28 Weeks

June 18

1. I had a DELICIOUS Oreo peanut butter milkshake this week from Sonic... Half price milkshakes after 8pm are definitely going to be a summer favorite!

2. Caroline is going to be such a sweet big sister. She did this by herself this week... Guess she knows she is having a baby brother!

3. We had a fun play date with some of Caroline's friends this week. I can't wait to see who Sullivan will be friends with! I have one friend at church due the same month with a boy so it will be fun to see them grow up together!

4. Caroline has been a little more snuggly this week, I think because of teething. I have forgotten how teething is... And we are about to start it all over again!

5. This weekend was Father's Day. We celebrated by having lunch with my parents at Original Oyster House. It was so yummy! It was great to celebrate Blake and my Dad. Blake is such a fun, sweet, protective Daddy with Caroline. I can't wait to see him with Sullivan and how things will be different having a boy!

6. Caroline took a big tumble this week and has a pretty bruise on her forehead. I have a feeling we will have a lot more of these with Sullivan. Boys seem to get hurt more since they play so rough. He will have to be a tough guy!

7. I had my checkup on Monday and everything is looking good! I have gained 13 pounds and my belly is measuring one week behind (which is a good thing... Maybe Sully won't be quite as big as Caroline. Haha!). 

8. I have been having a few cravings this week. Watermelon was the main one which I have been enjoying since I got one at the store. It is so sweet and juicy. Yum!

9. I have also wanted sausage biscuits for some reason, so that was another grocery purchase this week. So random the things you crave. 

10. I am hoping to get Caroline moved to her big girl room in the next 2 weeks. Then I can start getting the nursery set for Sullivan! :)

27 Weeks

June 11

1. The past few weeks, I have noticed Sullivan getting the hiccups. It is so funny to feel my belly jump and realize how big he is getting!

2. I had my first experience of waking up with a Charlie horse in my leg in the middle of the night. It went away pretty quickly so hopefully that won't keep happening. 

3. With my first pregnancy, I had to take my wedding rings off because the skin underneath them would break out and then get really dry and peel. That happened again one day this week. I think it is when my hands get a little swollen and water gets stuck underneath it. My rings are back on now so we will see how long that lasts.

4. We are now less than THREE months away from my due date!! So much to do before this little guy can come!

5. This past weekend, we went to a wedding and Caroline was lighting up the dance floor. It is so funny to see how much she just naturally loves to dance. It will be fun to see how things are different with Sullivan and what boy things he will like. I know his Daddy can't wait for him to play sports!

6. We had a baby shower for a friend in my Sunday school class this past week who is expecting her 3rd baby. It was fun to see all the baby stuff. It made it a little more real that we will be adding a new baby to our family soon. 

7. Sullivan has gotten a lot stronger this past week. I have really started to notice him moving during the day more and even when I am being active. 

8. I get a weekly email update about what part of Sullivan is developing that specific week. This week, Sullivan weighs almost 2 pounds and he is sleeping and waking at regular intervals. He is always very awake and active around 10 when I am going to sleep.

9. I am looking forward to getting Caroline's big girl room ready in the next few weeks (hoping to have it ready by her birthday on the 26th). Then I can work on getting the nursery ready for our baby boy!!

10. This weekend is Father's Day! It will be Blake's last one as a daddy to just one kiddo! :)

26 Weeks

June 4

1. JUNE... It is already June?! Wow!! Only a little over 3 months until baby Sullivan is here! :)

2. We went to Huntsville and Nashville this weekend to meet our niece, Rylin. She is such a sweet baby! It was so crazy to hold a newborn again. I have forgotten how small they are! 

3. We attempted to get a picture of all the cousins... Much easier said than done with 4 kids under the age of 4. This is one of my favorites though! I know Cam will be excited to add a boy cousin to help even things out! Haha! 

4. I got to have one if my favorite things this weekend in Huntsville... A breakfast burrito from Shaggy's! I get it with half bacon and half sausage. It is so so yummy!! Sullivan liked it too! ;) It is making me hungry just thinking about it. 

5. Caroline wakes up early (6:30) whenever we are out of town... So Sullivan and I have been missing our chance to sleep in a little. 

