30 weeks

I feel bad that I haven't really documented this pregnancy at all!  We kind of delayed posting anything in the beginning just to make sure all was okay and this 30 weeks has literally flown by!!  Also, it's amazing how much time a little 13 month old will take out of your day :). I don't think we have even taken one belly picture or anything. We got the crib set up and most of the nursery essentials complete.  We still need to decorate and do little stuff like that but at least we are ready for him when he gets here.

I love how my friend Erika documented the pregnancy week by week.  I am a little late to the game but better late than never right??

How far along? 30 Weeks

How big is he his week? Head of Cabbage

 

Best Moment of the Week?  Trip to Amarillo.  Brent and I both cover Amarillo for work and it is always fun to see the family!  We try to take Luke whenever possible so he can get some quality time with the family.  This could be one of our last trips there before #2 arrives so I am so glad we got a chance to go.

 

Trouble Sleeping? YES!  My anxitety really kicks in at night so it has been tough lately!

 

 

Miss Anything? Sleep and wine

 

Movement? Constantly! This is always the best part of pregnancy!!  I just love being able to feel our sweet boy move :). 

 

Food Cravings? Nothing at the moment.  I really haven't had any this pregnancy.  I literally kept Fruit by the Foot in business with my last pregnancy.  I had the Costco size box in my car at all times.  Such a random craving!  I still can't eat fish at all.  The thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.

 

 

Belly Button - In or Out? In, but little parts of it will pop out after a big meal.

 

Symptoms? I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy as far as this goes.  I have felt pretty great since day one.  The only thing I have struggled with is sciatic pain.  This has been off and on the entire pregnancy but when it hits it is some of the worst pain ever! 

 

 

Wedding Ring - Off or on? On

 

Happy or Moody? Happy but anxious.  I have been so much less emotional this pregnancy...which I am sure Brent appreciates :).  Maybe because I know more of what to expect this time around.

 

Looking Forward to?  Our sonogram on Friday.  It literally can't come quick enough!!!!  I have been counting down the days!  I hope he has really plumped up since our last one.  This would greatly help with my anxiety!

Here are a few random pictures!! 

 

Here is Luke helping us open the envelope to reveal the gender :). So fun to look back on this! He is going to be so excited when his little brother arrives!!

I feel like every kid needs a piggy bank. Never too early to start saving and how fun one day to be able to break it open and have a pile of cash. Hopefully he will break it open buy something fun for himself and put the rest in a savings account...but that may be wishful thinking on my part :). I found these super cute banks on ETSY. They customize it with the name and any colors you want. We are going to get one for number 2 as well once we can pick out a name. 

 

Summer fun!

Here are a few pictures from Amarillo!  Luke had such a great time with everyone! 

13 months old and soon to be BIG BROTHER!!!!!

Our sweet boy is 13 months old!  He is getting so big!!  He is still our little eater!!  We have always known this kid could eat but I guess we eventually thought it would slow down.  We just thought he was playing catch up because he was so small but I think he just LOVES his food.  When he wakes up in the morning it is the first thing we have to do!  If we walk past his highchair and don't immediately put him in it a melt down occurs!!  I think most meals he can eat more than me :). 

Just enjoying some grub!!

He is learning that when we get the suitcase out it means we have to leave.  This was his way of preventing me from packing.

Enjoying the pool with sweet Hallie!!

 

Erika and Trey's sweet boy Liam was born June 6th!!  He is absolutely adorable and Luke is super excited about his new buddy!!!!  I just love this sweet boy!!

 

Luke is also so incredibly excited that he will be a big brother in September!!!  We are expecting another sweet baby boy!!  We couldn't be MORE EXCITED!!!

 

With pregnancy always comes stress.  You always want everything to go as perfect as possible.  This has been the easiest pregnancy as far as symptoms go and how I have felt!  I have felt wonderful pretty much the entire time but it definitely hasn't been without it's stresses.  We found out at 12 weeks that my placenta wasn't functioning like it should.  Often times this is nothing is everything turns out great.  If there are issues, they tend to pop up in the 3rd trimester. We found out at our last appointment he isn't growing like he should be and actually had a huge decrease in growth.  We are staying positive and just hope and pray this sweet boy can stay in and brew as long as possible!  We will find out more of how he is growing in 2 weeks.  We just hit the 3rd trimester so if they have to deliver early chances are that all will be good!!  We have such a wonderful team of doctors that are monitoring everything so we know we are in great hands!!  Now we just really need to get everything ready for his arrival and pick a name :).  We are looking forward to being a family of four!!!
