HI BABY!

Easter

Easter this year was chaotic as usual!  We woke up, went to church and then went to my parents house, Jake's Grandma's and then his Mom's house.  Our annual egg hunt was kinda rained out...we did it under a covered garage but that really is not the same as doing it in the yard.  By the end of the night I was exhausted so my wonderful Sister-in-law let Kenzie spend the night with her.  Have I mentioned this lady is a saint?!?  I love Easter, it's always such a fun day spent with people who you love. 

18 Weeks and the Color Run

I'm 18 weeks and my bump finally decided to form!

                                                                       HI BABY

This past weekend Kenzie, Kim, my Mom and I went up to North Carolina to do the Color Run in Winston! It was a blast!!  Mom ditched us as soon as we got there to hang out with her best friend Vanessa but Kenz, Kim and I stayed at a hotel right by the fair grounds that night.  Then the next morning we got up and did our little race.  My cousin Adam (who is my BFF) meet us there and did it with us and of course Carrie was there too. 

 
After the race Kenzie with my aunt Sharon and Uncle Ed for the night so I went home with Carrie. Our pregnant butts literally went to her couches and didn't move til it was time to get some Maxie B's. Best cake and cupcakes ever! Then the next morning we met up at IHop...ate breakfast and then went home so I could spend some time with Lacie for her birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACIE SIMONE...love your guts!

16 WEEKS

Total Weight Gain:  -12 Pounds...yes I understand the point is to try and gain weight but this baby hates food!  Don't worry the last two appointments I have been yelled at...THANKS DR.L

Maternity Clothes:  Nope...I don't even look pregnant...just look like a very tired, unattractive, non-showered lady who doesn't care about what I look like at all!

Strech Marks:  Just the leftovers from Kenzie Lynn (that pregnancy was a 60 pound weight gain...lets pray for everybodys sake that isn't the case this time around)

Sleep:  Depends on the day...I am a stomach sleeper and I'm at that point where its uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach SO sometimes I will wake up because I ended up on my stomach.

Best Moment this Week:  Seeing Kenzie's reaction to finding out she was going to have a little sister! Too Cute

Miss Anything:  Sleeping on my stomach

Movement:  Not yet...this baby likes to just hang out with her arms behind her head and her little legs streched out in front of her...like she is sleeping in a hammock

Anything Make You Queasy or Sick:  Everything

Gender:  GIRL

Labor Signs:  No and lets keep it that way pretty please

Symptoms:  I'm tired no matter how much sleep I get, I cry at the drop of the hat, and I have NO patience

**I understand that I am supposed to post a picture BUT for your sake as well as mine (I didn't shower today) I will skip this step until I start to look pregnant (or showered)

IT'S A....

My beautiful Sister-In-Law has been a saint during my pregnancy...well she is a saint either way but she really has been my shoulder to run to for everything.  I feel like I am probably the luckiest girl in the world when it comes to in-laws, I honeslty love them to death. 

Back to Tonya! So she knows I am the most anxious person in the world and that I didn't want to wait til I was 20 weeks to find out what we were having...so we looked up ultra sound places in our area and made an appointment to find out when I was 15 weeks.  Then she had the awesome idea to throw a gender party.  Back 5 years ago when I was pregnant with Kenz there was no such thing as a Gender Party so of course this time around we had to do it! We came up with the box theory (thanks pinterest) and we sent out invites and then had to wait.

My day FINALLY came and I was so sick all day! When the time came Jake, Tonya and I went to the place and found out we were having a GIRL!! Not gonna lie, I cried.  I wanted a boy so badly and I knew this was my last pregnancy (my uterus is going into retirement at the ripe age of 25) but after some tears and a pep-talk from Saint Tonya and Carrie I felt better.  (Seriously....so excited for another girl....hello headbands, tutus, and matching outfits)

Our party was so fun....everybody that was invited came to show us support.  We were surrounded by friends and family and Kenzie was in heaven the entire night.  So weird...the entire pregnancy she has said she wanted a brother but that night she said she changed her mind and really wanted a sister. (She had no idea)

When it came time to open our box Kenzie opened it up and out came like 15 pink balloons.  Everybody started to cheer and laugh and hug.  It really was such a fun night. 

**The little red-head is Lawson....he wishes he was a Corley...he loves us more than he loves his own parents and thats why he is in most of our pictures! Just Kidding he is just obsessed with Jake and has to be with Jake anytime he is around.

In other news...Carrie Lynn is having a GIRL too! UHMM my cousin Adam literally just texted me and said "did you and Carrie plan this on purpose...it's kinda weird" My response...We make such a perfect pair for friends, God wanted our kids to be BFF just like us so that our friendship will last for generations to come!
