a little bit of Brady 31 weeks
31 weeks.
first things first- this belly is LEGIT. I'm carrying him SO much different than I did the twins and Baker. I carried Baker lower than I carried the twins because I wasn't really working out prior to that pregnancy and whatever abdominal muscles I did have weren't much use after a twin belly + bed rest to hold her up as high as I could have. I thought for sure this pregnancy would be different since I had been doing bootcamp both before and after getting pregnant with Brady but those hopes were a complete waste of thought. tops and tees I wore my entire pregnancy with Baker cannot even be forced over half of my belly now at 31 weeks.
c'est la vie
that being said, I have discovered that I am most comfortable in midi dresses and sneakers.. the weather has been so random and hitting upwards of 70 degrees here in Dallas, so I've been able to get away with this kind of comfort wear in.. January.
and if I am at home its rare you'll catch me in anything else far from my pink blush pajama pants and a pure body tee from Gap.

we went for my 31 week check up with my OB yesterday. Baker tagged along while the twins were at preschool and she was just the cutest little thing while we watched baby brother dance on the sonogram screen. her little surprised face when Brady's heartbeat came loud of over monitor at 170bpm. she has no idea the changes that are about to happen in the short weeks to come, but she sure was proud to tote around that sonogram picture of her little brother for the rest of the day.
Brady update
our little man is growing perfectly- and for the first time he's literally right on track for gestational age. he's been measuring at least a week or two ahead from the very get go, and yesterday I was 32 weeks and 2 days and he's measuring 32 weeks and 3 days.
four whole pounds of baby boy in this belly- with perfect little lips and button nose, and HOLY cheeks!! he also wouldn't keep his hands out of his mouth.
I just cannot WAIT to meet him!!
after swooning over his little face long enough (but its never long enough, am I right??) the sonographer got down to business in checking out all the important things.. good news is that the fluid around Brady's right kidney has completely resolved itself, but the not so great news is that the fluid around his left kidney has significantly increased since the last time we checked him out. he's laying on his left side and she kept having trouble getting a good look at the kidney because of the shadows of his ribs kept showing up on the sono.. but from the measurements she got it jumped up in size a lot. SO- that means we are going back to our perinatologist next week to hopefully get a better look and idea of how that kidney is actually doing and if the measurements were just off because of how he's positioned. if that kidney truly is compromised, which we hope and pray it isn't, he might be making his debut a couple weeks early.
again, with all the unknown about this, its all a little overwhelming to think about. we have had our fair share of high risk "complications" and taken the proper precautions with pregnancies before and our girls have all been born perfectly fine and healthy, but the waiting game kills me on all this.

mama update
well. apparently I'm really sick. I've been battling cough and congestion for about a week now and chalked it up to allergies and after being scolded by my OB and repeated "I told you so" from Jordan.. I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Walsh could hear me two rooms down hacking up a lung while waiting my turn to be seen and the first thing she did when she walked in the room was listen to my chest and lungs and made me promise to stay in bed for the next two days.
"you look like death on a platter, girl. go to bed."
other things.. the polyhydramnios has remained stable! my fluid levels haven't changed much, yet again, which is a relief. I could tell by the way I've been feeling the last week or so that I was less tight and more comfortable while sitting, standing, laying.. a couple weeks ago I didn't even feel like I could bend over or eat much more than toast or cereal at meal times.. and when sitting or laying I felt like I was suffocating because of the weight. BUT thankfully that has resolved, more or less. I'm still measuring about a month ahead, but no where near like I was.
since taking those steroids at 29 weeks to encourage Brady's lung development in case he does happen to come earlier than planned, the braxton hicks have been NONSTOP. she did say that this would be a side effect of the steroids, and so she prescribed me procardia to take twice a day. I took procardia in my pregnancy with the twins when I went into preterm labor and was placed on bed rest, so I know the drill.
no bed rest at this point because all looks well with that, but just to be safe and keep those contractions at bay for these remaining weeks this is the plan.
so. this is basically my life right now.
ridiculous. but feeling better and sleeping better AND keeping Brady put for at least 8 more weeks is on the immediate agenda.
for now, I'm soaking up these moments with my girls before this baby boy comes. Baker has all the sudden become SO BIG and I can't hardly stand it.
