Week 26!

Welcome to Week 26!

Our house is sold!!! We completed inspections on our current and new house this past week. We are Sooooo excited about the move.

I'm so thankful for awesome friends and family who have helped us pack out the house. My parents drove up and helped for hours, we completed the house. Liz and Sarah helped me finish the garage last night. We wanted to get as much done as possible since we will be moving things when I am 31 weeks pregnant. Go big or go home!!

I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone that I have not enjoyed being pregnant. However, there are so many things I am thankful for:
1. Friends who have stepped up to help us in so many ways
2. Although I have constant nausea, I have little other side effects. I don't have any pain or side effects that some people get.
3. My parents are AMAZING. They have offered so much help and support to us, and show up with dinner and help.
4. A job that supports all my apts, and supports me having a baby
5. An Awesome OB doc who understands and is so supportive of us and our decisions
6. What I've learned. I've learned things don't always go as planned, and even though I've gained more weight than I ever imagined, and I miss being in shape... I can give myself the same grace I so quickly give others. (That's been a hard one)

How I feel about being pregnant: Pretty Good now. Looking forward to moving into the 3rd trimester and being done :)

 

Symptoms: Still nauseas but with my iron getting under control i'm much happier
 

Food Cravings: I don't think I've ever experienced true cravings

 

Special moment: She is moving so much!!! My stomach has been very hard the entire time so we can literally feel her growing

  

Next Milestone: Aug 13th is our apt with our new OB doctor. We are going to be delivering at Lakeside, which is closer to the new house.
 

What I'm praying for: An easy July!!! :)

Whatever Week??

Hello World!!!! What a crazy crazy ride/life we've been living lately.

We are officially in our 23rd week moving into 24- our little ear of corn! Little Katelynn girl is moving around every day, she moves alot when she hears her daddy's voice. And I am finally looking pregnant! The nausea has subsided alot... I am still miserable some days, but have found a good cadence with my nausea meds. I've started walking again, which makes me incredibly happy. I have missed being active outside SO much. Our house is still on the market, and we are trusting God's plan.

How I feel about being pregnant: I am finally feeling like there are cool things. I enjoy seeing her move, and thinking about how she's already learning our voices. Adam and I have continued to really enjoy dreaming about our family and praying over her each day. (Have I mentioned lately how AMAZING my husband is?)

 

Symptoms: Still nauseas and huge :) I've given myself grace that this season of my life is just going to be weird. I've been bone tired again recently, and of course my iron dipped... we are working on that
 

Food Cravings: Not really. I love fruit? But, that's pretty normal

 

Special moment: We bought a crib!!!!! Our only baby furniture item so far :) It's currently sitting in our office until we figure out where we are living, but it's super cute and perfect. I should probably pick out some bedding.... haha

  

Next Milestone: We have an apt next week, one more 4 weeks later... then we start going EVERY OTHER WEEK. It's bonkers to me that my 3rd trimester is coming so quickly.
 

What I'm praying for: OUR HOUSE TO SELL. We have a new offer in on one we really like, and we are dropping the price on ours today. It's getting old having to frantically put the house together and sit in the car with the dogs all the time :-/

 

Here's our crib! Rylan did a very good job of helping put it together. He is very excited about "Tate" and keeps asking me to have her kick his hand.
