My Boys' Favorite Part of Their Day

 ....Daddy's Home!!!

22 Weeks Pregnant!

Lots of good things have happened this week!

-Owen moves all day long. For so long I've been thinking that he was nice and quiet and will be real relaxed, but now I'm thinking that he'll be just as wonderfully crazy as his big brother. I think maybe the reason I couldn't feel him as soon as I felt Adrian is because he's a little higher up and Adrian was so low in my pelvis the whole time.

-I started being able to SEE Owen move on the outside - oh my I love that! Nick can feel him move too and we're both getting really excited. I tried to video it, but it doesn't look as obvious on the video.

-I had my first bout of what I can only describe as pregnancy insomnia. This week I was sick and could NOT go to sleep...no matter what I tried...until 5am. I had to wake up a little after 7. That was a tough day being so exhausted and still being so sick, but I made it through and slept wonderfully last night. Owen was up the whole night too so he kept me company. Nick was very comforting and helpful - he was tired too.

-We found a dresser on lejeuneyardsales.com for our room (Nick had a long one and I wanted him to have a tall one so we can fit the bassinet next to it). The guy was asking a very low price and ended up giving it to us for free! It's perfect. We moved it into Owen's room and soon I'll start organizing all the newborn clothes we have. His room has been used as a storage room so we have a lot of things to go through and try to sell/throw away/put somewhere else. I really like our trailer but it is really inconvenient to have so little storage space. I can't wait to get everything all set up!

 Here's a picture of our boys at 20 weeks - I think their profiles look very similar - especially their noses!

21 Weeks Pregnant!

This has been a good week! Last Wednesday we had a doctor's appointment and got to see baby Owen again. He looked great and the doctor said he's measuring right on schedule. His brain and all his organs and limbs look great too so we're very thankful! My midwife gave me a prescription to help with my migraines and so I've had a pretty pain-free week! Yay!

I've been getting the "nesting" feeling - a little frustrating since I'm only half way through this pregnancy and there's not a whole lot I can do yet! I started my little stash of diapers and things so that we don't have to buy a lot when Owen's born. It's so nice to see those tiny little diapers on the shelf again! Thanks to swagbucks, my payment for working for Cafemom, and great deals on LejeuneYardSales.com, I've spent very very little!

My biggest purchases were:

• Two packs of diapers, a pack of nursing pads, and a 3 pack of pacifiers from Target with gift card (payment from CafeMom). I spent $1.97 after the gift card.
• A new adorable swaddler, new boppy cover, and 2 pack of pacifiers from amazon. Spent less than $2 after using Swagbucks.
• Pack of diapers, pack of nursing pads, car seat strap covers for both boys, socks for Adrian and things for post partem health. Free with Walmart gift card from CafeMom.
• 5 newborn swaddlers for $5 from LejeuneYardSales.com

So, I got a really great start on some things we really needed for less than $10 (worth well over $100) this week! I am still trying to stock up on diapers and other things until December, and this just makes me so thankful that I kept everything from Adrian. The things we "need" are very little compared to how much we needed for Adrian.

We have a lot to be thankful for this week! God has been so good!
