30 weeks.

Well, I feel like we're rounding 3rd and headed home so to speak!  The final stretch is here, and we are getting very anxious to meet our baby!  Especially after meeting the newest Kummer cousin, Gage.  There is nothing like holding a new baby to make an expecting Mom-to-be even more excited.  Congratulations by the way to Mike a Steph!  Gage is quite the handsome little guy ;)
Cody and I have spent the last week or two finishing up a few "nesting" projects in the house.  The baby's room is nearly ready and even has some clothes hanging the closet (both pink and blue options, of course).  We also tiled our kitchen and dinning room-a big project to check off of our "to-do" list before the baby arrives.  
I continue to feel great, although I think I'm fighting a losing battle with my energy levels.  That tired feeling I remember from the first trimester seemed to start creeping back in this week.  Still, our blessings far outweigh any complaints.  We're reminded of this as we just had another great doctors appointment on Thursday.  The doctor could already tell that the baby is positioned head down and will likely stay that way until the big day! I'm hoping this means baby s won't be a procrastinator like its Mother :)  One can hope..

27 weeks-with a suntan!

We spent last weekend in the Florida Keys with Cody's family for Jenni and Joe's wedding, and we had such a great time!  It felt so good to get some sun as this winter seems to keep dragging on and on.
It was also fun to get a feel of what it's like to be pregnant in the summer.  I've been so used to bundling up in layers out of pure necessity, hoping I can make it from my car to the door of Target without slipping on the ice and tumbling down like a weeble-wobble with my big belly! Instead, we enjoyed some outdoor walks, swimming and even deep sea fishing! I think the baby liked all of our new activities, especially the swimming because it would dance in my tummy like it was doing some water aerobics of its own!

Baby has been moving around quite a bit these days-in a much more powerful manner too.  BJ can attest to this as he is convinced he has a bruised hand after feeling a large kick through my belly.  This also solidified his thoughts of baby s being a boy, as he reasoned a girl could never kick that hard.  We'll see..
