24 - 26 weeks

How far along? 26 weeks and 4 days

Gender? Girl :)

Total weight gain? 4 lbs the last 4 weeks, sooo... 13 lbs total. And I'm totally okay with that. 

Maternity clothes? Mostly sweats and big t shirts this week, unless I go into town! 

Stretch marks? Nope just the old ones 

Sleep? Sleeping in a house instead of an apartment is weird, these last few nights I haven't slept well but it's just because I hear weird noises that I don't know and get up to check on Emma a few times a night, at night I'm a little paranoid I guess.

Best moment this week? Finally getting all moved in and working on making this place a home. A couple weeks ago I had an ultrasound and the baby is so cute! Her side profile looks like a little Disney princess :)

Missing anything? No

Movement: in the mornings and around 9 at night is when she is most active, I love those times.

Food cravings? The sugar tooth has struck, and won't leave me alone. 

Anything making you queasy or nauseous? The smell of humidity, even if it's not that strong. Yuck. 

Symptoms: bigger belly. Super hungry all of the time. I eat a snack every 3 hours to keep that under control. Emma feels the need to eat every 3 hours too so we go through lots of apples, grapes, carrots, eggs, berries and steamed veggies in a week. It's expensive eating like this! But id rather spend a little extra money on healthy food than eat cheap crackers and bread all day.

Mood: pretty good. I get stressed out easier than normal though. And I've had my share of emotional breakdowns throughout the move but I think I've stabilized a little bit :) 

Looking Forward to: Getting all unpacked! Working on my projects. Getting furniture.

This is me pregnant with Emma at 24 weeks and me pregnant with #2 at 24 weeks. No polyhydramnios this time!! So I'm a little smaller. Woo hoo!!!

My little Disney princess 

New homeowners!!

Well friends, we've finally found a home and moved! It's in an awesome location, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and suits our needs really well at this time. I'm in the process of unpacking and can't wait to get it done so I can start decorating and work on the tons of projects I have in mind!

Packing up and moving was hard. Emma hated it. I hated it. Ryan hated it. But we got through!

She didn't want me to put things in the box, so she would climb in them. She would say "in da boxsss" as she climbed in. So cute.

Procrastinating. Reading books while she sat on my "ba!" (Lap) next to the heater. Our favorite activity. She could do this all day.

I French braided her hair for the first time! This was the day grandma johnson saved the day by picking up Emma and playing with her for the day so we could actually get some things done. Life saver!!!

I was Packing up the bathroom and realized Emma wasn't pestering me so I ran into the living room to find miss simba on pride rock...

So yeah. Toddlers and packing don't mix! 

Despite the little difficulties with packing and cleaning we were able to move in fairly quickly! Woo!! 

Right now I have this cleaning bug. Nothing can look, smell or feel clean enough. My hands are dried and withered from all the scrubbing and cleaning they've done the last few days. Pregnancy just kind of does that to me.

Cleaned the windows and window sills, this rag was white before.. This was just after ONE window!!!! Gross!!!!!

Our cat is having a hard time adjusting, she wanders around meowing all day and all night... I told Ryan the other day if she doesn't cut it out I might have to get rid of her for the the sake of my sanity.. But unfortunately that'd be like cutting off Emma's left foot, those two are seriously inseparable, I could never even imagine doing something like that so... she stays. Hopefully she calms down!! 

Emmas room is across the house from the kitchen and so when Ryan gets up for work she stays asleep! She's been sleeping in past 9! That's a bonus for this momma! Tia's in the garage at night so she can't be our alarm clock at 7 in the morning so that's nice too. We love having a backyard, it's been wonderful. All around, we love the new place and I can't wait to give it my own personal touch. Before and after pictures will be involved :)

Ryan's beautiful house warming gift to me. I am in love with orchids and he got me such a beautiful one. Oh I love that man. He's a keeper and he's all mine! I love it :)
