15 Weeks

I'm How far along? 15 weeks

Maternity clothes? Still holding out!

Sleep: Getting better.  Always wishing there was more though!

Best moment this week: We celebrated Ben's birthday last weekend.  We also took Lucas to the circus which was a blast!

Miss Anything? Nothing in particular this week

Movement: not yet.

Food cravings: So much Indian food! I can't stop thinking about it!

Belly Button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them

Happy or Moody most of the time: Slightly less moody...... I think

Looking forward to:  SPAIN! I'm currently in the airport waiting to board the first leg of my trip to Madrid! 

The Circus is in town!

Since this is the last year for the circus we made a last minute decision to take Lucas! My dad came and spent the afternoon with Adam so we got some rare "just Lucas" time.  We all had a really great time.  Lucas really loved the show :)

Hello 2nd Trimester

How far along? 14 weeks

Maternity clothes? Not yet :)

Stretch marks? I'm sure there will be plenty new ones come September :(

Sleep: We are all sleeping a little better this week.  Lucas is finally back to going to bed on his own without someone sitting in the room or out in the hallway with him.  Adam has been a little difficult to get down, but at least he is for the most part staying asleep.

Best moment this week: We got a warm day yesterday and got to go to the park!

Miss Anything? Nothing in particular this week

Movement: not yet.

Food cravings: Anything that is bad for me! We did have some delicious Indian food that hit the spot a couple nights ago.  Ironically it was the same food that made me super nauseous when I was pregnant with Lucas.

Belly Button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them

Happy or Moody most of the time: Slightly less moody...... I think

Looking forward to:  Ben's birthday is tomorrow! We are super sad that it is supposed to be really cold and yucky out.  But Lucas always loves an excuse for cake :)

New Wheels for the Baby

As much as we love our little black Elantra and Ben's truck, they are not the best family of 5 car.  Ben has been researching SUV's for a while now and we finally found one :)  Meet our new car! It's a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander.  The boys approved :)

13 Weeks

How far along? 13 weeks

Maternity clothes? Not yet.  I have actually lost a decent amount of weight, so I have been able to wear some of my "skinny clothes" hahaha

Stretch marks? I'm sure there will be plenty new ones come September :(

Sleep: Well not related to new baby, but sleeping has been awful.  Lucas is dealing with nightmares for the past month.  He is getting better, but between him waking up and needing someone to sleep with him and Adam waking up just because he is a bad sleeper still, it has not been great in the Hale house.

Best moment this week: I got a girls day with one of my friends last weekend.  It sure was a nice break from reality.

Miss Anything? Sleep, beer, NOT throwing up.......

Movement: not yet.

Food cravings: No - it's just a good day when I get to eat.

Belly Button in or out? In!

Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them

Happy or Moody most of the time: Oh for sure moody.  Poor everyone that knows me :(

Looking forward to:  March is a super busy month for us.  Lots of birthday fun and I will be traveling.  I am sure it will be April before we know it!

 

Boonshoft

A couple weeks ago we met up with one of my friends and her little cutie at the Dayton Boonshoft Museum,  It's a small children's museum.  Luckily it wasn't very crowded, but man did it take all 4 parents to control these 3 crazy toddlers!!! Everyone had a great time though :)

Time to dig!!!

Reading about birds in the tree house while watching them eat at the 20 bird feeders out the windows.

Hale : Party of 5

Sorry things have been quite quiet on our end since the New Year.  On New Year's Day, we found out some exciting new for our family.  We will be growing by 1 this September!!!!  Lucas is super excited about being a big brother again.  He is ready to teach all of his tricks to Adam :)  He is also requesting a sister, so we will see how that goes ;)  I am hoping to start to feel better soon as I just hit the 12 week mark, but so far no luck. 

Baby Hale at 11.5 weeks.  Doctor said he/she looks great!
