35 Weeks + Getting Closer

 It's May 18th which means that within a month our family will look entirely different with our newest addition! I can't hardly wait for the newborn snuggles and the excitement of welcoming our sweet baby home. 

I officially hit 35 weeks in my pregnancy this week. We celebrated Mother's Day over the weekend and took our parents to "This Little Piggy" in Altoona to get some updated photos of our sweet boy. I'm currently measuring about 3 weeks ahead with a strong likelihood of high fluid, just like my pregnancy with Sammy. The tech guessed that he was weighing about 5lb 11 oz. He already has big cheeks and lots of hair and eyelashes! I can't wait to hold him in my arms. 



Look at those big cheeks! 

At my 36 week appointment we will have a growth ultrasound done just to make sure that everything checks out OK, and to see if the date of my c-section needs to be changed. With being high fluid I run the risk of my waters rupturing early and increased contractions. I've been having plenty of contractions during the day - but nothing time-able or with a pattern. I guess we'll see whenever he wants to make his debut. :) 

At night when I put Sammy to bed I always sing him a song and it makes the baby dance like crazy in my belly. Sammy has named the baby "Diddums." Last night he told me that we needed to sing the song to Diddums, and then he told me all of the things he is excited to do with Diddums over the summer. He has big plans for his little brother. :) He says that they are going to go swimming, go to a baseball game and eat hot dogs. Then he said, "Wait, mommy! We have to get Diddums a fishing pole and a fishing backpack so we can go fishing this summer!" We've talked about how when the baby comes he'll spend a lot of time sleeping and eating, but Sammy is determined to make the most of the summer with his new brother. I can't wait to see their little bond grow! I pray everyday that they will be there for each other for happy and sad times, and that they will grow into good friends. 


We will see you soon, sweet boy.

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
