Well, Well, Well

It's been a long time hasn't it? I spent most of the summer (and my pregnancy) doing as much stuff with Kyla as we could before she became a big sister! I seriously thought the transition was going to be SOOO hard. In all reality it really wasn't too bad! We have had some temper tantrum and attitude problems that we are still working on, but other than that she loves having a little brother around. I gave birth to him at 38 weeks on August 8, 2012 weighing 7lbs 5 oz. I really would LOVE to do a birth post and his one month post soon, but I don't know how 'soon' I can do it. Things as a mom of two are CRAZY! I really don't know how moms do it. I feel like I have zero time for myself. But I love this crazy hectic life! I know this is super short and sweet, but it's time for bed since I am going to be back up in another couple hours to feed. Unfortunately he was not like Kyla in the sleeping department. She was sleeping through the night by three weeks old and he's five weeks and still waking up in the middle of the night. I got spoiled :( Well that is all for now. I will TRY to update soon! 

Yikes!

It has been forever since I wrote in here. I guess life is just super busy, or that's what I am trying for so this pregnancy will hurry..? I am 27 (almost 28) weeks now! Time sure does fly with your second. We really have nothing ready for him. He's got some clothes, a couple bibs etc. but no bottles, not crib up, no bedding set, no mattress. Yep just call me a dang slacker! I keep telling myself I still have three months left! (actually less.. whoops!) I am just hoping he stays cooking long enough for me to get everything done. Kyla is still pretty excited for him to come. She walks up to my belly all the time and says 'baby brother it's time to come out!' or 'I think baby brother is coming out soon'. Hopefully she still feels that way when he actually arrives! I really want to make her a 'big sister gift bag' thing for when he's born. I really am confused on what all to put in it though because I hardly ever find big sister things. If you have any ideas it is very much appreciated! I'm going to have to cut this short and get everyone ready for the water park. Hope every one has a terrific Sunday! :)

It's a Boy!

I was so sure that it was a girl, but it definitely was a boy! I am supposed to be going back for another ultrasound because the little booger was so far down by my pelvic bone they couldn't get facial shots of him other than some side views. What they did get to see though was completely normal! I was 19 weeks and 4 days at my ultrasound and I was up to a total weight gain of about 12-13 lbs! Yikes! I honestly don't eat that much and have cut way back on junk food so I am trying not to worry too much about the numbers on the scale.We still haven't decided on a name yet. We've been thinking pretty hard, but haven't came to a final decision yet. I think it's going to take some time! Not much else has been happening so that's all the update I got.

Tomorrow Is The Day!

So much for updating weekly! I'm not even going to say I will get better. Let's face it.. I suck! Whatever. It's been busy, busy, busy around here. Tyler and I got married!! (Feb 26th). We moved immediately after. Literally.. the next day! We were busy unpacking everything.. then croup hit. Yuck yuck yuck! In amidst all of this we were potty training. Kyla decided about a week before our wedding she was ready. One day she didn't want to wear a diaper anymore. Yikes! I was looking forward to that day, but really kid?? Right before a wedding?!?! Are you out of your mind??? We did the best we could. Obviously wedding day she was in a diaper! After that she went back in undies. Then she got sick so she wanted no part of potty training. Now it's been smooth sailing ever since. She is completely pee trained (unless she is in a pull up then she pees in it) and we are working on her poop training. As long as I stick her on the potty when I see she needs to go she will poop on it which is great! She still pees at night when she is sleeping, but hey! I haven't bought a pack a diapers since before my wedding!! It's been fantastic!

As for this pregnancy it's going smoothly. I've been having braxton hicks contractions a lot so I have been making sure to drink plenty of water! I am 19 weeks and 2 days today. Tomorrow we get the big ultrasound and find out the sex! I am soo excited to finally see what I am carrying. I started off thinking it was a boy since this pregnancy was SO different from my last. Then, I started having dreams it was a girl. My dreams were true with Kyla so I guess we'll see. We do have a girls name picked out, but we have yet to agree on a boy name. I guess we'll see if it's worth fussing over tomorrow or not! I will make sure to update soon after my ultrasound!

Big Sister!

I am excited to announce that Kyla is going to be a big sister! I am 12 weeks today and everything with the baby has looked great thus far! I want to make sure I keep getting on here and documenting this pregnancy. I actually got this blog for that reason a few months ago (but I miscarried) so I really want to make sure I stay on top of it this pregnancy. I hate trying to think back on being pregnant with Kyla and going 'did I have this? or that?' So at twelve weeks pregnant I am up about five pounds (don't judge - fast food got the best of me for awhile). I am still in regular clothes most of the time. I sometimes whip out the maternity jeans. They are really just more comfortable then my regular jeans. My shirts fit me fine so far. I will be having to make a trip to the store for some bigger bras though very very soon! I have already gone up a whole cup size! I am happy to say my morning sickness this time around was easy compared to when I was pregnant the first time. I did have it but usually it was just around dinner time until I went to bed and no vomiting!! It started getting worse the past week or so but is starting to become almost nonexistent! Yay for that! As for cravings I have had some. Right now, I absolutely love cucumbers, broccoli, and celery with ranch dip! Yummm! Oh and miracle whip. kind of weird I know! haha. I was never a big fan of it, but right now it tastes SO good!

That's about all for the pregnancy. I think next week (Beginning of the 2nd tri!) I will start doing that survey thing. As for everyday life, It's been very busy. My wedding is in less than three weeks (YIKES!) and we are moving to a bigger and better home at the end of this month! I am super stoked! It's more a month so we are going to have to re-do our budget, but it is so worth it! That's all for now. I am sure I will have more stuff to post soon :)
