19 Week Update

This poor kiddo is already getting the short end of the stick. I used to be so prompt about keeping pregnancy updates, but life has taken over. 2 kids, activities, 2 school schedules, work, and life has gotten in the way. This is my first real update. I am going to keep it short and sweet this time in hopes I can keep up with updates every few weeks. I finally took my first pregnancy picture this week too! Amazing!
How Far Along: 19 Weeks
Size of baby: 8 ounces
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +9 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Yes. I still wear one pair of pre-pregnancy jeans, but dress pants are definitely maternity. Shirts are mostly maternity. I wear alot of cardigans that are not maternity.
Gender: ??
Movement: A few "butterflies" here and there, but mostly at night.
Symptoms: None. I feel great! My energy has returned for the most part and I've been having some pretty decent hair days. Nothing to complain about.
Sleep: I am a great sleeper. Our kiddos are my biggest interference. When they are flailing in my bed or coughing all night long, I am awake. Otherwise, I can sleep, sleep and sleep some more.
What I miss: Not feeling so large and working out without feeling like I am dying:)
Cravings: Nothing really. I am just happy to not experience any aversions other than the fried donut stand outside of the bx. All that grease, makes me want to gag.
Best Moment This Week: Seeing the crib in the soon to be nursery.
Shopping: I've purchased a few sleepers and outfits. Nothing much. We are waiting until gender confirmation in a couple of weeks to figure out what we need/want. Thankfully, my sister has a little guy and we have girl clothes galore. I think we'll be pretty well off either way.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
