32 Weeks

Well I'm heading into the home stretch and feeling great!! The nursery is almost done,  just a few more paintings for Troy and it will be complete!! I can't wait to meet my little Carter and use his new room!! I have been feeling wonderful, TONS and TONS of movement. It looks like I have a monster in my belly! I go to the doctor on Monday and hopefully we will find out how large this kiddo is. I pray he has slowed down a little and is right on target!! I want a Christmas baby, not a Thanksgiving baby!! I will update you soon!!

Carter's Baby Shower

My Beautiful hostesses!

Pappi and Grandma Lori hanging out with the kiddos after the shower.

Tracy is about 2 weeks behind me! This is the awesome lady who started it ALL!! She introduced Troy and I hoping to hook us up, well she did a good job!! She is also having a little boy!

This is my mom and other mother-in-law. We did this same pose at my shower with the twins so we had to do a repeat!

Cousin Meghan! If you need any Arbon makeup this is the lady to call!! Look at her beautiful skin!!

All of Troy's aunts, mom and grandmother.

The 4 pregnant sister-in-laws!! Everyone is doing great! We will have 3 baby boys and 1 baby girl, LOTS of babies!!

My poor little sick Tatum. 

Tanner and the pumpkins that grandma Lori brought him!

Thanks to everyone who came to the shower, you were all so generous!!

Out for a walk!

I have been walking a lot and the kids usually sit in the stroller or wagon. Here lately, we have been letting them get out for a while and walk with us. They have been having a BLAST!! They love to touch and say the name of everything. By the way, their vocabulary is exploding! They copy everything you and say. When you tell them what something is, they remember it even days later! Such a fun age!  I feel like I have been saying that since they were born! I love being a mommy!! I am blessed with the two most amazing kids in the world!

Holding hands with grandma.

The kid loves sticks and it is not appropriate to write what he calls them. Just replace the S with a D. Hopefully he will learn how to say it correctly, SOOOON!!!!!

Tatum wanted to hold hands with Tanner. It has been so fun seeing their relationship bloom. They have always had a bond but it has really grown as they have gotten older. Since we always tickle them, they love to chase and tickle each other. They play together pretty much all day long. A live-in best friend... could it be any better? 

ALWAYS on the go............

Goofy, Cheesy grin!!

One of their favorite things to do is throw pine cones in the water at the neighborhood pond.

Looking for pine cones. The kids call them "cones".

Heading for the water!!

30 weeks

Well I'm actually 31 weeks while I write this post but here is my 30 week picture. Still feeling wonderful, I know I keep saying this but I just love being pregnant and feeling this big guy moving around!! This weekend I was given a beautiful baby shower, we were so blessed with everyone's generosity!! Thank you so much everyone!! Well that weekend I might have pushed it a little far, with the shower, Tatum sick and tons of things going on I ended the day on Sunday at the hospital with contractions. I found that if I was standing or sitting I would have them but if I laid down they would stop. So I figured I would call my doctor and he would just tell me to lay down since I had an appt. with him the next day. Not the case, he had me go ahead and go in just to be on the safe side. I was there for about 6 hours of monitoring and waiting for them to stop. They ended up giving me two shots of something which worked and we were on our way home at 3:00 in the morning. I went to the doctor the next day and he said I just need to drink more fluids!! YYYAAAEEEE, no bedrest. I have had a few contractions here and there but not anything to be alarmed about. I'm just taking it a little bit more easy and hopefully I won't end up in the hospital again!!! By the way, we are finally working on the nursery!! I will post some pictures soon!

I can do it mommy!!

Tatum LOVES clothes and shoes!! She always has to have shoes on and is carrying around another pair of shoes. She can actually put on some of her shoes by herself. She also loves to try and put her own clothes on. I was in her closet the other day and I came out to find that she had emptied her whole play clothes drawer and was trying to put on some shorts!!

She was having a blast!! Such a girly girl!!
