Gone Fishin'

We are always trying to think of different things to do with Jack on the weekends, so this Saturday morning (while I was getting my pre-natal massage) Nathan took Jack to Bass Pro Shop and picked up his first FISHING POLE! Everything at this age revolves around popular Disney movies, so they came home with a Lightning McQueen pole and tackle box. :)

We took Jack down to the lake in our neighborhood to fish, but he was more interested in throwing rocks most of the time than fishing. :) I still snapped a few shots with his pole in hand, and have a feeling he'll be ready to learn how to fish as he gets a bit older.

All in all, a great weekend with my amazing little family! Feeling so blessed!

Almost 26 weeks pregnant in VEGAS!!

It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I would start with a pregnancy post. This photo isn't the best quality, it was taken with my cell phone, but at least I'm doing a little documenting of this pregnancy. :)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: Almost 26 Weeks (almost 6 1/2 months)

Size of baby: 13 inches long and weighs slightly over 1 pound

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 10lbs

Maternity Clothes: Yes-mostly just maternity pants when I realize how uncomfortable my regular pants are now.

Gender: Boy

Movement: Yes, he is moving all the time, and I didn't remember the movements being so uncomfortable some of the time...OUCH!

Sleep: I'm not sleeping well. I wake up 2 to 3 times a night to use the restroom, and several more times trying to get comfortable. Not to mention, we just moved Jack into a big-boy bed so I wake up worrying about him.

Symptoms: Lots of indigestion, it's been more difficult this time that with my last pregnancy.

What I miss: Sleeping on my TUMMY!!! I can fall asleep instantly on my stomach, so it's been difficult adjusting. I miss steak and meat as well. I try to eat as much meat as possible, but it really doesn't sound very good, ever.

Cravings: Gummy bears and sorbet.

Best Moment this week: Getting the crib ready for baby, and moving Jack into his big-boy bed. They are sharing a room and I said, "Jack, Baby Brother is going to sleep in the crib now that you have a big-boy bed." He said, "No, that's Jack's bed." I said, what about the big-boy bed? He said," that's Jack's bed too". I thought we had this "sharing" thing down, but it's clear this is going to be a difficult transition. :)

What I am looking forward to: Holding our sweet little angel (I can't wait to have a baby again), deciding on a name for the little guy, and cuddling with Jack every second I get before we become a family of four.
