Carson 36 Weeks

I can't believe we are only 4 weeks away from meeting our little boy! Time has flown but now it seems like it is standing still. So excited to meet Mr. Carson.

How far along: 36 weeks
Best moment this week: We picked out a lullaby song for Carson and have been playing it for him before we go to bed.
Miss Anything: A good nights sleep, but that won't be coming anytime in the near future.
Movement:  My belly is so big his movements are sometimes painful now.
Food cravings: Orange juice with crushed ice.
Have you started to show yet: You tell me :)
Looking forward to: Meeting our little man.

Happy Birthday Snyder! (and a little something about Carson)

Happy 4th Birthday to the best pup around!! We are so very happy we rescued you from that horrible shelter 3 years ago. Our lives would not be complete without you!!

Birthday treats!

In baby news, I found a going home outfit for Carson today! It's an adorable plaid romper to match his K-State hat. Can't wait to see him in it.

Going home outfit!

Picture Time!

Last week Reid and I had some maternity pictures taken and I got them today and wanted to share. I think they turned out great! A big thanks to Erin Jachimiak Photography. She will also be doing Carson's pictures when he comes. Here are a few of my favorites!

Carson 32 Weeks + Baby Shower + Easter Weekend

I'm a little late with my 32 week post because we made a trip to Kansas last weekend for a baby shower. We'll get to that in just a bit.

32 week baby bump

How far along: 32 weeks
Best moment this week: Going back to Kansas for the grandparents to see my growing belly and to shower Carson with some love.
Miss Anything: Sleeping on my back, a glass of wine or beer, morning coffee, not waking up to pee in the middle of the night.
Movement: He is quite the squirmer and I even can feel hiccups now.
Food cravings: Fruity things (smoothies, fruit-flavored ice cream, flavored water).
Have you started to show yet: I have quite the belly and my back knows it!
Looking forward to: Our baby classes.

Carson and I had a wonderful baby shower and we are so thankful to all our family and friends who came to support.  Actually we had so many gifts that we coudn't fit everything in the car to bring back!! I'm thankful for my wise mom who had all the guests play games while I opened the presents. If anyone knows me, I hate being the center of attention. My mother-in-law made some delicious food and I do not feel guilty about indulging on 1 (or maybe 10) too many mini carrot cupcakes!

This past weekend also happened to be Easter and it was nice to spend with family. We went to church with my parents, had Easter lunch at Jack Stack and then met some friends for a little bowling fun. It was a great day!
