour- I was at a good 2cm (so a tiny bit of progress) and about 65% effaced. But we were sent home- I think I knew that was going to happen, but I have heard so many stories about girls waiting and not going to the hospital in time- I didn't want that to be me. No biggie. A good test run.<br />
<br />
That weekend, we ate WAY too much. Finished up all the last minute baby stuff we wanted to get done. And relaxed. Enjoyed time with K- the last weekend he would be the 'baby' of our family.<br />
<br />
Sunday my mom came up to stay with K- and we loaded up and headed to the hospital to check in. I cried when we left the house. I held it all in giving big hugs and kisses to my baby boy- but once we got in the car I turned into a sobbing mess. I am pretty sure my eyes were still red and poofy when we checked into the hospital.<br />
<br />
But anyhow- we checked in and the plan was to start Cytotec (which is a pill put up against the cervix) So one pill, broken into quarters and they would give me 1/4 every 4 or 6 hours.... I can't remember.<br />
<br />
When she gave me the 1st pill, I was at 3cm and 85% effaced. She even said she wouldn't be surprised if she was born that night! whoa whoa whoa....<br />
<br />
And about 10 minutes later I started having contractions. Real contractions. <br />
<br />
Cody and I played Draw Something with each other and tried to pass the time. And the contractions just kept on coming.<br />
<br />
We talked with the nurse- she talked with my doctor. And it was decided to not give anymore Cytotec- and we would just see if I went into labor on my own. We tried to get some rest- since we knew a busy day (or busy night) would be coming up!<br />
<br />
About 3am my contractions just went away on their own. At 5:30 the nurse came in and we got busy. She started me on pitocin and my doctor came in later to break my water. Now we wait......<br />
<br />
Of course, the contractions continued to get stronger. Pitocin contractions are no joke. Cody was great. He had researched how to support me- and he really did a great job. Rubbing my feet, holding my hand<br />
<br />
I made it to 4cm- before getting the epidural by Doogie Houser. (not even kidding) but he did a great job- and the ahhhhhhh feeling that came after was well worth it.<br />
<br />
I asked when they would check me again- and they said sometime after lunch. But if I started to feel pressure down below- then I needed to let someone know. They were expecting a lunch time baby- so they would be back later.<br />
<br />
And we wait....<br />
<br />
I was propped up on my left side. And at some point I started feeling pain down my right butt cheek. I could feel it with each contraction and it was getting more and more uncomfortable. My nurse asked me to flip to my right side- since the epidural works off gravity- and said to push my 'button' (the give me a little more epi juice button) and if the pain didn't go away, wait 5 min and push the button again.<br />
<br />
So I flipped, and I pushed the button. Not once, but twice, maybe even 3 times. Still nothing. I could feel this 'pain' down my right side. Then it occurred to me.... hmmm.... is this pressure? Holymoly- it IS pressure.<br />
<br />
We called the nurse back in and she decided to check where we were. 8 cm. It WAS pressure. duh.<br />
<br />
By now- my right side was completely noodle limp. I mean- I don't think my leg was even connected to my body. I could feel touch and pressure down my left side- but on the right. NOTHING. Such a weird feeling.<br />
<br />
She sat my bed up- so that I was basically sitting up straight in the bed. And we let gravity work it's magic. That was probably at 11:30 am. My doctor came in a 12 and said we were ready to go.<br />
<br />
We did one practice push. And she put on her 'gear' and asked the nurse to call a 'Baby Catcher' to L&D Room 4.<br />
<br />
Cody was on my left side. And my nurse- got my dead leg right side. My doctor reminded Cody to count to 10 and we were ready to go.<br />
<br />
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10<br />
<br />
ok- ok- don't push. What? The Baby Catcher wasn't in the room. Nurse ran over to catch the baby. My dead leg fell out of the stirrup. Ha! It was craziness. My doctor reeled everyone back in. Told the nurse to get back on my dead leg and ensured that she would catch the baby.<br />
<br />
And POP-<br />
<br />
Her head was out. One more tiny push- and she was here. All of this happened in about 5 minutes. Still no Baby Catcher in the room. They put her up on my chest and she just looked up at me and we locked eyes.<br />
<br />
Born at 12:21pm, 19 inches, 7lbs 13.4 oz.<br />

<br />
The Baby Catcher made it in- and they wiped her down and suctioned her all out. She cried a little bit- but was pretty calm. And right back on my chest she went. They cleaned up, stitched up, and they left the room.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

During that time, the Castillos (who were in Colorado) sent us some fresh baked cookies from Tiff's Treats. Let me tell you. That was hands down- the BEST gift ever. I was starving and the cookies were still warm when they were delivered. YUM.<br />

