DiApEr bAg
After countless hours of research and searching....I have finally found the diaper bag I want. Of course I can only find it online so I don't know how it really looks. But I guess thats a risk I have to take.

Week 25
Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down.
Weight Gain: Not sure...but after vacation and all the churros, cotton candy, caramel apples, and mickey ice creams I am scared to find out. Although I may have walked enough to balance it out.
Sleep: Ehhhh...its ok. I know it will only get worse from here.
Gender: Same.....don't know. Its funny when strangers ask me if its another boy, its almost like they are scared for me.
Name: Still no boy name. I joke around and call it Fatso because thats what Jayden said...he thinks it funny when I do.
Food cravings: I have eaten anything and everything I crave. Right now I LOVE meatball subs from subway....had one for lunch today.
Best moment this week: Getting to see how much fun the boys had.
What I miss: Honestly....my own house, my own kitchen, my own space.
What I am looking forward to this week: Going on a date tomorrow with my handsome husband, painting a dresser I got awhile back, sleeping more!

Oops skipped a week...
Whoops....I didn't do week 23, I just skipped to 24 because I guess I just never got around to it. So here we are are 24 weeks! YEY!
Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's skin is becoming more opaque as the fat starts to pack on. And, thanks to the formation of small capillaries, her newly thick skin is taking on a fresh pink glow.
Weight Gain: I am at 15 pounds total. When I had my doctors appt yesterday she said something about my weight and I thought I was in trouble. But just the opposite, she said so far I was doing really good and she thinks this time I won't gain as much.....well here is to hoping.
Sleep: Now that we turn on the A/C at night I am sleeping very nicely!
Gender: Still don't know.... but I narrowed it down to a boy or girl.
Name: We have yet to decide. Jayden's suggestion is Fatso....too bad there isn't a "y" in it.
Food Cravings: I never got my cheesecake....but am still hopefull. What I really want is some shrimp from Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory...only 5 days then I will get some.
Belly Button in or out: Still in.
Best Moment this Week: I went in for a check up yesterday. The n/p was trying to get the heart rate with the doppler and the baby did not let her. Every time she put it on my stomach the baby would kick it until she moved it. The baby did it 4 times before the n/p moved to the other side of my stomach....it was really funny.
What I miss: Being able to stay home.
What I am looking forward to this week: Disneyland! Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory, the beach, How to Train your Dragon, seeing how excited the boys are when we tell them we are going on vacation....they STILL don't know. Just getting to spend time together and making memories.

22 Weeks
Here is how big baby is:
Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
Here are a few survey questions:
Weight Gain: 12ish pounds....I only weigh in at the doctors
Sleep: Getting uncomfortable....I bought a body pillow but its not doing its job. I wake up alot at night with hip pain.
Gender: Still don't know.....just waiting. Although some lady came up to me at Easter and said my baby is a girl and walked away....umm weird.
Name: Still in negotiations for a boy name. Jeremy suggested a name as a joke but I really liked it. But for a girl....Brinley
Food Cravings: I am DYING for a piece of Blueberry Cheesecake...maybe tomorrow I'll get some
Belly Button in or out: Still in, but getting flatish
Best Moment This Week: Getting to spend time with family at Easter.
What I Miss: MY own house!
What I am looking Forward to this week: Opening day on Saturday, both boys have games and hopefully getting to see Garrett & Rose's new baby.

Being a Boy Mom
I was reading lurking on a message board and sometimes find it leads me to lurk on other people's blogs. So I was reading this one about a woman who had a friend who had just found out she was having a boy.....she was upset it wasn't a girl. This was the advice/ words of wisdom:
You’re going to be a Boy Mom, and you’re going to be okay. In fact, you’re going to be great. You’ll love it so much that you’ll never be able to imagine NOT being a Boy Mom. It doesn’t matter that you LOVE being a girl, that you embrace every opportunity you get to dress up, do your makeup, get your nails done. It doesn’t matter that you much prefer shopping for shoes to browsing the sports store. Your love for all things zebra print, pink and soft does not mean you can’t and wont develop a love for “little man” clothes, toy trucks and OshKosh overalls paired with a toothy grin and muddy knees.
Being a Boy Mom means slobbery kisses and hugs that start with a running leap.
Being a Boy Mom means saving hundreds on clothes, even if only to spend that amount or more later in life on ER visits.
Being a Boy Mom means developing a keen eye for bugs and coming to terms with the fact that sometimes they can just be considered an extra helping of protein.
Being a Boy Mom doesn’t mean you won’t continue to be squeemish about things like spiders, it just means your squeels will be entertaining to the boy who taunts you by trying to eat one.
Being a Boy Mom means being the builder of block towers so big they lean and topple, leaving you both in stitches.
Being a Boy Mom means developing a very watchful eye while changing diapers, always on the lookout for that surprise pee stream attack.
Being a Boy Mom means having the pleasure of watching your son learn from his father.
Being a Boy Mom means you’ve been given the tremendous opportunity and challenge to raise someone who will grow up to be a respectful, loving and kind man. He may break hearts, but hopefully, with your guidance, he will do so gently, and ultimately he will make some lucky woman very, very happy.
Being a Boy Mom may mean giving up the fantasy of getting your nails done together after a frilly tea party, but it’s replaced by so many fun future memories that you can’t even begin to think up because right now you just don’t know what to do with a boy.

I just thought that this woman did good job describing how it is to be a mom of boys. I love each of my boys and can not imagine life with out them, or imagine them being a girl. They may be crazy, but thats ok, they are sweet too... There is nothing like having one bring you a flower (usually a weed) and say they picked it just for you, and watch and wait for you to put it in water so it won't die.
People always ask me what I hope this baby is...a boy or a girl. And really honestly, I would love another boy....but I am sure I could learn to live with a girl.

21 Weeks
Made it to 21 weeks! All of a sudden I cn feel alot more movement. Jeremy and Jayden have felt it too. Jayden was laying in bed with me and he felt it with his hand. At first he said it was a whimpy kick so it must be a girl, but after some careful thought he decided that if it was kicking it must be boy. Jayden is going to go to a new baby sitter, she is pregnant too but with twins. Jayden was pretty amazed by that and had a few questions.....like....why is mommies stomach bigger when we only have one baby in there? So I had to explain that my baby is older than hers. He seemed ok with that...its only a matter of time before he asks how its coming out.
Right now I don't really have any foods I don't like. But there are some that I REALLY want like...watermelon, and cheesecake with blueberries on top....yum.
Here are a few facts about baby John/Jane Doe:
Baby's now the size of a banana!
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, if baby is a girl, her womb is now stocked up with her lifetime supply of six million eggs (the number will drop to around one million by birth).
