Belly shot and yes, I am wearing my maternity jeans because they are so much more comfortable than wearing regular jeans with a Bella Band especially because I am carrying much lower this pregnancy.  

This past week Abby and I had MOPS again and while I had fun, it turns out that unbeknownst to me, Abby wasn't feeling well and her MOPPETS teacher told me that she was calling for me and sad the whole time, but since she wasn't screaming or in pain, they didn't call me to get her.  I felt so bad to hear she wasn't feeling it this week.  When she woke up from her nap after MOPS, I found out she was running a slight fever and had diarrhea, so I am hoping that is why she was acting so odd at MOPS and not because she doesn't like it! 

Abby was sick for about two days and then I got what she had for about a day and let me just say, I am ready for us to all be done with being sick!  Everyone is feeling better now though, so we were able to go to the library and some of our other normal week-time activities and it was really nice to get out.  

I have been alternating my prenatal pilates workouts with Summer Saunders' Prenatal Workout and I really like how strong I feel.  It is mostly a resistance band workout and I have just moved up a resistance level and love it!  I think it is great because they have a full workout and an express workout so no matter how much time you have, you can get a good workout in.  It also has trimester-specific workouts to keep you and baby safe! 

Abby has been singing about everything lately and it is so adorable.  She will sing about what she is doing, about her babies, about the dogs, and the list goes on.  It just furthers my belief that Abby is, in fact, a Disney princess. 

Abby with her new princess doll.  It is obviously Cinderella but she named her "Blue."  

Also, whenever I am in public and people ask about Shane and his due date, Abby will tap or hug my belly and say "Baby Shane" and then give him kisses.  It is so sweet and I love that she knows that there is a baby in there and that his name is Shane and that it is her brother.  

This week I met with a potential doula and really liked her.  I am hoping that she and Rock really get along when they meet so I can be done with my search for a doula.  I will keep you all updated!  

This upcoming week we have two big outdoor events, one in our neighborhood, the other at the lake, and I am hoping that the weather holds out so we can have a great time.  

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and holy cow!  Is it really OCTOBER in TWO days?!  YES!!!
