I went to my 30 week appointment this week and everything was just fine. Gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks, his heart rate is in the 140s still, my glucose test was fine that was 109. The nurse checked his position and seems to think that he is head down already, now he just needs to stay that way for a few weeks. Next appointment is in 2 weeks.
That night he was just kicking away as Ben and I were laying down to go to bed. I got Ben's hand and he kicked right where Ben's hand was. Ben had a hard time feeling Katelynn too because he thought that it was just weird that there is something growing and moving inside of me.
Baby Boy is getting alot stronger. He pushes and kicks alot and makes me do a belly dance. I really don't think Katelynn moved this much. He's had the hiccups quite a few times now, actually he's having some now as I type this. I haven't had any Braxton Hicks, just leg cramps in the middle of the night that are getting more frequent. I am also TIRED. Where is that burst of energy that you get at the end, because I need it.

Tara is 10
A few weekends ago we celebrated Tara's 10th Birthday. Beth and Kevin had a pool party for her at their neighbor's house (Ever since we went there Ben has wished he was neighbors with them too, he loved their pool.) It is funny to think that I first started dating Ben when Tara was born. I remember holding her and wondering if I was going to be apart of her life or not.
We had a great time at the party, there was plenty of food and fun. Of, course Katelynn was quite the entertainment for all and kept Ben and I on our toes the entire time.

Didn't quite like how close Katelynn was to the aftershock of the Cannonball. Needless to say Ben didn't jump in again unless I was with her.
The Birthday Girl
We have known for a while that Katelynn does not have a fear of water. Taking her to the beach last summer and she just walked right in made me realize that. So, being at a built in pool for the first time this summer I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, she wanted in as soon as she saw the pool. She was jumping in to Ben and I, sometimes when we weren't ready for her to jump to us. She soon saw all the other kids jumping in to pool on the diving board and wanted to do that too. So, she followed them to the line, got on the diving board and jumped (walked) in Ben was ready to catch her. Ben didn't push her to do it she came up with the idea herself. She did that at least five or six times.

I only had to save Katelynn once. She went into the pool without Ben and I or any adult in the water, we were all eating. I was right behind her trying to grab her from getting into the pool and she just walked in the shallow end on at the steps. My fearless little girl.

Scrapbooking
Just in case anyone was wondering if I still did scrapbook. I do and have been trying to get a few things done before the little man comes, which by the way is in less than 64 days. Here's a few Layouts I have done this past month.

29 weeks and other updates
29 Weeks
Time is going faster and faster and I am getting slower and slower. I am getting more uncomfortable and unable to move as easily as before. Baby Boy is getting bigger and bigger. He isn't kicking as fast anymore. He is pushing and stretching since his is now starting to run out of room.
I had a doctor's appointment last week and in 4 weeks I had gained 1 pound for a total of 12 pounds so far. I was pretty shocked by that. I know the massive weight gains are coming though. Everything looks great. My Blood pressure is amazingly low, as usual. His heart beat is in the 140's. I go back in another week and start the every two week visits.
We got a dresser for Katelynn and Baby Boy to share so we have Katelynn's old dresser that we are going to sell. It is nice to have the dresser so that I can separate their clothes and better see what I have for him.
Nesting
The carpet is now completely cleaned. That was the biggest job to get done. The bedroom closets are cleaned out. Now to work on the other closets. I try and do a little bit each day so that it won't be too over whelming.
The Garden
The garden has exploded since I took these pictures. Since the heat has came things are really starting to grow. I haven't seen any tomato buds yet but there are 3 inch zucchini's. The cucumber plant is huge and the green pepper's are slowly growing. I just have to check on it every few days to make sure things don't get out of control.
