it's all in a matter of weeks....

Two weeks until Halloween.

Four weeks until my baby turns 4!!

{seriously, where did the last 4 years go?!?!}

Four weeks until I pre-register for my c-section.

Five & a half weeks until Thanksgiving.

Six weeks until Carson's birthday!!

Eight weeks until Carson's newborn photo shoot!!

{oh yes, I already have that scheduled!}

Ten weeks until Christmas!!

Everything that seemed sooo far away is going to be here before I know it!!

Dear Chex Mix:

Carson & I would like to thank you for this....

Seriously, thank you!! Yes, I could make it myself but it is so much easier since you already did it for me....it could use a little more powdered sugar though!

pick your battles

As a parent you are always told to pick your battles with your kids, some things just aren't worth fighting over. For example, something like this:

 

Not worth the battle! If you want to look like an 80 year old man and wear shorts with tall grey& red socks pulled all.the.way. up, then so be it!! 

{side note: please pay no attention to my nasty kitchen floor, I promise it is clean, it just never looks like it!}

bump watch

 Sorry for the repeat picture....forgot to take one when I got home from my appointment today and I have since taken a nap and well, not really in the mood to take another one! Pretty much look exactly the same though!

How far along: 31 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: 29 pounds....

Maternity clothes: Oh YES!! In fact I've already had to put some away because they don't fit anymore!

Gender: BOY!! Carson Charles

Movement: all.the.time! I swear this kid never sleeps!

Sleep: Oh how I miss it! I have noticed though that I sleep much better when I have the bed to myself...

What I miss: walking up & down the stairs without having to catch my breathe afterwards....being able to paint my toenails =/

Symptoms: heartburn {still}, lots of lower back pain, and a weird one, whenever I've been standing for long periods of time my shins start hurting, guess from the extra 29 pounds I'm carrying!

Cravings: nothing in particular lately, pretty much anything & everything!

Best moment(s) this week month: getting the all clear from the specialist at St. Mary's about his kidneys, HOWEVER, that also means I won't be getting anymore ultrasounds done! I asked today if they would and the dr. said no....oh well, at least he is healthy!
