Although you may not always be in the front of my mind, you are so very much apart of my daily life. I listen to your heartbeat on my doppler every so often so I can feel closer to you. You give me a few kicks every other day to remind me that you are there. I am so excited to find out if you are a little boy or little girl....only a month away :) Your brother is very busy practicing his skills to become a better toddler for you to play with. He doesn't know it yet, but he is going to love you so much and trust me... you will love him too! We are so excited for you to meet us in 5 short months.
I love you little one. 17 weeks and counting :)

The Bachelorette
So I have been watching the bachelor/bachelorette for years. I wish I could explain why I, among other women, are in a trance for an hour and half every Monday night. There is something to be said about fighting over a guy and something even more grand about having 25 men fight over you! I know I get to an unhealthy place (for me) when I am thinking about this show in my spare time. Although, I think it's healthy to escape from life once and a while to reboot, I am not sure it is healthy for me to do this with television.
With that being said.. umm.... WHY does Emily still have Ryan and Kalan still on the show?? She straight out said that Ryan was manipulative and Kalan was rude the other night. I guess I don't understand?! I have tried to analyze her situation and the only thing I can come up with is that the producers have done so much for her (with having the show in NC and all) that she is throwing them a bone by keeping these tools on the show?! She is sending guys she hasn't been able to spend much time with home rather than the jerks she has and doesn't seem to see a future with. Good TV? I guess. And maybe this is just the reaction they want from us fans. The more we talk about it, the more likely others watch it.
Anyways. That is my thoughts lately. I would rather concentrate on that right now rather than my garage sale. hehe. I am already feeling overwhelmed and it hasn't begun! Oh geez.
Hope you enjoy your day!

Different Strokes
When I got pregnant again, I totally thought I knew what was going to happen. I was pretty anxious about it, actually. First trimester with Skyler I was pretty sick.. so much so that I took Zofran to ease the nausea until 13-14 weeks. Along with that I had pretty bad (excuse my bluntness) .. constipation. Many pregnant women know these symptoms well. I was worried that I would be on my back watching Skyler for about three months. Shockingly this was not the case. I did have a little nausea but nothing to write home about. And I really only felt it at night. It subsided by 12 weeks.
I have found that not only with the nausea has this pregnancy been different that Skyler's but in other ways as well. I didn't have the cramping scare that I did in the beginning with Skyler, I haven't gained a single pound yet (although, I am about 10 pounds heavier this time around...hehe), and my jaw has been giving me trouble this time.
It's a good reminder for me as I look towards the future. This next little one will be completely different than Skyler. He/She will most likely have different likes/dislikes and require different things from me. One thing I am looking foward to is giving breastfeeding another shot. After I said a mournful goodbye to it with Skyler, I was determined to make it work this time around. I am trying not to put too much pressure on myself as I think this can be a really evil cycle in the whole anxiety process. I am also looking foward to holding an itty bitty again. With my postpartum, I didn't have the desire to cuddle and hold Skyler. I also stressed about sleeping so I made it a goal for him to fall asleep by himself at night and I can only remember a handful of times that I let him sleep on me. Other family members enjoyed it but I was a little anxious to enjoy these little moments. I hope that this time around I am able to cherish the sleepy times and not worry about it so much. :) I pray often that I will be bonded with with my new little one.
I also thank God for the times I had with Skyler. I have learned so much about being a mommy from him. I know it will be an adjustment for all of us, but I think mostly for Skler as he goes from being an only child to a brother. I hope he will embrace his new sibling--unfortunatly this will probably be a "uh oh buddy, too tight!" embrace :) hehe. You can only expect so much from a toddler!!
Well that is all my reflections and thoughts for the night. :)
Have a good one!
