30 weeks...but who's counting?

Wow, this pregnancy and time are flying by WAY too fast. Life really does get busier the older the kids get, and it is hard to find time to do things like, say, updating my blog!

I am 30 weeks along now with this little one, and feeling pretty good. She is very active, and I feel her most of the time in my upper left abdomen and lower right. She is also very low, and her head is already pushing on my bladder most of the time! A Dr visit yesterday did confirm that she is head down and low, thank you baby!! :) I heard the beautiful, strong, regular heartbeat again, low on my right abdomen, which is how she confirmed that yes, baby is head down. Everything is going well with the pregnancy, and I am enjoying the squirming, kicking, and rolling while it lasts, since we are pretty certain that this will be the last baby for us.

Little Girl Sucking her Thumb at 21 weeks

30 weeks

We got the crib set up in her room this past weekend, which definitely made reality set in that there really is a baby coming. Wyatt and Noah helped put the crib back together, and are both really excited to have a little sister soon. Noah loves to rub my belly, give her kisses and "hugs," and is keeping close tabs on how much longer until she is here. We have talked about the chance that 'she' could turn out to be a 'he', and he has said "I guess that would be alright, but I want a sister a little more." They will both be happy no matter what!

We also had a big month this month with Wyatt. He had his tonsils and adenoids out February 20th. It was stressful and emotional for me to let them take my little boy back for surgery, but he did great. He hopefully will be much healthier after his recovery. Wyatt has always been a snorer, but seemed to get a lot louder recently, and was having some episodes of sleep apnea (which is just scary!). He also had a terrible fall, getting pneumonia twice, croup, and multiple colds. His asthma and allergies have also gotten worse as the winter has gone on, and he is now on daily medication for both. So, with all those things considered, seeing an ENT was the next step, and he agreed that the tonsils and adenoids needed to come out. After the surgery, he said Wyatt's tonsils were huge, and his adenoids were blocking 80% of his nasal passages and blocking fluid from draining from his ears (so he had both of his ears drained too). When all the swelling has gone down, he should be able to breathe SO much better and we've noticed a difference already. Now that he is feeling a lot better, first day back at preschool tomorrow, I am really happy that we did it.

Besides keeping way too busy, we are all doing well. Here are some pictures to tide you over until I post again!!