<br />
It all started last Thurs.- I was suppose to see my doctor's nurse practitioner (because my doctor was in Europe! honestly I am still surprised I didn't go into labor while she was gone) But when I get to the office, the Internet is fried....<br />
and so they won't see ANY patients...<br />
WHAT?<br />
<br />
And this was the appointment where we were going to go ahead and schedule our induction date. And she won't even see me. So they tell me that they will try and get me in the next day- or will call me to reschedule for sometime next week.<br />
<br />
Now a little bit of back story- when we finally decided to schedule BabyK's induction date- the hospital was FULL. They put us 'on call' for Monday, Tues, Wed, or Thurs of the following week.<br />
<br />
For real.<br />
<br />
And that's how BabyK came 8 days late.<br />
<br />
So they give me this news- and naturally I high tail it to my car, call husband, and cry. And then go get a chocolate brownie shake. All is better, right?<br />
<br />
Then the next morning, a Friday, bright and early, I call to reschedule my appointment. They nonchalantly tell me they will get me in NEXT Thurs... um NO. That's not going to work- because of this and this and this and I am sosorryIknowIamemotionalbutIneedtoschedulemyinducationdatepleasehelpme<br />
<br />
I hang up with her- because I am pretty sure she thinks I am a little bit loony and she was no help anyhow. I call my doctor's nurse assistant- and she is all kinds of wonderful! She gets me in to see my doctor Monday afternoon- and promises me that she will schedule the induction date as soon as we see the doctor.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend- we WIN the Championship at our basketball tournament!! and we celebrate! PapaL comes in town for the celebration too.<br />

Monday comes- we see the doctor- I am so swollen and poofy- my toes are sausage like and my fingers look like I have 5 thumbs. She tells me that all is ok- probably the heat. Nice.<br />

I can deal with being poofy and hot and uncomfortable for one more week. And then- AND THEN- we get to finally meet our sweet sweet baby girl. (she will be sweet right?)<br />
<br />
So needless to say- this week we have been some busy bodies. Not sure why we waited to do some of this stuff until now. But ya know... that's how we roll.<br />

So we will prepare, and clean, and relax, and do all the things you think you are suppose to do before babies arrive. And then Sunday we will check in and Monday she will be here. We can't wait- will she have her Daddy's green eyes? Her Mommy's nose? just 5 days to go and we can all find out!</div>

It seems if I go to the gym- it helps. So I am still trying to make that happen. Just a little bit of sweat each day- to keep the water retention away.</span><br />

<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Symptoms: </strong><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">I am guessing she has 'dropped'- everyone keeps saying I look low. Lots of pressure in the lower regions. I don't remember feeling this the 1st time around. Maybe that's because BabyK never got into position- I never even </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.859375px;">dilated</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;"> or anything. So what I really really hope is that this means she is getting ready to make her debut! I am for sure moving slower- and he feet are definitely up in my ribs/ chest area. My belly button is flat- I thought for sure it would be an outie by now.</span></span></span><br />

So I have beaten that! and plan to keep up with working out until the end. It makes my whole day better- so why not? If it gets uncomfortable- then I will scale back as needed.</span><br />

For Mother's day- I woke up to breakfast- Cody copy-cat the recipe from Kerby Lane- my fav EggsFransico! Sooo good- AND- I got a Lulu gift card so I can go shopping here soon. We also enjoyed the weekend- playing with the Castillo's at Hanover's- doing a little shopping- cooking out- relaxing and a nice dinner at La Estancia.</div>

These meatball stuffed biscuits we YUM.

I just wrapped a meatball and part of a string cheese inside the biscuit- and baked them. Then served up some marinara sauce on the side for dipping.</div>

For the main dish- in my new pretty casserole baking dish- I did spinach, cheese, and meat stuffed shells. Kind of my own concoction. It's good- and even a little bit good for you! I took inspiration from <a href="http://www.annies-eats.com/2009/02/27/sausage-and-spinach-stuffed-shells/" target="_blank">this</a> recipe and <a href="http://www.inspiredtaste.net/8712/stuffed-shells-with-sausage-and-spinach-recipe/" target="_blank">this</a> one too.

Overall I know she's going to be here before we know it. I am SO ready to meet her!</span><br />

I have to go on 2 work trips next month! A little nervous about that- getting through the airport and rude people with a belly in the way- AND then having to sleep in a hotel room. I got an inflatable wedge pillow that I can take in my suitcase and hopefully it will help prop me up in the hotel bed.</span><br />

Bought a maternity support belt and I am still unsure how I feel about it. It's just a little bit </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.859375px;">weird</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;"> Not really uncomfortable- but not comfortable either.

