Reagan week 23

This post has no pictures. Sorry. This week was busy with the end of school. McKenzie had the stomach bug on Thursday and I had it yesterday. Its been a week. Reagan seems to be doing well. She's still active and has had a bout of the hiccups every day. Here is the post from week 23.

Stretch marks? No! The cocoa butter is my best friend right now

Sleep: Ugg... I'm just not comfortable. Pillows don't help and I'm hot. Any suggestions?

Best moment this week: Ending school!
 Miss Anything? No


Movement: She's still super active... I was worried after my sickness and losing so much weight but she's let me know she's in there and ok!

Baby Girl!!!!

Again I skipped a week. The end of the school year is just so busy!

The most important news is we are having a little girl!!! Reagan will be coming sometime in September. We're not sure of her middle name yet AND we are going to keep it a surprize. Don't complain ... you didn't find out McKenzie's name until she was born! Here are some pictures from 20 weeks(the ones with stickers) and 21 weeks.

How far along? Today I'm 22 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain: 5 lbs at my last appointment .. I'm up to 143

Maternity clothes? Right now my fav is the black shorts Melissa gave me and my jean capris

We have a Mover

Well, I skipped week 18 but oh well. Life is busy. The past 2 weeks have been very exciting. Baby Seminole has started to move (a lot) and there have been some exciting changes in the Williams household. Jason turned 28 (finally back to being within a year of me) and I have a new job. I will be a PB Ritch Raven next year! More about that move will be in the Williams blog soon (mainly as soon as I know more). Here is the update for week 19.

The Baby had its head/booty something sticking out in the spot my top hand is pointing to. I'm going with head with as big as McKenzie's was/is

How far along? 19 weeks and 4 days in the picture, today 19 weeks and 6 days

Total weight gain: My guess is around 4 lbs. I think I will get weighed when I go to the doc on Monday

Maternity clothes? How do some women make it thier whole pregnancy without wearing maternity clothes? I'm loving the shirts with the rouched sides!
Stretch marks? No!
 Sleep: Good, started using a pillow between my legs
Best moment this week: Tuesday ~ it was Jason's birthday and we took the day off to hang out. It was fun AND I got the call I'd gotten the new job. McKenzie was super sweet and Baby Seminole #2 move around a lot
Miss Anything? No
Movement: Oh yeah. Anytime I'm still. Last night I thought the baby was doing the chop in my belly. I say chop and not war chant because we were watching the Braves and they were coming back and going into extra innings. I think my children are just born knowing how to chop/chant. When I was preggo with Kenz it took Jason until about 24 weeks before he could feel her kick. This baby has let his/her daddy know he/she is in there already!
 Food cravings: Chocolate covered doughnuts, big pretzels
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
 Gender: I'm still undecided... we'll find out Monday though!!!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Sore hips and lower back, I don't remember that with McKenzie
Belly Button in or out? Flat
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Finding out on Monday if we are having a boy or girl, then it'll be Mother's Day and my parents and one of our best friends, Jeffrey, is coming in town!

17 weeks

Another busy week has come and gone. This past week was full of tutoring and working the nursery plus an overnight field trip to Savannah with 215 8th graders. This week I also went to the doctor. The midwife asked about movement and I said I'd felt a lot and I don't think she believed me until she tried to find the heartbeat and Baby Seminole #2 wouldn't be still and she could feel him/her move. The best thing about week 17 was scheduling the ultrasound to find out if we are having a baby boy or girl!!!

How far along? In the picture 17 weeks and 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: 2 lbs ( I gained 4lbs throughout the last month)
 Maternity clothes? My favorites are tanks that show off my belly so I don't look fat. I did wear some maternity shorts this week and they were comfy but I didn't feel super stylish
 Stretch marks? Nope! 
 Sleep: Very well once I get to sleep, my belly is starting to keep me from falling asleep easily
 Best moment this week: Scheduling the day to find out if we are having a boy or girl ~ May 7th!

Miss Anything? I wanted sushi this week
 Movement: Oh yeah, especially in the evening/night time
 Food cravings: Chocolate covered glazed doughnuts
 Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope 
 Gender prediction: I am still going with girl 

Belly Button in or out? Flat
 Wedding rings on or off? On
 Happy or Moody most of the time: This past week I was happy! 
 Looking forward to: Finding out what we are having!

16 weeks a little late
