ole schnikees: 2017 :: 35/52

Trevor has been saying some funny phrases at the right time/context like: are you kidding me?, whaaaaat?, what you talking about willis, that's strange, etc. it's so funny and cute and makes me laugh!

Tuesday morning, mom's neighbor Caitlin came over to play with trevor while mom worked so I could go over to manda's new house and help them move in and unpack. I worked over there until 330 and was beat! mom, tyler, trevor and I went out for dinner then T and I drove home. Al was home from work when we got there so he got T ready for bed while I got into bed. I slept from 830p-7am; I was exhausted!

Al was off wed and thurs this week, worked overnight Friday then he was off sat and sun again due to rotation change. wed morning I had a midwife appointment where she found the heartbeat right away (15 weeks)! after I got home, all 3 of us went up to Irvine park again to see the farm animals before they go home for the winter. then lunch, nap and we went to the airport/close restaurant hangar 54 for their wing night. Al and T played outside for a bit while I did the floors, then we finally got to watch cars 3!

Thursday I had graham again for the last day and since Al was off, after breakfast we went out garage saling a bit then to the apple orchard. it just opened last weekend so not everything was ready and they didn't have much for apples but the little boys had fun and we'll definitely be going back. after nap and after graham got picked up, we went out back and flew Trevor's kite for the first time! he's been asking for a while to fly his kite and since it was a beautiful day out and there was a breeze we took it out! he loved it even though we couldn't get it to stay up on it's own but he ran and ran and ran around with it (i'm going to try to attach a video of him doing it, hopefully it works).

Thursday I turned 15 weeks pregnant with baby #2! we haven't told Trevor yet but have told our close family and friends now! due date is February 22nd (was Feb 14th with Trevor); just hoping it's not Feb 4th again!! :) the first trimester I felt awful, the usual nausea all day, not feeling well, fullness after eating, and tired that I had with Trevor. although mom and Al say i'm sick more/worse this time but i'm not sure if that's actually the case or if it's just because i'm home and not distracted by work, and I can't sleep whenever I want this time around with a 3.5 year old. :) this week I have had bad allergies (missing my nasal spray) and some bad headaches. reading back on my blog post of week 15 preggo with T I had the exact same things! i'm going to try to do a comparison photo each week of pregnancy #1 vs #2 but we'll see if I get to it each week :) last time I started taking pictures right at 5 weeks but this is my first belly pic this pregnancy. I think that's both my mental weirdness feeling about this one (thank goodness I've heard the strong heartbeat now!) and that I started this pregnancy bigger than I wanted to; I had wanted to lose some weight first. but I started only 2.5 lbs heavier than I started T's pregnancy at, but my body composition is different from not working out as much and playing less softball. it's hard to tell what of my belly is baby, due to pregnancy #2, or gut... but it's turning hard and I can't suck in much anymore. I've been calling this baby BabyO or baby #2 and Al's been calling it Baby Olaf (instead of T's Baby Ole). :)

Friday we had breakfast with Al then when he was starting to get ready for work, T and I headed out to run some errands, hit some garage sales (we found great books for .25 cents each & some shoes/soccer cleats for T), and then played at a park. the weather was amazing!! i'm hoping this fall weather sticks around for a long time!

Saturday morning mom came down and A was off Sat & Sunday! Saturday was kind of rainy off and on so we did LOTS of projects around the house! during nap time mom and I ran some errands. sunday morning we got some more projects done then we all drove up to klingers market to play and shop a little bit. then we went to good ol' bloomer for lunch and drove by the old house. then home for nap. after nap mom, T and I went to the beach in Chippewa with matt and the kids while Al mowed the lawn. then home for supper, some uno then bed.

Monday morning we had breakfast, played outside a bit, then went to the animal game park in menomonie with Matt and the kids. we walked around the animal part and nature path, then played at the park, then went to the playground area. we did lunch in menomonie then mom headed back to Minnesota and we headed back home for nap and so Al could get ready for work. it was a great and busy and productive labor day weekend!!
