20 Weeks

Tomorrow I am 20 weeks pregnant! Halfway done already?? Insane. Oh and it is a BOY! We are so excited to welcome a sweet baby boy into the family :) I have been feeling pretty great! Second trimester is always nice... I was more sick at the beginning than with Jayne. I can't complain though. It was never too bad, and I only threw up twice. But I am glad to be over the nauseous feeling. Also good news is that I don't have gestational diabetes, at least so far! They tested for me earlier than normal with this one because I had it with Jayne. I will be tested for it again around 26 weeks or so. Hopefully I pass again then too! If not, then oh well. Whatever I need to do to have a healthy baby!

 This picture is from yesterday :) I love his cute little face! 

 These were from the last ultrasound when we found out he was a boy! 

 I had to go buy a little boys outfit of course! 

 I told Jayne she was going to have a little brother and that was an outfit for him, and she said "aww!" and hugged it by her face haha. 

 My friend Jannae is so nice! She gave me this crocheted blanket that she made! 

Welp here is what the belly looks like. 

 
How far along: 20 weeks (tomorrow)
Size of Baby: About 6.5 in.
Maternity Clothes: Not really wearing any yet.... Except I can't wear normal jeans. I feel like he is so much lower than Jayne was. I haven't been able to wear normal jeans in a while. I can only wear jeggings that are stretchy and don't have a button. Even those are uncomfortable sometimes. 
Weight gain: I don't keep track haha. 
Stretch Marks: None so far (knock on wood). I didn't get any on my stomach with Jayne. Hopefully I'll get lucky again! 
Sleep: Pretty good! I don't really ever have to wake up and pee in the night which is nice. 
Best Moment of the Week: Yesterday having an ultrasound and getting to see him again! 
Movement: Little kicks! I've been feeling them for a week or two now. Before that was just butterfly feelings. Thomas felt him kick the other day for the first time :) That was exciting! I feel like he doesn't move around as much as Jayne did. But maybe I'm just distracted by Jayne that I'm not paying as much attention haha. 
Cravings: Not really having any cravings right now... At the beginning it was pickles and cereal. 
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.... Except I'm not that big at all yet so I can kind of sleep in between being on my side and stomach. 
What I am looking forward to: I'm changing doctors! I go to Valley Women for Women right now, and I went there with Jayne, but I'm switching to Dr. Huish. I've heard great things about him. I decided that I wanted to see someone regularly (at VWFW you sometimes see different doctors....I didn't even know the lady who delivered Jayne) and also Dr. Huish delivers at Banner Gateway which is closer to us. VWFW delivers at Mercy Gilbert which is a great hospital and I enjoyed it there when I had Jayne, but it's just further away so Gateway is more convenient. My first appointment with Huish will be the middle of March. 
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Just some pain in my lower stomach from him pushing/my uterus expanding. Sometimes it's pretty painful! 
Nursery: He will be sharing a room with Jayne once he is sleeping through the night.... But at the beginning he will be in our room for a while. 
Emotions: Feeling good and excited to think about who he will look like... what he will act like.... :) And nervous because having a newborn and a toddler will not be that easy haha. 

18 Months

Jayney bug is EIGHTEEN MONTHS! Ok seriously she just turned a year old... These 6 months have gone by so fast!

Some things about this crazy girl...
*She is OBSESSED with being outside. She constantly is saying "outside! outside! outside!" while standing by the front door
*She never says a word just once. She will probably at LEAST say it 4 times (it gets super annoying sometimes like last week at church she dropped something and said "uh oh!" at least 10 times in a row (super loud) before getting down and picking it up haha)
*LOVES to scream (this is her new thing) when she wants attention.... Like, suuuper loud scream. She thinks it's hilarious. Sometimes she will even cover her mouth when she does it because she knows I will cover it if she doesn't hahaha (smart girl)
*Loves to sing the ABC's! I think it's because of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. She says "A B C E E F Beeeeee"
*Loooooves to play with her cousins/follow them around
*I want to remember some of the words she says and how she says it: airplane (airbo), turtle, ball, mama, dada, papa, nana, apple, outside, eat, more, please, thank you, Jesus (Je Je), cheese, milk, water, shoe, poopy diaper (bobo), nigh night, blanket (beeee), cup (pup), help please (uppa uppa), show, Elmo, Santa, piano (pee), cookie (doodie), car (sar),banana (bada), oatmeal, book, and sings along to songs like for example she says "up and down" for the people on the bus. She tries to copy random words we say... sometimes it sounds nothing like it haha. Or she will just look at us and not try to say it. And she can kind of say her name... it sounds like "Deee" haha. Jayne is kinda hard for her to say.
*Started counting! She can say the numbers: one, two, three (free), four, five, and ten haha. Not in that order... She does know it goes one two though!
*Is obsessed with taking baths at grandma's house
*Tries to put on her shoes 100 times a day haha
*Likes to carry around pillows and lay her head on them randomly on the floor
*Loves her baby dolls and will give them lots of hugs
*Grabs our glasses off our face all the time and thinks it's so funny
*Loves to look at books
*Cries for no reason all the time... She gets frustrated when she doesn't know how to tell me what she wants
*Definitely throwing fits when she doesn't get what she wants
*Sleeps from 7:30 pm -7:30 am usually
*Takes one nap at about 12:30 and sleeps 1.5-2 hours usually. Some days are only an hour though.
*We are blessed to have a child who loves her sleep. She may not have the longest nap, but she goes down super easy. And she sleeps all night. She gets excited to go to bed haha. Our next kid will probably be opposite... oh dear.... haha. I gotta prepare for that.
*She started doing this recently and it's so naughty but hilarious... She will be doing something she isn't supposed to, while saying "no no no no!" haha

 Superbowl Sunday with all her Crandell cousins. Lucky girl! 

 She loves baby Scarlett! Sometimes a little too much haha 

 She's a silly girl haha. She climbed in there herself and just hung out for a bit. 

 One of her favorite things to do is play outside in the sand at grandma's house! 

 Her outfit! Ahhhh it kills me. 

 Jayne and Payton wanted to play outside but it was raining 

 Sometimes when she wakes up she will just chill in her crib for like 30 minutes if I give her some books haha. 

 This was her face when we were watching airplanes taking off at the airport. She LOVED it! 

 No wonder she is so silly... ;)

 She was so proud of herself for getting out all the water bottles and putting them on the chair. I love how she does the most random things! 

 She loves her babies! 

 Daddy's glasses :) haha 

 She does this where she randomly lays on the floor for a minute haha 

 I love morning cuddles in our bed with Jayney bug 

 Officially in nursery! Grandma and grandpa are the nursery leaders, so she has been going in for a few months now, but not the whole time and we always stay in there with her. Which was super nice! Now she's in there full time since she's 18 months :) It's so funny... I'll walk her in there and she just gets SO excited and runs to play with the toys. She doesn't even say bye to me haha. I'm so glad she loves nursery! It probably helps that grandma and grandpa are in there :) 

Food stealer! haha this picture cracks me up 

I don't even think I've blogged anything about my pregnancy! I'm 17 weeks! I think this picture was from a couple weeks ago. Not sure. I will hopefully find out the gender very soon! Maybe even next week :) I'm feeling great and things are going good! Little aches and pains from my stomach stretching, but no sickness at all anymore which is always nice. 

Jayne will lift up my shirt to see my tummy and kiss my belly. I love this sweet girl!
