19 & 20 weeks



I seem to be going every other week with the blog right now which works pretty well. I feel like nothing that eventful is going on anyways! Right now I am snug in my bed after a snowy engagement session this afternoon. My husband is in portland on a business trip and the kids are with my cousin Deanna (thank you Dee!!!) I am getting a much needed break and going to sleep as soon as I finish this. I have been so exhausted lately!

How far along? 20 weeks 6 days
Baby is the size of a: mango
Stretch marks? not yet
Sleep: pretty good..minus crazy back pain that has been waking me up at night
Best moment this week: Baby girls 20 week ultrasound! I think its always a bit scary until you get to that ultrasound and they take a look at everything to make sure it is all good. Everything was great and we loved getting to see her bounce around. With Kyler's ultrasound we had to go back for a second ultrasound because her head was measuring pretty big. Luckily this little girl has a very normal size head, measuring more on the small side...yay! 
Worst moment this week: My sciatica and lower back has gotten so bad. Thursday night after I had made dinner and cleaned the kitchen I literally couldn't walk. I was in a ball on the couch in tears not able to move. It was terrible. I had to crawl upstairs to bed. My poor husband did everything he could to help me, but it was so bad and nothing was fixing it. When I was finally settled in bed with a heating pad on my back we both started laughing that I didn't even cry in either of my labors but this pain was seriously unbearable. I had been to an acupuncturist the day before and plan to go again and may to the chiropractor as well. If anyone has any experience in relieving sciatica pain please help a sister out!
Miss Anything: Wine and sushi....
Food cravings: Well if you follow me on social media you would have seen that I went to Hawaii to visit my sister for 48 hours....I literally ate so much fresh fruit I had an acid burn on my tongue! But it really did cure my craving (for now) for passionfruit and starfruit! I had some of the best passionfruit smoothies in the world. I was so happy. And yes I know you can get those fruits here at certain places but trust me...they taste WAY better in Hawaii!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: nope!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy this week. The second trimester is so nice. Not nearly as many mood swings and pretty happy about life.
Looking forward to: Is it June yet? I do feel like this pregnancy is dragging...im sure it will switch to fast forward soon but I just want things to speed up. I am so ready to meet this little girl (and so are her sisters!). Kyler keeps asking me if the baby has come out yet. Not yet kiddo! 


Just thought I would include some shots from my quick hawaii trip! I got a ton of questions about it after I posted I was going. My mom and sister both work for Alaska Airlines so I am able to fly stand by (non rev) so thats how I fly for free. Also my sister lives on Maui with her husband (rough life). When Shanyn found the fruit I had been craving and we discovered the flights were wide open I decided just to go for it! My best friend already was having the girls for a night for me (thanks Jenna!)  and my husband was on board, so I decided to just do it. And let me tell you it was so worth it!
