Today my boys treated me to a day at the beach, a long nap full of snuggles, and dinner at Mellow Mushroom! Apparently all of this was orchestrated by Lochlan. I guess he wanted to go on a picnic, and hubs and he had been discussing Mother's Day all week when he decided that the beach was a reasonable location.
Yesterday the boys went to the store to get beach supplies, and Lochlan got the biggest beach basket complete with a wagon, big shovel, and complete sand castle set! Needless to say he was soooooooo excited to take everything to the beach this morning.
We got to the beach around 10:30 am, and spent the first half hour eating our PB&J sandwiches while watching the waves.
After that, we spent about an hour yelling that we wanted to go home because it wasn't safe and the beach is a scary, scary thing! *eye roll* THEN, a few kids were playing in the waves, so bug decided he was going to put on his Octonaut suit (floaties) and attempt to put his feet in the water. :-D It was all well and good until the little boy that inspired him to go into the ocean was playing too close, tripped, and fell into him, knocking him down annnnnnnnnnnd we were back to square one. Even though he refused to go into the ocean and was terrified (which is apparently an inherited trait), he wants to go back tomorrow, and said he had a lot of fun!
It was such an amazing day, and I was absolutely tickled by the fact that every so often Lochlan would just look at me, smile, and then say, "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!" I can't wait to add another sweet little boy to the mix in September!
Speaking of Peanut, here's an update!
How far along: 23 weeks 4 days

Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss: I was sternly told to watch what I'm eating at this point before it gets out of control...
Maternity clothes: Absolutely.
Stretch marks: Nope
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Sleep: Pretty solidly when Lochlan doesn't get up in the middle of the night, but according to my Fitbit, I get very little deep sleep.
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Movement: Yep! Hubs finally felt peanut moving from the outside a few days this week. Sometimes the movements are really faint; I'm assuming this is when he's higher up and kicking the placenta. Other times, he's wailing away in there!
Best moment this week: This week has been really stressful, but I think the "best" moment was my doctor's appointment on Tuesday and finding out my placenta has moved up, so we're clear for a regular delivery.
Worst moment this week: Feeling 120% overwhelmed with absolutely no answers. Our house is sold, and we have nowhere to live come July 1st.

Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been easily aggravated.
Food cravings: Nothing at all.
Anything making you queasy or sick: This kid may come out looking like Cousin Itt if the wives tales are true!
Miss anything: Nothing in particular over the last few weeks.
Weekly Wisdom: You CAN still run at the gym in intervals, so keep it up! And seriously, lay off of all of the snacks unless you're ACTUALLY hungry. Being bored does NOT mean that you're hungry.
Looking forward to: Summer and things to work out like we are hoping they do.
