I'm almost to the half-way point. Only 2 more weeks to go and we get to find out if we are having another little man or a little lady. I've found myself comparing the 2 pregnancies lately. Although I was sick for the first two months this time around I know I am healthier. I started out the last one at about the same weight, but I wasn't too active. I've struggled lately, after my two month sickness, to get back into activity.
The household has been a bit disarrayed this year, and that's added some stress. JD is now finished with his thesis so after a some rest I will have back my partner in cooking, cleaning, and exercise. We haven't had much family or couple time lately and it's made it hard to get motivated to get out and move.
I'm looking forward to the end of the past two years and moving on to the next chapter in our life. I can't wait to finally have a normal schedule and get to spend time together as a family rather than two single parent units. We have tried to institute Saturday family day and Sunday breakfasts, but that leaves 5+ days where we aren't together. I miss that.
The warmer weather means it will be summer too and I can't wait to get out and enjoy it. It will soon be scorching, which means pool time. We've been taking Aiden lately and he loves the water and has a little too much confidence for a 2 1/2 year old.
How does your family spend time each week together? Game Night? Breakfast? Day Trips?
Looking good! Did those maternity Jeans you saved fit?
ReplyDeleteMy husband is gone a lot with work so family time can be rare especially when he works nights. We just decided to institute family evening walks and movie night, thanks to the $5 movie bin.
I am so ready for pool time too! Excited to hear if you are having a boy or girl!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I know the sting of trying to be active in pregnancy, especially after being sick (I get horrible morning sickness). Ease back in slowly and enjoy this awesome time!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! Our family has a lot of trouble finding time together during the week, so our weekends are all about family! We usually have something or other planned as a family to get out and about together. I'm glad you're getting some family time back!
ReplyDeleteAwww, look at you! I remember when I was the second trimester stage and it is such an amazing time. My children love the pool, too. I think they could actually live in it if they could. Awesome that you are able to do family time.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! I love baby belly picks :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute!! I'm glad you are starting to feel better! I love the idea of Sunday breakfasts as a family, I used to have Sunday breakfast with my dad when I was little & it meant the world to me :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that baby belly!!! I was really sick throughout my entire second pregnancy. It's no fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you will be getting some more family time in. During the week is hard for us since my husband works night. We do things on the weekend to make up for it.
Yay for warmer weather! I loved walking with my second pregnancy. Especially in the warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! Congrats again and can't wait to hear the news on gender. I am a planner, so I love to know. :) Have a great week!
You look great. I agree with you on the warmer weather. I can't wait till summer is here. Have a great week
