Baby Kim Due Late August!

What?!  I can't believe it-we are going to have a baby, again!  No seriously though, there are days when it still surprises me.

Up close and personal-13 weeks

So, again a lot changing around here these days, but we are happy to announce that baby Kim #2 is due in August.  And "It's a boy!"  

My story begins back on December 27, 2012.  I had an appointment with my OB/GYN and I was filling out my paperwork and realized that I was late.  Now, I do keep up with these things normally.  However, here it is christmas time with me working in retail, with a toddler at home and it happened to slip my mind.   So they decided to do a pregnancy test and low and behold it was positive.  Yep, thats right, they pretty much had to mop me off their floor. 

Now, here we are at 13 weeks and they told us that we were having a baby boy!  We couldn't be happier.

I will say that this pregnancy has been so different already.  I am at home now (more on that later) so I don't know if its the fact that I have time to think about how I feel or just that I feel bad constantly  worse than I did with Kensleigh.  I have been nauseous most days along with having headaches most days-so there are some days when I am just flat out pitiful.  I've had to use the bathroom all the time (I think from they moment they told me I was pregnant) and i've already started my middle of the night bathroom trips.  I hate the bella band this go round and just wear yoga pants most days.  It's funny to me how your own pregnancies can be so different.

We are so grateful for this sweet gift and can not wait for Kensleigh to meet her baby brother.  I am just hoping she grows out of the lets poke the babies eyes out phase before he arrives.  Gods timing couldn't have been more perfect-even if I was a little  lot shocked-we are ecstatic.  Everything fell into place just as it should, God is so good.

Mini recap

I can't believe I haven't blogged since Halloween... Crazy how time flies right?  So much has happened between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.  So I guess I'll do a recap and then try for a fresh start this month.

Thanksgiving was crazy with traveling to Jong's parents, spending time and the night with them.  Then traveling to my Aunts house the next morning (where all my Dads family gets together) and having Thanksgiving dinner (and a movie-our tradition).  Then back to work for Black Friday the very next day.  Thats one of the downsides to retail-not getting to spend much time with family-just sell, sell, sell.  Needless to day it was fun and great getting to see everyone.  Kensleigh did not sleep Thanksgiving Eve though, so mommy and daddy were very tired.   However, we did squeeze in a nap on Thanksgiving thanks to DeeDee taking Kensleigh off our hands for a little while!

Just call us the three little piggies! lol

Christmas, was spent at our house.  With both myself and Jong working so much we weren't in the spirits to do another crazy one day trip.  So I cooked a big breakfast- waffles, cheesy o'brian scramble, bacon, biscuits, grits, fruit...We pretty much ate off of it all day.   We snuggled, watched movies, and watched Kensleigh play with her new toys.

Santa brought Kensleigh a kitchen set.  She is one lucky little girl because I'm pretty sure Santa's elves spent a good chunk of time building that kitchen set.   She had a blast with it and still does every day.  I mean I am a little surprised at how much she does love it.  She likes to stir things in her pot, try and cut her fruit, bathe her baby in the sink, as well as feed the baby popsicles in the sink-lol.  Everyday she has a ton of fun creating one big mess for mommy to clean up later!  Her DeeDee got her a cute little apron to wear and I know i'm biased but she is pretty darn cute with it on.

Would anyone like some tea?

Well, Kensleigh has awakened from her nap so duty calls!  I'll try to getting better at blogging more often and catch ya'll up on whats been going on around here!
