30 WEEKS!!!!!!

I am beyond THRILLED to be titling this weeks "pregnancy post" as 30 WEEKS!!!!!!! Ya'll don't even know how ready I am to meet this sweet baby boy. And with only 10, possibly 8-10 weeks left, I'm getting more and more ready by the day! :)

30 Weeks!

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

How Far Along: 30 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said baby boy is currently the size of a head of cabbage. He is also weighing in around 3 pounds and is almost 16 inches long!

 

 Total Weight Gain/Loss: Last appointment said 9 lbs. I will know an accurate total after my appt on Friday.

Maternity Clothes: Almost everything is maternity except a few things. But my "few things" are starting to dwindle and FAST.

Gender: It's a BOY!!! Gunner Blake.

Movement: All he does is move! I keep telling Jordan I hope he's calmer when he comes out of there.

What I miss: Sleep and being able to bend over. Ha.

Cravings: My sweet tooth is getting worse.

Symptoms: Definitely starting to feel the braxton hicks contractions more and more. Also having pain in my right leg if I'm on my feet too much. And.... let the heartburn BEGIN! :(

Best Moment this week: Looking foward to my doctor's appointment on Friday to check in on our little man! We've also been looking at fabrics for baby boy's bedding. We plan to pick it out and buy it this weekend. A friend of the family is custom making his bedding for us. I'm SO excited to get this started. Once we get our fabric bought, we can start the painting process as well. So far we are thinking of using the colors orange and brown. Well, those will be the main colors. Maybe a few other mixed in. I should be able to update you all more on that next week. :)

 

And for a little extra fun this week... here is the comparison of my 2 pregnancies at 30 weeks.

I think I look fuller with Gunner but it's hard to tell since I'm bare-belly in the pic with Tuff.

Also, I had to flip the picture of me with Tuff since I was standing in the opposite direction...

We still haven't had too much going on. Our weekend was pretty low key again. We did take Tuff to the carnival in our hometown this weekend and had to leave a little disappointed because he was about 2 inches shy to ride anything!!! But, we did enjoy some really fattening fair food before we headed home. :) I have been working pretty hard on Tuff's birthday party details the past few days. I think I told ya'll we changed the theme last minute because Tuff just wasnt into Blue's Clue's much anymore. He still watches it here and there but it's nothing like it was a month or so ago. I love his new theme (Curious George) because there is so much more colors to work with. I have also been working on lots of DIY projects! Which makes things alot cheaper. I'm all about DIY if it means saving a little. I will be sending out his invitations sometime before the end of the week so I'll be sure and post it after they get mailed out. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise! :)

Here is a few shots of baby boy from a photo shoot we took with his monkey. I was trying to get a good one with the monkey for his invite.... This is how that turned out....

Haha. Needless to say, we didn't use a picture with the monkey. This is only 4 pictures but I took about 50 in a 5 minute span trying to get a good one. I finally ended up taking him outside and getting this one...

Which ended up pretty good. But I still decided to use a different one.

Sure do LOVE our sweet little bundle of sweetness!!! Speaking of our little sweetness, he is officially 23 MONTHS old today! :( We are exactly one month from having a 2 year old. I'm still amazed at how fast the time has gone by. I remember this day...

Like it was YESTERDAY, ya'll!!!!

I keep telling Jordan our baby boy is no longer a baby. Poor Jordan, he refuses to except that. And deep, deep down, I don't want to except it either. He will ALWAYS be our baby, even when he's grown. We love you so much Lucas Tuff!!!! And we are SO proud of you, every day! Mommy and Daddy have NO doubt you'll be the best big brother ever!!!! Here is a pic I took of our big boy last night!

Definitely not a baby anymore :(

Ok, so my friend Lana sent me a picture this morning that she found as she was going through her old photos. I COULD NOT believe how young my dad looked. I even had to take a double (maybe even triple) look at it just to make sure it was my dad and not some older boy I had been smitten over when I was young. Hahahaha. Jk. But just wait... you'll all see what I mean. Take a look for yourselves....

Then...

And here we are now...

Amazing what getting old does to you, huh dad? Hehe. I'll always love you!!! No matter how old you get. That's the best part, right?

HAPPY TUESDAY YA'LL!!!!!
