23 Weeks




Cooking time: 23 weeks, 1 day 
Weight gain: +5 pounds as of Dr. appointment on Thursday.  I asked my Dr. if I was gaining too little weight but she assured me that I'm just fine.  She said even if I lose weight but the baby measures on track that's fine too... but from here on out I'll probably gain a pound a week.  My belly sure does look like I've gained more than 5 pounds so maybe its possible that I've lost in other places and baby girl is growing just fine.  I think of 6 months pregnant (I'm a week shy) as HUGE...but everyone is different...and I'm not complaining at all, especially since Maui is in just over 2 weeks and I thought by then I would be uncomfortable.
Maternity clothes: Still the same...dresses and skirts mostly.  It was a beautiful 80+ and sunny all weekend so it was really nice to wear some flowy dresses.
Food cravings:Pretty much the same...add kids size peanut butter perfection from coldstone to the list!
Food dislikes: Had some broccoli last week that didn't taste so great
Missing: Cold is gone but I've had some hip pain on my left side lately at night and that's typically the side I sleep on.  Still getting up twice a night to pee...don't think this will change!

What we've been up to:
We've both had busy weeks at work but Rollie's managed to prime the nursery...so now its time to paint the ceiling, walls and trim!  We are painting the ceiling, trim and bottom half of the walls a nice crisp white and the top half of the walls a light grey (we have a chair rail separating the two).  We enjoyed the nice weather all week by working outside and relaxing on the deck in the sunshine!  Muro's come visit tomorrow for 3 nights...can't wait to see them and play with Kerrington :)

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...
