My husband finally got to feel Abigail kick! I am sooo excited. Probably more excited than he is lol. I have been waiting weeks now for her to kick hard enough for him to feel and now that she is doing it quite a lot he finally got a good couple kicks!
It's so exciting! I am so happy that he can enjoy this with me now. I love being able to feel her kick and move around. It's so amazing.

Happy November!
I am so excited that it is November :-) I thought October was going to be slower than molasses but it actually wasn't too painful. BUT November has lots in store!
Next weekend we have a wonderful 96 and one of my girlfriends is having her baby shower! I am not only excited for that because I'm excited for her but I know that being at her shower is going to get me super excited for mine which is 2 weeks after!!
To keep my busy in between her shower and mine we have November 19th. For those of you who don't know what that means, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 is released! Now my husband and I are huge fans but we are in no way going to midnight premiere dressed in costume or anything. We just both really enjoy the story and a good date night.
Then, after that weekend my husband and I will be leaving around 8 am wednesday morning (the 24th) to go home for Thanksgiving!! Seriously my favorite holiday ever. Not only is Thanksgiving that thursday but that Friday I am having a whole day of shopping with my mom! I love mommy daughter outings so I'm super duper excited. Then of course that Saturday is my baby shower! I get to see all of my family and friends and open lots of pink and purple things :-)
This month is going to FLY by and before I know it, it will be December!! That means hitting the 3rd trimester! Woohoo!
So today is awesome even if it is a Monday. Enjoy it ladies!
I Love You Mr. Sykes<3
You too Abigail<3

Our weekend
We had the most AMAZING time on our marriage enrichment retreat this weekend. I had good expectations for it but it even exceeded those.
We were on our retreat from 5pm on Friday until 9 am on Sunday. We stayed at this wonderful place in Pine Knoll Shores right before Atlantic beach. There was no internet or tv in our rooms so you had tons of time to focus on each other. There were lots of wooded paths and ponds and it really was so incredibly beautiful. That was just our surroundings!
We were at the retreat with about 10 or so other couples. 3 of which were pregnant too so that was pretty cool. We had our classes as a group but did exercises as couples and then could share what we learned with the group if we chose to. We really learned so much and it made us realize a lot too. Almost all of the couples were there to try and get help with communication and almost all of them had similar problems or disagreements. It was great to see how they dealt with these things and talk to others about it.
I would seriously highly recommend everyone goes to one of these at some point. It's not marriage counseling or divorce counseling or anything like that. It's just an opportunity to learn how to communicate better with your spouse and in the end love each other deeper and really appreciate one another.
Here is the Credo website for the Lejeune area ladies

At least check it out. It's FREE and you get all of your meals and rooms included. It's a great experience and I am SOOOOO thankful we went on this.

Finally!
I am finally feeling better. I am still super congested but I no longer feel like death is merely minutes away. Big improvement!
I love my job because I get all day to relax and work on feeling better. Mornings are painful having to get up early and move but knowing I get to come home at 8 and sleep until whenever I feel like it makes it better.
I am super thankful that my immune system is working again because this weekend is our marriage retreat. Jon has been told that it's great at helping with communication (which we need) and that it is a lot of fun! It's free and we get to have a resort weekend together. I'm really excited for it!
Halloween is Sunday which happens to be my husbands birthday too. I don't know what we are doing yet. Maybe handing out candy, maybe not. We have been told that not a lot of kids come trick or treating down our road so it might be a bust. I guess we will see.
Remember that accident I got into back in June? Remember how I went to court just to have to go back because the paper from the insurance company wasn't worded right and people apparently get 2 years to file a claim? WELL, that all got taken care of yesterday! FINALLY!!! I got another paper from the insurance company that still wasn't worded properly but I had a court date and just made due. I am so thankful that the ada was such a nice guy and it probably helped that I was pregnant and maybe played on the tired, hungry, miserable card. He dismissed the ticket so I never have to go through any of this again! WOO HOOO!!!
I'm sorry I have been such a slacker with my blog lately. I have been busy, sick, and just plain unmotivated. Hopefully that will all change soon.
If I don't blog before I leave for the weekend tomorrow then have a wonderful halloween!
I love you Mr. Sykes<3

IT"S A GIRL!!!
YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! It's a girl!!! The ultra sound was clear as day that we are having a little girl. I would post pics of it but I feel kinda like that would be borderline kiddy porn so we're not going to do that. Just take my word for it haha.

It's Monday!!!
Although I did have to wake up and head to work this morning it's still a great day. Why?
It's hopefully the day we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!! Yay!! I'll keep you posted on that!
Other updates, I'm still sick. My throat and head feel better but I'm still having a relationship with the toilet. Lucky me. It has to end eventually just keeping my fingers crossed that it's soon.
I'm off to get ready for the day I'll keep you posted!

Sooo sick.
On days that I can sleep in I never sleep past 8:30. I have been so sick lately and worn down from it that I slept until 1:30 pm today. I went to bed around 10:30 last night. That is a ridiculous amount of sleep! And I am STILL exhausted. I can barely move. My body feels like it's a million degrees but my temperature is normal. My bottom left wisdom tooth is throbbing which makes my entire jaw hurt. My head feels like it's at least 10 lbs heavier than usual.
On the plus side, my throat isn't all that sore anymore. But I do still have a cough.
I can't catch a break.
Hubby is sick too. Not good.
BUT... only one more day until Monday! woohoo!
Edit: I can now add number 2ing constantly to my list. Without being too vivid. Lets just say Pepto Bismal is my Bff right now.
