So What Wednesday! {A Day Late}

Today, I am trying something new- a link up! Shannon over at Life After I Dew hosts this super cute one every Wednesday called 'So What Wednesday'! Come on over and read what everyone is saying so what to! What are you saying 'so what?!' to this week?


*SO WHAT if I had to take a fun little field trip to Labor & Delivery Sunday night and left feeling even more defeated!
*SO WHAT if this week was a 'busy' one for us and all we did was had a Fall Festivities Playdate, an OB appointment, and a high risk doctor appointment Friday.
*SO WHAT if I just now remembered I forgot to pull out dinner.
*SO WHAT if I no longer have an appetite and when I do, I only want to eat junk.
*SO WHAT if I am counting down the days to my due date- 36 days, in case you were wondering.
*SO WHAT if there are so many things I am excited about having another baby for- and they are the little things most people couldn't care less about!

Catch Up!

Oh my! So much has happened that I don't even know where to begin! I think I will do this as a bullet post just to catch y'all up and then come back and elaborate on some things.

*34 weeks and 3 days pregnant with Abram!
*Lexi is doing great and getting ready to be a big sister
*Husband Is doing good- working hard to support his family and he is a CAPTAIN! We are so proud of him. He worked his but off and his hard work paid off! He is amazing!
*My birthday was last week- this birthday is worthy of a whole post to itself!
*We are officially in our new (to us) house now and 99% ready for Abram!
*This week is crazy busy for us- Fall Festivities Playdate tomorrow, OB apt wed, and Friday I see the high risk doctor again.
*This last weekend I had a Sprinkle Tea hosted for me in honor of Abram- Again, a post in itself is needed!

Turbo!

Last week we took Lexi to the movies for the first time since she turned one! I you remember, on her first birthday we took her to see the Muppets. Last night we wanted to see Monsters University but apparently it went outta theaters on Tuesday! What a bummer! So instead we went to see Turbo. It was so cute! We all really enjoyed it and Lexi is officially obsessed with 'Turbo' and 'go fast like Turbo!'. It's pretty adorable. 

How she did? It was interesting! She did pretty well for a two and a half year old but I don't know that I will be taking her back anytime soon. It really stressed me out bc I couldn't get her to stay still or calm down. Just a toddler, I know! She went potty three times in the matter of one hour and thirty six minutes. Does anyone else notice when you are out (shopping, dinner, movies, church, etc) the kids have to potty every 3.4 seconds? Yeah, that was us! Ha. She got popcorn, to choose a candy, and to share coke with us- so food wise? She was in heaven. The candy kept her pretty occupied for a good bit of the time. Until it was gone.. Overall, she did good and had a blast! That's all that matters :) 

Southern Gentleman Sprinkle!

This past weekend my MIL, Aunt Gigi and Abram's nanny hosted us a little sprinkle! It was a lot of fun and we got so blessed. We didn't take too many pictures during the sprinkle but I took a ton of the decorations. (My MIL made the wreath- how cute is it?!) 

I love party planning! It's definitely my thing. I feel like it is all in the details and I love making sure those details are carried out. Since we were doing a Southern Gentleman theme we had to have mason jars and tea- because nothing says southern like mason jars and a glass of sweet tea. The mason jars were my favorite. I saw an idea of them on Pinterest and ran with it! Most of my ideas were from Pinterest :) we had a photo booth and props. We did that for Lexi's 2nd birthday and now I feel like it is a must at every party! It was so much fun and leads to some amazing and hilarious pictures. 

Long time no chat!

Blogging has taken a backseat lately. Honestly, I haven't had the motivation or energy to blog. Our lives are crazy town right now but this too shall end. So much has changed in the last 4-6 weeks that I don't even know where to begin! 

For starters, we moved. Yep, you read that right. Looking back I see it was all in God's plan but boy has it been stressful! Toddler, pregnant, moving in with family, no plan? Yeah. Crazy! But everything is coming together perfectly. 

Lexi is doing amazing! She amazes me on the daily by her vocabulary and understanding of life. She is very excited about 'baby brother'. Yeah, she refuses to call him Abram and calls him 'baby brother' every single time. It's pretty adorable. 

Abram is doing great as well! He is still baking and most definitely growing. He has a little issue the drs are keeping an eye on, but they're assuming me that it is completely normal and we need to monitor it. It could be nothing. We shall see. But it is in God's hands and I have a peace about it. 

Hubsy is doing good as well! He started a new job and is going to school for another career he is pursuing. More on this at a later date bc it's pretty quiet right now. 

Overall, we are all doing great! Staying busy and trying to soak up our last few months as a family of 3! My sprinkle is this weekend for Abey Baby and I can't wait! But that's all that has been going on around here!

And Vincent #2, Baby Roo is a....

BOY!!!!!! Abram Ryan

Friday afternoon we went for an elective ultrasound to find out the sex of Roo! When we got in the room the first thing the tech said was 'holy cow! This baby is a mover!' He just kept spinning and turning and rolling. It was adorable. Shortly after that, she put her wand on his parts and immediately I saw what she saw- boy parts! I said 'that's a boy, isn't it?!' She confirmed and then I let out a small scream!! She started taking pics of him for us and we just talked. She said he was big for 16 weeks, which wasn't all that surprising to me bc I still think Helman is wrong about my due date. Then she put the  3d/4d on and we got to see him. We never had a 3d/4d ultrasound with Lexi, so I was amazed! It was so neat! He smiled at us immediately  and at that moment I felt so in love! Lexi said 'he my baby brudda!!' It was the cutest thing ever ! We had our reveal this weekend and spilled the beans. Let the shopping begin :) 

14 weeks: Baby Roo

Today I am 14 weeks pregnant! Officially in the second trimester. I just wanted to jot a few things down for my memory because I find myself trying to remember my pregnancy with Lexi quite a bit. So here we go :)

Weight gain: Can we just skip this part? I'm up 4 lbs, but I lost 1.2 lbs since last week. Eek! I'm not sure what it is with this baby but I'm having a very hard time gaining weight. My mission this week is to pack on some weight!
Sleep: has been great! That first trimester was awful in the sleep department! I was always tired but couldn't sleep at night. Boo! But now? Out around 10ish every night. Wake once with Lexi and back to bed til 7-8. I also take a 2 hr nap with Lexi everyday.
Movement: I *think* I have felt it a few Times but I was probably just thinking I did! This baby feels very low to me. I don't remember Lexi feeling this low. I guess this is normal? Not going to lie, it makes me nervous quite frequently.
Gender: we don't know yet but hope to find out ASAP! I have my thoughts and did all the wives tales, but that's a post in itself.
Random: honestly, I have really been enjoying this pregnancy! Embracing it and feeling very thankful to be pregnant. So excited to have a second baby and find out if Roo is a girl or boy! I have had a little health issue that we are trying to see how serious or minor it is. Testing is coming up and I'm nervous. Ultimately, I know it is in God's hands though! Trying to stay busy and soak up the one kid time we have left! Here are three pics- one was 13 weeks 3 days, the other, 13 weeks 6 days, and 14 weeks exactly.
