Update With Baby T #3

How far along? 34 weeks *cough* why does this pregnancy seem to be speeding up?!
33 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yes, yes, and yes. I have now been privy to some not so sweet comments from others. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I want to hear how huge I am! Thank you for your lovely comments friends and family. I prefer the "you're glowing," and I will always remember, "you don't slow down while you're pregnant, you are just gorgeous." 

Stretch Marks? Only the oldies, Baby Boy please continue to be so good to me! 
 
Miss Anything? Not having heartburn after every meal. My own body, without an alien inside of it. 

Movement: Every hour. At night this kid is a psycho, it would be fun to actually see exactly what is going on in there!

Food cravings: Anything that doesn't give me heartburn. Generally some type of dairy. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Braxton Hick's contractions do at times. 

Gender: Baby Boy

Labor Signs: Braxton Hick's contractions, and lots of lower pressure. I am curious if they will check to see if I am dilated next week at my 35 week appointment. I also had high blood pressure again last week :( so I had to in for a blood pressure check this week, but it was low again! 


Symptoms: spider veins, swelling, lower back pain

Belly Button in or out? In


Wedding rings on or off? On


Mood: pretty good most days. I am not complaining about the cooler summer we've had so far!


34 weeks
Looking forward to: finishing my maternity leave plans and getting the girls'

new "big girl" room finished and the baby's room done!

Coming up next...a recap of last week's camping adventures, just two moms and three kids!

Spring Break 2015


                                                       
Destination: Myrtle Beach, SC



Here are my girls, ready for our Myrtle Beach adventure!






Since we left over Easter weekend, the Easter Bunny did not forget our girls. 
Lots of goodies, a movie, a new cd for the ride, and life jackets for the water park! (Easter Bunny fail, Grace wanted to know why the baskets weren't hidden...mom fail!)


After a ten hour ride, we were ready for a break in West Virginia. 


On the road again! Our first drive through the mountains in Virginia! The girls loved going through the tunnels. 

 
Our hotel! The girls at the hotel water park area. There was a lazy river, a few different sized pools, and a ton of hot tubs! Grace loved the hot tubs and the lazy river, Faith really enjoyed playing in the kiddie wading pool, pictured here. 

Ice cream after our first trip to the amusement park was a hit!






Ripley's Aquarium! It was a great place to go on one of our rainy days. 







Faith, ready to go mini golfing!

After she would hit the ball, once, she would pick it up, drop it in the cup, and yell "hole in one!" 


Our little golfer, Grace LOVES mini golf!

Homeward bound! Another spring break adventure under our belts, we had a blast spending time together as a family and we learned a lot in our travels. Excited for our next family vacation :).
