23 weeks!

      Soo I am 23 weeks tomorrow and I am feeling great! One annoying thing that has started off and on is my tail bone will hurt like crazy some days. Mostly after I have been sitting for longer than half an hour at a time! So that would be mostly on Sundays when I sit for 3 hours at church:)! Other than that I am having a great pregnancy and have been blessed to have one! Having Kennedy would make a difficult pregnancy nearly impossible to handle. I have been running about 4 times a week and I take it pretty easy and go at a slow pace. It feels nice to still be able to do that! I get a little crampy in my tummy when I run but I am assuming this is normal? Ha better ask my OB to be safe huh!!

How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 3 pounds. I weigh myself every Tuesday/Wed at the same time. Today it said I had lost a pound from last week. Not quite sure how that works?

 Maternity clothes? Nope! Nope jeggings and long shirts for now.

Stretch marks? No new ones from this pregnancy:)

Best moment this week: I just love feeling her. She isn't as active as Kennedy was but she kicks a lot at night and a little throughout the day:)

Miss anything: Running and feeling completely comfortable!

Movement: Lots!

  Food cravings: PB, fruit, and greek yogurt with granola! Yumm:)

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope, luckily.

Have you started to show yet: Yep!

  Gender: Girl!

      
          In other news, Kelin finishes this semester off tomorrow! Then it is 7 weeks of freedom and relaxation. Kelin will start school back up in the Fall/September and graduate 2 semester later in April! Woo hoo only 2 semester left. How blessed we are to have been able to get through schooling so fast in our marriage and still take care of our family while I have always been a stay at home mom! I am grateful for BYUI! Kennedy is as happy and active as ever.. I love that little girl. I hope her and Kensington will be best friends! I know I have loved growing up with a sister 2 years younger than me and I know Kennedy will love it also! I cant believe I am 6 months pregnant and in just a few months we will have 2 sassy girls running around. I am sure it will be crazy for a while but Kelin and I are sure excited!!
                

Almost 22 weeks

Almost 22 weeks! I cant believe how fast its going! I am feeling great and feeling the baby more and more everyday..so fun! We have decided what her name will be! We have actually known for a while, we are naming her Kensington:)! We decided to keep the K names in the family lol. Is it too early to already be nesting? Ha because so far I have already went through all of Kennedy's clothes that she doesnt fit into and washed and refolded them. I also redid Kennedy's room and have been redecorating. I made a fun craft for Kensi and Kennedy that holds all of their hair bows and clips that I got inspired from via Pinterest of course:)! Lately Kennedy and I have been soaking up the sun and going on lots of walks. I have been walking the temple at least 3 times a week and its brutal! I am trying to keep it up though so that I hopefully gain all of my baby weight in my stomach. I also just love the accomplishing feeling that being active gives me. Kennedy loves being active also and I think if I didnt have her to play with everyday I would absolutely go stir crazy! I am so excited and grateful to add another sweet girl to our family:)! Kelin is still plugging along and has 2 weeks left of this semester!! Where has Spring gone?!! So crazy but so exciting because Fall is my favorite time of the year here in Rexburg! O man I cannot wait. I can already taste all of the pumpkin goodies now:)

Kennedy's 20 month pics!

      So a couple weeks ago I was in the laundry room of our complex when our apt manager came up to me and said how cute she thought Kennedy was and asked if she could take some free pics of her for her photography business she is starting up in Rexburg. She has done a lot of photography in Utah but never in Rexburg. Obviously I was thrilled! I dont want to brag or anything, but this is the second time I have been approached by people wanting to take pics of my baby girl! Ha;) at this rate I may never have to pay for  a photo session..jk! All joking aside I was very grateful for this opportunity because I have been wanting some recent pics of Kennedy and I didn't exactly want to pay 200 plus bucks to get them. So anyways Amy did an excellent job and if you live in or near Rexburg I would highly recomend her for any type of photo shoot! She specializes in wedding and photography but is excellent at adapting to any sort of session. She even got my energizer bunny daughter to sit down and smile for a few shots..quite the accomplishment:) Here is her website..www.burtonstudios.com. Also the adorable white headband and accesories were all from my friend Amanda. You can find her on facebook under Amanda's BOWtique! She makes adorable baby headbands and other fun accessories!

      Also here are a few things to love..REVENGE! Kelin and I are addicted. Every night we cuddle up and watch one or three;) episodes. Seriously if you haven't watched this show just do it and thank me later:)

     I am 21 weeks pregnant today! It was a perfect day to celebrate for being the fourth. We started the day off with a parade that Rexburg put on. Kennedy had a blast but she mostly just had fun looking at the booths and all of the puppies that other people had. We then had a bbq with some of our friends from our ward. After we went to the water park and swam until dinner! Such a great day! We decided to bag fire works because Kennedy goes to bed at 8 and fire works shoot off much later! But it was a great day..I sure do love my little family.

    Lastly, we are going to Utah on the 19th! My moms bday is on the 22nd so we will be there for that:)! I cannot wait! We will also be there for the big firework show and parade on the 24th! Yep life is pretty much great!!
