75%

Posted by Aprille on Saturday, June 26, 2010, In : Baby Ezra

This past Wednesday I reached the 30 week mark of my pregnancy, which now means I'm 75% done!! Only 10 more weeks to go til my due date!

Baby Squirt just keeps growing and growing. Simple tasks are getting awkward and cumbersome, and sometimes even uncomfortable. I'm doing a lot of resting between chores just to keep my strength up.

One More Day

A year ago today I woke up with butterflies in my stomach and thoughts of anticipation...my husband was coming home from Afghanistan!!!

Since my last appointment (5 weeks ago), I gained 15 pounds and 8 inches in my tummy! When my midwife told me that the baby enters a huge growth spurt at 28 weeks, my initial reaction was UH OH!!!! (How much bigger can it get right?!?!)

The baby is really learning to enjoy mommys tummy! Squirt now...

Beach Vacation 2010

Posted by Aprille on Saturday, June 5, 2010, In : Photo blogs

Over the past week we got to take our block leave (summer vacation). We drove down to where Russell's mom lives in North Carolina and spent a few days there visiting with the in-laws. They even threw us a baby shower!!!

Then we all packed up (again) and drove down to Oak Island where Russells' mom owns a house within a mile of the beach. We spent 5 days there just relaxing, watching TV, playing cards, and swimming in the ocean. It was so relaxing!!!!
