16 Weeks With Baby #3

Y'all, I am so behind already. I seriously have the best intentions with this, but time is passing so dang fast! I'm 20 weeks as of yesterday, and here I am doing a 16 week update. I swear I'll get better! (I hope)

             

Due Date

August 25, 2018

This Week Baby A...

Is about the size of an avocado. Her legs are more developed, head is more erect, and she's even growing toenails. 

Symptoms

At 16 weeks my constant state of nausea was finally starting to die down. I still was waking up in the mornings sick most mornings, but it wasn't near as intense. My hips started feeling wonky super early this pregnancy, so I started seeing the chiropractor weekly around this time. Also, HEARTBURN. Ughhhh, some nights I literally could not sleep it was so intense. 

Weight Gain

5 pounds (not doing so hot this time!)

Gender

Baby Girl!

Food Cravings/Aversions

I haven't had any longstanding cravings this time, really. It's usually I want something pretty intensely that day, go get it, then I'm good. But nothing consistent.

Movements

I maaaaybe felt a few tiny flutters during my 16th week, but they weren't definite and they were super few and far between. 

Sleep

Definitely getting better at this point! I got a pregnancy pillow around this time and it was a game changer. 

Daddy's Thoughts

Y'all, my husband is not a very excitable or emotional man, but he is pumped about this baby girl! He doesn't talk about it too much, but when he does he is just over the moon. 

Fun Moments

Grayson commenting on the size of my belly - not sure I call that "fun" necessarily, but it was funny - "Woah Mama! That's a big belly!". Also, the few flutters I felt got me super excited for feeling the regular movements here in the next few weeks!

Looking Forward To

Getting the nursery together! Planning for a girl is so different - this was about the time I picked out a color scheme for the room, so I got to work planning.  So fun!

The First 14 Weeks With Baby #3

Hey hey my friends! I'm trying desperately to get on track here with updates for my sweet baby #3 - but I'm over a month behind at this point! I hope now that I'm getting things started, I can keep going somewhat on track. 

To say I am overjoyed about this baby would be an understatement. I have always, always known I wanted three babies since I got married and knew I would eventually be a mama, so this feels just so perfect and meant to be to me. Although the hubs may disagree slightly - I had to work hard to get him to come around to having a third. He was NOT into the idea for quite awhile. But now that baby is on the way - and it's a baby girl - he's definitely excited and on board! 

The boys still aren't too super pumped, but the bigger my belly gets the more they acknowledge what's going on. Gavin likes to kiss my belly and say "Hi baby! Luh you baby!", so that's freaking precious. Grayson likes to pretend like he's too cool to care, but his sweet little shy smile when we talk about her gives him away. I think they'll both be smitten the second they lay eyes on her. 

Now...on to the very first baby #3 update!

                      

                       

Due Date

August 25, 2018

This Week Baby A....

Can now squint, grimace, frown, pee, and maybe suck it's thumb! Baby is about the size of a lemon, around 3 1/2 inches and weighing in at about 1 1/2 ounces. (I'm cheating here and keeping the exact same update from the first AND second times)

Symptoms

The first 14-15 weeks were not so great for me this go around. While I am super lucky that I never actually throw up with my morning sickness, that just means I feel insanely nauseas with absolutely zero relief...for weeks on end. This time the nausea started super early - I was about six weeks when I started waking up sick every morning. And that lingered for the next couple of months. I also have been gaining weight super fast this time, which isn't so fun. Almost immediately I couldn't put on any of my jeans - the weight gain seems to be happening in my hips and thighs just as quick as in my belly. I don't know if it's being mid-thirties now, the fact that it's a girl, or the fact that this is my third pregnancy, but I can say this pregnancy is super different! 

Weight Gain

At this point I had gained a couple of pounds - I also was starting out about five pounds heavier than I was with Gavin, which was seven pounds heavier than with Grayson....basically, the heaviest I've ever been, aside from during pregnancy. So this definitely wasn't an ideal starting point, but hopefully things won't be too bad! 

Gender

We found out super early this time because I just NEEDED to know! So we had the genetic blood test done, which told us it was a baby GIRL! But I couldn't believe it (even though it says it's 99.9% accurate) so I was holding off on getting too excited about this point and was waiting on an ultrasound to confirm, which I had done at 15 weeks. 

Food Cravings/Aversions

Nothing crazy this time. No real aversions, no real cravings, aside from random things I want like, right then, and once I've had it I'm fine. 

