went in for a check up yesterday and all is just right. organs are good, fluids are good, and she’s head down. yah!
I’m 33 weeks and 4 days by the calendar. EmilyMae is measuring at 31 weeks and 6 days. I just grow them small.
here she is with her little round nose.
(chris asked them to confirm she is still a girl, ha)
33 weeks and counting!
my belly button is officially an outie and i have a pretty good waddle when i’m tired. parts are getting achy which is to be expected. baby is moving a lot these days and i’m pretty sure i use the potty more often than anabelle (well more than she would if every time she peed it was actually in the potty, ha!).
i have an ultrasound tomorrow morning just to check in on emilymae since i’m measuring a bit small. chris and anabelle are coming along so we’ll all get a little peek at her.
still more growing to do but feeling pretty great!
ok, this potty training business is not for the impatient or the unmotivated. i was all psyched for the 3 day potty training guide i had read. so, all kiddos are different and we are still working at it. no biggie in the big picture but it sure can be consuming and a bit exhausting. so far anabelle’s only consistent success is waking up from nap dry which is huge in my book. she is just now starting to verbalize that she has to pee . . . ok, that she has peed. oh well, we’ll get there.
relaxing and learning some abc’s
she is picking up so much lately - and appropriately still easily distracted as you can see.
rocking her big girl undies, oh and a necklace too, of course.
that morning she decided to try and get herself dressed too.
man, i love this little lady! potty accidents and all.
trying to help papa make a decision in the cereal aisle.
i just ordered a new changing pad cover for emilymae. anabelle loved the owls on it and decided it made a pretty sweet cape.
enjoying another breakfast together at our favorite spot.
thanks, mauri, for the cutie matching bracelets for me and a!
anabelle still loves watching all the construction going on behind our complex. a couple days ago one of the diggers was in a perfect spot for her to see from the living room. she calls it a dig-dig and is happy to wave to it and say hi. she also says uh-oh when it drops any dirt that it scooped up. this day it was loading up dump trucks so there were lots of uh-oh’s.
a little over a week ago i hosted a baby shower for my friend jamie and baby ella (due at the end of this month). it was such a fun and beautiful morning together to celebrate her bump and first baby.
jamie and i went to grad school at USD together.
thanks pinterest for the cutie idea for the baby wishes.
catching up with a couple other girls from school.
happy bellies excited to meet our baby girls!
definitely did some growing this past week just measuring a little small for the average charts. I’m small so hoping it’s no biggie. have an ultrasound next week just to take a peek and make sure our emilymae is cozy and getting everyhing she needs.
the weeks are ticking by so fast!
for memorial weekend chris was actually in town and had some time off. he made plans for us to go on a little staycation. it was great for all of us.
our condo was almost as big as our house and anabelle loved running all around.
playing at the pool was fun too!
i always love getting to see them together.
all set to go listen to big band music.
anabelle could have run and run all day. she gets pretty excited for open spaces and getting her toes in the grass. it was a great view while i had another snack.
just a little piano playing in a wagon by the window – simple, right?
watching the trucks and diggers with papa.
ready for another morning at the youth center on base – backpack and all.
a cozy morning in mama’s fleece.
i tried to catch anabelle doing her kettlebell squats but only got the very end.
another video at the table – here she is saying ‘cheese’ for the camera and laughing as i try to make sad-pouty faces at her. you can see her try to make a face at the end. she thinks it’s pretty funny – chris does not.
