Oh where oh where have you gone?

Ok energy, I am in the 2nd trimester which is supposed to mean you aren't tired anymore right?
Wrongo with this kiddo! It seems that I'm almost every day tired at about 4:00 pm.  Today after Ryan left for school I was so dang tired I physically couldn't keep my eyelids open any longer. So I turned on some netflix for MJ and allowed myself a little nap on the couch next to her. Well what did my little one do while I was resting? She found her stash of hidden dum dum suckers and opened about 6 or 7 of them and when I woke up looks at her with those innocent big brown eye and says ''mommy, yummy suckers!" I just had to laugh and wash her sticky hands and face off letting her finish at least one of them. Looks like I need to find a better spot for her suckers.

This girl... is obsessed with wearing her fairy dress whenever possible and looking at her baby pictures/videos on our phones. She is just too funny.

          And that book she is holding is a staple every evening before bed time. Her awesome grandparents who are like my second mom and dad gave it to her when we informed them we were getting rid of the binky cold turkey a couple of months ago. Book found HERE

                               These two aren't related at all...haha

                 And might I had she can get some pretty sweet bed head.

                           Granny and MJ at Uncle Kelly's memorial, it has been one year since his
                            tragic death. I'll forever always remember him thinking he was just so cool
                       and very talented musically. I'm grateful for the tender mercies of our Father in Heaven.

                                     

                        MJ hanging out with someone her own size, isn't he the cutest.

                                Life is short, too short. What makes the hard times a little less hard
                      is having an amazing family. I have been so blessed to part of this incredible family.

                 The sun was shining, it was such a beautiful day. Those who spoke did it beautifully. I'm so grateful to have been able to be there and feel so much love.

15 weeks

This pregnancy is going by so quickly!! With the anticipation of having Mary, time moved like molasses. I couldn't wait for that little e-mail update each week to tell me the news of our little ones growth and changes in me. Now before I know that that e-mail arrives earlier then I expected it. 

How far along: 15 weeks
Gender: no clue but I'm fairly certain boy this time around!
Maternity Clothes: no just wearing leggings and other stretchy pants. Bring on Spring and maxi skirts!
Stretch Marks: only the ones MJ so kindly gave me
Weight gain/loss: Down 8 pounds. I seriously have no appetite and when I am hungry I can only eat as much as a small child. I get filled quickly. No complaining here!
Cravings: This kid is a carnivore. Give me meat and potatoes, burgers, pork. Get in my belly!
Sleep: Not the greatest, nothing to do with this babe but MJ has decided since she got sick after Christmas that she only wants to sleep in our bed which means she screams in bed for an hour or so and then will wake up at 3/4/5:00 in the morning and makes her way into our bed so we can get a few more hours of shut eye. This will hopefully stop sooner then later because once this belly gets really big there wont be any room left for her in our bed.

Best moment this week: Eating Cafe Rio twice in one week. So. Dang. Good. this baby loves meat.
Belly button in or out: Always in, That was one thing I had hoped for in pregnancy was to get an outie. I have a MAJOR innie and always hated it.
Wedding ring on or off: On

Happy or Moody: Happy, with the exception of once this last week I was starving and not a happy camper to see that our left over pizza was gonzo. Hubby got an apology after...
Looking forward to: Feeling movement and if Mary will have a little brother or sister!
