I have really struggled with my cravings this time around. My last pregnancies I craved meal type foods (spaghetti, pizza,burritos etc..). this time is a JOKE. Each craving doesnt last TOO long, but its the fact that its junk.
Kit Kats
Fruit Bowl- this one isnt bad, but it lasted the least amount of time lol
Hersheys w/Almonds- I can still handle these YUM!
Chocolate/Vanilla twist ice cream. Prefer waffle cone, but will take anything at this point- this one is a new craving that started last week :sigh:
Ritz Bits cheese crackers- im munching on these as I type lol
Boy am I going to struggle when its time to go back on my diet.
Oh the other thing I am craving is Egg Nog. I couldnt have it last Christmas cause I was on a diet, by the time it comes back to the stores this year I will be back on my diet. I need to figure out how to make my own!

24 Weeks
Ok, so I feel like a whale... already. BLAH. im growing out of my shirts. Cant complain TOO much about those since they are not maternity shirts. I wanted something cute this time around and it seems like whenever I am pregnant all the maternity clothes are so ugly. The second I am not pregnant, out comes some cute stuff. Then the jeans, YEAH RIGHT. So my fat ass can't fit into motherhood maternity for some reason. I have a pair of capris from there that I cant even get up over my butt. Old Navy was working well for me until I tried the next size up and they are HUGE on me. The pair of jeans i have now that I totally LOVE, they fit GREAT when I am standing, but forget about sitting. They cut into my stomach and it hurts. ugh whatever @@
I give up.
I did go get my hair cut yesterday so that has me feeling better. I was sooo overgrown, it looked nasty. In a couple weeks im going to go back and get it re-colored. last time I got it colored I had highlights put in, but they lightened my hair up too much. I really like dark hair now, so im going back to that with red tones. I cant wait!Tomorrow we get to go and get the kids' pictures taken at a local park- with the lady that I posted her link a couple posts down. I am very excited! I will add pics as soon as I get them :)

Yeah Yeah, Im late again :)
so once again I forgot to post last week. I did have good intentions, but got so busy. Between sewing diapers/working on orders for my site, taking the kids on a shopping trip (2 hours away) and running around town trying to find specific fabric I feel like I haven't even been home much. I dread getting into the vehicle now. and the lack of sleep is definitely catching up to me. I am exhausted, but yet you don't see me going to be any earlier, huh? One of these days I will learn.
Nothing really new going on with the baby this week. Still moving A LOT. and its always right where my body bends when I sit down so its nice and uncomfortable. Same thing when I lay down, I like to pull my legs up towards my stomach a little bit..nope. baby won't let me.
Still going strong with not accepting an ultrasound. Of all things a man that Justin works with, his wife is an u/s tech and keeps asking if I want to "sneak" in during her lunch to get an u/s. N.O.P.E
I really like not knowing, giving me something to really look forward to, well not that I don't look forward to it even when I do know. This is a different level of excitement now.
I am having lots of fun buying both boys/girls clothing. but ONLY if I am getting dirt cheap prices so I am not potentially wasting money. everything I am getting has a good resale value.
Oh and once again, I have changed my mind on names. Well only the girl name. I wasn't loving the name Justyce. yeah its cute, but it just wasnt clicking with me.
So if its a girl, she will have the same name as our boy name just spelled more "girly"
Jameson E- boy
Jamison Marie- girl
Decided to do the "I" in her name, to kind of go with Tiler's name. Got that idea from some lovely ladies in my mommy group I am in. Love it!
I did manage to take a pic at 23 weeks. not too much of a change

Not so beautiful
Ok so here is the deal, bottom line- I completely dislike being pregnant. There is not too many people that I personally know that will admit the same thing, well until they are days away from being due and just done with it all. ME? well from the moment I get pregnant I am done with it. Yeah the first time you hear the heartbeat, the first kicks are great. But seriously, what is so great about gaining weight (for me its in my ass and thighs, like I NEED more there) ,growing boobs that are even bigger (I was already overly "blessed" in this area @@), a belly that is so big you cant bend over, tie your shoes, bumping into things constantly. not even being able to SEE your feet. Or how about when it comes time to shave? YEAH RIGHT! the difficulty breathing, just walking to the other side of the room without getting winded. getting your insides kicked around at 1am when you are trying to sleep, the braxton hicks, endless fatigue, Or the great thing that I am suffering from for the past handful of days- sciatic nerve pain. by evening I am walking like a 100 yr old woman. I can barely move. I could keep going on, but I won't. I am just trying to find SOMEONE out there that can relate. I can't possibly be the only one that is ashamed and embarrassed of their mood swings at times.
Every child is a blessing and I am forever grateful that I get to be a mommy, so don't take the above the wrong way. I have never been one of the fortunate pregnant women that feel fabulous and perfect all 9+ months. Its hard to say the least. and since being due the 1st week of October, I get to go through all of summer being plump and pregnant. I already loath the heat.
My last baby was born in the end of August and that was grueling as well. My first 2 were born in February and although it wasn't easy being pregnant then, at least i wasn't sweating in places I shouldnt be ha ha

