vomiting during pregnancy weight loss | Boy or Girl

vomiting during pregnancy weight loss

As I have mentioned before, we are choosing not to find out the sex of this baby until the day the baby comes. Thankfully our OB does not write the gender on any paperwork so they cant accidentally spill the beans. It will be a surprise for us all!

16 Weeks | Pregnant with Jack compared to Now

In the past 10 days, we saw many of our family members and there was a lot of conjecture as to whether there will be a little boy or little girl arriving in April. Currently, the overall consensus seems to be girl. 

20 Weeks | Pregnant with Jack compared to Now

Currently, I dont think that either Daniel or I have any inklings as to the sex of our baby. It would be a delight (and something new) if we had a girl, but it would be fun to have two little boys running around together.

22 Weeks | Pregnant with Jack compared to Now

Jack has taken to telling people he is getting a little brother. This has caused some confusion since most people know we are waiting to find out.

24 Weeks | Pregnant with Jack compared to Now

I thought it would be fun to look back at a comparison of what my pregnancies looked like. In all of the photos, the left side is from when I was pregnant with Jack and the right side is from this year (links to pregnancy with Jack are in red). I feel like I am carrying in a similar fashion, but this pregnancy has sure felt different (or I just forgot how uncomfortable this stage is!). I will be updating soon with a recap of the second trimester. I cant believe there are only a couple of more weeks until I am in the third part of this pregnancy!

after pregnancy weight loss diet | Not Just Coffee Boy Girl

after pregnancy weight loss diet

Our favorite coffee bar is an AMAZING place called, "Not Just Coffee" and it is seriously the best coffee in Charlotte with a handcrafted espresso and pour over coffee menu! Makes me weak in my knees! haha. Today, it really was "not" just coffee for us!  Samuel called me on his way to our appointment with this idea of revealing the gender at NJC, instead of finding out in the sonogram room. (They dont let you film in there and Sam really wanted to get our reaction on tape to have for our little familys life story.) I was thinking wed just go old school and tweet it, but Sam was pretty stoked about this idea. So, I was like, "Why the heck not? Im married to a film maker, Im gonna embrace it." I called James, the owner of the coffee bar, and he was down for it! It was a treat and a precious memory for my heart! Ah! I cant tell you how excited we are, we got our hearts desire! Im so in love.

My soul is soaring with happiness and bursting with smiles at the memories Im anticipating for the future!

If you live or are visiting the Charlotte area, your life experience is not complete until you go visit Not Just Coffee! Go have one of their oh so amazing cappuccinos, teas or lattes and enjoy the flavor. They are located on east 7th street in the Uptown area. Here is their page, NJC!

pre pregnancy weight loss diet | Dear Forest Boy

pre pregnancy weight loss diet

My Dear Forest Boy, 

I feel like the most privileged girl in the world to be your momma. Watching you learn and grow, these past months, has been the most magical, new and emotional adventure my heart has ever taken. All of a sudden, the mantra of countless moms, dads and grandparents saying: "Enjoy it, they grow so fast..." has become the beginning of a new reality for me. I feel like I want to press the pause button, weeks at a time, so I can soak up the new pages of your exploding personality. Now that youre going to be a big brother, I find myself living in slow motion more than I used to. I know that in just a few months, well have a new friend and adventurer to share our time with. It wont be just you, me and daddy anymore. That thought excites my heart and it makes me kinda sad at the same time. Not a real sad, but just a realization that things will be kind of different; a good different but different just the same. I cant tell you how thrilled I am to watch you be a big brother and have a new friend for life. I cant wait to watch you two play and come in from outside covered in, Lord knows what, with big grins on your face. But, back to us. You are our best little buddy. You make me and your daddy laugh and love like no other human on earth can. I love you. You have been sunshine to me, and have been the source of so much growth in my own heart and life. The last 5 months, when my heart was the most broken its ever been, you were the greatest source of comfort and light in such a dark time. You were literally the heart of Jesus to me in my most vulnerable moments. Thank you for that sweetheart. You are such a joy. There are so many new happy memories to be made and places to be explored!  Your daddy and I adore you!

Its going to be a fun day today! We all will get to find out if youre going to have a little brother or sister. You, me and your Daddy, were getting ready for another extravaganza of love, arent we!? Lets go, full speed ahead! 

