Milestones: 30 weeks, into the 3rd trimester already. Preparing for little man more and more every day.

We are still enjoying every second of this pregnancy since I know how fast it can end. Carson loves to roll around and is now putting his little toes in my right ribs... thanks... lol. He has his patterns, likes to roll around at night after I get up to go to the bathroom, or after Grant gets up to shower and right before he wakes me up Carson is usually up and tossing around while I am still laying down.

Grant also keeps reminding me to stay calm and relax. It is so hard not to think, "what if" -- he comes early, what will we do with aryssa, who will watch her, how will it effect her?!?! just those goofy questions that I have no control over. I think about it a lot and know that isn't good. I need to let go and let God as they say. Put the trust in his hands, I have a baby growing in me that is all that matters, everyday is one day stronger. We are just praying with the shots every week and FFN test every other week that we will be prepared or delay his arrival. My guess is he is going to come the week of Thanksgiving. It seems to be a Kolbe thing. All three of us (my sister in laws) had our first children by a holiday. K- was Labor Day, E- was Thanksgiving, and Aryssa was Halloween. So my guess is that week. I could go for November 22, that is my sister and brother in laws anniversary :) But he will come when he is ready. But grant thinks the same thing, he said he just has a feeling that he will be here just before thanksgiving. What a gift to be thankful for :)
