Pumpkin is 15 weeks

Week 15


Symptoms: I think I am finally over all of the “morning” sickness...yay!! I am feeling much, much better than I was but I still occasionally get sick and I almost always feel just a touch of nausea. 

My skin has been freaking out! My face is so read and bumpy and I have an itchy rash on yay neck and arms. I’m going to talk to my doctor about it when we go Tuesday. 

I think I’ve also been having some round ligament pain. I’m not really sure because they’re is so much going on and I don’t really know how to tell what’s what lol. 

Cravings: Tomato sandwiches! I’ve also really just wanted anything on the sour side. I’ve noticed that I’ve been wanting a lot of citrus flavors so I’ve been eating a lot of fruits and drinking tons of lemon water. 

Aversions: Still chicken and some other meats depending on how they’re cooked. 

Gender: Still don’t know! 

Movement: None yet

Sleep: I’m having a harder time sleeping through the night. I’m not up and down, just more restless. 

Favorite moment: We’re getting the crib moved into the nursery today (Saturday) and I’m so excited! It’s the crib my brother and I used when we were babies. We also had a fun time going through my old baby clothes at my mom and dads. We even found some of my moms baby clothes so now I really want the baby to be a girl so we can dress her in all of my cute clothes!

Appointment: We have our third appointment this Tuesday and I am so anxious to get there! 


Questions:  What can I do about my skin and my face?? Help!

Goals: Finishing getting the nursery set up! Everything is moved out I just want everything to be ready but we still have a ways to go...one day at a time.


What I miss: Being able to sleep in any position I want to! I know I can still sleep on my stomach but it freaks me out so I don't and I am scared to lay on my back because I heard it can hurt the baby. I think it's really for later on but I don't want to take any chances.

What I’m looking forward to: Our appointment and hearing the heartbeat! Also, we are going to be having some blood work done to test for Spina Bifida so I am anxious to know what the results are, I am praying and trusting that everything will be fine!

Thoughts: I am already so proud of this little babe and love him/her so incredibly much. I just cannot wait to hold my little 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
