Week 17

17 weeks.....the weeks are flying by and I am not doing a good job keeping up with these updates!

*How far along?: 17 weeks 5 days

*How big is baby?: The size of a turnip- 5 inches from head to rump

*Weight Gain: up 12 lbs- I had gained at least 15 with Brett at  this point so Im doing good! My size has evened out a little the last 2 weeks and I dont feel as huge as I did.

*Sex: Baby boy! He almost didn't show us the goods for a second time but FINALLY gave us a good shot after 10 minutes!

*Maternity clothes:Some shirts and all jeans. Still normal pjs and yoga pants.

*Stretch marks: The few around my belly button from Brett are more noticeable, but hoping not to add to them!

*Sleep:Pretty good- I was so tired after Christmas I didn't event wake up to go to the bathroom 2 nights in a row!

*Symptoms: Finally not nauseated anymore and I have my energy back during the day! My Sciatic nerve has really been bothering me, but I have been on my feet a lot with Christmas and stuff. I am starting to feel it when I do too much- which is easy to do with a 2 year old to play with :)

*Movement: Yup! It's still faint but I love it- feeling more kicks and less flutters.

*Food cravings: Still nothing really- my appetite has been very normal with this pregnancy where as with Brett I was starving all the time!

*Labor signs: Nope

*Belly button in or out: In but top is already flat.

*What I miss: Nothing right now.

*What I'm looking forward to: My 20 week ultrasound- I cant wait to see his sweet face!

*Best moment of the week: Christmas! It was so fun this  year with Brett! He is at the best age and really had  blast opening all his presents!

Here we go again!

Well I am 13 weeks 5 days now, so I guess I should start posting these weekly updates so I can remember the details later! Because, all us moms know that part of our brains are removed after child birth! :)

                      This pic was taken over the weekend so I think Ive grown since then.....

*How far along?: 13 weeks 5days

*How big is baby?: The size of a peach- 2.9 inches

*Weight Gain: 8 lbs- not bad since I had gained over 10 with Brett at this point. I think its because I have been sick this time.....

*Sex: We find out Dec 8!

*Maternity clothes:Some shirts and all jeans. Still normal pjs and yoga pants. Trying to be creative with my wardrobe in this transitional time.

*Stretch marks: The few around my belly button from Brett are more noticeable, but hoping not to add to them!

*Sleep: Ok on some nights but not because of being preggo- our resident toddler likes to wake up in the middle of the night and have one of us come in his bed.....its a work in progress.

*Symptoms: Nausea and fatigue still hanging around. Meds help with the sickness but I'm trying to not take them. Also, my hip joint started hurting this week which seems so early, but it is a 2nd pregnancy.....

*Movement: Maybe? I feel flutters every so often so I think that's the baby?

*Food cravings: Nothing really- I just have a small aversion to chicken but not all the time. When Im hungry its the worst. Hunger quickly turns to nausea if I don't eat quick.

*Labor signs: Nope

*Belly button in or out: In but top is already flat.

*What I miss: Wine! haha that's it.

*What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the gender

*Best moment of the week: We had an U/S Monday and it was so great to see the little baby moving and flipping around!

2 years old!

Wow, 2 years has come and gone! I cant even remember what life was like before our sweet baby boy! Cliche but true! Here is an update on everything BRETT!!

Height: 35in (67%)

Weight: 32lbs (89%) He is solid!

Diapers: size 5 or 6

Shirts- 3T

Pants- 2T, but he needs a belt and the legs are a little long :)

Shoes: 7 1/2- 8

Brett talks all the time! He has really started to put sentences together and is getting better everyday! He loves to be outside and when he is inside he likes to play with trucks, pretend to cook, and chase our dog, Kali. 

He goes to bed at 8:30 and sleeps until 7 or 7:30 and naps about 1 1/2- 2 hours a day.

Brett has quite the feisty personality and has a little temper that comes out too! Mostly with Josh. When he gets mad he grits his teeth and starts smacking Josh on the legs arms or where ever.....don't worry we don't let him get away with it!

Brett's favorite foods are fruits and veggies...seriously! He loves broccoli, peas and green beans, and they are usually the first thing he eats off of his plate. He also loves bananas and oranges- I actually keep the oranges hidden because he wants one every time he sees them!

We took the front rail off of his crib a few weeks ago and he is doing great....except that he is going thru a phase (I hope its a phase- and a short one!) where he wont go to sleep unless someone is in his room with him.....I have almost fallen asleep on the floor in his room a few times this week! 

We went to the Beach last weekend for my niece's gymnastics competition and a little R&R. Brett had so much fun at the beach, that I wish we lived there! He played in the sand and water for hours! He dug hole, filled up dump trucks, and even helped some big kids catch fish!

On Brett's actual Bday (Tuesday) we went to dinner with the family and I made him a birthday cake!

Happy Birthday Brett! More fun to come at your party this weekend!
