Pregnancy-27 weeks

Being pregnant is one of the scariest, yet most magical things.  I just cant grasp that my body can make and carry another human being.  If I didn't have the terrible morning sickness the first 18 weeks, I could be pregnant all the time.  This pregnancy has been very similar to my pregnancy with Mitchell, other than being way sicker this time around.  I never really took weekly baby bump pictures with either pregnancy.  I did take this picture on Sunday at 27 weeks while laying in bed.

It shows how big my belly is getting with my little coffee bean growing in there.  Working as a Labor & Delivery RN makes being pregnant even scarier than it already is.  I see all the problems and losses that occur while being pregnant.  I also see little miracles make their appearances.  I can't wait for this little bean to get here, but I want him to grow for 13 more weeks.

27 4/7 weeks

How I'm feeling: I have been feeling great.  I have been noticing after my 12 hours at work, I am completely wiped.  Flipping patients has been getting harder at work, I have been asking for more help with that.  Generally speaking, I am a happy little pregnant person with no filter.

Total weight gain: I have gained 15 pounds, yicks!! My OB is okay with me gaining 30-35 pounds, so I would say my weight gain is going well!

Sleep: Other than getting up a million times to pee at night, my sleep has still been okay. Alot of tossing and turning.  Last night my bug woke up from the storms, and came to sleep with us.  I sleep terrible when he sleeps with us but thats not due to bean.

Movement: Oh yea!! This little coffee bean is a moving machine-- a jumping bean.  Bean has been breech at my sonos and with the movement, I still feel like he is breech.  I hope he flips before delivery day because this mama would like a vaginal delivery again.

Food cravings: Italian and thai and of course my coffee

Name: we may have decided but we are going to keep it a secret--other than family. We will continue to call him bean- coffee bean.

I can't wait to meet this bean,

Happy Father's Day Dad.

I haven't blogged since August 27, 2012.  You may wonder why? I know exactly why. I blogged for one reason-- that reason, being my dad. I have never been a good writer, but he wanted me to. He loved to read what I had to say.  It seems like shortly after August 27, 2012, my dad went from having cancer to fighting for his life from the cancer.
With Father's Day being tomorrow, I couldn't help but look back at my sad little blog. I am writing this post for him. This will be the third Father's day that I have to celebrate without my dad. It makes me angry, sad, and just plain emotional. I hate that my dad has missed out on so much that has continued to happen since he has passed away.  I hate that I have missed out on building my relationship with my dad.
Since my dad has passed away, he has missed out on alot of big milestones in the Jungjohann/Powell life. Since my dad has passed away
I have
-Finished/Graduated Nursing School
-Found out I was pregnant with bug
-Passed NCLEX
-Started working my dream job as a Labor and Delivery RN
-Delivered the most perfect little baby boy, Mitchell
-Grow as a person/become a mom
-Pregnant with our second baby-Bean

Those are just the big milestones that my dad has missed out on, not to mention every little thing that has happen in our life. It is so easy to be sad and angry that my dad is gone, but yet I should be happy that I had the best dad! I am so thankful for the relationship with my dad. My dad taught me so many things in life even in the 22 years that I got to spend with him here on earth.
So Thank you Dad in heaven for continuing to be a big role model in life. Love you forever and always. XoXo,
You favorite daughter :)

Just Blah.

My mood lately has been blah.  I have been feeling down with all the things going on with my dad.  It is scary to see someone you love have problems.  Of course those problems started in 2009 when he was diagnosed but lately these are problems that we have never encountered.  He was in SVT on Thursday and had a heart rate of 150 which is REALLY high and he had to take some medicine to make it come down.  He has felt really sluggish lately and it shows in his personality which scares me. So all I have felt lately is blah.  I have a test today and don't prepared because I feel like I am in a fog. Well just a small update on why I have been MIA and have not been a sassy pants lately. TaTa!

DA BEARS

Today is one of my favorite days of the year, other than my birthday and Christmas, it is the first day of the Bears season.  I LOVE Bears football.  It marks that Fall is coming- my favorite season of the year.  I have never been to a Bears game in person but I try to watch every game I can.  I know that I will be going to a bears game sometime in my life at Solider Field.  Well I better get back to watching the game, I feel so distracted trying to type this.

