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.  :)

11 Weeks!

Image
Today starts week 11 and sadly that means I am 1/4 of the way through this pregnancy.  How can that be already?  Baby is the size of a lime this week and apparently is growing fingers and toes!  It is starting to wiggle around in there and today I was able to feel a little of its movements...earlier than either of my other babies.  This week has been a little better in the glucose department, numbers are a little more consistent and I am finding a new stride with the insulin.  Hopefully we maintain this through the rest of pregnancy, but I won't hold my breath.  Baby has wanted Fazoli's breadsticks and Christmas tree cakes, neither of which are good for diabetic mama....but both are OH SO tasty!  hahaha.  I am officially down 20 pounds!  Hopefully I can keep it off once baby arrives.  Will. Power. Tomorrow I have a trifecta of appointments, starting with an ultrasound, meeting with the MFM dr, nutritionist, and my regular OB.  I expect tomorrow to be fairly uneventful, but

Round 3!

If you are choosing to follow me here again (or for the first time) during this pregnancy, thank you.  I found that I love going back and reading past entries about my other pregnancies and think "oh yeah!  There is a reason I blocked that out!"  haha.  I was debating on whether or not to keep this going through this pregnancy but I think I would be terribly disappointed later on if I choose not to, so here I go.  Yesterday I hit  9 weeks with baby number three.  I am officially (unofficially?) due July 4th, with the understanding that since this will definitely be a CSection I will deliver most likely near the end of June.  Firecracker (my pet name for this one) is the size of a grape (ish).  I was able to hear a good strong heartbeat at my last dr. appointment and all seems to be going well with baby.  So far I haven't had any nausea (hallelujah!) and have only thrown up a couple of times while trying to brush my teeth.  I am absolutely freezing and it is impossible

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