3 years... WOW-<br />
<br />
<br />
still growing- and amazing us all everyday.<br />
<br />
Growing- but still in the 10% for weight and height- at your appointment you were:<br />
Weight- 28 lbs 2 oz<br />
Height- 36 inches<br />
<br />
Right now you are loving robots, transformers, and still love to race your cars. We watched Real Steel with Hugh Jackman and you love it. You will line up the couch cushions around the room and 'box' them. And of course finish it all off with the robot dance.<br />
<br />
You also like to 'transform' You make sound effects and go from a standing position and transform into a car (laying on the ground position) Then make the sounds to transform back up to a Transformer!<br />
<br />
<br />
Your JJ (who spoils you- along with all your grandparents) has recently given you a new transformer- Bumble Bee. It goes just about everywhere with us. She also gave you a Spiderman jacket. (the hood comes up and goes over your eyes- giving your Spidey- eyes) We wear it aLOT. When you wear it to school all the kids think it's so cool and they will shout out for SPIDERMAN! You can even throw your web.<br />

<br />
<br />
You can count and now are recognizing numbers- like the numbers on the race cars. You know several songs, but on repeat for you these days is<br />
- Justin Beiber- Body Rock<br />
- Pink- So What<br />
- Skrillex- Rock-n-Roll<br />

All of these you have learned from the Wii Dance 4 and you even know- memorized- the dance moves! You really get into it. (I think you get the dance moves from your mom- the good ones anyhow)<br />

Last night on the way home I told you that the Bachelor Finale was coming on tonight and you said<br />
"oh my goodness! that's so cute"<br />

Your Dad finished your big boy bed last weekend and we have you room almost ready to go. We will be making that transition very soon. Probably going to actually take your crib apart and pack it away until we are ready to use it for your sister. I think I am more nervous about the move than you are. Upstairs just seems like so far away.<br />

You are a very picky eater. Chicken nuggets, hamburgers, pizza, mac-n-cheese, cheese, bananas, yogurt, apple sauce, spaghetti, turkey dogs, sausage, bagels with jelly, and any type of crackers- are you staples. You may not know it- but you have eaten fish sticks, calamari, and shrimp- we told you it was chicken :) But you liked them all. We also sneak in veggies in just about everything we can.<br />
<br />
If I ask you what you like- you will tell me things like mushrooms, tomatoes, and salad- even though you haven't ever tried any of those (willingly)<br />

You know how to work the Ipad like a pro. You can find your games (in a folder) your TV shows and movies and YouTube is your favorite. You love to play outside. Riding your bike or playing in the dirt. Also playing with Daddy's tools. I imagine this summer you will become a fish in the pool.<br />

We have pretty much mastered pee- pee in the potty. You can go by yourself and rarely have any accidents. Poo-Poo is a whole other story. You tell me that transformers go poo-poo in the potty- but not Kash. Hopefully one of these days you will make up your mind to go. You have gone maybe 3-4 times- but for some reason you don't like it and it seems to scare you. So we will be patient- I know when you make up your mind to do something- you can do it. That time will come.<br />

Every morning you wake up with a big smile and a snugly hug. It's the best way to start anyone's day. You are happy and brighten days often. You can have a hard head (not sure where you get that from) but at that same time it's nice to see you work situations out with your hard head. You grow more and more everyday- we are learning new things from you as often as you are learning from us. You are loved by more people than you can imagine.<br />

<br />
so impressed in fact- that I wanted to document it here so that I can make it again!<br />
<br />
deeee- licious!<br />
<br />
Cilantro Lime 'Rice' (Cauliflower)<br />
<br />
- 1 head of cauliflower<br />
- juice from 1.5 limes<br />
- cilantro- probably about 2 tblsp minced<br />
- 3 garlic bulbs (not heads) minced<br />
- 1/2 onion chopped finely<br />
- 1 cap full of Olive Oil<br />
<br />
Boil cauliflower until soft. Drain. Set aside<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then add cauliflower. And stir, chop it up until it becomes 'rice' consistency.<br />
<br />
Season with salt, pepper, and Tony Chachere's.<br />
<br />
This was excellent. We made a big pot of beans and mixed the rice and beans. We also made fajitas and it was a great side dish. Just as good warmed up the next day-<br />
<br />

<br />
It was actually really fun. Those little things can go SO fast. We watched them zip around corners and crash into hay bales-<br />
<br />
Of course we visited the pit area too. And the fire trucks.<br />

