30 weeks and counting!

I seriously can't believe it's already Thanksgiving! I think that every year when this time rolls around, but this year time flying has a whole new meaning because it means Ryder will be here before we know it....SCARY!

I'm now going to the doctor every 2 weeks, and the last time I went (a week and a half ago), I got my last ultrasound and found out our little man has some chubby cheeks already, but he's still kinda little. He weighed 2.7lbs, and the doctor said that if she were being more specific she'd classify him as a "small/medium" baby. At that appt. she also made her guess for his birth weight. Her hopefully accurate guess is that he'll be between 6.5-7lbs, and that I probably won't go the full 40 weeks (which means I probably only have about 7-9 weeks left). I'm definitely okay with him being small as long as he's healthy because we can get him nice and chunky after he's out! I'll post a picture of his face from the ultrasound, but he wasn't cooperating very well at all, and for whatever reason (maybe I didn't drink enough water or something) the pictures all turned out a little fuzzy, so be forewarned: you may have no idea what you're looking at! I'll try to label without ruining the picture...

I definitely think he's going to have Tristan's round shaped face...we shall see!

On another note, I've always known that I'm a picky person...about food, clothes, etc., but never did I think it was going to be SOOOO hard to find baby bedding that I liked! I'm not into nursery themes really...I'd prefer to have the prints/solids I like, but be able to add in cute stuff without it being all western, or all cars, or all elephants..I'm sure you catch my drift. Finally though, I found a print that I am absolutely in love with! It's really nothing special probably to anyone else, but the colors have my imagination going crazy! But now comes the hard part....I'm going to try to make the crib bumper myself. Probably not the greatest of my ideas, but I really think I can handle it after my last couple of months of Pinterest inspired sewing practice, so wish me luck! Can't wait to post a picture as soon as it's done!! One more picture to post and then I'm done...Ryder's first monogrammed diaper bag is officially ready for showcasing! :)

I wanted the name a little bigger and lower, but it still turned out cute!

Hope everyone has a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving!