On a positive note...
I think I just booked a birth photographer.
With Malikai I had my birth video taped, with Tiler we had that same idea, but everything happened so quickly there was no time. and Bennett, well we forgot. oops :(
So now, without the stress of having Justin or a family member tape it, I am going to hire a photographer.
We are going to start with getting pics taken of the kids, just to get a feel for her and vice versa. We are booked for June 19th at 5pm.
She hasn't done a birth yet, but seeing pics she has taken, I am confidant she will do great and she seems excited to do it as well.
here is her site:

I am very excited!!

22 Weeks
HOLY COW! I am in my 6th month now. ummm.. ::faints::. im not ready and im freaking out. I can't do this. ugh
Malikai and Tiler push me to my limit on a daily basis. Bennett is following close behind. he is picking up on SO many things that his brother and sister do that its not even funny. Summer is coming up very quickly and the heat sucks. That has me on edge alot. We have a dinky window air conditioner, but I hate running it cause the cost can add up very quickly, but how much of this misery can I really take?
I am surprised my blood pressure isn't through the roof because of the daily stress and crap I have. Phone calls left and right, bills, lack of GOOD food in my house. ugh I really need to do some grocery shopping, but even the thought of dragging the kids out to the store for a couple hours to attempt shopping is not appealing. They HATE grocery shopping. They are decent when we go to other stores (mall), but the grocery store is a joke.
Every single freaking time I talk to any of my family members on the phone they now ask me if I know what I am having and if I am getting an ultrasound. Once again every single time I tell them NO, this baby will be a surprise, NO I am not getting an ultrasound. Its just not necessary. I have a low risk pregnancy, baby and me both are very healthy, why get an ultrasound? What so my family can know what I am having?? @@ Im so over talking to them. I remember my last pregnancy, from 36 weeks on I was getting calls daily wanting to know if I was in labor yet. Can you imagine what I felt like when I was still pregnant on my due date. Then my mother had the nerve to get pissed at me when I didn't call her the second my labor started. A couple days prior to going into labor I started having false labor contractions, thought it was "it", so I called my mom and she stressed me out so bad over the phone that the contractions stopped. Learned my lesson the hard way.
Now she has the nerve to get irritated with me when I tell her I am going to give birth in my living room. I have a bigger pool this time around and my living room is the only room that is big enough. She wants to know where everyone is suppose to go when I am giving birth. I don't fricken care, Stand right over me and watch. The more the merrier. Not like she hasn't seen me give birth before. She just likes to bitch about anything and everything UGH.
So after all this complaining, the bottom line is, how the heck am I going to handle another child???? I know there are plenty of women out there that have more children than me, but thats them. They obviously have patience like no other. I know once the baby is here, he or she will fall into place within our family, but looking at it now, I am scared to death here. With my others, I felt ready from very early on. So I feel a bit guilty that my feelings are not falling into place this time.
Ok, well I had another appt with Susan on Monday.
Heartbeat was in the 140s. cant remember exact cause Bennett was crawling all over me and I couldnt hear what she said lol. found out the hard way that the baby doesnt like its HB heard, started kicking VERY hard right where she put the doppler. it was borderline painful. moving stopped as soon as she took the doppler off and I haven't felt a kick since.gained 5 pounds in a month, so that puts me at 25 pounds total ugh!Im measuring a little over 2 weeks ahead, but I measured big for my last 2 kids so its nothing unusual for me.so thats it, she is coming back in a month!
Here is a pic from today:
I have taken on a more rounded look rather than sticking straight out like I was last week. Look a little more normal this week
