Week 15

Holy Week + Pastor's family = oy.  lol.  I love Holy week, it is truly one of my favorite times of the year.  Not only does it mean that we are officially (at least in my book) into spring, but thinking of Christ's journey and sacrifice just makes the whole week perfect.  We are all feeling so blessed but so worn out.  

Elliott has had such a fun week with her first Easter egg hunts.  We attend a music class for toddlers here in town and they use shaker eggs in class, when Elliott first saw them she thought they were the "shaky eggs" and was so excited!  Putting the shaky eggs in the basket was great fun.  I love that we have had such beautiful weather for all the festivities.  Amazing!  

I have felt pretty good and my belly is growing so all of the muscles are grumpy about that, but it is exciting to know that the baby is growing too!  I saw my DE (Diabetes Educator) this week and she adjusted my insulin (again...I mean, it pretty much happens every time I talk to her...).  This time the change has had a negative impact on me.   I have been running extremely low for several days now...a little too much insulin.  This is a really terrible feeling and once I recover from the low I get really tired.  Hopefully I will get all of that straightened out tomorrow.  

I have finally switched out my closet so now I only have maternity clothing in there.  I have to say though, many of my friends complain about their maternity wardrobe, but I do believe that my maternity clothes are way cuter than my regular ones.  lol.  I am starting to get really antsy to nest and to get baby's nursery going. I can't wait to find out the gender of this baby!  Your guesses are welcome!  lol  (And boy name suggestions, because seriously, if it is a boy, he will never have a name...)

If any of my sweet friends (or family) are looking to get rid of their Ergo carrier we would love to make a deal with you.  :)

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
