Fourth of July 2017

Well my husband declared this Fourth of July as the best ever, and I have to agree!  Rhett is learning so much every day so everything is awe-inspiring to him.  I love watching him learn and experience new things.  We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast together then to our friends for a lunch cookout (I forgot to take pics there), and finally to the Patriot for food trucks and fireworks with friends.  Rhett tried his first popsicle and saw fireworks for the first time and wasn't scared!  Needless to say, he had a blast so prepare for picture overload from our day.

Also, this post is a week later than I wanted to publish it, but such is life when your kid is down to one nap for 1.5 hours a day :/  Photo credits to Scarlett since she was able to get Rhett to smile in our family pics towards the end of the night even when he hadn't taken a nap all day long.  Best laid plans sometimes fail..
 Once Rhett found the basketball goal, we couldn't keep him away!

Pregnancy Update Brady

 

Well I honestly cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone compared to Rhett.  Time is flying by!  I'm 25 weeks now which means there are 15 weeks left.  Yikes! I am really needing to get my birth book back out and start mentally preparing for Brady boy to get here.  I am planning on another natural birth (Lord willing) so need to get prepared for all things labor & delivery.

I'm thankful to be having another boy as I'll be able to reuse so many of Rhett's things.  I decided to go with navy and white for Brady's nursery as well since I'll eventually put the boys in the same room which means I bought the same curtains, sheets, dresser (yes, exactly the same dresser since we found it on super sale haha).

This pregnancy has been really similar to Rhett's as well.  I'm still working out 2-3 times a week and trying to walk on the days I don't workout although this Oklahoma heat is killing me.  Whew, breathing is hard while pushing Rhett in a stroller and keeping up with Bear.  I haven't had any weird cravings.. Ok well I've had some cravings (pink & white iced animal cookies, grape juice, cheeto puffs), but usually once I satisfy that craving, I'm good.  Like I finally gave into the Burger King craving I've had for a month (wasn't worth it), but now I'm good.  No more BK lol!  I've been keeping better track of my weight gain with Brady so really need to lay off the random cravings in order to stick with a steady weight gain ;)
