HOW FAR ALONG: 32 weeks

SYMPTOMS: Nothing out of the ordinary.

STRETCH MARKS: None

MOVEMENT: A lot

THREE THINGS I AM LOVING RIGHT NOW: 

1: 3D/4D Sonogram - We went on Thursday to have a peek at Ashton. It is so amazing to see him so clearly just moving around contently. Not only did he look so chubby, he also had evidence of abundant, curly/wavy hair. This is not a shock since Jeremiah has super curly hair. What surprised us the most was how incredibly similar Ashton looks to Ryann when she was born. They could be twins! So thankful for this moment and looking forward to meeting him in February.

2: Cybex Carseat and Stroller - Is this lame, lol? We finally completed all of our baby purchases! I am overly interested in baby products and reviews so I spent a lot of time researching and comparing the plentiful options available. Our decision ended up coming down to either the Cybex or Nuna carseat and the Cybex or Bugaboo stroller. In the end, we kept in (semi)simple and went with all Cybex. My favorite thing about the baby carrier is that it reclines when attached to the stroller or when out of the carseat base. This is very beneficial for when a sleeping baby will be spending extensive time in the seat as the more-upright position that the typical carseat design places a baby in isn’t ideal for breathing, and also may not be ideal for spinal development. The downside is that the seat weighs 13 pounds. I guess I better start doing some strength training:)

3: Christmas Break - We had an amazingly nice Christmas break and it is going to be tough going back on Monday!
