Sorry it has been so long since the last post! My sweet sister in law reminded me I needed to update more often, so Casey I hope you enjoy reading this!
First let me defend myself by saying that the TAKS test is only four weeks away and my time has been dedicated to my students. (Which might I add has been a slow process, but my sweet babies are growing and moving and I am so proud of each of them :)! Kyle and I have also been attending Financial Peace University on Sundays and spending most of our free time together working on budgets, goals, and preparing for "butter beans" future. I highly recommend this course for everybody! We have also been living life by celebrating birthdays, mourning the loss of loved ones, cherishing family moments, and praying for the save return of loved ones. So although I let my posts pass me by I promise I have not been slacking in other areas!
Spring break came and went, Kyle worked and I of course enjoyed the refreshing break and needed some time to refocus on why I loved teaching so much! :) I did however spend the Tuesday after spring break sick at home with what I can only guess was a stomach bug...YUCK! It was awful, and because life threw me for a loop my first week back into the swing of things the house work went out the window, laundry overflowed, and birthday shopping had been postponed to the point where I became a last minute shopper!
On to baby news the real reason why you started reading this in the first place.
I have felt the baby! There really is a baby! The doctor, family and friends had all been asking the question "Have you felt the baby yet?" and "NO!" was always my answer until....I FELT IT! I was sitting at home watching t.v. over the break when all of a sudden the baby wanted to let me know it was there! I immediately reached for my phone and called Kyle to let daddy know that baby was on the move. Unfortunately Kyle is unable to feel the baby at this point and for now it is truly and mother baby moment (which is a perk for me!) We had a doctors appointment on Monday March 21st and the doctor finally did an ultrasound! Kyle was not able to be at this appointment, but I saw our baby and butter bean is perfect. The nurses are all so funny they think I am crazy for not wanting to find out the sex of our baby, but the ultrasound tech made me turn my head when she got to the thigh portion to avoid me seeing anything....It was hard to turn away, but I am glad I did because our baby will give us the best surprise when it is ready to make an appearance in the world so until then I will do better to keep those of you interested updated!
MOMMY AND BABY @ 20 Weeks
Mommy is doing great and so is baby!
Cravings: WATER, WATER, and MORE WATER, especially lemon water ( Kyle loving continues to refill my water glass whenever it is empty!), That is really the only thing that I have to have HONEST!
Mommy has gained 8 lbs so far.
Sleeping is a little uncomfortable and I am starting to feel the heat a lot.
Baby is moving and the doctor said the baby seems to have all the important pieces.