Exciting News!

My parents have had their up for sale for about a month now and they got an offer this week on it.  The people offered with a contingency on Thursday and on Sunday they wrote a contract on their house! So they officially have a move in day on September 8th! Hip Hip Hooray! They also got a new car, on friday.  They got a Red Chevy Equinox and it is so stinking cute!  They traded in both of their cars for it. YAY for good news for my parents!

Veg?

This whole week, I have eaten as a vegetarian.  Meat has really been grossing me out lately.  I am not sure what it is.  I think it is the aspect of preparing it but gosh I don't want anything to do with it.  I  hope this is just a phase I am going through because I don't think Dustin would like every meal with no meat.  I am pretty sure he would kill me to eat meat, ew okay that's gross.  No zombie action here!

"Coming up on the rear"

This past weekend Dustin and I went on our first ever Float trip to Huzzah River. We left Friday morning and met at the Walmart on 6th street with everyone. Everyone consisted of Tonya, Micah, Denise, Nick, Tammy, Brandon, Andrew, Nikki, Andrew, Vanessa, Anne and Mike.  There was 14 of us! Everyone has gone canoeing except Tammy.  We were the newbies on the trip.  When we arrived we went to "check in" and pay for our camping part.  Dustin and I already paid for the canoe part earlier in the month.  They had a cute "store" and Dustin and I invested in koozies on a necklace type thing.  After messing around there we decided to go to our camping spots and set up.  We set up quickly so we could go sit in the River.

There is a couple of us lounging around! Thank god for Tonya she took alot of pictures! I always forget and am glad someone does it!! On the trip Dustin and I brought Miller 64's and Bud Light Lime.  If you know me , I am not a drinker nor am I a beer drinker.  But what better place to start to try to drink beer? Right?  

D and I lounging on a raft.  We were out there all day. 

Dustin showing his boobies.  He won the award for smallest boobies! Thank god I didn't!!

Dustin after a few drinks! Happy boy :)

 Tonya and Micah bought food for everyone and we split the cost.  For friday night dinner was hobo pies and then we brought our own chips and snacks to share. 

There is the Playboy someone whipped out.  We made our own dinner.  Well Nikki help me make my hobo pie and pretty much cooked it for me! Thanks Nikki! We sat out at the fire and drank apple pie and some beers! We headed to bed ready for the day of canoeing!

Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey! We woke up and Micah made us breakfast. We had egg, bacon, CHEESE, bagels.  They were pretty delish! We than made our own PBJ for the day.  I packed 4 for us.

Our picture together before the day of fun! I didn't bring a hat or bandanna, so Nikki let me borrow one of hers.  Now that I think of it, I hope I gave it back?  We were going 6 miles on Huzzah and then 4 miles on Meramac.   Like I said Dustin and I have never canoed and everyone told us we would probably flip!  I would like everyone to know we DID NOT flip! YAY us!  We did get spun around and stuck at times but that's ok.  We had alot of fun and I drank a little no ALOT to much.  I drank a handful of beers and got sick of it.  So thank you Tonya, for a few of your drinks, Tammy for your cherry vodka and Nikki for a Mikes hard Lemonade! My favorite saying for the day was " Coming up on the rear."  Tonya and I decided to switch when our canoes got close.  So I was with Micah for a while and she was with Dustin.  She wasn't feeling it with Dustin, so we switched back! We got back to the campsite and I was a hott mess.  Thanks Dustin for taking care of me.  Dustin has never seen me drunk and he thought it was hilarious, but thank god he loves me enough to hold me hair while I did some puking!!  Mike provided me a puke bucket and helped Dustin with me! When it was time to get up and get our stuff packed up I was puking still.  I did help but was a hott mess most of the day.  He bought me a blue G2, my favorite! And let me sleep.  We stopped at the Huddle House on the way back and I got a waffle with no butter, no syrup, no whipped cream- Plain Jane please! It was good and thank god I kept it down.  I slept the whole way home after that! So I leave you with some fun pictures! Thanks Tonya and Micah for including us!!
