19 Weeks

April 16

1. We had an Easter egg hunt with our Sunday school class this weekend. Big sister is not too into hunting eggs... she just likes to eat the candy right now. Haha! Next year we will have 2 kiddos at Easter!


2. I finally satisfied my craving of FISH TACOS!! They were awesome! :)

3. I have been sleeping well... I usually get up around 2 or 3 am and sleep good the rest of the night.

4. Less than ONE week until we find out the gender... hmm- pink or blue!? I can't wait to know!

5. I have been really loving watermelon recently. I haven't bought one, but I had some at our Sunday school picnic and it was DELICIOUS!

6. We talked about car seat safety in our Young Mom's Bible study this week and it was so crazy to think I will have TWO car seats soon. Realizing things like this definitely makes it more real that I am going to be a mommy to two little ones!

7. My belly button is already partly out. I can notice it if I have a tighter-fitting shirt on. It didn't come out until the very end with Caroline... Haha!

8. We don't have a scale at home, so I have no idea how much weight I have gained. I will be interested to see how much next week at my appointment.

9. I am looking forward to being able to plan more starting next week after we find out the gender!

10. I'm not really having any weird symptoms or anything... just anxious to find out if this is a boy or girl!!!! Haha! :)

18 Weeks

April 9

1. We made a quick trip to Atlanta this weekend to celebrate our niece, Mattingly, for her 2nd birthday! This was the best family photo we could get... It is hard to get 3 kids happy for a photo. Haha! Can't wait to add Baby T to make it FOUR kids!


2. My biggest craving this week was for a hamburger so I had Whataburger one day for lunch and it was soooo yummy! It is making me hungry thinking about it now. Haha!

3. Big sister Caroline is quite a monkey these days with her climbing! It will be so fun to see how Baby T's personality is similar or different from big sis!


4. I am making a dress for Caroline for Easter. I will have to make a matching one for the fall for baby girl or a matching jon-jon if it's a boy! It is blue seersucker... I will share a picture after Easter! :)

5. I have been DIEING to find out the gender of this little one!!! I did the old wives' tale "ring on a string" test and it said boy. Haha! We will find out on the 21st... less than 2 weeks away now! Woo hoo!!

6. I am starting to wear some maternity clothes now. My shorts have gotten a little too tight to be comfortable when I sit down now, so on to the maternity wardrobe.

7. BIG NEWS this week.... I felt the first little flutters!!! :) It is so different this pregnancy, because I didn't feel Caroline move until after we found out she was a girl. So now when little one moves, I just say "the baby is moving!" I am so ready to be able to say a name instead of just "baby"... haha!

8. I love looking back and comparing how I felt with my pregnancy with Caroline to this time. I was barely starting to show at this point with C and I feel like I am definitely showing this pregnancy. Haha! I guess that's the changes a 2nd pregnancy brings.

9. I am STILL craving fish tacos... We may go to Cactus Flower this weekend and get some! :)

10. I have been sleeping pretty well. Waking up once to use the restroom and usually another time just to turn over. I really think God gets you ready for waking up in the middle of the night for feeding by waking you up during your pregnancy. It is kind of neat to see that!

17 Weeks

April 2

1. We had a GREAT week at the beach with Blake's family. We stayed on the top floor of a really nice condo and had an amazing view! Here is the promised "belly picture" for this month!


2. Caroline and Cameron had lots of fun playing this week. The swings at "The Track" were definitely a big hit with both of them! I am excited to add Baby T and Rylin (my sis-in-law Summer's baby due in May) to the family soon! It will be fun to have some babies around again! 


 3. Sometimes, it is so hard to think of having another kiddo soon. It can be overwhelming just having one little Caroline, and I just don't know what it will be like to have TWO kids! CrAzY!


4. Baby T got to enjoy LOTS of good seafood this week. This picture was at "The Back Porch" where I had some yummy crab cakes! This is making me hungry just thinking about it. Haha!


5. Caroline looooves swimming and playing in the sand! I hope Baby T will like the water and sand too! I enjoyed lots of nice time relaxing by the pool and on the beach. It was a little too chilly for me to get in the water, but it was fun just to relax!


6. I made my first maternity clothing purchase of this pregnancy. I got a maxi skirt that I think will be nice and comfy during the summer too! My sis-in-law Summer is due in May so our babies will be less than 4 months apart.


7. I have been craving fish tacos (like I said last week) and got some this week. They were definitely not as good as Cactus Flower, so I will still have to go there soon.

8. Being on vacation automatically makes me like to snack more, so I have enjoyed lots of junk food this week. Haha! One of my favorites was chocolate covered raisins! I also got some cotton candy that was delicious!

9. I slept great at the beach. We had a king size bed... which is HUGE! Haha! Our room had black-out curtains so it stayed nice and dark in the mornings which was great!

10. Even though it is hard leaving such a great vacation, it is nice to get home and back to a routine. It will be a whole new routine after September and Baby T comes along! Hope I can survive as a mother of TWO! Haha!

16 Weeks

March 26

1. I have been monogramming a lot recently... makes me excited to have a new baby to make cute clothes for!!

2. We have been planning and packing to go to the beach next week. I hope this little baby loves the beach like we do!

3. Blake made some yummy friend mullet, fried okra, and hushpuppies this weekend. It was so so yummy!! I know I ate way too much, but Baby T seemed to like it!

4. I am still waiting to feel this little one move! That was one of my favorite things with being pregnant the first time... such a special feeling!

5. I am still wearing all normal pants and shorts, but things are definitely fitting tighter these days. I know that once I start wearing maternity clothes, there is not a huge selection so I am putting that off as long as I can. Haha!

6.  Caroline is going to be such a SWEET big sister!! She put her baby doll in the swing and gave her a bottle with NO prompting from me. It was the cutest thing!! Then, she started swinging it back a forth, a little too hard. Haha! Can't wait for the adventure of siblings!




7. I have been craving fish tacos from Cactus Flower... hopefully I can get some soon!

8. I have also been craving fried pickles. I'm planning on stopping at Tastee Freeze on the way to the beach to get some... yummy!! :)

9. We are now less than 4 weeks away from finding out Baby T's gender! I have noooo clue what to even guess. Haha!

10. I have been sleeping well at night, but have to have a pillow in between my knees to sleep. I did the same thing when pregnant with Caroline. It just makes it more comfy for my back with pregnancy for some reason.
