Life Update: 31 Weeks |

Well, blogging has been as frequent as my trips to Starbucks lately. Unfortunately few & far between. But don’t worry I’ll come back to the land of the living eventually. I’m a big fan of having the baby outside of my body! LOL! I am definitely not a glowy pregnant goddess. I WANT this baby and I can’t wait for her to get here….it’s the baking in the oven part that I find the hardest. I’m trying to enjoy each moment, even the little ones, though it’s hard some days. I didn’t even think I would have any more kids, so I know what a blessing it is. All I can say is being almost 10 years older it’s a lot harder than it was with Connor. I’ve been having these weird dizzy spells and feeling like I’m going to pass out. It’s so strange and something I’ve never really experienced. It happens for no reason whatsoever. Of course I have been Googling why this is happening and all I can find is that “due to the rising hormones that cause your blood vessels to relax and widen. … Dizziness may be caused because your growing uterus puts pressure on blood vessels” Once it starts it usually remains during the pregnancy and goes away after baby. So, I’m looking forward to going places and not feeling like I’m going to pass out! Ha ha!

Anyway, other than that it’s been good! I have a baby shower coming up in a couple of weeks and I’d love recommendations on what you think is a “must have” item for baby.

We don’t have a lot of stuff set up yet, but Terence put together the crib in the living room to make sure we have all the parts. Now we have to take it apart to get it back in her bedroom. It’s this one from West Elm/Pottery Barn. I had a few people ask where it was from. We still need a mattress and I have her bedding and things like that.

Bedding

This is the room where we will move the nursery into right now, but we are seriously considering painting it. I love the color, just not sure it’s right for the future.

And for the changing table I found this one on Amazon here and I think switching out the knobs will make such a difference and update it. Someone did that in the reviews section of this changing table and it looked so much better. It’s also 1/3 of the cost of the one that matches the crib.

Here is a 28 week bumpdate:

I also had a 3D ultrasound at 24 weeks, which I think was a bit early….but here she is! So tiny! I don’t even remember being able to do this when I was pregnant with Connor. She was hard to see, her bum was in the air the entire time, so this is the best shot we got.

Here are some recent pics of Connor too! He’s going to be a great big bro. I don’t know if he really understands how much his life is going to change. The past nine years it’s been all about HIM! I never want him to feel like he’s not getting enough attention, those thoughts probably run through every Mom’s mind when they have another kid. I just always want to make sure he feels special and loved despite the age difference and different phases in life.

He loves to golf and recently got his own set of clubs with his birthday money 🙂

Of course we got our annual bluebonnet pics too! He’s such a handsome, sweet, sometimes annoying 9 year old. I couldn’t love him any more! It’s gotten a lot better since we took Fortnite away on school nights…lol!

I also got a new recliner that I love. We may leave it out in the living room or move to the nursery, not sure yet??? But I LOVE that it has a usb charger in it!