Movements

Nothing at this point

Sleep

The first trimester I had a bit of pregnancy insomnia, which I didn't even know was a thing until I googled it one night at 3 AM when I was wide awake for no apparent reason. I dealt with that for a couple of weeks, but once that was over things were much better! Still pretty comfy. 

What I Miss

I always cut out caffeine completely in the first trimester, but this time it was MUCH more difficult. I normally have a cup of coffee first thing in the morning, so doing without that when I felt so awful was SO HARD. Plus, instead of chasing one crazy toddler around, now I'm doing that PLUS dealing with the attitude of an almost five year old, PLUS breaking up fights constantly - no rest for mama! I NEEDED that caffeine! 

Daddy's Thoughts

He was happy when I told him, but not necessarily overjoyed...it took him awhile to be on board with the whole third baby thing, so I think the reality of what three kids means hit him right away. But once we found out it was a girl?! I've literally NEVER seen him so happy in the almost 10 years we've been together. He was meant to have a baby girl, I'm sure of it! 

Fun Moments

Having the bump pop is always fun, and it felt like it happened super early this time! Finding out it was a girl was obviously insanely exciting - like, I was in shock for DAYS. Maybe weeks. And finally being able to tell some of our close friends!

Looking Forward To

Everything! I love being pregnant, especially once I'm out of the first trimester, and knowing this is my very last time is making me enjoy every minute of it. I'm going to try to cherish every bit of it, and I can't WAIT to meet our sweet baby girl! 

40 Weeks - For the First Time!

I knew I would make it here, deep down - but I was really kind of hoping he might surprise me and be a few days early. But nope, I am 40 weeks and I'm seeing no signs of anything happening any time soon. I'm really, really hopeful that I'll go into labor on my own here in the next few days, but if nothing else, I'm going in to have my membranes stripped on Friday. Which means he should, fingers crossed, be here within the next week or so. Yayyy!!!!

Since I never made it this far with Grayson, I don't have a comparison photo or a comparison of what I was experiencing last time. I already had a week old baby at that point! So here we go, on to my first ever 40 week update.

Due Date

October 17th

This Week Baby A...

according to BabyCenter the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds and is around 20 inches long, but Grayson was bigger than that and was born a week early, so I'm guessing this kid may be a bit larger than that :) He is all ready to go in there, so any time he decides to make his arrival we are good to go! 

Symptoms

Honestly we don't have a whole lot going on over here, unfortunately. I definitely feel like I have a full grown human being inside of me. I'm having some sciatic pain for sure, some cramping and contraction like feelings here and there, and just your basic exhaustion. But honestly, for as pregnant and huge as I am, I feel pretty dang good. 

Weight Gain

At my last appointment I was up 30, which I am perfectly happy with. I only got to 39 weeks last time and gained 34, so even if I jump up to a 34 pound weight gain before he gets here, I still technically did better than last time. So weird how I was basically competing against myself this entire time...

Gender

Baby Boy!

Food Cravings/Aversions

Cereal, mainly Frosted Flakes. I randomly needed toast with lots and lots of butter the other day. Some mornings I have to have Cream of Wheat. But really, nothing too crazy. I guess I just don't really do the whole craving thing that intensely. 

Movements

Some days he's super duper active, some days he's a little quieter in there. Typically when I'm really busy I don't notice him moving as much and when I'm being lazy he's all over the place. He definitely feels huge - my belly is allllll baby at this point. 

Sleep

Not terrible, but definitely getting worse. My hips have started hurting some, and it's just getting really difficult to flip from side to side. I generally sleep pretty soundly until around five or six, and then I toss and turn quite a bit until Grayson is up for the day. 

Daddy's Thoughts

I think we are all on the same page around here. On Sunday I asked him if he was getting anxious and he said definitely, but probably not as much as I am. Which is accurate. We've both been really prepping Grayson the last week or so, talking about how the baby will be here to live with us soon, telling him how fun it will be to hold and kiss and snuggle with the baby, what a good big brother he'll be, and so on. I think everyone in this house is ready at this point! 

Fun Moments

We finally got the baby's name hung on his wall, and I bought a few more things to go on the shelves in his room, so we've basically finished the nursery up. Yesterday I got everything else packed and loaded in the car for when it's time to head to the hospital. Basically every single thing baby related is done. Most of what I've been doing is snuggling up with Grayson, trying to soak up every last minute of one on one time with him. I don't know if I'm feeling extra emotional because he's not going to be my one and only soon, or if he's just become extremely adorable and sweet lately, but I have seriously just been enjoying every little thing about him the past couple of weeks. 

