30 weeks and 4am

It is 4am... do you know where your babies are?

This is becoming a regular theme and I am really not sure whom is sleep training who! The fur baby and the little guy both are early birds it seems and just want to play at this time of morning!  So it is as good a time as any to work on a couple things while I am awake.

Little guy update... we have made it to 30 weeks.... he is the size of a summer cantaloupe... not sure if there is any other type. 

He is about 17 inches long but curled up and about 3 and a half pounds. Seems to be growing well and doing a whole lot of moving.  Per our last ultrasound on Thursday... he is curled up above my stomach under my sternum facing backwards.... again another great view of his spinal column. This is also causing the issue of him taking my breath away and causing a lot of indigestion and heartburn.  (Another couple of reasons the sleep training for mommy is working well.)   Really praying that he starts making his way head down so that we have a chance to have a natural birth.

 The fur baby...currently also curled up on my upper tummy at the moment.... purring away.  Not much else to report on him at the moment!

With all of these changes... I have been trying to catch up on reading... both for me and for little guy's development. Currently this is the stack of books on my night stand....

This week in the lives of Justin and Angela.... Justin is a saint for putting up with the emotions...and exhaustion of his pregnant wife. It was Angela's first week back to school for the regular school year... and with a great team  it started off with a very smoothish start.  We capped off our week with a trip to Riverside's Fox theatre to see the Queen Extravaganza. Building little guy's repertoire of music and he danced the entire 2 and a half hours!

We are fully aware that some of these adventures will be put on a temporary hiatus when little guy gets here...however we want to make sure he gets the experiences of culture as well as being introduced to the world around him from a young age.

Now that both the fur baby and the little guy are cruising again... and it has finally cooled off a bit (It had been in the triple digits again around here!)... I am going to try to get a nap in before J gets up to start his day.
