Week 16

The weeks seem to be going by pretty quickly....maybe it's because we are crazy busy, or maybe....no, probably just crazy busy.  I am feeling SO MUCH better this week!  My sinus infection is mostly gone and it has taken the nausea with it.  I have been having some other pain that I plan on asking my doctor about next week, but it seems to be pretty normal.  This week I am STARVING.  True story.  I have been eating a lot. I mean, I have been eating good stuff, because I have to...but I eat a lot of it.  Should be interesting to see if/how much weight I have gained this time.
Foods I currently love:
 Grapes
Raisins
Macaroni and Cheese
Kraft Singles (more cheese)
Chocolate (Sugar Free of course!) pudding

I am still super tired.  Last night I feel asleep on the sofa around 9:30pm.  I woke up at 4:00 am.  My husband said he tried to wake me up 4 times, to no avail.  I was still in my work clothes.  Ridiculous.

This week I have a super large program going on at school.  I love seeing all of the families coming out to see how their kiddos are involved in the arts at school.  The kids are sooo excited!  I am excited too....but overwhelmed.  There is so much work that goes into a program like this.  I thought it was hard in years past, this year is super hard being pregnant.

We go back to the doctor next week.  We are going to try and negotiate an earlier ultrasound.  We will see how that goes.  If you haven't voted boy or girl, make sure you do!  I love seeing the votes come in.  Also, if you have name suggestions we would love to hear them!

    What style of names do you like? I loved the www.behindtename.com website for meanings and historical information. Plus their database is just huge. :)

Trying times...

  Yes, today is 14 weeks and yes a picture is coming I promise, but hubby isn't home yet.  :(  But I need to vent.  Today has been a very emotionally trying day.  Life seems to be overwhelming me (probably along with a few hormones too!) and I am really struggling today.  Between work, grad school, and other aspects of life, I am left worn out and stressed out.  I am well aware that I am very blessed.  I have been blessed with some amazing opportunities in life and even now with this baby on the way I realize how great I have things.  However, maybe this baby is helping me to put things into perspective.  Some of the things that I once found so important don't seem to matter as much.  Deadlines have been mere suggestions lately.  Most of all, I feel like I am struggling to find my voice in the sea of those who want to tell me what to do, how to do it, or how I should be feeling right now.  I can't decide if I want to cry or sleep.  I know that many of you are going throu

Holy Week

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 cravings this week, but unfortunately, I am cravi

Whadda ya think?

So, now that we have shared our big news, everyone's next question is..."well, are you going to find out the gender?"  My response is "ABSOLUTELY!" Ha!  My Type A- OCD personality has to find out.  Many people love the element of surprise that comes with not finding out, but I think the surprise of just meeting our beautiful baby will be enough, the rest must be planned.  :)  As far as preference, we don't really have one.  I would love to have a little girl to put big bow and flowers on their head and to cover in ruffles and frills, but a little boy would be tons of fun.  As long as the baby is happy and healthy, we are thrilled either way.  I have had several people make their suggestions as to gender based on my appearance.  One family member says it's a boy cause I am carrying all in front, a friend says it's a girl cause I am carrying down low.  My friends think it's a boy cause I haven't been puking like they were and they both had girl
