Week 14

This week has been generally uneventful.  We had Maddison with us the better part of the week, which made us feel like we were back into routine after spring break.  Elliott is loving the warm weather and playing outside.  She loves to swing and slide.  It has been super fun watching her explore outside.   She has been a little more clingy to me this week, not sure the reasoning, maybe she is sensing that something is different.  

I went to my regular OB on Tuesday.  Have I mentioned that I LOVE her?  Seriously, if you are in the Louisville area and need an OB let me know and I will get you connected.  This was a regular check up, nothing fancy.  It was very early in the morning and she must not have had many patients because we were just chatting and having a great time.  lol.  She used the doppler to find the baby's heartbeat all the while chatting away about her experience at the dentist last week.  While she was talking she kept moving the doppler, but we weren't hearing a heartbeat.  This made me very anxious.  I was immediately sent to ultra sound where the tech had trouble finding it also, but we were laughing because the baby was squirming all over the place and wouldn't be still long enough to find it.  Finally, we were able to hear it and it is strong and healthy.   :)  Shew.  

I have been more achy this week with muscles shifting and the belly getting larger.  Other than that, no other pregnancy symptoms.  I do believe, however, that I am working on a sinus infection.  I haven't really had any allergy symptoms since I had Elliott, but alas, they have returned with a vengeance.  Hopefully it will move on quickly.  

This coming week is Holy week in the life of the church, pretty much the busiest week of the year.  We are very excited that Cornerstone is hosting the service of Darkness on Friday at 7pm.  Come see us, it will be awesome!  I have a meeting with my diabetes educator and we are having a very serious conversation about a pump.  Say a prayer for that y'all....I'm not sure I'm ready.  Other than that craziness, a normal week.  lol.

Yesterday we went to visit my sweet Auntie Kaye.  Elliott had a great time playing with her and Mickey the cat.  After our visit we stopped by the cemetery to visit my grandparents and my uncle.  While I was expecting Elliott one of my weekly pictures was at my grandmother's grave so I wanted to get a similar picture with this baby.  Elliott had fun playing with the flowers too.

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
