34 weeks and counting...

I'm carrying a baby ball. No other way to say it.

Weight gain 30lbs.

The same weight I gained with my first pregnancy.

A few more pounds are likely so why does everyone think this baby will be so big?

I disagree and will be the one to tell you so when he is born.

Veggies and sweets. If only they cancelled each other out.

I'm still making it to the gym pretty regular when we are not sick. 

Weight of a cantaloupe... and the same shape.

Most of the clothes are washed and ready.

Need to get the bassinet cleaned off and in our room next month.

All pre-registtered at the hospital.

Rigel just suggested a name for this baby that was in my top 3!

I'll keep you guessing, but it is really cool that he likes that name and I'm positive he didn't hear me say it either. I have a new name in the mix too. Just came to me last week.

This baby's name is going to be as much a surprise to us as to you.

My boy is 4 today!!!!

What a great day for a party!

We planned a park play day.

There was a fire drill at the building nearby which worked to our advantage.

Boyd asked the fire fighters if the kids could see the truck.

They got to climb inside and Rigel got to turn the lights on!

He's all boy! He had a blast with his friends.

Thanks so much for helping our boy celebrate 4!!!!!

The beauty of baby belly 3!

I'm in love with them

Which is your favorite?

32 weeks on the sunny side

8 more big weeks to go!

I got a facial this week and have a mani-pedi planned for next week.

Hopefully a massage the week after that.

You have had a lot of hiccups lately. Despite what people think and say about my growing belly, the midwife says you measure perfect and will likely weigh in the 7lb range.

You are sunny side up. Please turn over soon. Back labor is not my favorite. I did it with your older brother and would rather not labor like that with you.

We still need to register at the hospital and have our stuff ready for your arrival.

I think May will be a busy month preparing to meet you and bring you home.

We had our first ER visit with Rigel.

He fell and his tooth went through his lip- ouch!

He was fine and didn't need any intervention.

Sweet baby boy, you are starting to make my back very uncomfortable.

I am now seeing a chiropractor weekly and

want a massage... NEED a massage.

The temperatures keep changing around here. It's difficult to have all the needed maternity clothes to keep up with this. Ice Cream has been so delicious when it is hot. Not good for my weight gain.

We still need to decide your name too.

I read you will have a big growth spurt soon. I hope my back will hold out during that.

I'm not holding your sister that much anymore. She's not happy about that.

Your brother LOVES to feel you move in my tummy!

I'm still doing pilates and walking. I want to swim more.

Getting very excited to meet you.

You have my permission to come out in 6 weeks if you really want to!
