10 weeks to go!

I had my 30 week Dr. appointment on Tuesday and everything went well. He said that he is measuring 2 centimeters behind schedule but he also said that is pretty normal. His heart rate was perfect and strong! Easton should be around 3lbs and about 15 inches long...about the size of a head of cabbage! He is still an active little booger and I can't tell his position at the moment, because I honestly thing he changes quite a bit. He definitely favors my left side...sometimes I feel like he is just balled up all on my left side. I definitely don't mind the karate chops and fist pumps...it makes me giggle. Raine loves to wake him up when he is quiet and push on him so he pushes back. It's cute :) I am still feeling great, still have energy, and still able to get into the gym quite a bit but I can't get nearly as good of a work-out in as before. The Dr. says I can continue my routine as long as its not uncomfortable, so hopefully I can last until the end...I can tell I sleep better when I am able to get even a short work-out in!

30 weeks!

Easton and I have our first Baby Shower in Greenville, SC this weekend...given by some great friends that I have grown up with! We are very excited!!! Raine is going to come with me because I am technically out of the "range" I should be traveling out of the area but it's only 1.5 hours away and its only for a night so I think we should be okay. I will be sure to post some pictures next week!

Have a good week everyone! xo

3rd Trimester!

I can't believe I am already in the 3rd Trimester...it has definitely gone by fast! I had my 28 week check-up and my Glucose Challenge Test last Tuesday. Everything came back good and normal, so no gestational diabetes, Hooray! I will now start seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. He told me that Easton is laying transverse or sideways right now. I  could already tell that because I can feel him on both the right and the left sides when he is moving around. He was breech at our last Ultrasound so I was a little concerned because I really want to avoid a c-section, however, the Dr. said he is not concerned at this point that he won't turn "head-down" by delivery...he is still so small that he has all kinds of room to move around. And he is as active as ever...which I am certainly thankful for, but sometimes his kicks and punches are just shocking! He should be around 2 1/4 lbs. right now and about 14.8 inches long! I am still feeling great, and still able to get into the gym about 5 days a week. Even though they all stare at me, and quite a few make comments about the fact that I am still going to the gym. It's amusing because most of the comments are from men...they are very curious about how far along I am, his name, etc.

28 Weeks

What else we have been up to...Well, we attended my 10 year High School Reunion (which I can't believe it has actually been 10 years) a couple weeks ago in Greenville, SC. It was a lot of fun to just hang out with some girlfriends that I don't get to see too often but it did prove my theory that Facebook seems to do away with the need for reunions...I knew what 90% of the people I saw there were up to and they knew just as much about my life. Raine was a good sport, luckily he knew most of my friends' husbands so he was entertained! All in all it was a good time, but I'm not sure I will go back to the 20 year Reunion...we'll see! :) Here are some pictures from the Reunion...



All my best friends from MHS...3 Preggos in the group!



That's all for now...Hope you all have a great weekend! xo
