20 weeks and BEACH!!!

My babies!!!!! We took our family vacation to Myrtle Beach for the week! While pregnancy and the heat are just plain awful, I loved every second. Keegan really was kicking while I laid out, probably hates the sun like his dad, but we had a great time! While I admit, first time sober on the beach in a long time, I had so much fun watching Bailey. She is a little beach bum! She talks so much these days, and I love watching her figure out things. She loved catching fish with her net and finding shells. She wasn't scared of the waves and all but like the baby pools much better. Every morning we had to look outside and make sure the beach was still there! I can't wait for Keegan to join us next year! 

You really haven't lived until you drive 9 hours in a car listening to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on DVD....

Also, I went to my friend Lane's baby shower. She is having a little boy in August. I am sure baby Wells and Keegan will be great buddies! Their grandparents are also neighbors so I am sure these two will have many adventures together!

19 weeks

Well, you are still a boy! So let the real planning and nursery decorating begin! You were still shy on the ultrasound unlike your crazy sister at this point. Maybe you will be my calm child?

Bump still there no hiding it! My veiny leg is much worse this go around and the heat doesn't help much! I am feeling you move and flip alot these days especially at night when I am trying to go to sleep! I have weird cravings for things like pickles and not so much sweets like with Bailey. Maybe I won't gain as much weight with this pregnancy? Speaking of weight, at my appointment I have gained 7lbs so far, however, I started about 5lbs heavier than first pregnancy....ya know, my mommy muscles, right :)

Bailey and Keegan had their first airplane ride to Chicago for Michelle and John's wedding! Bailey did so well and I didn't have to pee a single time on the airplane which is a blessing! While I really missed celebrating with the drinks, I still had a good time...sober in Chicago was something I haven't experienced in a very LOOOOONG time!

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!!!!!

She loves coming to my school to visit and it makes my day to have here there!!!

week 14

Happy Mother's day and second trimester!!!!!!

So crazy that I will holding 2 kids next year!!!

We had a great mother's day! I got to take 2 naps on my own time, and Bailey got me a beautiful right hand ring. 

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?!?
