30 Weeks



*Please take notice of the new haircut/color.  Although it was a bad style day today, I LOVE it.  It's closer to my natural color and takes me 15 minutes to blow dry and style the whole thing.  Verses me not doing a thing with my Duggar'ish hair before...
Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 30 weeks
Weight Gain: 24 pounds
Babies weight: We had our Ultrasound this morning and Baby Boy weighs 3lb 11oz and Baby Girl weighs 3lbs 9ozs.  For the record that's 7lbs 4ozs of baby.  I can't believe that I want that to almost double..eee...
Movement: They move.  All.The.Time.
Symptoms: Numbness in my hands and feet.  Hungry.  Tired.  I have been getting more and more tired and it's really hard to bend over. 
What I miss: Being able to bend down without it hurting. Getting out of bed vs. rolling out :)  Snuggling with Adelyn without a watermelon in the way.  And Eric, don't forget Eric.
Cravings: Oreo's!    
Best moments this week: Having our 30 week Ultrasound and seeing the babies.  It was so crazy how much we could actually see this time.  We could see his profile so well and we could see her actually sucking.  Melts my heart.
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the basement and getting things done in the nursery!!
Names: Yes!!  Now just for a middle name for Baby Boy..

Charlevoix

 We got back from Charlevoix on Sunday and were able to enjoy a long weekend as a family..yay!!!  The weather “was the warmest they have had in a really long time.”   It was in the 50’s/60’s and sunny the whole weekend.  We did a trip similar to this last year where we go just as a family and don’t do a whole lot.  It’s really enjoyable and super relaxing.  



The pretty lady in a cute alley we found right on the main street. 


 
 Adelyn and I swimming in the hotel pool.  Adelyn is in a cheesy smile phase right now and loves to say “cheese” when we take a picture.  I love it!!

We found a park after a long drawn out process of going to every park Garmin suggested only to be disappointed in the lack of toys.  The way Garmin took us it led to the baseball side of the park and Eric (who, mind you, is the biggest rule abiding person I know) decided just to drive across the field to get to the other side of the park!  That was probably the chilliest morning, hence the hat ;)

It was Charlevoix’s Apple Festival while we were there.  They had all kinds of vendors, crafts, a petting zoo and horse rides!  Adelyn loved to look at the animals.  She wasn’t such a huge fan of feeding the goats but we got some pictures and then she had fun running around the pen and asking “waz tat?” for every animal.  We took her on her first pony ride and when the pony first took off she was shaking her head no but then she got into it and wanted to go again :)
