20 Weeks & Anatomy Scan

She passed! She is healthy, has everything where is should be, nothing out of the ordinary seen! I am thrilled. I never knew how nervous you can get until you have a baby growing inside of you, what a nervous wreck I've become. I guess this is what all mothers talk about... how they are constantly worrying and always on edge. I'm just so happy she is healthy. I've attached quite a few of the ultrasound pics below.

I've definitely been feeling her, it's very low... not where I was expecting to feel the flutters but the ultrasound technician said it's because of the way she's positioned. It's her legs kicking me towards the crotch... ouch, when that happens... it's exactly what they call it - LIGHTING CROTCH! She gets me in that cervical nerve or whatever and it's like a jolt down there. I wonder if that's how it feels when a guy gets punched down there, lol. At least it goes away quickly.

What else happened this week? We went to an abstract "golf leaf" painting ?class? I hate to call it a class, even though that's what they advertised, because they basically gave you paint and a few simple tips and said "GO". I mean, I get it's ABSTRACT and everyone will be doing something different, but yeah... very hands off. I've attached a picture of the one I painted. It's more than likely going in the nursery since it's got similar colors to the theme.

Oh yeah, my tooth. I forgot to update that. All is well... $900 later and I am fit for a permanent crown. I have a temporary one in now and thankfully ZERO pain! Dental work is so expensive. Not to get all political... but somethings got to give around here! I'm just glad my blood sugar numbers are getting back to normal, it was definitely elevated from the pain and stress. I still find that fascinating that you can raise your blood sugar just with stress and pain alone! I am proof of that.

I guess that's about all for now. I won't have too much excitement for next week to share (unless something surprising comes up) but the week after I will be in Connecticut! Yay! I can't wait. I know, I know... it's been mentioned in every post since I planned the visit... but I am just beside myself with excitement to see all my loved ones.

In the meantime, I am going to go back to soothing little Zoey with the lullaby I've picked out: Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds"... and it goes a little something like this:
Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', (this is my message to you)

Singing' don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', this is my message to you

Singin' don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh
Every little thing gonna be alright, don't worry
Singin' don't worry about a thing, I won't worry
"'Cause every little thing gonna be alright (2x)

  1. Love the lullaby choice. It always puts me at ease , I can imagine how nice it will be for Zoey to hear it sung by Mama <3

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...

16 Weeks - Lil' Avacado

I've nearly missed my 16 week update! Things are starting to fly by. The answer is... Yes, I know the sex of the baby BUT.... No, I can't share just yet! The Rojek family is having a nice dinner out at "Chima" (all you can eat Brazilian meat place, yum!). This is to celebrate 🎉 Chris' Grandma Vicky coming down to LIVE here. So exciting! OH, and we will be doing a little gender reveal at dinner (which we will film or do pictures and I'll post something on here). Can I just tell you how excited I am that she's moving down here?! Now I'll have a crafting buddy and more family to surround us! Now I have to work on some from my side of the family, haha. I doubt anyone would make the jump, but it can't hurt to try! Oh, I forgot to mention, the NIPT came back negative and .01% for any of the markers. Baby is healthy! I started the insulin at night for my fasting numbers and it really isn't so bad. The shot is painless (especially compared to ...

5 weeks, 5 days

So... this is feeling real now. It's still VERY early and I haven't even had my first ultrasound yet... but I feel very pregnant. My chest is killing me, I can't wear a bra around the house because it's too much. I have some nausea (no vomiting, thankfully) and some aversion to smells - today my husband made this "Chicken Pot Pie" soup and it smelled SOOOO bad, like cat food.  I have to hand it to Chris though, he's being so good about making sure I am comfortable and doing things around the house. I can't imagine doing this without him.  He finally let me tell his mother, I've been dying to for awhile now... but he's so hesitant because of what happened last time. I definitely understand that. I'm reluctant myself. I've only told Ari, Marsha and now my Mother-in-Law. It's hard because the more people you tell, if something goes wrong... it was hard last time to have to let people know. It's better to wait and be 100% tha...
