30.5 weeks down!

Weight gain: About 30 lbs.
Stretch marks: None, yay!
Movement: Yes, she's more of a mover than ever
Cravings: McD's french fries and salad...still.
Sleep: Getting better!
Best moment this week: When Taylor points at the belly and says baby...and gives it kisses. LOVE. Bonus: Worst moment was finding out I had strep...again! Booo! Double bonus: We did our 4D ultra sound 2 weeks ago and she's going to be another cutie! Long fingers and toes, already had a lot of hair, she's going to be tall. Measuring 16" so far, 3.26 lbs, also expected to arrive a few days early (which I guessed)
Gender: Girl.
Labor signs: Nada
What I miss: Being more nimble. I miss comfortably carrying Taylor around, and she loves being held/carried.
What I'm looking forward to: Start getting stuff done around the house!! Need to really get on that.
Weekly wisdom: Don't allow yourself to be surrounded by negativity, even if it comes from someone close.
Milestones: Just hit 30 weeks. Can't believe we only have 10 weeks to go!

Taylor's first Giant's Game!

Due to unexpected change of plans, our date night to a Giants game turned into a family trip.

We were SO nervous about taking Taylor, thinking....she's too young, too hyper and its going to be too late to actually enjoy it. We thought she wouldn't sit still, make it an anxious experience and we'd leave after one inning.

Well, we were wrong! She did great! We had wonderful seats (thank you cousin Idin)...she enjoyed watching the game and people watching. We even had Lou Seal and other mascots standing nearby that peaked her interest as well. Everytime we'd say "Goooo Giants!" she would say "Goooo Budgies!" (not sure why she said budgies as that's her work for butterflies. Our girl, such a funny one.

Bringing her lots of treats and a couple of little walks really helped.

We can't wait to take her to another game!

New weekend ritual - Oak Meadow Park

I practically grew up at this park and it is so cool that I get to live close enough to take my kiddo there too!

For the last 3 weeks, i've taken Taylor to Oak Meadow park. We've ridden the carousel (she's no longer afraid of sitting on the horses and demands I sit on the horse next to her) and gone on the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad every single time. She looooves it. She calls out to the ducks (in her words, Kaakaa) every time we pass them. They're actually geese, but its just too cute to correct her. I hadn't been on that train since I was probably 10 years old so i'm glad we get to share the experience.

She loves the playground there and loves dancing on the stage. So fun!
