18 weeks




I have "popped" this week! You can see I have a belly from the front, but the side view isn't very "bumpy" yet. My clothes are getting super tight these days especially my pants. I feel this pregnancy more in my booty and thighs than with Bailey!

I cleaned out Bailey's clothes this week and took them off to be consigned. I decided Keegan needed a start to his closet since we won't have any hand-me-downs like we did with Bailey. Can you tell I love green and navy for little boys?





17 weeks


Hello, first week of summer break and relaxation! Not really, Bailey and I have taken full advantage and stayed very busy! I am still run/walking about 45 minutes and taking a few yoga classes. I can't tell I get winded much easier, but I feel better once it is over and I take a nap :) I have been addicted to sonic sweet tea and watermelon this week!

Hey there little bump!

16 weeks and it's a ...

 School is wrapping up and I am still pretty tired!We did an early ultrasound at OBaby! and found out that you are a.....
 Sweet little baby BOY! Keegan Ames Embree! You were being very shy on the ultrasound and had your hands all over your boy parts...typical boy already!  To reveal to our families, we gave them a bag of all these candies and asked them to figure out what they all had in common...
They all have NUTS...get it...nuts...it's a boy! Of coarse, my dad guessed it right away!

We put a recording of Keegan's heartbeat in this monkey and Bailey loves it! 


So we are having a boy, which means we are DONE!!! One girl and one boy! Happy little family of 4! I also had my monthly check-up and everything looks good. We are still trying to get my thyroid meds evened out, but other than that everything is moving right along...and the doc saw our ultrasound pics and confirmed it is a boy!

Week 15

There it is....only going to getting larger from here!!! Still just feel like I look like I have been eating way too much and still squeezing into my normal clothes. I did break out a pair of maternity jeans....and I think I am ready to make the switch....it's a mental thing, but I am not going to have much of a choice in another week or so....

How far along? 15 weeks and some days

Total weight gain/loss: I haven't gained but my body sure looks  different.....holding steady at 6 lbs

Maternity clothes? they are in the closet.....ready to go

Sleep: Good except the pee breaks


Best moment this week:  Stevie and I went to  the Mercy Me concert at WOC on a date while my parents watched Boo....and I got to sleep in until 8am...and watch  the Today show and drink a cup of coffee without any interruptions.....

Miss Anything? a normal looking, vein free, right leg...and that ice cold beer

Enjoyments:  count down to summer break!! And Bailey...she is at a fun age...talking sooooo much!

Movement: flutters here and there...however, the other night I kept feeling it move in my sleep or maybe I was dreaming..not real sure if it was real or not

Food cravings: bananas, avocados, but not together.....I think about sweets...alot....chinese food and lemonade

Anything making you queasy or sick: Don't thing so.....

Have you started to show yet: a little bump

Belly Button: Way in!!!!!

Signs of labor: No thank God!

Wedding rings on or off? on.

Happy or Moody most of the time: moody

Prediction: I have been thinking boy, but I have had a few "girl" moments...so I have no clue!

Looking forward to: Doctor's appointment and early ultrasound on FRIDAY to (hopefully) find out the gender!!!!!

Feeling very blessed! The weather has been amazing around here, and I am getting really excited about school wrapping up and summer being here! It is bittersweet thinking that this will be my last summer with just one child. Bailey is such a sweet, energetic, wild little girl, and I can't imagine having another child as precious and funny as her, but everyone tells me it just happens. Your heart has room for all your babies and you love them all the same....I'll let ya know how that goes....Bailey loves sleeping and napping as much as I do, so it kinda gives her a lead on baby 2....maybe we will blessed with another good sleeper....not holding my breath...

I mean seriously, can she be any sweeter?!?

week 13

I think I slacked on taking a picture.....opppps..sorry second child...it wont be the last time....

Started feeling really nauseous again this week. I even had some minor panic attacks...probably from TCAP testing or withdraws from celebrating Cinqo de Mayo.... I ate my fair share of avocados and even cooked a huge Cinqo de Mayo meal....cheese dip on everything!!!!!!!!!!

Week 12


To support the announcement of this year's Middle Half Marathon, I am supporting my shirt from last year. Very sad to say, I will not be running in this race this year....I will be waddling by October 11.. I will be 9 months pregnant by then. 2015 I will be back...maybe....

Doc changed my thyroid medicine at the last visit and I am feeling better, more energy, but still not enjoying eating. I did jog a couple of times. We also celebrated 3 years of marriage this week. We enjoyed a big dinner at Parthenon...and I even had a glass of wine...soooooo yummy...no judging...
