16 Weeks

Happy 16 weeks!!!

This post is coming a few days late... I have been home most of the week just relaxing, taking it easy, trying to keep COOL and just never got around to having the photographer a.k.a hubby take a picture!

Here in Arkansas we have had record breaking temperatures for this time of year and it's just plain HOT! I can't imagine what July and August are going to be like.

Here I am at 16 weeks 4 days!

How Far Along: 16 Weeks

Size of baby: 5 ounces, 5 inches and the size of a turnip.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up 2lbs

Maternity Clothes: Some... I am wearing maternity pants and regular tops.

Gender: ???

Movement: Yes - I felt flutters VERY early on but just the past week I have started feeling bigger movements and what feels like some kicks. Mike has felt him/her move several times as well!! We both think it's the neatest thing ever!

What I miss: Nothing really.

Sleep: I get up about 2 times per night.

Symptoms: Occasional gagging.. It's only when I need to eat.

Best Moment this week: Feeling movement!!

What I am looking forward to: July 19th!!! Gender Reveal Party!!

Look At Me....

GROW!!!!

Although we aren't 100% sure yet if Baby Wilkins is a Boy or a Girl... one thing we do know is that he/she is growing and everything looks GREAT!!!

We could not be happier and are just SO thankful for that.

He/she had it's hands in it's mouth and was wiggling around during the ultrasound.

Just precious if you ask me! HA

Here is Baby Wilkins spine....simply amazing!

So you're probably wondering when we will know what this bundle of joy is, right?!

We go July 19th for the BIG 20 week ultrasound and will know 100% then!! We would of found out at today's ultrasound but we either have a modest girl or a stubborn boy on our hands!! HA So we will try again in a few weeks :)

Hello 2nd Trimester!

I have been waiting a LONG time for this! I can't believe we are already here!

It feels so good to say I am 14 weeks pregnant and I feel GREAT!

I have read and always heard that out of the 3 trimester, this one is the best!

You feel good and you're not too big and uncomfortable yet.

THAT IS SO TRUE!

Here I am at 14 weeks!!

Best Moment this week: Reaching the 2nd trimester!

Gender: It's a surprise!- We can't wait to find out!

Movement: I feel lots of twitching in my uterus right now.

Food Craving: Fried pickles, peaches, white cheddar popcorn

What I miss: Sleeping through the night and sleeping on my belly!

Sleep: I go to bed early and wake up a few times to potty.

What I am looking forward to: Everything!! Growing big, feeling the baby move, finding the gender out, decorating the nursery and meeting this miracle!!

Belly Button: In for now... but it has gone flat

Stretch Marks: None and I'm lathering the Coco Butter on to hopefully prevent!
Symptoms: round ligament pain

A Little of this a Little of that!

Over the past week we have celebrated Mike's 26th birthday, enjoyed the first week out for Summer break and said bye to the 1st trimester of pregnancy!

Sunday June 6th was Mike's birthday. It was low key and calm... just the way we like it!

He requested his Mom's meatloaf, twice baked potatoe casserole and a cinnamon swirl cake.

The spoiled man got that plus another meatloaf to bring home for later!

It is so weird to think Mike and I have been together since he was 17!

Each year keeps getting better and better!

So far summer break has been semi calm and relaxing... minus the kidney infection I got this time last week! That was NOT fun! I thought at first it was just a back pain but then got much worse and I decided to call the doctor. I went in the next day and they check my urine. I had blood, protein and infection found... sorry TMI! Dr. L started me on a lovely antibiotic and all is well now! Hopefully that will be the only one I ever have!

We plan on cleaning out the garage and rearranging the spare bedrooms this weekend! Well Mike and my brother will be doing that and I will be directing them! HA

Hopefully we will get some things accomplished and crossed off the to-do-list!

Hope ya'll have had a great week!

BEWARE....

MAJOR CRAVINGS HAVE SET IN!!

Craving #1

Turkey Delight from Ozark Smoke House

Craving #2

Pickle spears

Craving #3

Cantaloupe with salt

Okay... you all have been warned! HA

SO glad my appetite is back!

Momma Got a....

New Car!

We are now the proud owners of a 2010 Acura TL!

We traded our Acadia. Now let me tell you, I loved the Acadia but we were looking to save money and my Acadia was starting to get too many miles on it. I do see us going back to an SUV in a few years after we have a few more kids!

This car rides SO smooth and I love the technology package it has!

Well that was our excitement for the holiday weekend! I hope you all have had a good one as well. Tomorrow is going to be a GOOD day! It's the last day of school and we get out early! WOO HOO!!!

We are now peachy!

What to expect when your expecting says the baby is now the size of a Peach and in approximately 3 inches long.... that just amazes me!

Dr. Lawrence did call in some Zofran for the morning sickness and it has worked so far today!

Hope ya'll have a great Memorial Day weekend!