Looking Forward To... 

Going into labor! I can't say I'm totally looking forward to the actual process of giving birth, but I am looking forward to going after my VBAC. I really, really hope everything turns out the way I want it to, but I know if I do for some reason end up needed a repeat c-section that I trust my doctor 100% and will know I really truly needed to go that route. But in my mind, I am going to absolutely accomplish what I'm setting out to do. I really, really, really cannot WAIT to meet this crazy little fella that has been dancing around in my tummy for months. So ready to dive back in to newborn life!!!

38 Weeks with Baby #2

OH, we are so very close now. I'm actually 39 weeks today, so I'm behind on the updates once again. I was induced with Grayson at 38 weeks 6 days, and I had him at 39 weeks exactly, so by tomorrow I will officially be the most pregnant that I have ever been. I'm still feeling way better than I did the first time around, so hopefully that will continue on throughout the remainder of the pregnancy! Although, I'm really hoping that the remainder of the pregnancy is not too long...mama is ready! 

Due Date

October 17th! 

This Week Baby A...

is just getting bigger and bigger. According to Baby Center he's around 6.8 pounds and over 19 1/2 inches long. My doc doesn't do late sonograms, so we literally have no idea if he's measuring big or small...we haven't seen him since around 20 weeks! He apparently has a firm grasp and his organs have matured and are all ready for life on the outside. So come on out little man!

Symptoms

Definitely feeling a little more pregnant these days. I've started swelling, hips are a little sore, back hurts sometimes. The main thing that's been bugging me is the fact that he has dropped, and his head is pushing down HARD. And often. And it huuuurts. I also was quite convinced I was having contractions last week, but turned out to be a bit of false labor. I had a massage about a week and a half ago and the lady did accupressure or whatever it's called the entire time and basically almost killed me. That's when he dropped, and I was in intense pain for the next few days. It's been better the past few days, but there are certainly still moments when it feels like he's trying to break out of there! 

Weight Gain

At the appointment Wednesday I was up 29 - still better than last time! I was up 33 at 38 weeks last time, and gained 34 total. I'm hoping I can hover around 30 total this time, that would be fab. But I have been eating so horribly the past week or so, I may blow past that if he stays in there too much longer. 

Gender

Sweet Little Baby Boy

Food Cravings/Aversions

Tonight we went out for my birthday dinner and I decided pizza was what I had to have - I would say pizza is probably the number one food craving I get, I usually have it about once a week. Other than that it's all sweets. All sugar, all the time please!!!

Movements

He is still nutso. He's moving less frequently, but OMG when he does move he is caraaaazzy! He feels so huge. And he is seriously constantly head butting me in the cervix, which isn't the most pleasant thing ever. I still think it's amazing and wonderful and exciting every time he moves, but sometimes I'm like daaaang kid, take it down a notch! 

Sleep

Pretty good, I must say. I wake up around midnight and again around 3 - 3:30 to pee almost every night, and then after the second wake up I'm up for a little while, usually browsing around on Facebook or Instagram until I fall back asleep about 30 minutes later. Other than that, I sleep through the night :) 

Daddy's Thoughts

We've had a lot of "I can't wait for him to be here and to see how Grayson reacts" conversations over the last couple of weeks. It's so different this time, because we don't have as much of that fear of the unknown when it comes to what to do with an actual real, living baby, but more excited anticipation about becoming a family of four. He's been so insanely busy at work the last few months that I think he forgets I'm pregnant sometimes, but I can tell the reality is starting to set in for him. 

Fun Moments

Well, the main thing that has been driving me CRAZY for the last several months has finally been crossed off the to do list - baby boy has a name! I am so insanely relieved. Hubs is serious about not telling until his arrival, but I will say it's kind of funny because this baby will be named one of the names that I wanted so bad for Grayson and that A didn't like. This time around, he was obsessed with this name and I was kind of like, eh, I'm over it. It was my favorite boys name for years and years, and I had others this time that I wanted more. But we finally came to an agreement on it, and I think we both feel pretty good about it :) THANK THE LORD!

Looking Forward To... 

His arrival! This last part is so, so hard, just the anticipation of when is it going to happen? We are basically ready, aside from a few small things that I need to finish up, so I'm just ready for him to get here now. I believe I will let myself go until about 41 weeks before doing any type of induction, and at that point we would do stripping membranes versus inducing with pitocin or any real medical interventions. Soooo....he should be here in about two weeks, at the very latest. Fingers crossed he decides to come on his own before then, though. We are all so ready to welcome him into our little family! 

