So many things have happened in the almost year it's been since blogging. Not only did I survive the hardest teaching year/job I could ever imagine, I also got my dream teaching job! Me and my sweet husband celebrated our two year anniversary in July with a road trip to Destin, FL. This was probably one of the best vacations ever! We stayed right on the beach and ate delicious food every night. In August school started and it has just been a whirlwind of art supplies and students.
I've never had any real direction with my blog, it was always just something I experimented with. However, with that being said Love-Lea Life is going to be changing quite a bit! Not only did I start a new teaching job last fall, but I also found out that I am going to be a mom!! And not just any mom, a boy mom! Needless to say this blog is going to turn into my letter to my sweet boy, myself, and any other moms out there who might need encouragement along the way. I'm about 25 weeks into this journey they call pregnancy and it has been absolutely amazing! Aside from my super crazy gag reflex I didn't have any morning sickness ( so sorry mamas if you did ) and there were only a few foods that I wasn't interested in. I'm really sad I haven't been documenting this more along the way, but growing a human is hard work! But I've been wanting to start this, so here it goes!
How far along? 25 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs. Ugh, I know I'm growing a human, but seeing the numbers on the scale climb is depressing!
Maternity clothes? All maternity bottoms, some maternity tops
Sleep? Almost through the night! Besides going to the bathroom a couple of times and letting the dog out.
Stretch marks? NOPE!! Thanks BioOil and Cocoa Butter!
Best moment this week: Passing my second glucose test! No Gestational Diabetes for me!
Miss Anything? My body... I know I still have a long way to go too. Also, cold meats.
Movement: He's so active! And then he freaks me out when he decides to take a nap and not move around like a crazy person
Food Cravings: Any type of delicious pastry/ baked good. Luckily I refuse to buy them and keep them in the house or I would have gained way more than 20 lbs by now.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really! The trash makes me gag, but that's about it!
Gender: Sweet Boy
Pregnancy Symptoms: Going to the bathroom all the time, some headaches, broken out, and a few Braxton Hicks
Labor Signs: None
Wedding rings on or off? Still on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody, moody! I feel so bad for my students at school. But I'm pretty happy once I get home.
Looking forward to: Finishing our registries!
Also, I would like to add how much of a champ my sweet husband has been. I would not be able to go through this without all of his support and help around the house. I know he thinks I'm a crazy person most of the time ( mainly because he tells me), but he never hesitates to do the dishes or take me for ice cream, even if he thinks I tricked him into it, haha. He has helped make this pregnancy as wonderful as it has been!
I peed on these sticks on September 9th and my life has never been the same!
How we told his parents and mine
Our boy at 20 weeks!! I can't believe how much I love this face already.
LOVE THIS!! Can't wait for sweet baby Stone! <3
