30 weeks l Baby #2

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 30 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 22 lbs...and gaining ;)

Maternity Clothes: YEP! Finally bought a pair of maternity jeans....ahhh! I didn't have any with Charleigh.  Ok I take that back, I had some, but they were hand-me downs and would not stay up!  I thought I hated having something cover my tummy (like most maternity pants do), but these are life changing.  I may never go back to normal pants again!

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good still-but having to pee about 3-5 times.

Best Moment this week: Having Charleigh help the midwife measure my tummy and listen to the heartbeat.  It was seriously the cutest thing ever.  And having Char pat my tummy and whisper "Hi Baby Sisser"

Gender: GIRL!!!!

Movement: Rolls, kicks, spins. :) I love em all!

Food Cravings: Same ol, same ol....Fruit and cereal!  And ice cream :)

Food Aversions: Mexican food...still. Sorry Jonny! 

How's Mama? Doing good!  Getting a little anxious for my trip to Texas though! I leave next Saturday and stay for a week and a half!  SO very thankful that my mom is flying with me and Char!  Not so sure I would've ventured out if that hadn't been the case.  Excited to welcome baby sister Anderson into the world!  I'm hoping and praying that she doesn't come until her Auntie Jen Jen is there!!

What I am looking forward to: Seeing what Baby #2 looks like! And having Char meet her baby sister :)

How is Char doing:  The "terrible twos" have hit with a vengeance the past couple of weeks.  We are working out kinks here and there in our parenting...it really is a daily challenge!  We learn something new everyday.  Who knew I had even MORE patience stored up somewhere? Sheesh.  But I honestly love every minute with my baby girl, and she is so her own person, for sure! She is teaching me how to be a better mommy with every new obstacle she throws at me-and I am thankful for those (maybe not in the moment...but I get there eventually) ;)
