Dear Paisley,


Yesterday, I went to the doctor for my last ultrasound before Swayze gets here! It makes it so real that she'll be here before we know it! All looks good, and she already weighs 4 lbs. 6 oz. and I've got 9 weeks to go! She's going to be a bigger baby than you were....you weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz.!


Here's what's going on lately:
How Far Along: 30 Weeks
Size of Baby: Swayze is the size of a bag of chicken
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 30 lbs!
(And I feel every pound!!!)
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity jeans and pants and some tops, but I try to make the regular stuff I have work! :)
Gender: It's a girl!!! Swayze Katherine Walls
Movement: She moves a LOT at night!
Sleep: Once I get comfy, I'm good, but it sure is hard getting there!
What I miss: Being able to breathe! Bending over! Walking without waddling! Skinny jeans!
Cravings: Anything with sugar....that explains the weight gain! :)
Symptoms: Waddling, eating everything, Braxton Hicks, the usual...
Best Moment this week: Seeing Swayze on the monitor and getting to hear her heartbeat. Oh, and that she is, in fact, still a girl! ;)

It's tough trying to get things organized and ready for your little sister. It's so different with the second one than it is the first. With you, I needed everything, I started from scratch, and everything was all so new and exciting, even buying bottles. With Swayze, there's nothing to buy besides diapers and wipes, and I stay so busy with you, work, and school that I don't have time to really organize anything. I don't know if it's stress or anxiousness that I'm feeling lately, but something is starting to boil up! We are super excited to see how you are going to react to having a new baby around here! It's definitely going to be a fun ride, little missy!
Got to go get ready for Hump Day, especially since it's going to be a fridgid 20-something tomorrow!!!
Love ya babe!
