How Far Along? 31 Weeks
And this picture shows real life around the Moore house: laundry on the bed, SG running around...probably playing in the potty, and Mommy snapping a picture as fast as she can. I am so so thankful for this life.
Size? Carolina James is about the size of a coconut (18 in., 3.2 lbs) according to my app.
Maternity Clothes? Just got a few new poncho tops and a pair of "worn" jeans. I also discovered, on accident, that when I wear my Lulu yoga pants BACKWARDS, the cover my belly pretty well. HA!
Weight Gain? At my 30 week appointment I weighed 139ish.

Stretch Marks? Nope, Burt's Bees Momma Tummy Lotion. Buttered up just like a greased turkey.
Gender? A sweet, precious, already so loved little sissy, Carolina James
Sleep? Getting a little better. Just over the weekend I started being able to sleep on my side again. HOORAY! Let's hope this lasts!
Movement? ALL the time. I can feel sides of my tummy get hard depending on where she is. I feel kicks and turns all day long. Right now, she's tap dancing and I LOVE it.
Food Cravings? Did I mention that SG and I eat ice cream everyday?
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope
Labor signs? No!
Belly button in or out? Herb has been out and proud for awhile now. He's getting pretty flat actually.
Wedding rings, on or off? On and fitting well.
What I Miss? Nothing.
Symptoms? Just tired and a little sore. I have been wearing the belly support belt and it has helped SO much.
Happy or Moody? Happy. Charlotte Carlstedt (6M) came to visit with her parents this weekend and just seeing her made me even more excited about Carolina James' arrival. Suzanna Grace loved sharing and playing with her too. Towards the end of the day, as she was getting tired, I could see her wanting me to stop paying attention to the baby and love on her only. I am sure that it will be a balancing act that we both/all have to learn.
Dr. Visit Update: I met with Meredith last week and LOVE her. She has delivered many of the Landmark babies and wondered if Wes might put her on the payroll. HAHA. She spent so much time just chatting with me and sharing stories, which I really appreciated. She also told me that St. Mary's is a "baby friendly" hospital which was great to hear. We will be taking a tour later this month.
I was measuring 2 weeks behind (very similar to SG) but Meredith said that everything looked healthy and that at the 34 check-up she'd probably order a sonogram just to check fluid levels and such. Having been through the same thing with SG, I am not worried and just know that my babies like to snuggle up.

Best Moment of the Week/Month: Realizing that Carolina James had the hiccups. What a sweet, sweet feeling.
Carolina James,
I daydream about you all the time. I still can't put my finger on your looks and personality but I know that you will be your own wonderfully unique little Moore girl who loves and is loved by everyone you meet. I pray for you all day and sometimes just sit in your room and enjoy the quiet of the house (this is usually very brief and only when Sissy is sleeping.) You are so loved my precious littlest girlie.
