I hope all you mommas….and soon-to-be mommas had a wonderful MOTHERS DAY weekend!

The weather has been absolutely beautiful here in Whitefish lately….Spring has sprung! I am reminded all over again of why this place I call home is so special. Yes, we have long winters, but Spring half of Spring, Summer and Fall are breathtaking. The views….in every direction that you look….are like a giant painting. Perfection! I’ll show you what I’m talking about very soon! It also makes for perfect frozen yogurt weather, which is always a good thing.

Well our little guy is moving around like crazy….with the occasional hiccups! So funny! He’s weighing in around 3.75 pounds [think COCONUTS!!] and is about 16.7 inches long- taking up A LOT of room! He also has toenails, fingernails and real hair!!! – following treats and healthy nails at askhealth –  Oooooh I wonder what color hair he will have ?!?! Any guesses? (Found this tristandining – clear nails plus perfect for your nails)

I discovered a treat for our toenail, visit Pure Nails Pro and find information.

We have a “crash course” birthing class on Saturday….should be interesting!

Have a great week, my friends!
XOXO

p.s YES, the coconut os cracked in half….because mr. reed decided to toss this thing up in the air a few times….and well, it dropped! leaking everywhere….good times!

OUTFIT DETAILS:: grey tank: Ross | pink pants: Target | glitter flats: Jcrew | bracelets: Jcrew | headband: Etsy* [can’t remember the shop, but I’ll ask miss Elsie Larson because she introduced me to the adorable shop a few years ago!].

Well, I have graduated from once a month doctor appointments to every 2 weeks!

We also toured the Birthing Center last week, which was pretty amazing. For someone who has spent much time in scary and sterile hospital situations [with my younger sister, Melissa….who recently received her wings in Heaven], this tour was a breath of fresh air. The focus of this Birthing Center is truly around family, life & joy…and is very accommodating to how each individual mother chooses to deliver her baby. The natural world and medical world have completely collided at this place….pretty amazing!

Lots of movement from our bebe boy! I’ll admit that I was responsible for his bad case of the hiccups on Cinco De Mayo! The huz and I went out for Mexican Food and I ate the BIGGEST enchilada ever made! Every bit of it was gone. My plate was cleared. Reed couldn’t believe his eyes…..or his ears when I wanted to order chips and queso to go! And no, this Mexican Restaurant does not have queso….so my dinner ended right then and there. HA!

According to my app, this week our little guy is about 16 inches long and weighs 3.5 pounds [try carrying four navel oranges!].

Oh my! I am on a layover in Salt Lake City from Las Vegas, where my husband and I were at a Trade Show for the Red Caboose! It’s been a crazy, busy and exciting week all packed in to one….and internet access [on my computer] was a bit challenging.

So, yes….this post is a few days late, but I did love hearing from you asking where the weekly post was! HA! Seriously! I love that you are along for the ride with me- you, my friends are the best.

Ok, without further ado. This week we’ve got a little butternut squash! According to my app- he weighs around 2.5 pounds [although we know he’s a little bigger than that now] and a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for the developing brain. Now, I’m just praying he flips right on over!

I can NOT believe that this series began at week 16….and Im posting about week 30 already! This pregnancy has flown by and has truly been a wonderful experience. I’ve loved every bit of it!

This week begins the new schedule of doctor visits- they are happening more frequently- every 3 weeks! We’ve also scheduled the childbirth class and hospital tour for May! It’s getting real, folks!

Well, our growing guy is around 15.7 inches long and weighs almost 3 pounds….like a head of cabbage!

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and have a great week ahead! I’ve got a little surprised planned for you tomorrow….be sure and check back!

XOXO

Oh my goodness! I can not believe this the 10th segment of my maternity series! It’s going by so fast….I love looking back at these posts and seeing the change…..in him and in me. It’s unreal! Life truly is a miracle….and from none other than God.

This week our little guy now measures around 13 1/2 inches long and weighs about a pound and a half [around the weight of an average RUTABAGA]! Whew! That explains what happened on the scale during my last doctor visit! Not only was it a growing baby, but I was also wearing my favorite JCREW necklace [that apparently weighs over 1 pound]…so of course my super rad nurse re-weighed me and documented the correct weight!

Back to the RUTABAGA….what in the world? I had to google this one….never heard of it! Looks like a momma turnip to me!

Have a great week, friends!
