Update on Life

Hello wonderful friends!  I hope that this Thursday finds you all amazing. No I have not fallen of the face of the earth, or given up blogging.  Life has just been super busy lately.  Between trying to find a new house, and getting our house ready to sell I have not had a ton of down time.  Really though, I have no idea how we have accumulated so. much. stuff.

Besides trying to move I have some other news to share…..

I’m pregnant with #3! Surprise!

To be honest, this was a little bit of a hard decision to make.  After Autumn, my mind said I was done, but my heart did not.  I prayed a lot about it, and every time I did, I just felt the pull to expand our family.  So we decided to go for it, and I am so glad that I did.  Since both Annabelle and Autumn were c-sections, this one will be a planned c-section.  While my OB said I technically could try for a Vbac, that she wouldn’t recommend it.

I am currently 12 weeks along, and I hope that I can keep up with these weekly updates.  With two kids running around, it’s a little bit more difficult to find the time do it.

How far along: 12 weeks

Baby Size: .49 oz

Weight Gain: 0 lbs so far, I think.  I don’t get on the scale anymore, so I’ll know at my next appointment.

Gender: we don’t know yet, but we will be finding out.  Mama is too much of a planner to wait.

Cravings: for the past few weeks I’ve been craving macaroni and cheese (which isn’t surprising, since cheese seems to be a theme in my past pregnancies).

Symptoms: Not a whole lot of symptoms.  Don’t hate me, but I have never had terrible morning sickness with any of my pregnancies.  I never threw up with Annabelle or Autumn, and it looks to be the same with this one.  I was more nauseous with the other two, as I have had very little with this pregnancy.  It does worry me a little, but I know it can happen.

Sleep: So-so, but not because of the pregnancy (well maybe a little, since I am sleeping on my side, and I am more of a back sleeper).  My sleep is not so great because of how anxious I am about looking for a house and putting ours on the market.

Movement: I honestly felt like I felt something last week, but it very well could have been gas.  I was super late to feeling movement with Annabelle and Autumn, so I’m hoping that I feel it sooner with this one.

Clothing:  still in my normal clothes.

Miss Anything:  Sangria, wine, real coffee.  I’m just so sad I can enjoy a glass of sangria on the porch at the end of the day.

Big Sisters: Besides the constant, non-stop fighting they seem to be doing ok.

Getting Excited About: buying a house, moving into said house, selling our house, my next doctor appointment so I can hear the heartbeat and be assured everything is ok.
