Pink Explosion



 

So of course, since we found out that our sweet baby is a girl, there has been a pink explosion at our house.  lol.  We, of course, had to stop by Target on the way home Thursday night, and of course, Saturday we went to Walmart....and Matthew's parents went to a church consignment sale...and so it begins.  lol.  Finding out the gender of our sweet little one has made this whole experience much more "real".  I know it is "real" because I am the one who is carrying this child, but even so, there have been times when I have wondered if I wasn't just imagining all of it.  Now it is very real.  No, we are not sharing her name, but Matthew has began referring to her by name, which was a bit odd at first, but has helped reality set in for sure. 

I am still feeling well this week.  I have found that I can't walk or stand for long periods of time, as my back doesn't want anything to do with that. The round ligament pains are still hanging around too.  Other than that, I feel great.  The doctors appointment went very well.  Everything still looks good for me and for baby girl.  She has everything she is supposed to have, four chambers in the heart, kidneys, bladder, fingers, toes and a cute little nose!

Baby Girl's nursery will be aqua and coral.  I haven't found that perfect bedding yet and am wondering if I am going to have to buy some fabric and sweet talk one of my sweet aunts into making it for me.  lol.  I am really starting to want to "nest", but I have to finish all of my grad school work first.  I am officially done in two weeks, so if I can just hang in there, it will all be done!  Other than aqua and coral, there is no "theme".  No characters, shapes, or otherwise.

We are very excited about our little girl.  Thank you so much for your prayers for us and for your excitement as we celebrate her coming.

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
