Pregnancy Update 🤰💙

It’s been so long since we last updated our travel blog, and there’s good reason for that – we promise! 😅 We’re still supr pregnant and taking things a bit slow. This pregnancy has been one complication after the next, and we’re so close to the end. If you guys could imagine, we’re getting so anxious to meet our little man.

Gracie and Rylan will be sharing a room together. Zack and I laugh because of the thought of pink and gray elephants, mixed with green, blue and red dinosaurs, but Gracie is all about it 🦕🐘

His crib is all set up and waiting for him, car seat is installed, all of his baby clothes, blankets, special dinosaur blankie, burp clothes, bibs, bath towels, hats, little socks, EVERYTHING – is washed. Hospital bag packed. We. Are. Ready. Needless to say.

All except… He is way to snug in mommy’s tummy. I don’t think he has any plans of coming out all on his own. We’ve had a lot of sonograms this pregnancy – way more then we ever did with Gracie – because they are concerned that he is measuring small. Our last sonogram he weighed 5lbs, 11oz. We’re 38 weeks pregnant as of today (09/19/2019), and I am honestly not too concerned. Gracie broke my water at 38 1/2 weeks and when she was born she weighed 6lbs, 8oz. I think genetically I’m not meant to carry 9lb babies, which… If I’m being honest is okay with me 😅

We eat like crazy. Trust me, this little boy has an appetite, so I’m not in the slightest bit worried. But, due to his “small growth”, they want to induce us at 39 weeks. We’re praying all goes well. We’re not dilating, or effaced. NOTHING is happening leading us to believe he may come sooner, but Zack is confident my water will break again, naturally on Tuesday sometime – two days before our induction day. I would be totally okay with that if that were the case, but I don’t see it happening. This little boy is stubborn you guys 🙆

We are thrilled to meet our baby boy so soon though, and we cannot wait to begin our travel adventures again. For now though, we’re enjoying the very little time we do have left as a family of three before we become a family of four 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 plus 3 fur babies 🐕🐈🐈

We are going to make a blog post on Gracie’s birth story. And when baby brother arrives, we’ll make one for his as well, so stay tuned! ♥️

In the meantime, enjoy these cute pictures of our most recent family fun day enjoying fall festivities, feeding a camel, face painting, pumpkin picking, and enjoying a delicious dinner date 😋
