Our 2 Year-Old

I've been wanting to do an Addie post for awhile now...so here goes!
Here she is after a haircut a few weeks ago

Adelyn is the busiest little girl I know.  She doesn't stop running (usually literally) from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed at night.  She sleeps from 9PM until 9AM every night, which is pretty fantastic.  We're starting to transition her to 8PM-8AM, but right now I'm enjoying being able to sleep in a bit every day!

She loves to sing & dance - she started a 5-week summer dance class on Wednesday, which was adorable to watch.  She kinda wanted to do her own thing & not follow along with the rest of the class, but at 2, I wasn't expecting her to follow along perfectly.

Addie makes us laugh constantly, especially when she's getting into trouble!  Last week I was trying to put her shoes on & she threw one of them.  She hates wearing shoes, but I let her know that throwing them was not okay.  Instead of saying, "Sorry, Mommy," like she usually does, she looked at me and said, "Aye, aye, Captain!"  I tried really hard to keep it together, but I failed miserably & burst out laughing.

Another Addie-ism she's come up with recently is putting her hands on her hips and instead of saying "attitude", she'll say, "Addie-tude!"  A little sassy, but I give her credit for being creative. :)



Weeks 15 & 16


How far along? 16 weeks, 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: Still down 5 pounds 

Sleep: I sleep really well as long as I have my body pillow! We went camping last weekend and that was very interesting. Donny & I shared my king size pillow & I used his as my body pillow.


Best moment this week: Getting the results of my quad screen back - baby tested normal!


Movement: I think I may have felt a teeny bit of movement, but nothing regular yet.


Symptoms: Still the heartburn, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good!


Symptoms I DON'T have: Complete exhaustion & nausea


Food cravings: Orange juice & Chick-fil-A. I don't know why with the second one...we don't have any around here & that makes me sad!


Food aversions: Pizza


Nesting: Nope, not yet


Gender: We find out in just a little over 3 weeks!


Labor Signs: None


Belly Button in or out? In


What I miss: Not really missing anything


What I am looking forward to: My next appointment - our big ultrasound!

Week 14 Survey

How far along? 14 weeks, 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: Down 5 pounds 

Sleep: I have really bad insomnia right now. I can't get to bed until really late, so Addie & I take very nice afternoon naps most days!


Best moment this week: We're heading "up north" to a popular vacation area - excited to wear my maternity swimming suit. :)


Movement: Not yet, but hopefully soon!


Symptoms: Heartburn...I think it started way earlier this time! Tums does nothing for me, but thankfully Zantac does.


Symptoms I DON'T have: All day nausea


Food cravings: Orange juice (same as with Addie)...tonight I made cookies at midnight - not something I'd normally do. :)


Food aversions: Scrambled eggs & pizza


Nesting: Not yet


Gender: Can't wait to find out!


Labor Signs: Definitely none


Belly Button in or out? In


What I miss: TMI, but I miss not bursting blood vessels in my face when I need to get sick. I have a very sensitive gag reflex during pregnancy, so anytime I cough or sneeze, I gag! I look like I have little red freckles that start at my eyes & go down to my neck.


What I am looking forward to: Our appointment next week - having a quad screen done to check for the chances of the baby having certain birth defects. I'm nervous & will feel much much  better about everything once we get the news that the baby is healthy!

13 Week Survey


How far along? 13 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: Still down 6 pounds 


Sleep: I definitely toss and turn trying to get comfortable, but I can nap really well! I just have to convince Addie to nap with me. :)


Best moment this week: Moving into the 2nd trimester already - I think having a 2-year old really helps speed the time along!


Movement: Not yet


Symptoms: Heartburn, breakouts, tighter jeans! :)


Symptoms I DON'T have: I'm finally starting to be able to enjoy food again


Food cravings: Tonight I really wanted a grilled cheese sandwich. I haven't had any regular cravings yet, though.


Food aversions: Scrambled eggs, pizza, desserts (which is sooo unusual for me!)


Nesting: Not yet - just hoping to get word about possibly moving soon!


Gender: Not sure yet!


Labor Signs: Definitely none yet


Belly Button in or out? In


What I miss: Nothing, really


What I am looking forward to:  The next doctor appointment in 2 weeks & finding out the sex next month!

Baby #2 Week 12 Survey

How far along? 12 weeks, 3 days


Total weight gain/loss: Down about 6 pounds

Stretch marks? Nope


Best moment this week: Technically it was the end of last week, but we got to hear baby's heartbeat - it was between 160 & 165


Movement: Not yet


Food cravings: No cravings. I either feel really nauseated or really hungry...but then nothing sounds good.


Gender: We'll find out in July!


Labor Signs: None - and hopefully not for a long time!


Belly Button in or out? In


What I miss: Nothing really - I'm just hoping that soon I won't feel nauseated so often.


What I am looking forward to: Starting to actually look pregnant. :)

Weekly Wisdom: As stressful as having a 2-year old is, I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy...I may be a lot more exhausted and cranky some days, though!


Milestones: Hitting the 12 week mark and hearing a healthy heartbeat last week!
