I have officially hit the 6 month mark {24 weeks}, with just over 3 months to go I can't even believe how fast this pregnancy is going. Both my boys were born about 2 weeks early, so if that were to happen again I only have 14 weeks left!!! What?!!
I am so excited to meet this baby, but I also feel so patient this time around. With Camden I felt like he would never get here, and I felt like I had been pregnant for 2 years. With Grayson I was so uncomfortable the entire time, {he was very low the whole pregnancy} I just couldn't wait to get him out so I could feel like myself again. This time, well I just feel so good, I honestly think this has been my best & easiest pregnancy yet.

| 22 Weeks. |
Here are some pregnancy facts about me this time around:
- I had a few cravings for spicy food early on, but since then, no cravings.
- I have only gained 10 lbs so far, much less than my other pregnancies.
- I don't get up in the night to pee, it is so weird, this has never happened.
- I have no stretch marks.
- My hips were miserable for a good 7-8 weeks and right now they are feeling so good I have some much energy each day and I am loving it. I don't think it will last, but I will soak it in as long as possible.
- This sweet baby is so active now and I can see my belly moving and shifting around all day. I love these moments of pregnancy the most.
- My face is breaking out pretty bad, worse than with the other two. Wonder if maybe this is a girl ;)
- All the old wives tales and heart rate calculators say this is a girl. I won't believe it until it happens!
- We are planning a natural birth this time around. I got to a 9 without even realizing it with Grayson, and I would not have even asked for an epidural if I would have known he would be out 30 minutes later! This is my last shot, I think I've got this one!
- I drank at least a cup of coffee {caffeinated} every morning this whole pregnancy so far, and I just gave it up a week ago, & I feel great. I never went through any withdrawals and I'm already not craving coffee every morning.
- Wes is training for triathlons again, which makes me so excited to get this baby out so I can do some training again and maybe run a few races next fall with him. {I don't do tri's, just runs}
We have also started on the baby nursery. We found a dresser on Craigslist and repainted it, as well as added new knobs. We will use it as the changing table. Wes is so good at the projects I give him, he really does enjoy doing them too! Our rug is from Costco {$99 special!!!}, and the lamp is from Ross. Still trying to decide if we keep the glider the way it is, or attempt to recover/paint it to match the white nursery.
Well that is it for pregnancy updates. Oh, and we still don't have names picked out, so we will get back to you on those, probably once the baby is born.
I will leave you with some adorable pics of my big boys!

I love your blog! I love the projects, and you and your family are just beautiful! Random question...where did you get those seat/cubbies on that last picture your son is standing on. My friend is making some and I had seen seat ones and he didn't believe they could be strong enough to be used as seats too. Are yours from IKEA? ~Kassie
