So we are down to 7 weeks or less until baby #2 is due! I've been off work for a couple weeks and it has been fabulous spending time with M. Pregnancy makes it a lot harder to play with him but I'm keeping up with this active toddler of mine.
Here's the last month or so of bump pics.
Lauren (39 wks) and I (30 wks)
I know I'm such a dork making these collages. I have more time on my hands these days.
Weight gained- 21 lbs.
Feeling- I have lots more energy since I've been off work which is great. But being home with a toddler while pregnant isn't always easy. By the end of the day my lower back hurts and I feel physically drained but I don't mind that feeling. I've also had restless leg syndrome that keeps me from going to sleep some nights. I started having Braxton hicks contractions at 22 weeks with this pregnancy and they haven't stopped. The more active I am and if I don't drink enough water, the more frequent they are. This past week I started having real contractions. The first day it happened, I called the nurse and she thought it was dehydration. Since then its happened several more times. So I wonder if he willl come early.
Craving- vanilla ice cream (I've had a bowl almost every night hence the 11 lbs gained in 6 weeks!) golden Oreos, pizza, chipotle, salads, pasta, chocolate chip cookies
Baby- I've had several doctors appointments and everything looks great! Baby is measuring right on track! At this point the baby weighs about 5 lbs and is about 17 inches long. He has hiccups pretty frequently and moves around a lot when I'm sitting still, hungry, or after I eat. We've decided on a name- Luke Thomas Stan! My Papaw's birthday is August 9th and my due date is August 11th. I really hope he comes on August 9th! I was so close to my papaw and his name was Thomas Robert McHugh. My Mimi's maiden last name was Thomas. Also my Dad's name is Robert Thomas McHugh. So Thomas covers lots of people!
Nursery- I've decided on a vintage airplane theme. I found these sheets on the restoration hardware website and ordered them right away because they were on sale!
We are going to use this painting that is Rob's Dads.
His Dad was in the Air Force and we found some of his old stuff that should go in the nursery too. We also found the crib and dresser/ changing table from pottery barn kids outlet a couple weeks ago. They had dark wood so we went with that this time. So now we just have to empty the guest bedroom, paint (not sure on the color yet), etc. Lots to do and Rob has to do most of it with me being preggo.
One more pic to add- 8 months preggo and a bridesmaid!
I can't believe I will have another baby to hold so soon! It really hasn't hit me yet.