36 Weeks With Baby #2

One month baby!!! Give or take :) I'm really, really starting to hope he comes at least relatively close to his due date. I'm still feeling really good, but man am I tired! I need my energy back to deal with the crazy toddler in my house, and I don't think that's gonna happen until I pop this baby out. So if I could avoid going much past my due date that would be FAB. 

Due Date

October 17, 2015

This Week Baby A...

is over 6 pounds! Most of his systems are ready to go, although digestion doesn't technically start until his first meal on the outside. Most of his bones and cartilage are still soft to allow for an easier delivery. He's pretty much the real deal now, basically a full grown baby! 

Symptoms

Umm, I'm tired. So tired. I honestly have a hard time staying awake a lot of times during the day. Other than that not too much going on. This kid is crazy, so the movements can be uncomfortable from time to time. His head (I'm guessing) feels like it's right in my pelvis, so the pressure is kind of intense. But OMG when I compare to what I was dealing with last time, this is NOTHING. 

Weight Gain

I'm up 27 according to the doctor's scales, which I will happily take. At this point last time I was up 31, so I'm definitely doing better this time. But I think it was the swelling last time that made such a difference...you can really tell in the pics this week how much more swollen I was last time around! 

Gender

Little Man :)

Food Cravings/Aversions

I have been baking like crazy, so eating lots of sweet baked stuff. I'm getting full super easy these days, so not eating too terribly much at all. Drinking lots and lots of water, which is good. 

Movements

He's still insane. Like, this kid is so crazy I can't get over it. According to my update with G from 36 weeks he had calmed down a lot, but not this one. I'm seriously getting nervous about his energy levels when he arrives...should be interesting! 

Sleep

Sleep is still pretty good for the most part. I'm tossing and turning a little bit more, but I typically get a good three or four hour stretch in before I wake up to flip around and visit the bathroom. I'm a little more restless from that point on, but seriously, not too bad. 

Daddy's Thoughts

He's feeling anxious to find out about what he'll look like, what his personality will be like, and how Grayson will treat the baby. He's also excited to have two boys - this is basically a direct quote, I actually just asked him :) 

Fun Moments

Nothing too terribly exciting going on around here these days. We went to Oklahoma over the weekend for a quick day trip and got to see several family members. I did make my to-do list today, and it is loooong. I feel like we've got most everything done but I JUST realized how very wrong I am...so in two weeks there should be more activity in this "fun moments" paragraph. 

Looking Forward To... 

Umm, his arrival? I've been having super realistic dreams about him lately, and I just can't wait to hold him in my arms and kiss his little cheeks! I think because he feels so HUGE in my belly it's making him seem so "real". Can't wait until he's here! 

34 Weeks With Baby #2

Six weeks until my due date!!! Which means I should have a little bebe boy in my arms in the next two months, at the longest. I'm getting so excited to meet this guy, and I cannot wait until Grayson becomes a big brother. 

We got some not so great news at my appointment at 32 weeks. Baby boy was breech, which could really mess with my plans for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). My doctor didn't seem to be too concerned, and he will deliver a breech baby vaginally, which most doctors won't even attempt. He's kind of a rockstar OBGYN, which is why I'm driving almost an hour to see him and deliver with him. However, I really, really didn't want to complicate things, so I immediately started doing everything in my power to flip the baby. I started seeing a chiropractor three times a week, and also doing Spinning Babies stuff at home. I seriously spent two weeks doing everything I possibly could to get him head down, and at my 34 week appointment we found out it worked!! Somehow he flipped and is now head down! So we are (hopefully) good to go!!!

Due Date

October 17, 2015

This Week Baby A...

is almost 5 pounds! His fat layers are filling him out, which will help regulate his body temp when he makes his arrival. His central nervous system and lungs are continuing to develop, and if he were to make his arrival even this early he would most likely be good to go! He feeeels like a full grown baby in there these days, let me tell ya. 

Symptoms

Well, I made it until just about 34 weeks this go around before I started feeling super pregnant. I think I can officially say the pregnancy symptoms have kicked in - not that I'm complaining, it's been great so far! A few days this week I've had semi-swollen feet, some back pain, feeling tired for sure, and my joints are swelling, which means I officially had to quit wearing my wedding ring most days...booooo. 

