30 Weeks!

We are 30 weeks along and have a date set to meet baby A!!  Our date is set for the first day of spring, March 20th!  I think it will be a perfect day to welcome our little spring baby into the family.  Unless she decides to come early...

The pregnancy is going well.  Still some hip issues, but if I don't over-do it, they seem to be fine.  Heartburn has become a daily occurrence.  This little girl better have some hair!  We are now going to two week appointments and Addie was even able to come to our last one.  She was so excited to hear baby A's heartbeat.  She asked our doctor if he would be able to take out her baby sister that day.  Today she asked us when March is coming because she wants her baby sister to be here!  She is so excited for her baby sister. 

We painted baby A's room last weekend and began to put together her crib and changing table.  Hard to believe how close we are getting!  I will post some pictures when the nursery is all done.  Thanks to Pinterest, I have lots of projects to accomplish!

Here is our 30 week belly pic...

 

New year...THIRD trimester!!

With the new year, came a new milestone with pregnancy 2!  We hit the third trimester last Sunday.  Hard to believe how fast the time is going.  We are very excited for March to get here!

I have been feeling good, other than my hips/lower back.  I have been seeing my chiropractor, which has been helping. I am starting to get increasingly tired, I go to bed around 9pm each night.  Thank goodness for my wonderful husband who puts Addie to bed each night so I can go to bed too!

 I had my glucose test at my last appointment and passed!  We are still waiting for a call to set up the c-section date, as the docs have not come out with the March schedule as of yet.  Looking forward to having an actual date to meet baby A!!  Our next appointment is this Friday and I think we start our 2 week appointments from there.  March should be here before we know it!

The new year...

We were excited to roll in 2013.  Hard to believe that last year went by so quickly.  2012 definitely had its ups and downs for our family, so a new start sounds like the perfect plan!  We are really settling into our new home and are VERY excited to be bringing home baby A in just a few short months.  Today we plan on starting on baby A's room!  Addie, Aunt Em, and I are going shopping for some fabric and things for a few other projects!

Last year I made a list of activities our family could do in 2012.  Due to all the craziness of the year, many of those were not accomplished.  My plan for 2013 is to continue with that list and add a few more things since we will be adding a new little one to our family.  My goal this weekend is to get through that list! 

This year we rolled in the new year pretty low-key.  We went and spent some time with my parents, had supper, and then came home to hang out as a family.  I did not make it to midnight (most nights I don't even see 10pm...) BUT, Addie and Dan did!  Dan told Addie that she could stay up with him and ever since she has been trying to convince us that she can stay up until midnight!  The only reason she made it was because she took a late nap, falling asleep with Grandpa on the couch!

hehe...classic mustache drawings!  That's what you get for falling asleep!  :)

 

Wishing our family and friends a very happy new year!  May 2013 be a great one!!

Addison's 3 year pics!

Okay, behind on these too!  They are just too good not to share.  Unfortunately we will be looking for another photographer though, as Nichole is going to stay home with her new baby.  It is going to be quite the adjustment, since she has been with us for 10 years, when she took my senior pictures.  Going to be hard to let go, but there is always going to be change and I should just get used to it!  So here is our last photo shoot with Nichole.  I am so grateful for all the wonderful photos she was able to capture from my senior pics, our engagement pics and wedding pics, to watching our family grow through her camera!  I will always cherish the photos on my wall!

So here they are...

Swimming!

We took a little trip to the pool this weekend.  It felt great to get the big ol' belly in the pool and Addie had a blast.  I think we will be taking more trips for some water fun!

Starting the new year off with and UPDATED blog!! Hurray for ME!!!  Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!  Looking forward to a fun-filled 2013!
