30 weeks

Hello again friends

Well, here we are, 30 weeks!

weeks 24 and 30

The month of September seems to have slipped right by when I wasn't looking. Fall is always a very busy time for me with my photography and so I am certain October and November are going to fly by just as fast, if not faster and before I know it, baby girl is going to be in my arms instead of my ribcage. That's scary... and exciting!

Pregnancy is going well overall. It's definitely not quite as rosy as it was in my second trimester... lots of back pain, swelling and not much sleeping without the help of Tylenol PM. I've been quite whiney in the past few weeks actually... sorry if you are a friend or family member who's had to listen to it :)

I am so happy that this baby is growing healthy and strong. She should be around 3lbs now and just packing on the weight day by day. She is still VERY active. It's really fun to sit and watch my belly while she is doing her gymnastics in there. Jon gets a kick out of it too... I love to watch his face when he is watching my belly or when he is poking her and waiting for her to kick back. His eyes get real big and he just smiles. This little girl has him right where she wants him.

Overall, life is good. My family has received some huge blessings recently and I feel so grateful and so happy with my life right now. Ollie has been SUCH a good boy, he's so sweet and charming and adorable. I have been sick the past few days and he has been nothing but patient as Mommy was a total bump on a log. Oh I love him. Don't know what else I could possibly ask for. All is well.

Ollie wanted a bump picture too... Here is his sweet little bump at 22 months. :)

Boys will be boys

Have you taken your kids to your local fire station? If not, you should.
My good friend, Elise, told me you could take your kids over there just about any time for a little tour, so we finally did it. What a fun thing to do! The boys were indeed in little boy heaven with all the trucks and lights and gear. The firemen were so great and I'm pretty sure they were excited to have some cute little kiddos to play with for a bit.

Anyway, put this on your list of fun things to do this summer.






What a little stud.
