30 weeks!

My eyes are filled with tears while writing this.  I feel so 


blessed.  I am so happy for Carsen to have this little


brother to tag along side of him.  This little life inside of


me is going to be one tough little guy and is going to meet


the most amazing big brother.  I can hardly wait for day 


they meet....




9 weeks to go!!!








How far along? 30 weeks


Total Weight gain? 30 lbs


Maternity clothes? All the time, anything cool.  Got a new 


maternity swimming suit that is much more comfy to wear all


weekend long.


Stretch marks?  The old ones are just getting more beautiful :)


Sleep?  Nada.  Wake up about every 30 mins to turn side to side.


Best moment this week?  Feeling stronger kicks and watching


our little guy jiggle around.


Miss anything?  Running, biking, swimming, lifting, sweating it up 


in the gym.


Movement?  A lot of kicks to the left side of my belly.  


Food Cravings?  Ice, ice chips, melted ice chips, Mr. Icee


Anything make you queazy or sick?  Anything that would make 


my gastritis flare up.  Coffee/spicy food/fruit


Have you started to show yet?  Sure, everyone asks how many 


days instead of how many weeks. 


Gender:  We are so thrilled to picture another little boy in our


life!


Labor signs?  Braxton hicks that are uncomfortable at times.


Happy or Moody?  With all our life changes I feel like I am 


pretty happy.  Just wishing I felt better.


Looking forward to?  Sept 27th when I get to see him!!!!!

Summer

How do you know your Summer is starting to wear on you?
We had a rough night last night.  Matt woke me up after he had been sleeping walking from the toilet to the tub and fell inside of it.  I literally thought he went through the window.  Just minor abrasions and bruises.  A few hours later he woke me again because I was screaming out terrifying screams after some ghosts were chasing my family in my dreams.  On a Merri-go-round.  Enough said. We are fatigued and still laughing!  We are loving being away from home every weekend.  Between Lake Minnewaska and Lake Geneva, we manage to keep organized and our schedules pumping with fun!

We managed to either go to the pool or lake 7 days in a row and loved every bit of water molecule.  This baby bump of mine is growing faster than I thought.  So, I stick close to the water.

My family had a good time spending the 4th of July in a boat parade, time outside, awesome meals from my mom and relaxing.  Sure is a hot summer and enjoying every second at the lake! (sleep deprived and all!)

House boatin it!

My family made it back to Rainy Lakes!   If you ask me, it is the best form of camping there is.  Gorgeous views, clear water, 2 toddlers, 1 little boy, the dog, endless amounts of food, mosquitos, smores, wet suits, flip flops, hiking, snuggles and lots of giggles.  The best way to relax is in the middle of no where.  You can't get up to go pay the bills or make a phone call.  Just pure time spent with cousins and enjoying each others company.  I took the least amount of pictures but here are a few of my favorites from my camera.

Love Summer time with family!!
