35/35


I made it to 35 weeks, with 35 days to go! This pregnancy has been much harder than with Avery. I've been in constant pain in some form or another since week 30. It's been an interesting 5 weeks of back pain, hip pain, contractions, leg pain, headaches, pelvic pain. Working full time still and coming home to a toddler who wants to play and run around can be exhausting! There is no time for rest, except when Fred gets home from work and can help with bath time and bed time. I'm trying not to complain though. I just want to soak up this time as we are in the final weeks of being a family of 3. Many new challenges are ahead for us! It is exciting but yet also a little scary too. I hope I can handle what's to come.

At my 34 week appointment, I had an ultrasound to check fluid levels. The fluid levels were fine, thank goodness, and we found out baby weighed in at 4.375 lbs. I think we're going to have another petite baby, and I'm very much ok with that! Although Avery was about 6.5 lbs, my guess is that this baby will be close to or at 7 lbs. But that's just my guess!


Discovery Village

We made a trip over to Gig Harbor last weekend. Jody, Ryan, Fred and I took Grayson and Avery to a new place called Discovery Village. They had a huge play area with fun stuff to climb on, a moon sand station, play grocery store, pizzaria, vet office, coloring station, shiny rock station and train station. They also have a litte cafe where moms and dads can order coffees, cupcakes or snacks and just hang out and watch the kids! It was so fun and they had such a great time! These pictures are so funny...Avery still refuses to look at the camera and smile! I hope this phase ends soon.
