Squished.

Baby boy is a little cramped in his living quarters.
He lets me know how he feels about it pretty much all day, every day
and this baby is a strong one. Definitely different than Kenzie was.

We had a sono yesterday cause the doctor wanted to check on his size.
I was measuring about a week behind, and she just wanted to be certain he was growing and doing well.
I welcomed the opportunity to get to see him again :)

Here's baby and you see his little smooshed nose...
poor thing. Sorry baby.

And there's no doubt about it, this baby is definitely a boy...

At my last appointment I was measuring a week behind (the appointment before that I was further than a week behind), but at this appointment I was right on target. 
But baby boy, not so much.  He's not small, though.  He's big and measuring a few weeks ahead.
The estimate the sonographer had for us was 6lbs 11 oz.
Healthy big baby boy :) 

Just about 35 weeks.

After brunch @ my favorite place, Grand Luxe.
An early birthday celebration for me with my parents, sister & her hubby. (and of course my hubby and daughter).

Weekend Pictures.

My camera was in my hand all weekend.
And I loved it.

Engagement session with some friends
They rocked their session & made it super easy for me.
So beautiful... inside and out.

My sweet girl reading to 'her kids'

And my sister's mother in law threw a 70th Anniversary party for her parents

& asked if I could come photograph the happenings.

She put together some meaningful and beautiful table decorations

using their special mementos.

The letter in the typewriter is one that her Dad actually wrote to her mom.

It reads: "To my dearest darling..."  swoon.

Toasting.

Renewing vows. So sweet.

Doves awaiting their release.

It was such a fun, busy weekend.

As of yesterday, I'm 34 weeks!!

Only 6 more weeks till baby's due date.

Wow oh wow.

So I'm super busy this week trying to get so much done,

cause the days are just FLYING by.

Before the Shower.

Kenzie and I before my baby shower.

My sister and I.

Just me & the baby belly

before the shower this past Saturday @ 32 weeks 5 days

30 Weeks.

The weeks are just flying by.
Feeling overwhelmed by our to do list.
Maybe it'll magically all come together in the just 10 short weeks till my due date.

29 weeks.

    ( 24 weeks. Jacksonville Beach, FL)

Today is week 29 of my 2nd pregnancy.

I think I say it almost every day... it's flying by too too fast.

I'm really enjoying being pregnant this time around, sure I could have 

dealt without the horrible gag reflex, the 'morning' sickness, the heartburn

the aches... the texas heat....  But outside of those things, I've really loved it. 

I love the baby bump.  And I love feeling him move around in there.

Maybe it's how long it took to get pregnant this time around that's making me cherish it more...

I had my glucose test a week ago and got the results on saturday... I passed! whoo hoo.

Keep passing me those chocolate chip cookies.

But, they did find that I'm anemic and I need to add in an iron supplement.  Easily done.

Names are difficult

but we've decided!

Hooray!

Photos of me by my husband.

With McKenzie I had her name ready to go for as soon as the sono tech said it was a girl.

(I had absolutely no boy name options, so I got lucky when they said girl :)  )

I think boy names are just more difficult than girl names... at least for me.
