18 Weeks - Baby Artichoke

I felt her! I think!? It was definitely "fluttering" as many describe. I wish I could feel her more! This week has been hectic, mostly at work. I've been backed up and stressed which is definitely giving me more aches. I've been getting migraines and tension headaches, my neck and head have been feeling awful. Today and yesterday weren't so bad. I did stop taking my B-Complex vitamin and stuck with the B-12 prescribed to me as well as the prenatal. Might be too much B? Is that even a thing?

AND... we put a hold on a new two bedroom apartment in Lake Wylie, SC. It's nice and remote and the unit faces the woods, very private. It's also right next to the walking trails that leads to a kayak storage and dock. I'm actually pretty excited about that, I'd be down to buy a set and get on the water with my husband! It's great that we'll be getting the two bedroom because now I can decorate a nursery (hello... nesting, haha).  I'll attach some pictures of the place below.

Next week, Monday specifically, is the anatomy scan!!! *Correction, the scan is actually the following Monday, wah!* I ,wait. I feel like it's been forever since I've seen little Zoey Bug. What else? Oh, the dogs have been super attentive to my belly lately, maybe they sense her moving? I have another picture of Boomer being cuddly while I knit on the couch. I guess that's about all for now. Stay tuned for some more fun close up ultrasound pics next week!

17 Weeks - Please welcome...

Please welcome... Zoey Kathleen Rojek! Yes, it's a girl!!! My gut feeling was correct. Everyone is thrilled. We did a wonderful dinner at Chima with the Rojek family. The lovely, babcia (she requests this as her nickname for her great grandbaby) is down here to stay! My mother-in -law picked out Grandma for her nickname. Me? Just call me Mom. Wow, that's so strange to say. I'll have to get used to that one. Grandma (MIL Christine) set up a wonderful reveal with a box and a balloon and a cute little poem to say: Our Little Miracle Precious baby Tiny Treasure  You bring to us Joy beyond measure.  We stroke your cheek, Feel your face And pull you into A loving embrace. You laugh outloud And giggle a while You bring to our faces Grins and Smiles. You shed a tear We wipe it away And thank Jesus for you Every day. What a blessing You have been You changed our life And made it begin. It was so sweet and reading it over...

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

Mother's Day & My Birthday

I woke the morning of my birthday, May 12th (ironically also Mother's Day) around 3 am and passed a blood clot the size of my palm. I was 100% sure I'd had a miscarriage. I went back to sleep and when I woke, I spoke with Chris and we both decided we should go to the ER. Long story short... A small miracle but the baby was in there and doing fine. Heartbeat and all! ❤️ Best birthday/mother's day gift.
