We've also been doing a lot of visiting and seeing family and friends, which has been so wonderful. Two weeks ago we visited with John's aunt and uncle for the weekend to celebrate St. Patty's day. We went to a local bar, played pool and caught up on recent happenings. I traveled for work the week after and will be traveling again tomorrow for the week! Last work trip before baby arrives. The following weekend I went to visit our friend's Chip and Kristin's new baby boy, Landon. Such a cutie!! It was great to see them and spend time with their adorable kiddos. While I was visiting, hubs was busy painting at his sisters house and catching up with his family. This past weekend for Easter, my family came to visit on Friday and we had a few great meals and spent some quality time together. we had a mini photo shoot with my brother and hubs since both of them are graduating in May. Mom wanted some pictures of the boys together in their robes. I have some editing to do of the pictures, but here is a sneak peak of the picture they took with baby c. ;) Yes, I am wearing my husbands pants, don't judge me they are comfy!
I loved this past weekend- it was relaxing and just what we needed. We ate, worked on a 1000 piece puzzle, mom and I shopped, we tried out a new church and we relaxed. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter as well!
On Monday 3-25-13 we hit the 30 week mark! Colin can officially use all five of his senses. He is growing at such a rapid pace and will be ready to greet the world in just a few short weeks! We can't wait to meet our little guy. I am excited to start finalizing his nursery and getting all our nesting done. ;)
Cravings: Still having some cravings for frozen yogurt! Love the stuff. I've also been enjoying fruit and water- so thirsty.
Any foods you don’t want: Meat... surprised by this answer?
Symptoms? Back aches, heartburn, frequent potty breaks, thirst and shortness of breath. I'm definitely slowing down A LOT. I went to the gym with mom on Saturday and enjoyed the workout but it was MUCH harder to get through a 20 minute tredmill walk than I expected. Just a few months ago I was running 6 miles like it was nothing!!! I'm excited to get my energy back once Colin makes his debut. I'm also noticing that he gets the hiccups a lot. I feel them at least every other day- poor little guy takes after his mama in that department. I scarf down my meals and get hiccups all the time! ;)
Showing: Big old baby bump <3
Boy or Girl? snakes, snails and puppy dog tails- that's what little boys are made of.
Bought anything? On Saturday Mom and I bought a storage shelf and baskets for his toys and a lamp for his room from Ikea. I love the lamp!! I also bought closet organizers and a shelf for above his dresser last week with hubs. The furniture gets delivered this Thursday- can't wait to start seeing his nursery come together.
Shopping for anything? We need to get the curtain rods for his curtains and his crib mattress next. After the baby shower I'm sure we'll need to evaluate everything we have and what is left to buy and start knocking the essentials off the list.
The Dad to be? Adorable. I know he is getting more and more excited to meet his son. This past weekend he said "I think I'm nesting too!", which was super cute. Thanks for making me feel less crazy babe! <3
Most recent appointment? Two weeks ago I had a regular check up. Colin is head down and measuring right on time! My BP looked great and the results of my glucose test were normal. We have two week appointments moving forward until about 36 weeks when we start going weekly. Hard to believe we are getting so close to holding our sweet boy in our arms.
Next appointment? This Friday we have our next appointment. After our birthing class a few weeks ago, we have a few questions for our midwife that we are looking forward to asking. Time to wrap up some loose ends!
Below is another "30 week" picture taken this past Saturday at 30 weeks 5 days. I really wish Mondays weren't my days for the weekly picture- Mondays are tough!!! ;)
Have a great week! -Mama Cait
