Pregnancy update {Baby #5}

This pregnancy is flying by so quickly! I am currently 33 weeks along! 

26 weeks

It is so different being (big) pregnant during the summer! I get worn out so much faster than I ever remember. It's been kind of hard for me because my kids love to be outside all the time and normally we spend most of the summer outside, but this year, we are spending a lot of time inside reading. We try to get out in the morning and in the evening when it's a little cooler.

28 weeks

My energy has been good the last few weeks. I was feeling draggy last month, but once my iron and b vitamins were increased, I've been doing much better. I'm slowly filling my freezer with meals, parts of meals, and baked goods. We just got a quarter of grass-fed beef, so I don't have as much freezer space to work with as I have during other pregnancies. I am also slowly (verrrry slowly) getting things marked off my to-do before baby list. :) 

29 weeks on my 30 birthday :)

I'm still working out at the gym 3 days a week and doing exercises/stretches at home. I'm sleeping great and only wake up at night if a child wakes up or I have a pregnancy nightmare. haha

Comparison :: 30 weeks with Ava on the left, 31 weeks with Baby #5 on the right.

The baby is doing great! He/she is measuring about 3 weeks behind, but that is very normal for me and my babies. 

33 weeks.

I'm so thankful every day for the precious little life growing inside me. Even though it's my 5th baby, I can still hardly fathom the amazing creation I have the privilege to grow! I'm so excited to meet this precious little one!
