Birthday Weekend...

So, this weekend Matthew and I took a little time for ourselves and went away for the weekend.  It was so nice to escape reality, even if it was just for a couple of days.  We had a great trip and are not quite ready to be back into the swing of things.  On Saturday, (my birthday)  we were sitting in Hard Rock Cafe, and I felt this "fluttering sensation".  I kind of ignored it the first time...but after the second and third I realized that I could feel the baby moving!  What a great birthday gift!  I don't know if it was the loud music or the amount of food I consumed, but baby sure was active!  I felt baby on and off Saturday and Sunday, but today has been very quiet, which has me some concerned. 

This week I have felt great, other than still being very tired.  I splurged on Saturday and had some ice cream...it was wonderful!  It's the little things...

I go back to the doctor on Thursday to follow up on several of the tests I have completed, and for my next check up.  I am hoping that I will at least get to hear the heartbeat.  Been doing some research on heartbeats/gender...so we are hoping to maybe get a little clue!  Ha!  We still aren't sure!

11 Weeks!

Image
Today starts week 11 and sadly that means I am 1/4 of the way through this pregnancy.  How can that be already?  Baby is the size of a lime this week and apparently is growing fingers and toes!  It is starting to wiggle around in there and today I was able to feel a little of its movements...earlier than either of my other babies.  This week has been a little better in the glucose department, numbers are a little more consistent and I am finding a new stride with the insulin.  Hopefully we maintain this through the rest of pregnancy, but I won't hold my breath.  Baby has wanted Fazoli's breadsticks and Christmas tree cakes, neither of which are good for diabetic mama....but both are OH SO tasty!  hahaha.  I am officially down 20 pounds!  Hopefully I can keep it off once baby arrives.  Will. Power. Tomorrow I have a trifecta of appointments, starting with an ultrasound, meeting with the MFM dr, nutritionist, and my regular OB.  I...

Round 3!

Image
If you are choosing to follow me here again (or for the first time) during this pregnancy, thank you.  I found that I love going back and reading past entries about my other pregnancies and think "oh yeah!  There is a reason I blocked that out!"  haha.  I was debating on whether or not to keep this going through this pregnancy but I think I would be terribly disappointed later on if I choose not to, so here I go.  Yesterday I hit  9 weeks with baby number three.  I am officially (unofficially?) due July 4th, with the understanding that since this will definitely be a CSection I will deliver most likely near the end of June.  Firecracker (my pet name for this one) is the size of a grape (ish).  I was able to hear a good strong heartbeat at my last dr. appointment and all seems to be going well with baby.  So far I haven't had any nausea (hallelujah!) and have only thrown up a couple of times while trying to brush my teeth.  I am ...

Holy Week

Image
This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few ...
