30 Week Reflections

Ok so I was waiting to post this until I uploaded pics- not happening apparently so here goes anyway:

So I have hit the 30 week mark and the nugget is the size of a head of cabbage. I feel like this is a huge accomplishment- not that I have really done much to facilitate it happening besides watching the time go by but still I feel like its a huge thing to be 30 weeks pregnant.

That means I have 10 weeks left to get everything done- YIKES! Dan of course promises it will all come together and I know it always does but when you start looking at the weekends and how we have plans every one of them from now until labor day it feels like this baby is going to sneak right up on us- (from what I hear that really isn't possible but a girl can dream).

So Dan painted the nursery this weekend and we got all the closet organization things to put up. I took a picture really quick because I was getting yelled at for being around the fumes :) (which I swear I will try to add soon ) . All this preparation got me thinking back to when I first found out I was pregnant... cue wavy lines and silly music...

We had already decided to get a puppy because after the loss I wanted something to fill that feeling plus we knew if we waited until I was pregnant we would decide it was the wrong time etc... etc... We had the puppy for 2 days and I was sitting on the floor holding him crying and Dan asked what was wrong- I told him that the puppy wasn't house trained and then we were going to have a baby and all I was going to do was clean up pee/ poop for the rest of my life. He tried very hard not to laugh and then explained calmly to me that we had 7 months + to train him and it would be fine.

So with 10 weeks left to go... my puppy is (mostly) house trained except for a few accidents here and there. He is adorable and fun and I wouldn't trade him in for all the world. I can only imagine that being a parent is going to feel like this times a million. And I can't wait to find out.... (but not until the furniture is here and the windows are put in).

See you in September "smallest searles"!
