So last weekend Brandon and I were able to go on our growth group retreat. It was tons of fun but it's amazing how tired you end up being once your home. You always think you come home more relaxed then before you went but maybe being 7 months pregnant changes that. Still, we really enjoyed getting away for the weekend with all adult conversation!!
This week has been a little rougher. Before we left my grandparents had the flu, then my dad and my uncle got it. We thought all was well but Monday night Julia got it. It is so sad when little kids throw up. They just don't get what is going on with their little bodies and you can just see the confusion in their eyes wondering why is my tummy doing this? Luckily it was just Monday night and by Tuesday Julia was jumping off the couch again. So, anyways we thought we were in the clear...nope, my mom got the flu later in the week, and Brandon got it this weekend. I am totally praying all these pregnancy immunities keep the flu away from me!! The house is disinfected and I just keep taking pre-natal pills, they really are amazing!
So Julia is now in a big girl bed, even through the flu she has managed to stay in it...well not totally stay in it, but overall sleep in it. We haven't put her crib back together, but some days, or nights are definitely better then others. This is the first day since the big girl bed that she hasn't taken a nap though. That is pretty much just a bummer for me though because I loose my brake during the day. Oh, well i'm sure I will get it tomorrow because she will be so tired from not taking a nap today! The biggest change from sleeping in a big girl bed is that my wonderful sleeping beauty does not sleep as long...ugg. Julia used to sleep until 8:00 or 8:30 (i know i was spoiled) and now wakes up at like 6:45...bummer. I guess she is preparing my for the new baby.
Speaking of the new baby, right now we have two names we like: Cole and Connor. Last week I liked Connor way better, this week I like Cole better. The mind of this pregnant lady is always changing. What I do know is that this boy is a mover!! He kicks, he turns, he bounces, and gets the hiccups. It's pretty fun, but he is starting to get strong!!
Soon after these pictures were taken of me cuddling with Julia in her bed...I fell out. Ouch! I think we need to put her twin bed up soon, because I so am going to brake her crib at this rate!
This is my 30 week picture, I can't believe I still have 2 months left. I might stop taking pictures soon, it's is kind-of depressing how huge my belly is.
This is how I really feel!

Thanks for the updates! Glad to hear the big girl bed is working and I wouldn't worry too much about the sleeping thing...Peyton has always been an 8-8:30 sleeper and a while back she all the sudden started waking up at 6, 6:30..and it killed me. That lasted maybe a couple weeks and now she is usually up around 7:30 or 8 pretty consistently! I think they just have to adjust to sleeping in a different bed! I like both names you have picked out and you are NOT huge..you look really good. You are all tummy! I can't believe you are 30 weeks already! wow. Our little boys are going to be here before we know it:) ps. you are brave for laying in Julia's bed..I hesitate to even sit on Peyton's because I'm afraid I'll break it:)
