22 Week Update

This week has been a really great week.  Baby Girl is moving and stretching like crazy!  She has also been responding to different (loud) noises this week!  She jumps every time anyone around me uses a stapler.  lol.  I am, however, sleeping less during the night.  I have found myself awake and checking facebook and pinterest at very early hours of the morning - which is totally not me!  I am a sleeper...this baby is going to rock my world!  I feel as if my belly has slowed down in the growing department lately.  Still no weight gain, which I guess is good...but weight is migrating to my thighs and now my maternity pants are snug. 
   Samson is not loving all of the baby things that are finding their way into the house.  The other night he sniffed the bassinet and kept whining at me as if to say "What is it!?" and "Why is it here!?"  Poor little guy, isn't going to know what hit him when she gets here.
   This time next week I will be finished with ALL (can I repeat - ALL) of my graduate work!  I could not be more excited!  However, this next week is going to be awful.  The final projects for both of my classes are overwhelming.  Good thing baby girl keeps me up, that could come in handy.  Matthew will finish his grad work the week after.  It will be such a blessing to be finished.  In the meantime, please pray for us and our sanity in the next weeks.  :)

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