Weight Gain

I kind of panicked because I weighed on my mom's scales one night and it showed that I was up 27 pounds, which was like a four to five pound gain in two weeks - but at my doctor's appointment it showed that I'm only up 24 total, so that was a relief! 

Gender

Sweet Baby Boy- at least I sure hope so! I've had a couple dreams that it ends up being a surprise girl, but if I remember correctly I had the same dreams with G. 

Food Cravings/Aversions

Still not craving anything, but I have been super hungry this past week, which is strange compared to the last time at this point. Mexican food has been sounding pretty good, which it hasn't up until this point, so things seem to be changing a bit. Hopefully the appetite dies down a little so I don't gain a ton this last 6-8 weeks! 

Movements

This kid is a mover. I figured out that the reason he was in my bladder constantly is because he was breech, so his feet were literally constantly kicking me in the bladder. Now that he's flipped head down it's not as terrible, but he's still super low and I occasionally get some serious head butts going on down there. But OMG there is so much activity going on in there, and he's so big now, I feel like he may actually break out of there before too long. He's crazy! 

Sleep

Still not terrible. I'm having a tiny bit of hip pain some nights, so I toss and turn more. But other than that it's not bad. I really only have to get up once to pee most nights, and I'm still falling asleep pretty easily. Can't complain! 

Daddy's Thoughts

We have a lot of talk going on about what this baby will look like, act like, etc. It's such a different experience doing it a second time around, because now we're just comparing everything to Grayson instead of having no idea what's going on. We have agreed we hope he sleeps better and cries MUCH less than G did, but hope that he's got his silly personality :)

Fun Moments

Not a whole lot of excitement lately. We're pretty much ready for him to make his arrival at this point, so there's not a lot of planning or shopping or anything too crazy fun. I did buy Grayson and the baby their first matching PJ pants, which is pretty freaking adorable if you ask me. I probably won't do much matching stuff, but PJs seem like something you almost have to do. 

Looking Forward To... 

Umm, my DUE DATE. I know there are no guarantees, and I know he will probably be late since I'm not going to be inducing or anything this time around, but still....I'm super ready for October 17th to be here! 

32 Weeks With Baby #2

Two months to go!!! It sounds so very far away, ESPECIALLY because it is approximately one billion degrees in Texas right now. I mean really, it is just the worst. The second I open the door to step foot outside I am immediately dripping in sweat. I have my air conditioner down so low that everyone else is constantly wrapped in blankets. Pregnancy and a Texas summer do not mix. Noted for baby #3 ;) 

Aside from the horrendous heat, things have been going great! Even though I am definitely feeling pregnant these days, I am still doing much better than I was my first time around. And even though I feel as good as one can expect during pregnancy, and I seriously do love it so much, I am super anxious for this little guy to get here. Fingers crossed he arrives on time and doesn't decide to hang out in there for an extra two weeks or anything crazy. 

Due Date

October 17, 2015

This Week Baby A...

is getting big! He's over 4 pounds and around 17 inches, and gaining about half a pound a week. He has toenails, fingernails and hair. And trust me, I can FEEL how big he is...like, all the time ;) 

Symptoms

The main issue I'm having is still the whole extra tired thing, which is progressively getting worse. I've had a little sciatica pain off and on, usually after I've been pretty active. Indigestion occasionally, especially after anything remotely spicy. And my stomach literally feels like it's stretching to the point it hurts sometimes, usually toward the end of the day. I would think it wouldn't hurt so much this time since it's already done this! 

Weight Gain

I believe 22 pounds, if my mom's scales are correct. I go to the doctor Friday so I'll know for sure. 

Gender

Little baby boy :)

Food Cravings/Aversions

Hmm. The main thing I've been having a problem with is SUGAR. I want it all the time, and have to remind myself that pumping myself full of the stuff day in and day out probably isn't great for the growing human inside of me. That's really about it. Actual food, couldn't really care less what I eat. 

Movements

This kid is nuts. There is almost constantly something hard sticking out, directly to the left of my belly button. It feels big, so I'm wondering if it's his little booty. I get jabs to the right side pretty frequently, which is where I always felt Grayson. And this one is RIGHT in my bladder. Like, inside it. I'm always gasping because I feel like he's either headbutting or jabbing me with a fist down there. I love all the movement, but it's way more intense than it was with G! 

Sleep

Still good to go in this area (thank you baby Jesus, please please please let it stay this way!)

Daddy's Thoughts

Umm. The only thing we are discussing these days is the fact that he will arrive incredibly soon, and that we cannot agree on a name. AT ALL. Poor, poor little unnamed baby. We seriously couldn't be further from agreeing on something. Other than that, not sure how he's feeling because the name is ALL I TALK ABOUT. 

