Baby Bump Update

Well we made it to 32 weeks.  Not too much longer to go.  So far so good.  This pregnancy has been way different than when I was pregnant with Jaxon.  This baby is definitely more active.  I have felt pretty good other than a few headaches here and there and a little back pain.  Jaxon keeps me busy and so I get tired by the time he goes down for a nap after lunch.  I've had a few more ultrasounds than normal.  My placenta is a little too close to my cervix and it needs to move so that its 2 cm away from my cervix.  Otherwise I will have to have a C-Section.  At my doctors appointment this week the baby was measuring right on schedule at about 4 pounds and is currently breech.  There is still plenty of time for it to turn.  Jaxon loves to see the baby and put his hands on my belly.  I know he's going to be a great big brother.  We still don't know the gender and we have names picked out for both.  I would be fine either way.  I think it would be fun to have one of each.  Of course if we had a boy Jaxon would have to share all his trucks, tractors, and trains and that might be hard.  But if it was a boy I know they would be great buddies.  If it was a girl I know Jaxon would take good care of her.  All we pray for is a healthy baby whether girl or boy.

Another Family Reunion

Over Labor Day we drove to South Carolina for a family reunion on my mom's side of the family.  Her dad, my Papa, was one of 10 kids.  So we have a pretty large family.  There were 83 people and 2 little ones in the oven that made it.  We were only missing a few families.  It was so good to see everyone again.  Thankfully it was at my mom's cousin's lake house so with the 90 degree heat the lake was nice to go swimming and cool off.  Jaxon loved the water and had fun playing with his cousin Maddie Grace and seeing Mimmie and Pop Pop.

 Field trip to Tractor Supply to get a spare tire for the jet ski trailer

on our way 

 Its 9pm and Jaxon is content playing with rocks and his trucks.  We were driving in the middle of no where and then we pulled into a random high school gravel parking lot with lights so Brian could change the tire on the jet ski trailer.  So thankful for the rocks that kept our son busy and for the random high school parking lot

Our host and hostess for the weekend

more fun in August

We met our friends at the Life and Science Center and had fun watching the kids run around and play.  Thankfully I didn't have to do much chasing. They got climb on the dinosaurs, dig for fossils, play with rocks, climb on the train, and see some animals.

Brian's dad retired from working at the post office.  So we had fun hosting a red, white, and blue surprise party for him.  Family and friends from church were able to come.
