25 Weeks




How Far Along: 25 Weeks

Size of baby: Ellie is the size of Cauliflower. 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm still about 3lbs under pre-pregnancy weight, which is surprising after I ate everything but the kitchen table on Thanksgiving!

Maternity Clothes: I still hate maternity pants, so I'm trying to stick with leggings and/or dresses.   This leaves me about four outfits.  The good news it that I'm relearning the art of accessorizing.  

Gender: It's a girl...Elizabeth Victoria Watson!!!

Movement: Ellie is still very consistent with her activity times.  She's also getting much stronger, which is such a relief since I can't seem to gain weight.  At least I know she's growing!

Sleep: I really don't know how well I sleep thanks to Eli.  One thing is for sure, I will NOT complain.  Even if I wake up 60 times a night, it still beats the first two and a half years of Eli's life.  Ha!  Poor guy!

What I miss: Diet Cokes.  Sweat Tea is getting old...and fast!
Cravings: I really want sushi, but that's on my "Do Not Eat" list too!

Symptoms: I'm still feeling really well!  In fact, the only symptom I have to report is a weird nerve pinching on my right lower abdomen.  I go to the doctor on Friday, so I'll be sure to as about it then!

    Hey I forgot to tell you- the massage school is doing free prenatal massages this Friday for their class. Some coworkers did it! The number is 904-6380!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought ...

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...
