Halfway There!

     Today marks 20 weeks! Halfway to meeting our little one!  Crazy huh?  In just 20ish weeks our little one will be here and our lives will forever be changed! 
     This week Baby Kimmons has been a wild child!  lol.  It is moving and grooving something crazy in there!  It is definitely gaining strength and aim.  The movements have been much more frequent and much more entertaining this week for sure.  My sleep patterns...not so much.  I am now waking up with round ligament pains.  (Seriously, no one could have warned a girl about those??)  I feel like all I want to do right now is sleep, but between the pains and the CrAzY dreams, sleep isn't very restful.  My dreams are becoming much more random and much more vivid.  Maybe this is God slowly preparing me for when baby gets here. 
     Next week we go back to the doctor.  Hopefully Baby Kimmons will cooperate and let us find out gender!  We are still in agreement that we are not going to share the names, however, we are still disagreeing over the boy name!  Just when we thought we had it figured out! lol.  With any luck, we will be able to settle it soon!  I know we technically have until that baby gets here, but I really want to have that settled so that I know what I am going to call the baby.  I am so excited to really begin getting to know my little one, knowing the name is the first step of that process for me. 
   Please continue to pray for my friend and her little one, as well as my aunt and uncle.

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

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

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
