Pumpkin is 14 weeks

Week 14
Symptoms: I am still sick some, each week I wake up and think "this is going to be the week that the sickness ends" and, surprise it's back again! But I try to stay positive and thankful through it all, I know that I have a healthy baby and I would suffer all day everyday just to have a healthy baby.

I have been having some aching in my lower back and some pain in my lower abdomen. Definitely going to talk to my Dr. about that.


Weight: I'm not really sure, trying not to get on the scale, haha! I am definitely getting bigger because these pants will not zip anymore and most of mine don't!

Gender: Still don't know yet! We denied the Down Syndrome testing just because we aren't concerned about it and we will still love and cherish this baby if it does have Down Syndrome. But, I am wishing we had done it now so we could know the gender! I am so impatient.

Cravings: I am starting to have a few cravings but nothing intense, more just like stepping a little outside the cracker and toast zone and into cornbread! I did have a craving for vinegar a few times this week.

Movement: None yet

Sleep: Still sleeping pretty good but feeling pretty tired.

Favorite moment this week: Cleaning out the baby's room! We finally had time to move everything out. We had to move all of the furniture out of the guest room and everything from the office into the guest room. We were just going to put the baby in the guest room because it would have been much easier to move but Aaron didn't like the baby's room being the first room in the house and being so far away from us so we rearranged everything! It was definitely a chore but it was fun!

Goals: Start moving and exercising more, nothing too intense, I just want to stay active.


What I'm looking forward to: Our next appointment! I just love to hear that heartbeat!

Thoughts: Is it bad that I am already nesting? I constantly want to rearrange and clean and out stuff up and organize and on and on and on. I just want everything to be perfect for my baby!

Stay On The Thankful Side

One of the ways that the enemy tries to pull me away from Jesus is through anxiety and negativity. I have struggled with anxiety for the greater portion of my life but it really reared its nasty, ugly head when I was pregnant with my son. I was so anxious and depressed that I developed habits that caused me to not recognize myself. I struggled with anxious, intrusive thoughts that continued after he was born. I tried so diligently to recover the woman I was before. I remember talking with precious jewel of a woman who, looking back, has not been constant in my life but God has always placed her with me at such important and formative moments. She spoke with me on a hot summer day about a year after Eli was born about how precious pregnancy and motherhood truly was. I am not good at quoting so forgive me but she spoke words that went something like "this time is such a gift from God and I truly became closer to Him because I was so amazed at what He was doing". I remember bein

General Life Update 2018

So, my life has always been somewhat crazy but the past year to year and a half has been a real whirlwind. In August, before we got married I started attending Graduate School to become a School Psychologist. I was certain that this was the path that I needed to walk down. I loved what I was doing in the beginning, it was fun and exciting and I was getting to really help children. Late in the fall I started to feel overwhelmed. I started the semester working full time as a teacher, driving an hour and a half to school and back three times a week, and trying to be a newlywed. I cut back my hours at work so that I was working only part time thinking it would solve my problems but it didn't. I got sick that Christmas, like I normally do in the winter but somehow it seemed different than normal. The spring semester started off well, I attended a conference in Columbia for free, which was exciting. However, things quickly went downhill I became even more stressed juggling school, wo

I just have to get this out of my head... I just heard the news of the Charleston shooting. I'm deeply saddened by this... the fact that someone would walk into a place of worship and feel the need to take the lives of the people there. What that young man did was horrifying and I could never begin to imagine the pain and suffering those people are going through. Not only should we be praying for those who have lost loved ones or were injured... We also need to pray for the shooter for he fell victim to Satan himself just like many of us do every day. While his sin was more permanent and more devastating, that does not mean that he can't find repentance and mercy in The Lord. I know it is very hard to pray for and love someone who has caused so much pain but as Christians it is our duty. I am so glad that people are willing to offer up prayer in support of those suffering. However, while those people are offering prayer and support for the victims, they are tearing down
