30 Weeks

Wow!  Counting down the weeks until we are a family of FIVE ...


Went to the doctor last week and got to do a sonogram to see the sweet little baby -- he/she is laying sideways right now with head on my left side, back facing down, and feet on my right side.  Needless to say, I feel A LOT of kicking on my right side all day long.  Matt and both boys have been able to feel the kicking too - so fun!  We are hoping that baby will shift into a head down position in the next three weeks --- otherwise Dr. Read will help him/her re-position ... doesn't sound fun.

Based on the measurements from the sonographer, Baby weighs 2 lbs, 12 oz. and looks healthy and happy :)

Reese and Cole are still full of questions --- The other day, Cole wanted to know if Reese was going to be big like Mommy and Daddy when the baby "pops out".  He's having a really hard time grasping how soon baby will be here.  And Reese recently learned that the baby in mommy's tummy is naked - this was extremely funny to both of them.  They just don't understand why the baby doesn't have any clothes on!

Here is a picture from our appointment - not the greatest because of the way baby is laying --- hopefully we'll get better pics next time!  If you look closely, you can make out the forehead (it's the big black blotch), then you can see the eyes, nose and lips.  (all just to the left of where it says "face").


We made one new addition to the nursery - a chandelier.  Still on the to-do list ... curtains, rug, baskets for the shelves.
