Week 16!

Can I pound this out quickly before my kiddos wake up from their naps?!

We'll see. The race is on.

An EARLY 16-week post...because let's face it, I've been a loser! So this will count for the rest of this week and next. Just humor me.

Not shockingly, I am finding it more difficult to keep up with this blog the third time around. But it is important to me, and so, I carry on (poorly, but still).

We've had a very busy week/weekend! Park trips, play dates, library visits, a housewarming party, a block party, AND T's birthday! Needless to say, we are wiped out. I honestly thought that I would have my energy back by now. But I definitely, definitely do not.

I have heard that each subsequent pregnancy is more difficult and harder on your body. But if this were the truth, how would mankind survive?! I am guessing that this is simply the result of chasing two little ones while preggo. It's tough, but I certainly wouldn't have it any other way.

That's my little Kiki waaaaaay down there, under the table, as usual.

Diaper parties are the best kind of parties.

Her ponytail!!!

Playing with our new water table, courtesy of the neighbors!

Fun with cones at the block party!

   

Firetruck!

She painted her own face. Can you tell?!

I finally got a BACKPACK diaper bag instead of a purse! Guys! Game changer! My 15-mo. old Kiki is still not walking (she totally can, and has the skill, but will not! Infuriating!) and I could not carry a purse anymore. This is helping big time!

Post Nutella, looking like Captain Hook.

Happy birthday to my hubs!

Still forging ahead with my plant-based diet (or trying to...) this is on the menu tonight!

YUM!

So yeah, that's the scoop this week! Eating lots of plants and veggies, feeling exhausted and nauseous most of the time, but having a great time with  my girls regardless. I'm simultaneously ready and not ready for fall, ya know?! But of course I love getting closer to meeting you, baby bud. Tomorrow is our 16-week appointment...I can hardly wait!

Well-hidden, but growing by the second. 

How far along? 15 weeks + 4 days!

Clothing? Limited. Ready for the intense heat to be over so I can break out my leggings!

Stretch marks? Yeah man.

Sleep? Poor. We'll just leave it at that.

Best moment of this week? Flutters! Parties! Birthdays! Spending time with my whole fam! And oh, this is random, but my photography was featured this week in my class's weekly newsletter...that was cool!

Worst moment of this week? Not feeling good. Boo.

Miss anything? MY ENERGY.

Movement? I'm gonna say YES. I am 99% sure that it's been going on for awhile now...haha!

Symptoms? EXHAUSTED,  indigestion LIKE WOAH, sore belly, nausea, some dizziness, not great sleep.

Food cravings? Salty stuff. Lemonade. 

Gender? We'll say boy! (BTW, not finding out, again!)

Labor Signs? Nope.

Belly button in or out? Most of the way out.

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Mood? Happy, sleepy, super weepy (TV, commercials, etc.)

Looking forward to? My appointment tomorrow, and slowly transitioning into fall! Woohoo!

Stay blessed friends!
