Best moment this week: Aria was sick for a few days early in the week and is finally back to her wild and happy self, which is such a relief! She was making me quite exhausted!
Miss anything? bleu cheese, wine. being cool and feeling thin ;)

Week 21 with Baby 2


How far along? 21 weeks
Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity shirts and belly bands. 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Great
Best moment this week: Jake and Makinzie got married! The entire weekend was remarkable, and Aria was the perfect flower girl ;) And by perfect, I mean she was overly-tired and cried most of the day. Her Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Bobbie carried her down the aisle, and we let her watch Frozen during the reception to keep her occupied. She stayed until the end though and fell asleep in my arms on the dance floor about 15 minutes before the closing song.  
Miss anything? wine!

Food Cravings: no

Week 20 with Baby 2



How far along? 20 weeks
Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity shirts and belly bands with jeans.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Mostly good
Best moment this week: We had our 20 week ultrasound and found out we are having another GIRL, and we couldn't be more excited! It seems her personality is a bit different from Aria's. During the ultrasound she hid her face most of the time, and when the technician pressed on my belly she kicked back. Aria was very excited to see her baby sister and talked about it all day :)

Week 19 with Baby 2

Tuesday, September 1, 2015



How far along? 19 weeks
Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity shirts and just started wearing my belly bands. 
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: OK. I think I would be sleeping great, but Aria and I are staying at my dad's and I'm in a twin bed. The twin bed isn't the problem though. Harley believes he MUST sleep with me. He starts out in the arm chair near me, but tries to sneak into my bed several times throughout the night. He's a great cuddler... too great, and he traps my legs causing me to sleep wonky. I wake up with a stiff back, kick him out of bed, and the process starts again a few hours later.
Best moment this week: Aria and I are spending this week and next at my dad's. It has been really nice to spend quality time with him before we head to AZ for the next 8 months. 
Miss anything? wine
Movement: The feeling of movement is getting stronger.
Food Cravings: fruit
Food Aversions/anything making you queasy: not really
Have you started to show yet: Yes, more so than you can see in the picture. My belly really popped this week, but I'm certain the angle of the camera doesn't allow for a proper visual. 
Gender Prediction: boy? girl? I have NO idea.
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Mostly happy with a side of extreme irritation
Looking forward to: Seeing Pete on Sunday and finding out our baby's gender on Tuesday.
