Family "Sprinkle" Celebration for Nathan

Ryan, Ava and I had a fantastic time at our “Sprinkle” Celebration for Nathan. At 1^st Ryan and I were very hesitant on having anything since this is baby #2 and we purposely registered/bought all Ava’s baby/infant items in neutral colors, but Mimi and Mary convinced us to celebrate. I’m glad we did!! We registered for minimal essentials and diapers….AND boy did we receive an out pouring of gifts. We are very thankful for our family and friends. We are now ready to welcome Nathan.

36 Week Check Up

I had my weekly checkup at 36 weeks 4 days. Nate’s heartbeat is good and he is very lower, but my cervix is still high. We scheduled a tentative C-section date for Wednesday April 16^th (39 weeks 3 days)  However, at my next weekly appointment Thursday morning April 3^rd  (37 weeks 4 days) we will do an ultra sound to measure Nate. If his size is good we will move up the C-section to Wednesday April 9^th delivering him at 38 weeks 3 days.
This mama is ready!!! With Ava I never felt pressure, cramps in my legs and now I waddle. I also delivered her at 37 weeks 2 days and she was only 6lbs 1oz. So I can’t imagine going full term with Nate. I feel comfortable moving up his delivery date. Especially if she thinks he will be around 8lbs.  

36 Weeks

Can you tell I’m so ready for this to end…..

 

How far along: 36 weeks
Weigh gained: about 20lbs as of 34 week appointment. I’m sure I’m up at least 2-3 lbs.
Sleep: Waking up 3+ times to use the restroom or take a tums. No Bueno
Maternity Clothes: all day, everyday
Movement: still pretty active.
Belly button in or out: flat
What I miss: running, wine, sleeping on my stomach, picking up Ava and squeezing her.
Craving/favorite foods: Mexican lately
Milestones: weekly appointments
Best moment this past month: feeling Nate have the hiccups, Neighborhood Diaper party, Work Celebration and STILL wearing my wedding rings.
Looking forward to: our Family Diaper Celebration this weekend.

Jacobs 2nd Birthday

Baby Jacob (as Ava calls him) had a fun Birthday Party at  The Woodlands Children Museum. As soon as we walked in Ava was eye balling what exhibit she wanted to play in. We made our rounds but spent most of our time in the Dino Pit (go figure).

Mom and Ava Date

I love this little girl to pieces. I love spending one on one quality time with her. I also love her goofy smile she has started when she is happy/excited. I can’t believe in a few short weeks I will have another little one to love on. I cant imagine loving another child as much as I love Ava, but I know it is possible.

Nate's Room

We are finally finished with Nathan’s Room. I think it turned out pretty cute. Ava helped with the theme and even helped with some of the wall art we painted. I even got super crafty and made his letters myself.
