30 Weeks, Last Sonogram and Monkey Mason

So I'm about 30 1/2 weeks pregnant now and getting a bit bigger every day. I've still only gained about 6 pounds though from what my normal weight is. With Mason I gained the most in the very last month so I'm anxious to see where I end up. I feel like I look a lot smaller in pictures and may even be a bit smaller than before. In the last two weeks I feel like the baby has dropped from where it was. I kind of felt that way and then I went to the office and Sandy took one look at me and said, whoa, you are a lot lower! We had our last sonogram on Friday, hard to believe. Baby was hiding it's face again so we didn't really get any good pictures. Baby has big feet, just like Mason, is butt up, just like Mason, and is super active. I feel like it's jumping around all the time. The heartbeat was in the 150's friday, a lot higher than what it had been in the previous weeks. I still have NO CLUE what it is. I have had no dreams, no hunches...it's so weird, I'm literally clueless.
Let's see, in the two weeks I have found out friend after friend is pregnant and I couldn't be more excited. Don and Amy are having twins. I cried when I found out for pure joy and thankfullness to God for them. I have prayed so hard for them to be able to get pregnant and be the parents I know they can be and god has truly blessed them. I couldn't be more thrilled. Leslie and Dustin Tommerup is also expecting in September and so are two of my Junior League girls in my Provisional Group, Sarah and Meghan. Babies are everywhere and I'm so excited to be a part of each one of them.
This week I got the stomach bug, which was SUPER fun being 30 weeks pregnant. I'm very happy to be feeling better but now Ryon has it. We've had this thing like four times already and the last time was only like three weeks ago. It sucks and I'm so tired of it. Mason hasn't gotten it yet this time though.
Mason is part monkey these days. He's climbing on everything and we've had several huge falls, but no ER visits yet, it's coming very soon I'm sure. I love to watch him figure out how to get on top of what he wants. He's very strategic about pushing his toys up to something else and then climbing on one of them to get to the other. It's very impressive. Today he climbed in his high chair. Ryon and I were eating lunch right there and we looked over and he was standing in his high chair....??!!! Now that the weather is so great, we are spending our mornings running errands and playing outside. We are outside most of the day when he's awake now. The air park is pretty close to our house and he can spot an air plane from a mile away and find it in the air, loves to watch them fly over our house. It's a great way to spend the days. Ryon got a riding lawn mower this week so that has been good entertainment as well. Mason loves it of course and so does Ryon. The yard looks great already. He is starting to make new noises. He kind of says good job and Bradley. I started teaching him "done" last week in sign language and he's already caught on and doing it. It's true what they say about them being sponges right now. We can tell his voice and different sounds are really coming around though, which is very exciting! His hair is also growing so fast right now, I love it. We've worked hard for every hair on that head. He won't eat anything. It's so annoying. He'll eat hotdogs and pineapple, and mac and cheese. Thank goodness the Dr. told me about the vitamins because I'd really worry about him. This stage too shall pass I'm sure. Right now I'm thankful for the wonderful weather and days and nights spent outside with Mason right now. He's really fun to explore with :)
