Baby #3 Belly Pics

Just a few pics I've taken as the belly has grown!

This pregnancy has been pretty typical weight gain and belly shape as the other two.  I'm up about 30 pounds (with 10 days left!) and have a huge round belly all out front.  Don't get me wrong, I've gained weight all over (even outgrown workout shorts and maternity pants that I could wear with the other 2 pregnancies) but everyone does comment how it's just a round basketball--getting more beach ball--shape out front.  

A look back to around 28 weeks


Around 30 weeks pregnant and headed to the Prom!


We'll sidetrack here with a couple Prom decoration pics...the theme was Glitz and Glam and it was held at the Ball Conference Center.  It was pretty simple but turned out really well.  (I only snapped a few pics.)

Our main decor piece was the balloon gazebo over the dance floor--this was it at the end of the night after clean-up.

Back to the bellies...just estimating here I think Christy was 38 weeks, I was around 32 weeks and Cindy about 25 weeks.  Team Keeley gains 3 grandkids this summer!

About 33 weeks.

About 35 weeks--after I broke down and bought some clothes that I could wear for warmer weather.  I now wear this pretty much every single day.

The Sauder side is also gaining 2 grandkids this summer/fall!  Cousins all around!  My mom was very adamant that we get a pic together.  I'm 36 weeks and Gentry is 21 weeks here.  Gentry and I do not have the same body-type (I'd trade her for her skinny legs and tiny ankles any day!) but it looks like she may be a "huge bump all out front" type pregnant lady also!

When I finally dug a little deeper in the maternity clothes tub I found some shorts I wore post-pregnancy last time and a maternity tank.  Yippee for one more outfit that I can wear in this heat!

37 Weeks

38 Weeks...that point where you outgrow the maternity shirts even...

Yes, my selfies leave much to be desired, but you get the point.  I have a big pregnant belly.  10 days and counting!

Spring-time Fun!!

A little bit of a Spring photo-dump today of fun things we did in May!

Cade and Reese had Ms. Dora's class spring program on May 4th.  There were 8 kids "graduating" and going on to Kindergarten next year so there will be a lot of new faces at Ms. Dora's in the fall!





It is always so fun to hear all that they've been learning and working on at Ms. Dora's!  The kids have learned so much, we are so glad the kids had the opportunity to go there!


A little crafting...

A quick trip to Deanna Rose.

Reese has been the assistant hydration specialist for the flowers on the front porch and back deck.  She's an excellent helper!


We decided we better take in a Royals game before it got too crazy hot and before the baby arrived so we went on a Sunday in mid-May  It was a perfect little Sunday!.

The kids were content to chill out at the Outfield Experience for as long as we'd let them.





We did sit down for a little bit, and had snacks, of course!



I have kinda taken a liking to wearing Matt's Royals jersey instead of my own (entirely too small now) t-shirts.  It is hard to see the bump...unless I turn to the side.  Then it's pretty prominent!  This was at about 33 weeks.

Cade is 6!!!

On May 5th we celebrated the 6th birthday of our first-born!  Cue the tears...it's just hard to believe, six sounds SO OLD!!!

Our handsome 6-year-old.  We celebrated with ice cream cake on May 4th since the kids had their spring program for Ms. Dora's class and the grandparents came to town.

On the actual birthday we usually go to Chuck E. Cheese, but the six-year-old was feeling too mature for that and opted for Texas Roadhouse instead.  No complaints here!

A big "yee-haw!" for the birthday boy!


And the final celebration, the party with friends.

 
Much like Reese's party...we were supposed to have it at Backyard Specialists outdoor playground (because we had our deposit paid still from Reese's cancelled party) but rain was predicted so we went with Plan B.  (Or Plan C I suppose since Reese's party at our house was Plan B.)  We probably should have planned on this from the start!  We used the upper gym and alumni room at MNU and brought the bounce house (of course!) and made an obstacle course for the kids.  Keeleys live for timed-obstacle courses!



The gang.




The birthday banner goes wherever the party goes!

Preggos know how to party...

Christy gave birth to Max on May 16, next up baby boy Keeley and then Cindy is due with baby girl Beck in late August!

Cade continues to teach us so much.  I think he's one of the coolest kids around as he's always saying off-the-wall hilarious things that surprise me so much.  He's super observant, has taken a liking to HGTV shows with me, is very smart and quick-witted, loves following the Royals and playing baseball and basketball.  I'm very thankful for the privilege to be his mom and have him in my life!  We love you, Cader!
