Things just seem to be moving so fast! 15 weeks! I organized my maternity pants this week and again, why did I wait so long? They are so much more comfy. I'm starting to feel less pudgy and more of a legit belly. Not huge, but at least more babylike and less blah. Thank you to Steph and Kate for letting me borrow some clothes! It was a tight squeeze to get everything home, but I have a few new things to add to the wardrobe this time around. Old Navy also had a sale so I scored a few new tops which I shouldn't need for a little while but will be nice to have.
The weather has been amazing this week, which means we've been outside every day after work. I have to peel Zoe off her slide to get her in for dinner. Which then involves a meltdown when we are inside because she's so hungry. Ah, the joys of a toddler ;)
Have I mentioned that I swear I've felt little baby taps here and there? It started just after 12 weeks. I know they say you know more of what to look for in later pregnancies. They aren't consistent by any means and it's only every few days, but it's nice to have that reassurance and to take a moment to step back and enjoy this pregnancy instead of running around chasing his/her big sister every hour she's awake.
After leaving CA and seeing how amazing of a sleeper Miss Harper is becoming, I can't help but be nervous how baby #2 will be. Zoe had colic and reflux and was quite crabby her first 2-3 months of life (we still loved every minute), but she always slept at night, always. It took some time to get her to the 7:30pm bedtime we wanted, but we got there before I went back to work. What if this baby is so the opposite? I won't have much time to nap this time around since I'll have Zoe. I'm just so fearful of being a zombie. I know no matter how the baby is, it will pass. We'll work through it eventually whether it takes a few weeks or a few months, or a year. I just hope this baby is blessed with Zoe's love for sleep :)
It's crazy to think that in just a little under 2 weeks and I have my 17 week appointment already. I'm guessing we'll schedule the anatomy scan then too. So excited!!!
My parents came out this weekend. I know it wasn't relaxing really at all for them, but they were such a huge help. I can't thank them enough. Saturday, mom, Zoe and I went and got the flowers for landscaping while dad and Aaron washed, waxed, and cleaned the inside of my car. Then mom and I planted the front yard while dad and Aaron ran to Home Depot. We went out to eat Saturday and got ice cream. We even got to eat a good meal rather than a toddler friendly place. A huge thanks to my dad for taking Zoe for a walk when he and she were finished eating so the rest of us could finish up. After Zoe went to bed, we had a fire in the back yard. Sunday, we went to church and mom and I finished planting while the boys went to the Tigers game. Zoe got to lounge in her pool after her nap. We finished off their time here, with an excellent dinner and then said goodbye so they could make it home. My poor parents had to landscape at their house all day Monday so they had no time to rest.
Two more weeks and Aunt Jodi will be in MI for her wedding shower! I can't believe the wedding is in less than 2 months now! I'm so excited for our trip to CO and family time. I hate how spread out we all are now, so it'll be so nice to have a week together.
