20 week bump-date (baby #2)

20 weeks!!!! 

How far along: 20 weeks 

Gender: GIRL!!! Bring on more tutus, bows, glitter, and PINK!! 

Weight gain: 9+ lbs

Stretch marks: Nope! My belly is always moist!! My skin is thanking me ;) My hands wish they could be my belly (they are sooo dry..always!!). 

Maternity clothes: I feel like I live in scrubs or PJs. When I do get "dressed" I can still comfortably wear a few pairs of jeans but I'm loving my leggings these days!! 

Sleep: No change. I feel like I sleep great..I'm always exhausted but I think that's a night shift problem!  

Best moment this week: Dom being able to feel the baby move. It was just as exciting as the first time he felt Ayns!! 

Worst moment this month: Having a lovely head cold and Ayns getting an ear infection! :( We are all better now!! 

Miss anything: Not being out of air just by walking down a long hallway at work! And working out on a regular basis! 

Movement: Yes! Lots and lots. No specific time is there more movement then another time yet...but love feeling her kicks here and there!  

Cravings: Sushi and jimmy johns!! 

Queasy or sick: No! Thank goodness!!! 

Looking forward to: I got a pedicure on Monday with one of my best friends and had some much need girl-chat time!! We had our 20 week anatomy scan Tuesday and baby girl is healthy and active!! (All things I was looking fwd to on Sunday and they came and went!!)

19 week bare bump *covers eyes* and these are my lovely PJs I live in LOL!! 

We love our sweet girl soooo much!!! 

**For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.**

Aynslee Lou- 19-22 months old

Age: 19-22 months 

Height: 34 1/2 inches (3/1/15)

Weight: 27lbs (with clothes and a Dipe) 24.5lbs at home and nakey ;) 2.7.15

Milestones: *We started (more relaxed, go with the flow) potty training! 1.13.15 she went poop in the potty (I know y'all don't care..but I blog to look back at and compare different things to). She does pretty well as of the first of February. She will now tell us she has to go "poopy" all the time. It's often her just needing to go potty but still exciting that she's starting to take the initiative. Also, in the last few weeks when we are out in public she will tell me she needs to go and actually go. 

*1.20.15 she uses please, thank you, and excuse me pretty frequently now days. 

* 1.28.15 She started talking in complete sentences. Her first sentence was, "I sit down on couch." Some of her favorite phrases are "Why, Mommy?" "Stop it!!" <-- she usually only says that to her Daddy when he keeps bugging her. She also loves, "Oh goodness!" She's a hoot and we are so thankful for her!! 

Sleep: Goes to bed between 7-8pm and wakes up between 0730-0800. She naps once a day...usually goes to sleep between 1-2pm and sleeps 2-3hours. 

Best Moment: We had a wonderful Christmas  together as a family.Aynslee loves spending time at her Nana and Poppa's house. We went to a concert in KC and she loved it and enjoyed every second of it!!  

Worst moments: Her getting soo big that she knows how to "work" Mom and Dad now!! And her little fit throws where she throws herself on the ground and puts her head into her arms. :( 

Eating: She loves to eat. Yogurt is still one of her favorites along with whatever Mama and Daddy are eating. She is super weird with meats. If it's cut up and mixed in something she gobbles it down. If Dom fries the turkey or ham on the stove she loves it. If it's on our plate she wants it. But just plain meat it's a challenge to get her to eat it. Thankfully we place any food she doesn't eat (reasonable portion) into a container and she must eat her food for lunch or dinner before she can have a snack or a sweet treat. Works like a charm every time!! :)) 

Extras: I can't wait to see Ayns be a big sissy. She loves, loves, loves babies so it will be fun for her to have one around all the time....or not!! Hahahaha 

18 week bump-date (Baby #2)

How far along: 18 weeks 

Gender: GIRL!!! Bring on more tutus, bows, glitter, and PINK!! 

Weight gain: 6+ lbs

Stretch marks: Nope! And I'm loving the Honest Co. belly balm! 

Maternity clothes: Picked up some summer stuff here and there off of clearance! Still can wear my jeans but they are getting uncomfortable if I have to sit for long periods! 

Sleep: No change. I feel like I sleep great..I'm always exhausted but I think that's a night shift problem!  

Best moment this week: Telling the world it's a baby girl and have Ayns "play" with her baby sissy! 

Worst moment this month: Still having no energy. Thankful for a husband who's getting good at picking up my slack! 

Miss anything: just my lovely Jimmy Johns!! 

Movement: Yes! But not big enough to feel on the outside yet. Can't wait for Dom and Ayns to feel her kick!! 

Cravings: Tostadas, Sushi, and crab ragoons!! (Hopefully will be getting some yummy shrimp tempura roll for my b-day!) 

Queasy or sick: No! Thank goodness!!! 

Looking forward to: Feeling the big kicks and our 20 week ultrasound!!!
