20 Weeks!!

We have made it to the half way point!  YAY!!  

20 weeks!

So with being half way, figure a little up date on all the fun stuff that comes along with pregnancy.

Size of baby:   about 1 lb.

Movement:   Tons, more at night.  But that could be because I am finally sitting still.

Gender & Name:   Next week we find out.  No name yet.

Symptoms:    None lately, still tired a lot.

Maternity clothes:    Only a couple pairs of pants, usually still wear my normal clothes.

Sleep:    Catching up on sleep. The insomnia seems to have let off the last couple of days.  Hope it stays that way.   The wide awake from 4 to 6 or 6:30, doesn't really work with a kid who gets up at 7am.

Weight gained:  Ugh, 8 lbs in one visit. And we haven't even received out girl scout cookies.  I better start walking more.

Food Cravings:   Salty and sweets, but I try to eat fruits instead.  I am so not good at eating healthy.

Belly Button out or in:  In, but it is early.  Just wait.

Fun moments from this past week:    Re is really starting to show her love for her baby.  She wants to hug the baby every night before bed.  It is so adorable.

What I am looking forward to:   More sisterly love.  

Reflections on the past week:   Missing B a lot, since he has been away for over a week.  He does so much for us, and it is easy to see when he is not here.  We are so lucky to have such a great man in our lives.

Dr. Seuss week - Day 1

This coming Friday is National Read Across America Day aka Dr. Seuss's Birthday!  As a bonus the movie, "The Lorax" is coming out.  So we are celebrating all week.  Over the weekend, we bought the book to read and we haven't put it down.  Re loves the Lorax and the Trees and seems to understand that cutting all the trees down is not a good thing.  


This week I have some great activities lined up for Re to go along with our Dr. Seuss theme. I found a preschool pack created just for the Lorax movie, Re loves the preschool packs!  Then I have some art crafts for us to do.  Here is some photos from the first day.


Made a Cat in the Hat-Hat, with stickers of course.
