What a rough week!

I'm not gonna lie...this last week has been ROUGH.  Sunday I woke up with what I thought were fairly normal pregnancy symptoms...nausea, achy, other not so lovely things....but ya know. I have had such a great pregnancy up until this point that I figured it was about time for some symptoms.  Monday morning rolled around and my back was killing me - I thought I had a kidney infection.  I called the dr and this lovely nurse (Someone remind me to send her flowers or something...seriously, she is amazing) told me that she believed that I had the stomach bug.  I doubted her....not sure why, but I did.  Within the hour I had no more doubts and I was sure death was eminent. Y'all, I made it 6 years of teaching with no stomach bug, but being a SAHM got me.  lol.  Then, of course, just as I was on the upswing...Elliott got it.  Thankfully she seemed to have a mild case, but sheesh.  NO FUN. 

Both babies had a check up this week.  Yesterday was Elliott's turn.  She had her 18 month (yeah, we are a month behind on those).  She is in the 25% for height and weight (shock!) and her head is in the 75%.  She has met all of her milestones for 2 years.  She doesn't love the dr and gets very upset when she comes close.  lol.  She got one shot and has done really well. 

Baby #2 had a check up today as well.  We were checking the baby's neck for possible deformities from the diabetes.  Everything looked perfectly normal!  The baby jumped every time the ultrasound tech pushed my belly and kept putting it's hands up to it's face.  It was so cute!  We get to go back and find out gender in 7 weeks.  I am so so excited!

I have recovered from the stomach bug and am back to feeling great.  I finally got some strawberry ice cream so I am an even happier girl.  lol.  I feel like I have stretched out a little further this week, which means baby bean is getting bigger! I am getting ready to transition to second trimester, and hopefully with that, I will gain a little bit more energy back. 

We still have no boy names picked out....if it is a girl, we are good to go.  lol.  This week my newsfeed has been full of friends announcing pregnancies in October...it is going to be a busy month for babies!  I am so excited!

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
