Ta-Da! This is post-gym and pre-shower, but it's what I've got. I don't know why I've been so terrible at taking pictures this time, but I honestly don't think about it every Sunday as I get my weekly update. I read how big B-Dub is, what he's doing, and go on with my Sunday morning getting ready for church and playing with Reese. I am gaining the same amount of weight, but I do think it's more in the belly than with Reese. I had started to swell a bit by this point with her, but it hasn't happened yet this round.
*Speaking of B-Dub, we had quite a scare last week when at my appointment, the doctor noticed I was all of a sudden measuring 2 weeks small. She sent me to schedule an ultrasound, and I went Friday afternoon to see that B-Dub is actually almost a week ahead of my due date. No concerns with amniotic fluid, placenta, or other issues they had possibly been worried about, and now I just better get ready for baby. Praise the Lord for a good-looking baby!
*About an hour after getting home from the ultrasound, we received word that we had a major hiccup in our house sale. This news may have been taken a bit worse in other circumstances, but after seeing a big, growing baby on the screen, we had perspective on silly house stuff. We spent the weekend and are still working today on settling the issues; we hope to work it all out soon.
*Oh yeah, it looks like we are moving, but we don't know where. We had decided to build a new home, but after our hiccup, we think it's best to buy instead. Now we must figure out where to go, how to fit the move in according to the closing date on our current home, and hope and pray that B-Dub doesn't grow TOO much and feel it necessary to come early.
*NOTHING is done for his nursery or really anything having to do with preparing for baby. I have bedding in mind, some decor in mind, and a crib ready to be borrowed for a few months, but that's it. And somehow I'm not losing my mind. God is good. I also have what I know will be needed the first few weeks of life...gowns, my upper body, and a car seat. That should be enough, right?!
*Reese is talking up a storm, and the way she talks is just about the cutest thing in the world. Her favorite words these days? Pretty. Oh wow. Play-doh. Snack. Apple Juice.
*I could go on and on about Reese these days because she really is so fun and funny right now. Dancing all the time, laughing to make others laugh or at herself, playing with and loving on baby dolls, and the list could continue for at least a mile. I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
That's all for today. I'm going to get in the shower and then figure out a house packing strategy.

You look great, little girl!!
See you soon and we'll get that kitchen all packed up!
Kate, you look great!! And a know a certain grandma that will come up and hold that sweet boy all day if the crib doesn't get set up :) We'll be praying that the house situation smooths out quickly for you guys!
OH WOW!! Life is about to get really crazy for the Walker family! I will be praying for yall to find a house and for the moving to coordinate with your closing and baby boy. So thankful to hear that he is doing great and looking good. I cracked up about the carseat, "upper body" and gowns comment. I think I would be the same way. It's so funny how all the little perfect details go out the window once you have been there before. Wish we could get the kiddos together. Sounds like T, Hud and R would have a great time together. Miss you!! Hoping to come to NWA in the near future.
The second is so different. I didn't get worried about this one either. Having two creates a whole new set of challenges, but all the "stuff" was not a worry. Grab a pack of onsies and you're set. :) Plus, if he has to wear some girl jammies, it's not a big deal. As Adam would say, "Real men wear pink." Ha ha!
