Baby #2: 30 weeks

Yikes...how did we get here this fast!?  I only really have 9 more weeks until baby boy arrives.  9!!!!  I am excited and nervous too. 

Right now the baby is the size of a cucumber...not sure how he can go from lettuce to a squash then to a cucumber...it seems smaller to me but who knows how they figure these fruit things out.  He's about 3lbs and 18 inches.  4-5 more lbs to grow in 9 weeks if he's around or close to the weight Lilly was at birth-although she was over a week late and he will be a week early soooo maybe he will be more of a peanut than she was.  We shall see! 

I am feeling pretty good.  Getting tired again and bed time is creeping up to 8:30.  All I want to do is cuddle on my couch most nights-even on the weekends that sounds most appealing. 

Funny thing about this pregnancy is that while with Lilly I stuck to the Bump to do list pretty tightly-it now makes me laugh.  Today I saw that one of the items was to "put lotion on my belly".  Thanks for the reminder but looks like I can check that one off my list.  Really?  Does that need to be there?  I don't recall it being so 'simple' last time around.  Maybe it's just the second time snarkiness in me. 

I had my 30 week check up this week and it was my last monthly.  In 2 weeks I go back and shortly after that I will go every week until May 8th.  It's crazy how time is flying by-but didn't I just say that?  Everything checked out well-I gained some weight-boo-and the heartbeat and growth all look good!

Here is the 30 week bump for your viewing pleasure-we were getting some much needed fresh air and enjoying this awesome weather-trying to get over the last few winter germs hanging around!:


The final countdown begins!