All the love in my heart, 

Momma

Some of my most precious memories being made lately have been taking Káel to his favorite park on sunny days. Sam captured a few of these memories for me a couple of weeks ago. I love having a film guy as my husband. Cant wait to watch all of our videos with our kids when they are older! ;) <3

after pregnancy weight loss stomach in hindi | Dear Cedar

after pregnancy weight loss stomach in hindi

Cedar,

Your bright little soul has brought so much light into my heart. When I kiss your sweet cheeks and look into your blue eyes, I can feel so much goodness. Watching you sleep is kinda like a drug to me...youre simply addicting. I love you more than I thought possible. But, knowing my heart the way I do, and even the way I dont quite yet...I know theres so much more love to happen between you and me and that makes me so excited. Im so thankful for you sweet boy. People say all the time that children are a gift, but you really and truly are a gift to me more than Ive ever understood the word to mean. Im so glad you came exactly when you did, my little miracle. You are the meaning of "new" to me.

There is a unique excitement that I have when we spend time together and I think about all the wonders you havent experienced yet. There are trees waiting for you to climb them, snowmen for you to build and ice cream for you to taste. There are knees to be scraped from fun adventures and silly things for you and your brother to laugh at. Your eyes will sparkle the first time you realize you can walk all by yourself. The feeling you get in your heart when youve comforted someone you love will be thrilling. I think that will be one of your gifts in life, because thats who you have been to be from the moment I first felt you dance in my tummy. So much love is waiting for you Cedar, so much love. And my one and only goal and dream in life is for you and your brother to know it as yours. My prayer countless times a day is Lord, more than anything, let my boys know they are loved.

Right now you are next to me, dreaming asleep...and your brother is antsy, trying to figure out what he wants from the moment. Your daddy is creating something lovely and now, I realize I havent even begun to understand what good means because, I feel it more today than I have in my entire life.  Sweet boy, thank you for being a kiss of healing to me. I cant wait to watch you discover and enjoy this journey.

With all my soul and truest heart, I love you Cedar. Happy 1 month.

-Momma

PS.
This song below is the song I sang the entire time I was pregnant with you Cedar. Id sing it any time my heart felt happy or broken.  It still makes me bawl like a baby and smile, as I look at you here with me. You are my springtime and the sweet promise of Jesus making all things new.

Well I feel a warm wind blowin

Melting all the sadness off of my soul

and I smell the sweet cherry blossoms

pouring all their gladness, into my soul

In winter I believe you 

In springtime I see you

Its so good to be with you
my hope has come

Lord you make all things new

Your love is my breakthrough

Now I sing Hallelujah

My hope has come

Well Ive walked through the valley of the shadow

And I have been tested like silver and gold

Lord your faith has taught me to cherish

that this light affliction is not my home

Im not gonna give in to this mortal frustration 

And Im not gonna give death any standing ovation

I will lift my soul God, with no hesitation

because between you and me theres no separation

weight loss during pregnancy in urdu | Cabin Fever

weight loss during pregnancy in urdu

Following the excitement of my 2 nights in the hospital, our entire little family came down with a stomach bug that has been going around. Jack and I lucked out with a 12 hour version while Daniel was out for a week. According to Daniels doctor, our entire neighborhood was sick. On top of that I was supposed to rest for the week after my hospital stay and then we had the recent winter storm. All in all, I was basically stuck at our house for the last 11 days and starting to go a little stir crazy.

After the sign off from my doctor, I have been anxious to return to life as usual, while still taking it easy. So even though the trees were covered with ice and the temps were in the teens, Jack and I were determined to get out of the house (Jack specifically asked to go dig dinosaurs).

We started the day with pancakes (its Pancake Day after all). Then made the trip to town so that I could work out. I have been missing my time at the Y – both the social and physical aspects. Note to the college-age childcare workers: If you havent seen a pregnant woman in almost two weeks, dont tell her that she "got huge since the last time you saw her."

We rounded out our afternoon with a visit to the Creative Discovery Museum so that Jack could "dig dinosaurs." Besides digging he got to touch a live corn snake. He was very fascinated by this experience. This was a good day and Im hoping I didnt overdo it.

baby weight loss in the first week | Simple Days

baby weight loss in the first week

Has it already been a month since Cedar was born and our journey as a family of 4 began? It doesnt quite seem real yet.  Weve been taking this time to get to know our new, wee lad and gather up whatever rest that we can. I am at my worst when I dont get sleep. And the past few nights have FINALLY given me and my little boy the sleep we both were needing. I havent had one full nights sleep since C was born. But, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel of zs. ;) Friends have been spoiling us with tasty meals, flowers and treats, this past month, which has been the biggest blessing. I thought it was a blessing when we had gifted meals with Kael, but having two munchkins has proved it a little more difficult to find my rhythm in the kitchen again. So, it has been a lifesaver now more than ever. ;)  I will say, yesterday I masterfully grocery shopped with both boys without incident and felt pretty proud of myself. 