6. I haven't really had any cravings recently. I still haven't had a chick fil a peach milkshake. I am making it a point to get one THIS week!

7. Not sure if I have said this or not, but my belly button is definitely poking out. It has been out for awhile, which is funny because it didn't come out until the very end with Caroline. 

8. Another symptom I haven't had this time that I did have before was the dark line on your belly. I don't know if it has to do with different hormones with this being a boy or if it just hasn't shown up yet. It stayed for awhile after Caroline was born too. 

9. My sleep has not been as restful recently. Not sure why, but I've been waking up more and it takes me awhile to go back to sleep too. 

10. As promised for this month... Here is a belly picture! ;)

25 Weeks

May 28

1. It has been HOT here!! I have been trying to stay inside during the middle part of the day but it has just been super hot all day here. 

2. Our friends Jeremy and Marianne were in town this weekend for Memorial Day. We had a great time with them and their daughter Leah Kate. Caroline got some big sister training in with having a baby here. It was fun to think about how things will be in a few months having TWO kiddos! (Yes, we are accidentally matching in this picture. Haha!)

3. We went to the beach on Saturday and it was so fun! Caroline has been scared of the waves until this trip. She LOVED the water!! Blake took her out and she kept saying "down" like she just wanted to go swimming. Haha! Major swim lessons to come in the future... I hope Sullivan likes the beach too since we live so close. I'm sure that will be a family favorite for years to come!

That is my sweet Caroline being thrown in the air by her Daddy. Haha!

4. Since it has been so hot here, we set Caroline's pool up in the yard. She couldn't wait for me to fill it up, so she first jumped in it with her clothes on. Haha! She loves going down her slide into the pool too. 

5. Sullivan has been making me very hungry recently... I have a feeling I will be gaining a little more weight this month. Haha! Luckily (or thankfully) we don't have a scale at home so I don't know what I weigh until I go to the doctor.

6. The weeks are flying by right now! It is so crazy to think I only have 15 more weeks. Less than 4 months! I have a lot to accomplish befor this little guy can make his entrance.

7. I am looking forward to going to Huntsville and Nashville this coming weekend! We get to meet our niece Rylin who was born on May 12! Now I have 2 sisters in law who have 2 kids, so they can give me all their expert advice on being a mom of 2!

8. Making trips to Huntsville will be very different the next time we go with Caroline and Sullivan. It is about a 6 hour drive... So we will probably have to stop a lot more often with baby Sullivan!

9. Caroline and I went to Mobile just for one night this week while Daddy was out of town. I got to work on Caroline's birthday party with Janny! We had fun making invitations, fans (since it is going to be outside), and some other things. I can't wait to see how it all comes together. Mom is a great party planner so it is so fun to have her help me!

10. I am so excited to be having a boy! I don't know if I have said that much, but I just can't wait! I know several other girls having babies in or around September and they are all boys! Can't wait to see them all grow up together!

24 Weeks

May 21

1. I had my doctor's appointment on Monday. Everything went well! Praising a God for uneventful check ups! 

2. I have gained 9 lb so far, which is about the same as my first pregnancy... But my belly sure has popped out sooner this time!

3. I scheduled my glucose test for 3 weeks from now so hopefully that will go well!

4. Caroline is ALL girl and loves playing dress up now. I can already see her trying to put a now on baby brother Sullivan! Haha!

5. Mr. Sullivan is definitely getting more active these days. I don't think he is as active as Caroline, but his kicks are getting stronger now. 

6. I have been craving more salty things recently like chips. I don't usually care for chips, but pregnancy does crazy things to ya. 

7. Sleep has been pretty good... Sometimes not even waking up once!

8. My back is still hurting some, so I have been trying not to pick Caroline up much (a lot harder than it sounds... Haha!) and that seems to be helping. 

9. BIG milestone this week.... VIABILITY!! A lot of people don't even know what that is, but it basically means that Sulllivan "could" survive if he was born now. It would still be a miracle, but it could be done. Praying he stays in for a LOT longer! 

10. I am looking forward to having friends stay with us this weekend! They have a 6 month old so it will be fun to see Caroline around a younger baby too!
