30 Weeks

This pregnancy is flying by!! Half the time I don't feel pregnant (even with my huge belly) and I only have 10 weeks or less to go, crazy!! We've done absolutely nothing to the nursery. Hopefully we'll get down to business soon but the realization of baby sister coming soon hasn't sunk in. We do have a crib so if all else fails, she at least has a place to sleep.



I wanted to document a few things about this pregnancy so I'll remember for the next one :)
.sister's heartbeat was in the mid 140s today
.she likes to stay right behind my belly button or a little to the right. This has made her kicks & big movements uncomfortable. It's also hard to keep Tatum from kneeing her when I hold her
.I definitely have had more heartburn. I only had it a few times with Tatum but I have it almost every night with sister
.I don't feel like sister is as active as Tatum was, but it's probably that I don't notice her movements since I'm busy chasing a 13 month old. She has been moving a lot more the last few nights
.I crave sweets. all.the.time. i haven't even tried to control myself which is terrible, I know. I've gained 22 lbs. I didn't keep track with Tatum but I think I gained 30-35? If I keep goin at this rate, I will blow that number outta the water

13 Months




I wasn't planning on continuing Tatum's monthly updates, but I wanted to document this month just in case I need it for future babies. Mainly her eating schedule since she has never been a big eater and the new baby could be the same.


At 13 months you:
.probably weigh 20 lbs
.wear size 2 shoe (the top of your feet are too chubby for most & your foot is still small for 2s but
we make it work)
.wear size 4 diaper
.wear 12 month clothes, some 12-18
.get 24 oz of formula in a sippy cup(ab to switch to milk since you're eating better)
.you drink 6 oz when you get up in the morning, cereal & fruit 30 min later, snack, lunch, 6 oz before nap, 4 oz after nap, dinner, 8 oz before bed
.you've been teething 2 or 3 top teeth for months & we can finally feel your front right tooth
.you have taken 15 steps by yourself
.wake up between 7-7:30, sometimes take a morning nap, nap from 2-4, bedtime at 8



Tatum you are so much fun. You are the sweetest baby and bring so much joy to our lives. You already love being momma's helper and I have a feeling you are going to be baby sister's momma as well. You are still so hilarious and always keep us laughing!