Parker and Jolie ask every single day when its time for baby brother to come out.
thinking about Brady being my last baby is by far the most emotional part about all of this. I love being a mom. I love carrying a baby. I love the newborn stage, even when I'm running on coffee and 2 hours of sleep. I love to watch my older kids grow and bond and accept the new addition. thinking that this will be my last time to do all that over again is hard.
hard.hard.hard.
but Brady boy, you are already SO loved and we are over the moon to add you into this mix of crazy.

Aug 27 My Little Punk
Me: "Truman, I want to surprise daddy with an iPad for his birthday this year. It's something he's wanted for a long time and I think he will be super excited to open this special gift from us." (Also, I have to redeem myself from last year's gift of new bed sheets. #fail)
T: "Can I tell daddy he is getting a present from us?"
Me: "Sure, but please don't spoil the surprise about it being an iPad. Then we will have to think of something else for him, because I really want it to be a surprise this year."
T: (as Nate walked in for his part of bedtime songs) "Daddy, we are going to get you an----(Nate slams his hand over T's mouth). An---(same thing as before). We are going to get you something GoGo has."
Awesome, he's totally going to give it away. But I walk out after telling T to please not tell our secret. I know we are doomed at this point and my awesome idea will be a total let down.
Nate then came downstairs to say that during his nightly rendition of 'Twinkle Twinkle', Truman simply sang the word 'iPad' over and over again.....in perfect pitch to the song, right along with Nate's real lyrics.
Sweet.
Lesson learned: Never trust a three year old with a secret. Duh.
Do not blame Monkey, Truman. This one is all you ;)

a little bit of brady 22 weeks pink blush giveaway
time for another bump-date! at least I'm not gracing you with my belly every week like I have in the pregnancies past. I wouldn't be able to commit to that right now.. life is SO insane. but I do like to give a little update every time I get to go to my OB for a check up and especially when I get to see our little guy.
OMG, but little HE IS NOT. lets talk about our growing babe for a minute, shall we?
weighing in at 1 pound and 5 ounces he's measuring about 2 weeks ahead for gestation. which makes sense because my preggo belly is also measuring over 24 weeks when I just hit that 22 week mark on Sunday. LOOK at those legs. and his feet! my OB likes for the perinatologist to follow all her pregnancies, so I met Dr. Koster when I was pregnant with the twins and have continued to see her a few times while pregnant since. I always go between 22-24 weeks for a sonogram because according to my OB thats the opportune time for measurement of brain development. when she started the scan the first thing I saw was his foot. my eyes got big and I said out loud- what that his FOOT? it was huge!
I feel so bad for him so cramped up! I don't ever remember having my girls curled up in a ball like that. sweet guy. I couldn't help but laugh and laugh every time I got a full view of him laid up in there or a shot of his legs or his feet. truth is that it doesn't surprise me at all one bit about his length- my dad and three brothers all are 6 foot 3 and above.. my middle brother is about 6 foot 5. I could have potentially been very tall.. and I am for a girl. Jordan isn't a little guy, either.
brother is just growing along just as the others before him did.
he's healthy with a strong heartbeat at 143bpm and while he is measuring on the larger end for gestation my OB assured me that he's totally symmetrical:) he did have some fluid around his kidneys- everything else seemed to be filtering like normal but we just have to watch that to make sure the fluid doesn't increase or cause other problems. apparently thats really common to see in baby boys in the womb and it usually resolves itself by the time he's delivered. my fluid is a little elevated like it was in my pregnancy with Baker, so with both of those components in the mix it means I'll get serial sonograms to follow and make sure all is well for both mama and baby boy.
fine by me!
as for this mama.. feeling "great" finally, I suppose. two weeks ago when we all had a stomach bug it took me 5 days to feel back to normal. it really knocked me on my rear and I couldnt help but be so exhausted after the smallest amount of activity. my eating habits haven't been normal since then, either. I also have been getting REALLY full after eating even the smallest of meals.
my daily meal schedule might usually look like:
breakfast: toast or cereal with coffee
lunch: grilled cheese or a cup soup with a small salad
dinner.. more cereal.
