I went to my 32wk OB appointment yesterday morning. I did some research beforehand and finally asked the measurements of my belly since I now knew what they actually meant. For a while there in my first trimester baby was measuring a week ahead. I haven’t asked for a while since I just knew we would be having another big baby.
But I didn’t expect this……now at 32 weeks the baby and belly has gotten so big that I’m literally measuring 36 weeks. A full MONTH bigger. LOL what!?! That is so insane to me. No wonder my symptoms are the way they are. Tiredness starting mid-day now,etc.
Man I really don’t get how genes work. My husband and I are somewhat average/small builds yet our first baby was over 10lbs & 22″ at birth. I swear I’m going to have a 12lb-er this time…cause there’s SEVEN WEEKS left of this pregnancy lolololol……No wonder I feel so tired come early afternoon! By the time I hit 40wks, I’ll technically be measuring 44+weeks or more.Â

As of September, it’s been 6 months since my son has seen his friends. He gets it man, at 2.5 years old he talks about them daily, especially when we have our nightly chat before he goes to bed. He asks me what they’re doing, wondering what they too are doing throughout the days. We facetime a handful of times but it’s not the same really, is it?
I’m primarily a homebody and could stay home for ages, but seeing my little guy this way is heartbreaking. In California the rates of COVID haven’t really gone down significantly enough for us to be comfortable to socialize with others. So, waiting it out is what we’re doing. It’s tough on my little guy. Luckily I’m a SAHM so I can cater to his needs, but it’s also been tough when we “have” to stay inside due to the poor air quality. 
To get some of that toddler energy out of him, and his mind off not being able to see his little pals we’ve been playing outside mostly this summer. All by ourselves.
That, and it’s fantastic to breathe in some fresh air after the horrible wildfires around California making the air quality so unhealthy we couldn’t step outside. For a while there, we really took fresh air for granted. We hadn’t felt comfortable leaving our house to go for walks outside since the air quality was horrible. Especially with a toddler with young lungs, and me being pregnant. Here’s bebs and I enjoying the better weather, waiting for the cooler temps to roll on in. Taking full advantage of the California sunshine. Gettin’ all that vitamin D in! #sponsored I shopped on Zappos for my

We venture out to the forest on hot days to stay clear of the scorching sunshine and stay cool in the shade and explore together. These photos were from 2wks ago or so – since now we’re not heading out of our house at all, due to all of the smoke from the forest fires that have been burning for the last week.
