    Baby #4 – 22 Weeks Update

    How far along? 22 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs as far as I know Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I have been sleeping SO well these past few days, however I think that’s because J and I worked our tails off in the front yard the other day, then moved furniture around in the living room and kitchen…. we wore ourselves out!  Best moment this week: I’m finally feeling very distinct movement, both inside and outside! This has been the hardest part of this pregnancy, I’ve had anterior placentas every pregnancy, but it took the longest time to feel movement with this little man!…

    Baby #4 – 20 Weeks

    How far along? 20 weeks Total weight gain/loss: 2lbs total. Dang! Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I sleep like the dead, until a wee little Bird comes into our bed and starts kicking and tossing and turning… Best moment this week: We found out that Baby Bear is a BOY! Movement: A little! He was moving all over the place during our ultrasound and I only felt two kicks the entire time. It was crazy! I’m definitely feeling more now though! Food cravings: Pineapple Gender: Boy Labor signs: None. Belly button in or out? In Wedding rings on or off? On and super loose! Yikes! What I miss: Right now I’m missing…

    Baby #4 18 Weeks

    How far along? 18 weeks Total weight gain/loss: Weighed at last appointment and I haven’t gained a thing… big surprise there considering I can’t really eat much! Maternity clothes? Yep. With some LLR thrown in as well. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I sleep okay, nights when Bird climbs into bed with us are rough because she tosses and turns, but when she sleeps in her own bed all night I sleep great! Best moment this week: We took a trip to Ohio to see my mom’s side of the family, it’s been 2 years since we’d seen most of them and 9 years for a few others! Movement: Very few, this dang…

    Baby #4 – 16 Weeks

    How far along? 16 weeks Total weight gain/loss: Haven’t weighed myself, though my appetite is starting to come back, so I imagine if I haven’t already that I’ll start gaining some. Maternity clothes? Yep. All the time, plus some LuLaRoe thrown in as well. I cannot wear regular jeans anymore, they hurt my stomach. And while I can wear regular tees, they look kind of weird when they’re not contoured to shape over a bump now.  Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: I’ve actually been sleeping pretty well. Exhaustion is definitely starting to hit me, I definitely don’t follow the tell-tale signs of a typical pregnancy. Second trimester does NOT…

    How to Survive the Start of the New School Year – Home School Edition

    This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NourishWhatsNext #CollectiveBias It’s no secret that we are homeschooling our children, it’s also no secret that we just found out that I’m expecting our fourth child! Needless to say, both of these are exhausting on top of the every day “mom tasks”. We just started our school year, Boogie is starting Kindergarten and Bubby is starting Pre-Kindergarten. Starting a new school year is intimidating and exciting all at the same time. You have a huge weight on your shoulders to offer an education to your children and the sense of excitement from you and…