Breastfeeding is going GREAT now and has become a new found love of mine. (I never thought I would be able to actually do it, let alone enjoy it.) It was tricky for the first 3 weeks but now it is just the best thing. (minus of course the fact that I have milk spots on most of my shirts now and am realizing I need a whole new slew of threads to support my boob feeding effort. haha!) Cedar is entering that amazing and magical stage where smiles are frequent and tiny coos and babbles are starting to be what I look forward to every morning. Definitely makes 3 am a more pleasant time when Im greeted with flirty smirks. Im still writing my birth story, its coming soon, I promise. Theres a small sliver of time a day that sometimes allows me to sit down with full attention to the thoughts of my heart and Im trying to take advantage of it whenever I can to write. 

Here are a handful of images from the past several days to give you just a tiny peek into our daily world. 

Beautiful fall flowers from our friends at church. 

A good day of both boys napping meant my poor kitchen got some attention. 

Mister Kael LOOOOOVES preschool

My first love and mini heart throb...in all the unorganized chaos, he still naps like a champ.

Is it weird that Ive been looking forward to this moment since I was a little girl---putting my kids preschool artwork up on my walls... Its seriously one of my favorite things EVER!!! Kael proudly points to his masterpieces each time he walks through the hallway.

Clothes pins have a certain level of fascination for Kael, so...we created a little game. My friend Kristina would be proud of me. ;) 

The little pumpkin who makes my heart beat fast.

unexplained weight loss pregnancy | Chats with Jack

unexplained weight loss pregnancy

These are some of the memorable things Jack has said recently...

Jack really likes to talk on the phone. One of his favorite games is to pretend to call us on our rotary phone (it hangs on the wall, but is not hooked up). Since he is so interested in phones, we taught him how to call Daniel on my cell phone. We wanted him to be able to call someone in case something happened to me and it has been really useful for the days when Daniel is working long hours and Jack misses him. He can call Daniel and tell him about his day without my help. Its been a great tool for him and is especially good on the days he is feeling sad about not seeing his daddy.

Any time Jack gets in trouble, he asks, "Are you sad, mommy?" I always reassure him that I love him, but that his behavior made me sad. He also asks, "Are you happy, mommy?"

Do you want to watch my dance? (followed by a silly dance)
Do you want to hear my noise? (followed by obnoxious noise)

Jack: Why did I have to stop playing with Westin and leave church?
Daniel: So you and Westin could go to your homes and go to sleep so you can feel good tomorrow.
Jack: Are there beds at church?
Daniel: No.
Jack: Why arent there beds at church? 

 
"Next time Ill stump you for sure." (Quote from The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That). Jack then proceeds to stomp around and laugh hysterically while saying this. Ive been trying to explain to him what "to stump someone" means.

I just like to be silly. 
Its just pretend.

Says "Aw, man!" when he is frustrated.

 

 

Knows the phrase "Righty tighty and lefty loosey" and uses it appropriately when unscrewing/screwing something together. On the note of fixing things, Jack insisted that Daniel fix the swing at the playground that was broken. He was very proud of the fact that they fixed it together.

Jack: Do people like shots?
Me: Do you like shots?
Jack: No. I like nice things.
Me: I think people like nice things too.
 

  
One night we had a very in depth discussion about radar detectors on the way to church. Boiled down, the radar detector reminds grown ups to obey the rules so they dont get in trouble.

Mommies always know the rules. (Informing Daniel)

Jack: Mommy, did you touch the potty?
Me: Yes.
Jack: You need to wash your hands.
 

Sophie always has really bad stinky farts.

 Im getting the chopper (axe) so I can chop wood.

  
Recent questions about the baby: Does the baby have feet? Does the baby walk? Does the baby like to sing songs? Is it Easter yet? (we told him the baby will come after Easter)

Why are the trees wiggling? (Regarding the trees blowing in the wind)

Conversations with a three-year-old can be so fun. Trying to explain the world in ways he understands can be trying at times, but the process if fascinating.
