1st T-ball Practice

When I signed Trenton up for T-Ball I envisioned that I would be relaxing in a chair on the side lines while Daddy did practice with him. Well with Daddy’s new interim head coaching job Mom and Little T are on their own! It took him a bit to warm up to the idea of playing with a bunch of kids he didn’t know, but once he relaxed he had so much fun. He really is a good hitter and we have an incredible team!!  I was a little nervous about T having to hit off the tee because at home he prefers to hit the ball when we throw it to him.  The parents were very energetic and involved! The kids decided that since we were dark green we would be called the Gobblins and apparently very few parents have washed WHITE baseball pants because that’s what they all voted for. I voted BLACK! All in all it was fun and I hope Daddy can make it to the next few because this Mama was hot and sick the whole time!! I also didn’t get a lot of pictures because I was busy helping him on the field!

Waiting in line to hit the ball!

The coach had the boys practice fielding the ball with their hands first no gloves! Good idea coach!

Great catch buddy!

19 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 19 Weeks

Size of baby: 6 inches long and weighs 8.5 ounces. He is the size of a large heirloom tomato!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 4lbs
Maternity Clothes: 100% in maternity clothes. I wear dresses ALOT, but had to wear maternity jeans to work!

Gender: BOY!!
Movement: I feel him move a lot now. He likes to kick very low! Becoming more active during the day than at night. 

Food Cravings: Just food!! I can’t stop eating!

What I miss: Cool weather!

Sleep: Sleeping ok  because I am completely exhausted by bed time, but have INSANE dreams. Had a dream I had an ultrasound and my baby only had one giant eyeball, but my OB didn’t seem concerned. He said he already ordered an extra eye for him! WHAT?!?

Symptoms: The heat and stress of chasing my 3 year old apparently makes me really sick in the evenings! Also feeling a lot of round ligament pain.

Best Moment this week: Being told “I can’t believe you are almost 20 weeks, you look amazing” And I was in a swimsuit!!

What I am looking forward to: Doctor Appointment on June 16. Get to hear heart beat!

Still the Queen of the House

Well by now everyone knows we are having another little boy. It has taken me a while to come to peace with this (not sure why). I guess I really just wanted a little girl. I am learning over the last week why I am having boys!

There is nothing better than my sweet 3 year old waking up and giving me a BIG hug and kiss and telling me how much he loves me!

I like being outside, chasing lizards and catching frogs. I don’t know how precious a little girl in a tu-tu would be trying to catch a frog!

I love that when we are somewhere completely inconvenient for T to go potty that we can always find a place to go (some people say that’s gross, but it’s better than peeing in his pants).

The fact that a bandaide and a kiss from Mommy solves all injuries.

And finally I married a coach. We do sports year round. I have boys to pass on my husbands athletic legacy and one day will get to travel to watch them play sports. I love my boys and I am really excited to have another one!

With summer in full swing (or at least it feels that way outside) we have been enjoying quite a few popsicles and we introduced T to watermelon! HE LOVES IT!

Why wouldn’t I want to be surrounded by more handsome faces like this!  

I am such a proud Mommy and wife. I love my boys and can’t wait to meet this next little sweetie pie! Maybe we will try for a 3rd in a couple years!! :) 

18 Weeks

Last Tuesday I was officially 18 weeks. I am a little late posting this, but better late than never. We were so excited about our ultra sound! Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 18 Weeks

Size of baby: 5.5 inches long and weighs 7 ounces. He or she is the size of a bell pepper!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 2lbs
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing a belly band for most of my pants and since it is so hot outside I am wearing a lot of dresses. I am pretty much out of regular clothes for a while!

Gender: BOY!!
Movement: Yes! I am starting to feel them more frequently during the day now. He is not nearly as active as Trenton was! Maybe that’s a sign! :)

Food Cravings: Just food!!

What I miss: I really can't say I miss a thing other than uninterrupted sleep.
Sleep: I'm sleeping ok other than the dreams that wake me up nightly.

Symptoms: Crazy dreams! I am sick every time I brush my teeth (same as with Trenton). I have to breath heavily to avoid puking to all the awful smells in grocery stores and other public places.

Best Moment this week: Trenton kissed my belly this week and said, "I wuv your baby Mama!"

What I am looking forward to: 3D/4D Ultra sound in a few weeks. My Dr. uses old school equipment.

Name Ideas: Trace Daniel, Ian Daniel, Tyce Daniel

Proud Big Brother!

Memorial Day at the Beach

Sunday we headed down to Galveston to meet some friends for a beach day. It was a nice change to going out on the boat and nice because we live so close! T was a little hesitant at first, but quickly warmed up to the beach and would even walk out with Daddy to kick the waves. Limited pictures as this pregnant Mama was in the water most of the time! It was fun spending time with Carrie and her family. Poor little Dayton was so tired, but after several attempts Gene got him to sleep! He was very proud of himself…and should be!

Looking for sea shells in the water!

My boys

Kicking the waves

These are the best chairs for the beach. We camped out in the water all day!

Trenton taking a moment to sun bathe!

I would say this is a look of complete happiness! And a successful day in the sun.

 

Hopefully we will take more “staycations” to Galveston this summer since we are not traveling much. Stay tuned next week for a very special post! We find out Boy or Girl on Tuesday!!
