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 :)