after lunch is usually when I feel the most uncomfortable and am so miserable for hours! which makes it hard to eat a solid dinner. I don't feel sick, just full.
basically, this is common for me in pregnancy but not until around 32-35 weeks. its happening way early this time around and with the stomach bug a couple weeks ago and me not being able to eat a lot at all.. I lost a pound in the month since I last went to the doctor. my OB isn't super concerned because he's growing well and above average, but I need something to help speed up my digestion and make it easier for me to eat so he doesn't eventually reap the effects of me not eating well in the most important times of growth for him.
so she prescribed me a low dose of protonix once a day to see if that helps.
other things.. I haven't been working out very much, I'm sleeping like a rock, and I feel him move ALL DAY, which I totally LOVE. I love to feel him move.
I STILL cant believe we finally have a name for this little guy. I feel weird calling him little after seeing his outrageous legs and feet at our scan yesterday..and his hands were huge, too. I am still laughing about it!
we went around and around about naming this boy- we had a girl name set and ready to go. we were excited, ready, good. our fourth girl on the way. but when that balloon popped BLUE we both were like..
holy cow.. now, what in the world.. is this real life??
I immediately threw out all of my "original" boy names- boy names that we had been discussing for the last 8 or so years since we started talking about kids. they all of the sudden weren't "good enough" because part of me was doubtful I would ever get the chance to be a mother to three babies let alone FOUR. and then other parts of me, and Jordan has admitted this as well, thought that having a boy just wasn't in the cards for us. SO, who knew if I would ever get the chance to actually use those names I had listed on the "boy" column.
this new adventure was a giant leap into uncharted territory for the both of us- and it started with the very best name we could settle on. so much freaking pressure.
Jordan is very adamant about using a family name for the middle name. All of our kids have been named after a matriarch of the family, and so when it came to naming our fourth, he also was going to follow suit. Parker Jane is named after Granny Jane on the Fort side of Jordan's mom's side, Jolie Grace is named after Jordan's Meme on the Massey side, and Baker Bree is named after our tremendously loved BB. there are a lot of women on both sides of the family. A LOT. so we ventured over to the Huey side (my family) so see if anything we loved.. which again, I thought just wasn't ever in the cards for me and still nothing stuck out as perfect.
with all three of my girls I had this feeling of peace and "oh my that is it, thats the name" and I just wasn't having it with our baby boy.
Brady has always been one we like, and like the name Baker, it was a name that I wasn't completely struck by or even remembered that I had threw it on the list at some point.
but when it came down to naming a BOY it was good. we loved it. but the giant problem was that we didn't love any middle name we came up to go with it.
I was drinking coffee one Saturday morning shortly after the gender reveal- maybe even that next weekend.. and texting back and forth with a friend about name ideas..Jordan was at the fire station and it hit me.
what about Brady Jordan?
I texted it to Jordan, as it was officially one of the very first name ideas either of us had thrown out there. he loved it, but he didn't feel the need to use his name as a middle name since he was getting to keep the Massey name alive.
but, dude, you will be the most important man in his life- so why not?!
over the last couple months we have been playing around with other names, calling him by those for a couple days and still nothing felt right. we started to get way off base from what we had originally discussed and I was getting anxious.. so on our road trip to visit my parents a couple weeks back I cornered Jordan in the car for the three hour drive we had ahead of us with threats from his pregnant wife.
"we are going to decide on a name."
..and so we did. we went back to our original name and finally felt that ah-ha moment that we had with the three before him.
there were many reasons we didn't share Baker's name before she was born.. one of which was the family name we had decided on to use for her middle name. this time we didn't have a single reason to keep it hush hush. I was SO proud to be naming our boy after his dad and I wanted to tell everyone. our closest friends and family knew his name the moment we decided and so many parts of me thought it to be fun to let the surprise be when he finally arrives but then again I have typed his name out a million times when talking about him on this blog and finally decided that it was worth the excitement BEFORE he arrives to share the name we ultimately decided on.
those long legs. that button nose- a classic trait we saw on sonograms of Parker + Baker. and his big ol' belly. We cant wait to meet you, Brady!
