31 Weeks

9 Weeks to go:
9 weeks to go. We had another first yesterday! I was working for my Aunt Sandy and she had just fed me a yummy ham sandwich and...Baby Jr. had his first hiccups! They lasted for about 2 minutes, I am very excited that I was able to feel some hiccups, but I would not be disappointed if they never came again ;)

I have an ultrasound on Monday the 17th to check and make sure that I don't have placenta previa, which means that my placenta covers my cervix. We hope that I don't have this because the worst case scenario would be bed rest until baby comes (which is nothing like the bed rest my sister in law had to go through, she was a super trooper) and the best case scenario with placenta previa is just a c-section. They noticed that I had this at 19 weeks and the Doctor's expectation was that it would move up and away from the cervix the further along I got in my pregnancy. I will let you know at 32 weeks what the results are regarding the placenta previa!

30 Weeks

Uhhh Ohhh:

Now I know why most pregnant women wish their last ten weeks away. At 30 Weeks, which was last Wednesday the 5th, all of the aches and pains started, EVERYWHERE! My feet are so achy and sore with the extra weight, my sciatic nerve has been bothering me and my ligaments at the lower part of my stomach started hurting because of the growing belly. Last week one night, I got into bed and the position that this little man was in was causing the worst pressure on my back...I was able to move myself in a position to change his gravity so, he moved out quickly, but that was insane. AND yesterday, I literally feel like my right ribs are broken. It hurts to sit up, lay down, laugh, move in certain positions...I am expecting that this won't last very long, I hope! I thought that this rib pain was his feet stuck up under my ribs, but it has been constant and I am pretty sure if it was his foot it would be periodic pain. HOWEVER, with all of that said...I still don't want to wish my last ten weeks away. I still feel like my pregnancy is flying by and going too fast.

Listen people, I only have ten weeks left!!! I can't believe it!

29 Weeks

Goin' out on a limb here...So, it's a little embarrassing to show this picture, but this is how I cooled down with the really really hot week. I ran around the house in my bathing suit bottoms and a sports bra and sat in Dodge's kiddy pool when he wasn't using it. Or I kicked him out if he was using it. ;) I took the coldest showers I could stand and I stood in front of a fan to dry off! But this is 29 weeks and the only belly picture I got that week. I was too hot to do anything. But we survived!

Lake Ki

Whitney's 25th Birthday

and

Avery's 6 month birthday!

We went to Lake Ki with Casey's family to celebrate Whitney's 25th birthday! It was so much fun. That just happens to be Avery's half birthday. We can't believe that she is already six months. She is getting to such a fun stage where she is recognizing people and starting to laugh...it is wonderful. We had all three dogs there and everyone got to swim and float. What a beautiful day.

Stacy and Justin Thomason!

August 1st Wedding:

We had the pleasure of being in Justin and Stacy's wedding on August 1st. Unfortunately, three weeks before the wedding my dress did not fit, however, Casey's Aunt was able to fix it and make it look perfect! It was a beautiful wedding with very Hot weather. It was so much fun for Casey and I to be in a wedding together.

20 Weeks
So, I thought it would be interesting to put these pictures in order starting at 20 weeks all the way to 28 weeks. I can't believe how much I have grown in only eight weeks. Without complaining, I am really nervous for this hot streak of weather we are about to have. I am not really swelling, however, there is a noticeable difference between a hot day and a cold day in my feet and ankles. I am thinking that I will probably sit in Dodge's kiddie pool with him to cool off :) Bring on the fans and Popsicles baby because it's going to be HOT.
