Maternity Pictures

Thanks to Matt I have some maternity pictures! He did fabulous!! Thank you honey!

Big Girl Bed

Something that I have not been in a hurry to do is to move Brooklynn out of her crib and into a twin bed. I knew that it was inevitable since Nolan will be needing the crib before too much longer. When we painted Brooklynn's room 2 weeks ago, we went ahead and moved the crib into the nursery/guestroom, so B has been sleeping in there. I got her bed painted and moved into her room. It was in there for a few days and B definitely noticed it and was excited. I never asked her to sleep in it - I had decided I was going to let it be her decision. So one night I was changing her to get ready for bed and started to walk her to Nolan's room to get in the crib and she asked if she could sleep in her "big girl bed" I was nervous but agreed. I told her she could not get up until it was morning. She agreed and crawled into bed. It was so crazy to tuck her into a real bed. I felt like I no longer had a baby but rather a little girl. She kissed me goodnight and I didn't hear from her again until she came into our room a730 the next morning. She has been going right down for her naps and sleeping great at night. I hope I'm not jinxing it by being so excited and proud, but I am. I hope she keeps it up!

Doesn't she looks so peaceful?!

30 weeks

I feel like I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. While this pregnancy has FLOWN by, lately I have been feeling like I just may be pregnant forever. With my pregnancy with Brooklynn, I was so nervous about becoming a mother, part of me wanted to be pregnant for forever. This time, however, I know what it takes (although I know having 2 will be much more challenging than 1) to be a mother and darn it, I'm just ready for my little man to be here! We had a 3d ultrasound last week and it was absolutely amazing! This place gets the best ultrasound images I have ever seen! It was so great to be able to put a face with the name (and all the movement) and it made that much more ready to meet him.

I had my 30 week check up today. I have rotated through all of the doctors in the practice and today was back with my doctor. It was great to see her - even though I don't really feel that I know her all that well. I really do like her though, and have even thought how much smoother my first pregnancy may have gone had she been my doctor from the beginning. Everything was good...bp, urine, heartbeat, belly measurement (31) and um...weight. UH I hate that part, but however, it is part of the process. We are still on schedule for a VBAC. We are just keeping our fingers crossed and saying little prayers that my body will go into labor on its own. She will not intervene until 41 weeks. Oh good Lord - I beg of you please let something happen well before then. I just can't even imagine being pregnant for that long! But, I do desperately want the VBAC and will do whatever it takes to get it. I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks. Here's what the belly looks like as of today:

Thanks to my sweet husband for taking my direction and snapping these for me. I have already prepared him to do my maternity photos this weekend. :)