Fun Moments

My baby sprinkle this past weekend! It was seriously so much fun, and I loved getting together with all my friends to celebrate this little man! Everyone was so sweet and I felt so spoiled, and I loved every minute of it. And since it will be my only shower, I went shopping the next day to finish up getting the last of what we needed. We're pretty much good to go! Now I've just got to get everything all organized and in it's place and we'll be ready to have this baby! (I mean, we need the name, too. That's kind of important)

Looking Forward To... 

Now all I'm thinking about is all the nesting I have to do. Nesting is seriously such a thing. I've been going nuts cleaning things out, organizing, re-organizing, turning my house upside down, and finding the perfect place for everything. I'm also excited because we decided to get a doula and we should be meeting with her in the next month or so to discuss my birth plan and all that it entails. And I mean, naming the kid....looking forward to that happening eventually (not that I'm obsessing or anything). 

30 Weeks With Baby #2

10 weeks to go!!! Maybe....I have a feeling this guy will be late. But somewhere in the vicinity of 10 weeks to go! I am getting super duper excited to meet him and for our family to officially become a family of four. Can't wait! These past two weeks have been pretty great. I'm still feeling good, not even all that pregnant aside from that massive belly I'm hauling around, and don't feel like I'm really held back from doing too much of the normal every day stuff I do. If every pregnancy were this awesome I would have like five more! (watch out, husband) 

Due Date
October 17, 2015

This Week Baby A...

is the size of a head of lettuce! He's over 15 inches long and around 3 pounds. His eyesight is continuing to develop, although it won't be that great even when he's born - babies eyesight at birth is somewhere around 20/400. Growing, growing, growing! 

Symptoms

Aside from being a little tired, nothing too crazy. On the days that I'm super active, the next morning I'm pretty tired and my feet are sore. I'm a little crampy here and there, occasional indigestion if I eat spicy stuff or eat too much too fast, but really...that's about it! 

Weight Gain

According to the doctor's scales on Monday just about 18 pounds, which is crazy. I was up 23 pounds at this point last time, so I almost can't believe it. That also means I haven't gained anything in two weeks, which seems strange. Maybe the scales were off? I mean, I'll go with it just to make myself feel good....

Gender

Baby Boy :)

Food Cravings/Aversions

The only thing I've just HAD to have lately is the cook and serve chocolate pudding from a box that I eat super hot as soon as it's done cooking. Other than that I kind of just eat whatever everyone else happens to want. No big cravings at all. 

Movements

I guess because I don't have an anterior placenta this time the movements are SO much stronger than with Grayson. I'm starting to feel big things popping out, like what I'm assuming is a knee or elbow or maybe a little booty. It's almost painful sometimes it's so intense! But seriously, a baby moving around inside of you has to be the coolest thing to experience, ever. Even when it's uncomfortable it's amazing. 

Sleep

Still good on the sleep front. I've had just a little bit more trouble relaxing when I first lay down some nights, and some nights I wake up in the middle of the night with indigestion that keeps me up for a bit, but I'm still comfy for the most part and sleeping well - although it is getting harder to flip over! 

Daddy's Thoughts

He said "I mean, it's been hard, but..." when I asked him just now what his thoughts on this pregnancy were. Always the jokester. I think the only thing either of us has been focusing on lately is choosing the name. It's a constant, CONSTANT battle around here. He definitively shot down my number one choice last week, I almost had a mental breakdown over it, and now somehow we've arrived at TWO NAMES that we both like. I love one, he loves the other. Of course. So who knows how we'll decide. Prayers are appreciated. 

Fun Moments

Grayson and I went to the doc on Thursday and got to hear the heartbeat and I was told that everything is going perfectly, which is amazing to hear. We went to Oklahoma over the weekend to visit my friend Katie who just had her first baby last Thursday, sweet little Lincoln. Talk about major baby fever! Good thing I'm already knocked up! We also spent some time with family, which was fun. It will be our last trip until after the baby's born, so it was nice to get away for a bit! I've also started buying a few things for the little guy here and there, although not too much so far :) 

Looking Forward To... 

My sprinkle in a little over a week! Can't wait to celebrate this little unnamed baby ;) Also looking forward to doing a hospital tour (if I ever remember to schedule it). And really, just can't WAIT until October so I can finally meet this guy!!!

Excuse the Cars underwear, we're potty training over here ;)
