Weeks 26 & 27 - Moving

It's catch up time again! Why has it been so long? Well, we moved! I am completely exhausted. probably not the best time to move... being pregnant and all... but it made so much sense. We moved out of our fancy 1 bedroom in Charlotte, NC (with the granite counters, hardwood, fancy water/ice dispenser fridge, etc) and into a 2 bedroom in Lake Wylie, SC (with less upgrades but more room and privacy). This place is only 15 minutes from our old place in Charlotte and is on the 1st floor - perfect for taking out 2 dogs and hauling around a newborn baby. It had a wonderful view of the lake and woods from our back porch and having 2 bathrooms is key when pregnant and kicking your husband out of his "man cave" (a.k.a. bathroom) when you have a baby sitting on your bladder 24/7. I'm also really excited to have a place for Zoey, her own nursery/bedroom that we can decorate and make special for her. My nesting is kicking in full time and I've been non-stop unpacking and putting things exactly the way I want them. I have pregnancy to thank for that... it's not normal for me to be so "go getting" when it comes to this kind of stuff.

We also got to spend a little time with my Dad this weekend. The carnival he was working is stationed 2 hours away in Greenwood, SC. We took a nice drive through the backwoods of South Carolina and even though there was a few sketchy areas (in a "Hills Have Eyes" way) it was nice to see a little more of the state we moved to. Quite a bit of history and farm country. The visit with Dad went great and I was happy he was able to see me pregnant before Zoey gets here. He'll probably be back around to meet Zoey during the holidays.

Next time I'll be following up with photos from the next Ultrasound appointment. Overall, Zoey is doing really well... I am growing like crazy and feeling a little more achy and it's gotten harder to move around. I believe this is my last week in the 2nd trimester... so we are getting there. I still need to interview for a pediatrician, pack my hospital bag, write up my birth plan and get a living will for the two of us. Oh and I'll be working on those thank you cards! A little behind but it was difficult to be organized after returning from CT and having to pack and move within 3 weeks! Now we are settled and can focus on returning the love!

    The bathtub especially caught my eye. I am loving my me-time in the tub when I can get a baby-break. I cant wait to see the nursery when it's all set up. Xo <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...
