30 down, 10 more to go

{30 weeks}


Baby girl's a growin that's for sure. She just keeps on getting bigger and more ready to come out each week. I on the other hand, am not at all ready for her. I finally sat down and wrote quite the lengthy "to do" list. It's funny how by this time with Beck, I had everything done- nursery complete, clothes all washed and put away, etc. I did, however, get two items crossed off the list yesterday, and my mom's coming to paint this week. Then we tackle the biggest project of all--transitioning Beck to his big boy bed--that's what I'm most nervous about. Just tell me it's all in my head and he'll do great ok?


Physically, this pregnancy is so different, as I've heard they all are. I was less sick early on which was great, but now I've been experiencing some of the not so fun side effects of pregnancy: sore hips and back, vericose veins (they better go away!), a little heartburn, and braxton hicks contractions that have started much earlier this time around. Regardless, I feel great. I've been able to keep up relatively the same work-out routine and have even been running/jogging/trotting still. I've been a lot more mindful of my eating this time around and it has definitely paid off-- I'm on track to gain about half what I did with Beck!

Beck talks about baby sister all the time and always wants to give her kisses. He keeps telling me he wants her to come out, to which now he immediately follows up with a "she's still growin" on his own. I hope his excitement stays once she really does come out :)


One final thing to note- my little sister and one of my best friends are pregnant too and both due (on the same day!) in July! Fun huh?!

I can't believe you are going to have a baby girl pretty soon! And I do love that we are pregnant at the same time again.

So Cute! Beck will do great because you (like I) are routine oriented and a sleep nazi...that helps!

Congrats, You look so great! I hope you are feeling good, almost there. And yes each pregnancy gets to be harder on your body, I got varicose veins too but luckily they went away. I love reading your blog, miss you. Good Luck!!
