Wordless Wednesday!

Today, I was getting ready and it was really quiet. I went to see what kind of chaos Tyler was getting into. Turns out he was on the computer "working" as he put it. It was too funny!! He sees his Daddy working there all the time, so he had to work today too!

30 Weeks!

Holy cow! I can not believe I'm already 30 weeks. It's going so fast now! In less than 10 weeks Baby Ashton will be in our arms!! I can not wait!! As much as I LOVE being pregnant and I KNOW I will miss the moves and kicks (since this will be our last more than likely) I am so looking forward to meeting our baby.
I'm feeling pretty good! I passed my Glucose Test, but turns out I am very anemic. Guess this is part of the reason why I've been soo freakin' tired lately!! Anyways, no biggie! My OB started me on some iron pills that I am supposed to take on top of my prenatals....I would think 90 mg of iron a day will be enough to get my levels up!! We'll see. Anyways, she wants me to stay on the iron until 4-6 weeks after I deliver Ashton.
Anyways, here is my belly at 30 weeks!!



Here is what Baby Ashton is doing and how he's growing:
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

Tyler's End of the Year Performance!

I can not believe that is already the end of May. This means the end of preschool. Tyler really loves his class, his friends and his teachers. His school did an end of the year performance today where they sang songs, danced and just looked soo cute on stage. Tyler did good and seemed to have fun at first. He saw Chad and I and ended up getting so upset. It broke my heart to see him crying on stage. He cheered up as soon as he got a hug from his Mommy! He's such a little sweet heart!!!





My poor baby!!


After, I took Tyler out to The Shops at Legacy to walk around the little lake and get some ice cream! He was one happy camper....so was his Mommy! :)

Taking a picture at the fountain.

Hugs & Kisses!!!!

Tyler is really excited about his little brother coming soo soon!! He loves to give him hugs and kisses, tell him good night & good morning! It is so sweet! I'm so excited for him and us too!!

What we've been doing!!

I know, it seems like forever since I last posted!! We've just been so busy and I have not been lugging around my camera (big mistake!)
Anyways, here are a few pictures either I took (when I had my mini camera) or a friend took. We've been having soo much fun and are looking forward to a GREAT summer!!

Having fun on playdates with our friends!!

It's finally (almost) warm enough to get in the pool....well, for Tyler...not me! It's still WAY WAY too cold for me. It needs to warm up atleast 10 degrees! Tyler loves it though! Doesn't matter how cold it is, the kid loves the water. He is doing great swimming too (being that he has never taken a swimming class). I should probably look into a class though to ease my mind a little in the summer time.

My sweet Tyler

27 weeks!!

So, yesterday I had my prenatal check up and I got the date that Ashton will be delivered! I am so excited to have this date, finally! I have absolutely NO desire what so ever to go into labor. I know some people may think that is weird, but that's just me! I'm a HUGE planner! Everything needs to be planned out and ready to go....and now it is!! Anyways, Ashton will be here on July 27th around 12:00PM! That makes things just fall right into place for me. Now I know (hopefully he does not decide to come any earlier) when everything needs to be bought and completed!
I go back to do my next prenatal visit on May 20th when I get to do my Glucose Test and be tested for Gestational Diabetes. I can't wait to drink that OHHH so yummy orange drink. I remember drinking that with Tyler .... NOT good at all!


Here is how our baby is growing:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

Fun in the sun!

The weather has been perfect here!! Tyler and I decided after our lunch date today we'd come home and hang outside in our backyard and play in the water some. Tyler loves to water the plants, flowers, and vegetables. He is such a good little helper when it comes to that!
Enjoy!

Zrooom, Zrooom!

Time to relax for a minute or two
