New stroller!!

We got a new stroller today and I am so excited for it's potential!

We got the Baby Jogger City Select and I am so excited for all of the different ways we can use this stroller. While we are still a one baby family we can use it in single mode and when the new baby joins us he will already be use to the stroller.

See all the combinations this thing can do:

19 weeks pregnant

Today I am 19 weeks pregnant today and I can't believe how quickly time is flying by. I had my 20 week ultrasound today and let's just say that this baby is just as stubborn as Kalen was. I have to go back next week because they could not get some of the pictures they need. Silly baby!!

How far along? 19 weeks

Maternity clothes? yes
Stretch marks? Yes :(
Sleep: I find myself waking up on my stomach. It is very uncomfortable but it's how I sleep normally so I am sure thats why it keeps happening
Best moment this week: Seeing baby T #2 on the ultrasound
Movement: I have been selling small movements when I am laying down at night but that's it so far
Food cravings: STEAK!
Gender: I am not telling but I may know
Labor Signs: Nothing
Belly Button in or out? Still in
What I miss: Beer
What I am looking forward to: drinking a beer..... hahaha
Weekly Wisdom: nothing.....

Milestones: not sure we have reached any yet

Wow

Life has taken over. No more mommy free time, no more afternoon naps.

I have been crying a lot lately.... uncontrollably! Mostly at work which I am sure is a 50/50 split brought on by baby #2 and feeling so "temporary" at work. It's really embarrassing when my co-workers come into my office and I am crying for no real reason. I hope this is going to stop SOON!

The weirdest part about being back to work is that as much as it breaks my heart each morning to drop Kalen of at the day home I don't miss him when I am gone. Please don't take that the wrong way, I love him SO much and I love when I pick him up and he is clearly happy to see me. Maybe it's because he is with a friend that I trust so I don't have to worry about him. Maybe it's because I like being a mommy with more to talk about then just poop and sleep patterns.

I am now just about 17 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and all I can say is I am tried and emotional. I have been over reacting about most things for the last 2 weeks and even though I know that to be true (after the fact) in the moment I have no greater want then to punch someone in the face.... so instead I cry.

I am not sure this post was more then just a mangled up ramble but it's what is in my head right now.

It's almost here

I can't believe that my baby boy will be 1 tomorrow. He is changing daily and I am so in love with him!

He is starting to be a goofy baby. He will do things if he thinks you will laugh and he absolutely loves it when you play hide and seek with him. I love it that he scrunches his little nose when he likes what you are doing.

Tomorrow my baby will be a toddler and while I am excited for all of the adventures ahead I am sad to see this part of Kalen's life pass.

I hope I don't shed any tears tomorrow but I have a feeling I will.

I love you Kalen!!!!!