<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Body Changes? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">just a growing belly and growing hair- and nails too!</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Sleep:</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;"> it is what it is. I mostly sleep propped up on my back- but I will flip side to side every once in a while too.</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Best moment this week: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">another ultrasound- always good to see Little Miss- she was fist pumping- just relaxing</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Food Cravings: </strong><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">none really- I did eat my share of chocolate and dessert for Valentine's day- eeee- actually I think I ate too much and it made me feel </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.859375px;">weird</span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">.</span></span></span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">What I miss: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">not much. really. I know- boring.</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Symptoms: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">heart burn is returning- but I expected that as I get closer to the 3rd tri- yikes! does shopping for cute stuff online count as a symptom? I think I have 'finger click' symptoms...</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">OH and let's not forget sciatic nerve- ugh- that is a pain. Sitting in my desk chair seems to bother it the most. I have been sitting with my feet elevated and icing it each night.</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">What I am looking forward to: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">feeling more movement. I have felt some- but I thought I would be feeling more by now. So I am waiting.... patiently.... but hurry.</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Workouts: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">still in the gym 4-5 days a week. Combat is getting harder- or I am getting muscle fatigue faster. I can work through the burn- but it is really burning! I keep a close eye on my heart rate monitor and just push on through. I have some great friends working out with me and that's always great motivation!</span><br />
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Milestones: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">1/2 way~ pretty crazy- we are on the countDOWN now... still working on K's big boy room. It's really nice that we have all gender neutral stuff (we did that on purpose) and so really the only new stuff we need/ want is a new baby monitor w/ 2 cameras, a new diaper bag, maybe some new crib bedding, and clothes- and that's the fun part!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037108011878362258.post-43686664524062795432013-02-19T16:11:00.001-06:002013-03-18T16:58:20.554-05:00My Birthday Surprise!At our 12 week ultrasound the technician saw 'it'<br />
<br />
She asked us if we wanted to know. And we did. We SO did.<br />
<br />
But we didn't want to find out there- we wanted to find out our own special way. So we had her write it down in an envelope and seal it shut.<br />
<br />
I contacted a friend to make some awesome cake balls. She decorated the outsides with pink and blue icing- and then on my bday we decided to do the big reveal and find out if there was pink or blue cake on the inside!<br />

<br />
I'm serious.<br />
<br />
Just wanted to document that here.<br />
<br />
Guess we will all see, 20 week picture coming Monday.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037108011878362258.post-59039106841479722492013-01-15T13:27:00.002-06:002013-01-15T13:27:38.078-06:00maybe a day off?today I am frustrated. No idea why.<br />
<br />
i just am.<br />
<br />
I went to the gym this morning- combat class- normally when I do that, I can work off any frustration. But I wasn't frustrated this morning.<br />
<br />
Just became that way this afternoon.<br />
<br />
Maybe because I didn't get a good night's sleep last night? Probably because I jinxed myself yesterday when I claimed to be sleeping good.<br />
<br />
Maybe because I have thoughts, ideas, colors and themes going all through my head of this awesome big boy room that i want to create?<br />
<br />
Maybe because work is slow- or I am busy- but it seems others are slow to make a move.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's the weather. It's cold. Overcast. No blue sunny skies. I am ready for Spring.<br />
<br />
maybe maybe maybe<br />
<br />
Maybe I just need a day off. A sunny day off. That would be nice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037108011878362258.post-45780230633683177482013-01-14T15:06:00.000-06:002013-01-15T14:18:33.912-06:00Side by Side- 16 weeksso side by side at 16 weeks.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel like I look thicker (I really don't like that word- but I can think of a better one) but anyhow- the first time around I look different than this time. Don't you think? I didn't 'pop' out the 1st time around until about 24 weeks- don't think I am going to make it that long this time around. Which is OK with me! I am ready to get out of this 'bloated' stage and have an actual bump. Not just a bloat.</div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">How far along?</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;"> 16 weeks- 4 months- whew- some weeks seem to go by really fast- and some slow- but over all pretty quick</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Body Changes? </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">no real updates here- I feel weaker- push-ups are harder- but body wise- nothing really.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Sleep:</strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;"> I am actually sleeping good. I am not even getting up in the middle of the night to pee. Hmmm.... not sure why? Is it the new bed? the body pillow? I have no idea- and I am not complaining. Sleep is good. shhhh... don't jinx me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Best moment this week: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">This week- well TODAY my youngest son turned 3! wow. how time flies. We celebrated his b-day with family and friends. We also discussed his big boy room decorations and even bought a few paint samples- so ready to start that project!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Food Cravings: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Still no cravings. We have made some good food- and we ate some yummy sweets- but I know a craving when I see one.... and there haven't been any. booo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">What I miss: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">this week- Beer. and the non- alcoholic kind just isn't cuttin it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Symptoms: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">My tummy is starting to harden up- especially when I hold K- where his little knees hit on my stomach feels weird. It's hard to explain but I have a feeling pretty soon some one is going to start pushing his knees away from the inside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">What I am looking forward to: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Starting on the room. and making the 'offical' announcement on FB and sharing the gender reveal with everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Workouts: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">All good- the past 2 weeks I have fit in 11 workouts- so still going strong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<strong style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">Milestones: </strong><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.866666793823242px;">16 weeks- also took the Materna21 test- just a blood test- but it will confirm the gender! isn't that crazy? Should get those results in this week.</span></div>
