Luckly Little Seminole

So I found a template thing to try out with this baby blog. Here goes!

How far along? 12 weeks and 4 days


Total weight gain/loss: loss of 2 lbs

 Maternity clothes? Sorta, most pants don't fit so I am wearing some of my maternity jeans that have the low waist band but they are starting to hurt now. Thankfully it is warming up and I can wear dresses!!!

 Stretch marks? No!


Sleep: Something I want to do all the time! Most of the time I sleep well but I always get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I don't remember this starting this early when I was pregnant with McKenzie.

 Best moment this week: FSU winning the ACC Championship! I rubbed Baby Seminole #2 for good luck right before we made the free throws to go up by 3.

 Have you told family and friends: Yes!

 Miss Anything? Green Veggies, picking up McKenzie

 Movement: Not yet, I thought I felt flutterings on Sunday but not sure

 Food cravings: In the past - fried chicken but now it is gross, rice with soy sauce and home made french fries (but not at the same time)

 Anything making you queasy or sick: Green Veggies, although I did make little green peas the other day and not get sick; bone in fried chicken

 Have you started to show yet: Yes, I could still pass as chunky but its a baby belly for sure!

 Gender prediction: At the moment I have no clue...boy is what McKenzie keeps telling us so I'll go with that
Labor Signs: No 


Belly Button in or out? In


Wedding rings on or off? On


Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody- between being extremely tired and crazy 8th graders I'm pretty cranky. I'm happy at home though!


Looking forward to: March Madness (who knew I'd like college hoops so much) and PawPaws 80th bday party in Pensacola this weekend!

The last month - and some pictures

Well I am almost done with the 1st trimester so that means I have energy again! Baby Seminole #2 is doing great. Mommy has gone through some sickness and been really tired but its all worth it. By this time when I was pregnant with McKenzie the only pregnancy symptoms I had were extreme fatigue, extreme aversion to chicken and a few tight shirts and skirts. Now I'm 11 weeks and 3 days and again I've had extreme fatigue but my aversion is to green veggies and there are so many smells I can't stand. I've also poked out at this point. Most of my dress clothes don't fit... they are either too big or too small. But like I said, its all worth it.

We went for my 1st official OB appointment on Feb. 23 and I was so worried something was going to be wrong. I know of so many people who have had miscarriages I was so worried it would happen to me. Well, while we were in there it was difficult to hear the heartbeat. Apparently the midwives could hear a really faint one but I couldn't hear anything. The funny thing is that even while they were moving the doppler all around on my belly to find the heartbeat I wasn't worrying. I knew that God is in control and this baby is going to be ok. I wish this calm had been over me before the appointment. The good thing about not getting a real strong heartbeat was that we got to do a quick ultrasound! It is amazing how much the baby has grown and changed in 3 weeks.

I have some pictures of the baby and my belly. I plan on updating once a week from this point on. I saw a really cute idea of this blog on pinterest so we'll see.

The peanut shot - 6 weeks and 6 days

Ultrasound #2 - 9 weeks and 6 days - see how much he/she has grown

 9 weeks and 2 days - at Perdido Key for Winter Break

Happy 29th Birthday to me - 10 weeks and 3 days

New Due Date

Today was our 1st ultrasound with new little baby Seminole. I was nervous that something would be wrong because I know of so many people who have had miscarrages, but all was good. My orignial due date was September 6 but I am not measuring that far along. I am only measuring at 6 weeks and 6 days so Little Baby Seminole is due on September 21. I am excited about this date because it eliminates a lot of decisions about school for the baby. Also, later in September means a fall baby!
McKenzie seems to be doing well with the idea of a new baby. She tells me that there is a baby in her belly too. It is really cute! She also tells me she is going to have a baby brother. When I showed her the picture today and told her it was the baby she said "Ms. Stacey (our sitter) thats my baby brother". So funny. I am not sure how she would take it if we have a girl.
That is all for now. I go back on February 23rd for my 1st real appointment!

Another One is On the Way!

Since this was my pregnancy blog last time I have decided to make it again this time.
So yay! We are pregnant again!!!
I found out on January 11th and held it in to tell people until January 27th. Killer! McKenzie is excited to be a big sister though I don't think she knows what she is getting in to.
Jason and I are super excited to have another baby. I am nervous about how to juggle 2 kiddos at the same time but I know it will be fine, people do it all the time.
I feel great so far. I've been really tired and thats about all. No sickness or anything yet.
Oh, I'm 8 weeks and due September 6th. I will have another C-Section so I'm really looking at the end of August as my day to have a baby. We go Thursday February 2nd for our 1st ultrasound. I am praying that everything looks ok since we went ahead and decided to tell the whole world we're pregnant.
Stay tuned to this blog for more pregnancy updates!

Smiley Saturdays

Saturday McKenzie took a 3 hour nap and when she woke up was is a great mood! She was smiling for everyone which hsa been harder to come by lately. McKenzie is teething anf has been a little on the constapated side so she was very serious for most of last week. Here are some of my baby girl's smiles!

Football, Soccer, Bananas and Pretty Dresses

This past weekend was another full of 1sts for McKenzie. Saturday she attended her 1st football game - Austin Middle vs. East Paulding Middle. AMS won! Thats the school I teach at. Kenzie really liked the game ... she played and was entertained the whole time. Later we went to Jason's soccer game. He is coaching a 10-12 year old girls team. I don't know much about soccer but it was a nice day so we went. Later that night we started McKenzie with fruit ... bananas. She wasn't a huge fan but we're working on it. Sunday we went to church and I put McKenzie in a dress that I wore when I was little. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

McKenzie's 1st football game ... GO EAGLES!!!

Labor Day, 5 months, Eating and so much more

This past weekend was a busy emotional weekend. First off my parents and Ashley were in town for the long weekend. It was so much fun to get to hang out that I cried when they left. Second, McKenzie turned 5 months and started eating food this past weekend ... I cried about that too. Lastly FSU lost to Miami ... heartbreakingly. What are people trying to do to a girl?

On the 5 month note, here are McKenzie's stats. She's 17 lbs (I know, what a chunker) and 26 inches. She sits up now and loves to make noise. She's eating Carrots, Squash and Sweet Potaoes. She's not a big fan of the sweet potatoes though. Thats odd. She sleeps from about 8 to 6:45. She only gets up that early because thats when I leave to take her to the babysitter's and then I go to work. She loves being outside and playing with things that make noise. She has a "favoritre toy" doggie that sings that Papa gave her. Its really cute. I also had a Renegade that plays the War Chant that is now Kenzie's. She loves it and cries when it goes off. I knew she'd be a Seminole! When Kenzie is outside she likes to watch the cars go by.

Anyways, there are a TON of pictures that I could post but I narrrowed it down as much as possible. Enjoy!

My sweet 5 month old!
