It's been a long time.

I think I start every blog post the same.  "I haven't been here in a while, I want to post more, yadda yadda..."  And here we are again.  It's been almost 4 months since my last post.  Even my mom stopped asking if I was blogging.  I'm going to try and get us all caught up, in as few words as possible.  There have been some major happenings at the Bee's Knees House (Beehive? I'm going to think about that).  In any case, I'm pregnant!  I am 21 weeks pregnant with our 2nd baby BOY!  I've been wanting to get back here and update the blog, but there have been so many things going on I haven't been able to.  Well now that we've made our way through that, we couldn't be more excited!  We've had the usual roller coaster of emotions through the first few months of pregnancy, so many tests and waiting and ultrasounds, I'm hoping the rest of my pregnancy will go smoothly.  I have felt different this time around, more nauseous, more tired, but every pregnancy is different and my life is different this time around.  With Silas I was going to work everyday. Now I'm catering to a toddler's whims as well as my own.  And I love it.  Speaking of BIG BROTHER, Silas turned 1 on June 6th.  We had a fantastic BBQ with friends and family.  It was better than I could have imagined it.  So many people came and showered us with love and that was the time we revealed to most of our friends that we are expecting another little one.  My official due date is 12/13/14.  How awesome is that?  If only #2 would come on that day!  

Here's Silas playing with his toys a few days after his birthday. 

I saw this little questionnaire on a great blog I follow: http://lifealaskanstyle.blogspot.com/ and when I saw it I knew I had to start incorporating it on my blog.  So here we go!!   

How Far Along?  21 weeks. 

Size of Baby:  Belgian Endive, 3/4 of a pound and 10 inches long! 

Gender:  BOY!!

Weight Gain:  Right about 10 pounds.   

Maternity Clothes:  Yes.  Honestly, I got my maternity jeans out right away because I was tired of trying to squeeze into my pre-maternity jeans.  (I'll post more about that later.)

Nursery:  We talked about the nursery.  We only have 2 bedrooms on the main floor, so we are going to wait and see how we feel about who gets to move upstairs.  For the first few months though, #2 will be sleeping next to me in the co-sleeper bassinet like Silas did. 

Movement:  Oh yes.  I love feeling my little guy move.  Puts a smile on my face every time. 

Symptoms:  I've had some heartburn, like I had with Silas.  I'm waking up at least once a night to use the bathroom. 

Cravings:  Comfort food.  And tacos.  And today I was wanting a gooey, melty, caramel.  Preferably over ice cream. 

What I Miss:  Not even going to lie: WINE. 

Best Moment This Week:  Hmm, this week?  Oh Wednesday!  I had an ultrasound, got to see baby boy again and my mom came over to hang out and watch Silas.  And I conned the poor woman into staying kinda late, it's a long drive through traffic for her.    

Looking Forward to:  The World of Faeries Festival this weekend!  I'll be sure to blog about that. 

Okay, I think that's enough for now.  I will be posting more regularly.  I want to talk about my health goals this time around, my work outs, what we've been doing this summer and all kinds of other good things!
