Welcome!!!

I am so glad that you have made it to my blog. My name is Rian, and I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years. We welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby girl, in April 2009. In March 2011, we sadly lost our second child to a miscarriage at 10 weeks pregnant. Our son was born in March 2012. This is my blog....the journey through my life with the people that I love.

22 weeks!

How far along? 22 weeks 1 day.

Total weight gain/loss: total gain of 5 lbs. Guess it has to happen at some point!

Maternity clothes? Yep. Always wear maternity pants but sometimes I can get away with some of my non-maternity shirts

Stretch marks? definitely

Sleep: not too bad. Getting 5-7 hours a night and sometimes not waking up to visit the bathroom

Best moment this week: Freddie feeling Landon move. I love sharing those moments with him

Movement: He is a mover and a shaker! I absolutely love it even when he is kicking my bladder (weirdest feeling ever!!)

Food cravings: I really don't have any. But I guess that's why I have only put on 5 lbs so far.

Gender: all boy!!!!

Labor Signs: Nope.....thank goodness!! And it can stay that way until our scheduled c-section!

Belly Button in or out? Still in but extremely shallow.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

What I miss: not walking like an old lady! lol. This fella just lays right on my sciatic nerve so I have a nice limp most days.

What I am looking forward to: seeing my little guy again on the 22nd! :-)

Weekly Wisdom: try to enjoy every moment even the uncomfortable ones. Some days I have a hard time doing this but there are so many women that would love to be in my shoes right now; pain and all.

Milestones: Getting to viability age. Might seem crazy to some people but at least I would know that if something did  happen (god forbid) that at least he would be given a fighting chance instead of being told that there was nothing to be done. 


And another milestone; figuring out how I want to do my maternity pictures. Freddie and I started practicing last night and I have a lot more research to do to get the right effect I'm going for. I know it is early but you can never be too prepared! :-)
