Marc & Lindsay Duncan Family: Still pregnant

I am 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant today. It is officially the most pregnant I have ever been. I am so thrilled to get more and more pregnant. I was so worried when I found out I was dilated at 28 weeks that I wasn't going to make it long, but as every day passes I get more and more confident that I can carry this baby to term. My doctor is doing an amazing job and keeping a close eye on me. I have very few restrictions that I can't do now and he checks me every week. Funny how much we care and worry about our little babies before they are even here. Funny or draining.

Trying to figure out selfies. Is there anything more awkward. But I have to document my belly. (Striped shirt is 30 Weeks and white shirt is 31 Weeks)

Jude has been a little sweetheart. He was acting out when I first got put on bed rest. I think he also picked up on our emotions and was confused how to act. I do feel like I have my sweet little Jude-O back now. All he wants to do ALL day EVERY day is play avengers. He needs a buddy so badly. I feel so bad he has to settle for his boring Mom and Dad. Although, I love how much he loves us. I fear for the day we are no longer cool to him. Lately, when Daddy gets home from work Jude waits and giggles at the top of the stairs with giddy excitement and then lunges down the stairs into his arms once he comes into sight. I can tell Daddy feels like a hero every time he comes around that corner. Jude right now answers every question with the sweetest upbeat "sure." I love it so much. It is truly adorable. He is so smart and is the best negotiator I have ever seen. He is constantly negotiating 3 more minutes. As if he has a clue for how long that really is. He still wears his Captain America costume everyday and almost all day. It is starting to fall apart despite my efforts to repair it. It just can't with stand the wear of a crime fighting three year old. It keeps his regular clothes really clean and perfect, They will make amazing hand-me-downs for little brother someday. Jude also only naps maybe 1-2 times a weeks and is starting to wake up in the mornings earlier and earlier. Not totally sure what that's all about. I hope this phase passes quickly. He is super sweet about it. He come creeping into our room and stands by the door until I stir and I lift my blankets and he comes running and climbs in, and he can spoon like no other. It is the best!! It definitely eases the sting of how early it is.

All things Captain. I wonder is he is dreaming of him too.

Grandma D hooked us up with some fun sugar cookies to decorate and I made the horrible mistake of walking away from him with sprinkles within reach. Lesson learned.

We take lots and lots of baths these days. It's a fun way to let him play and I can rest a little.

I love love love that I can stand in one spot and see both my boys beds.

Actually wanted his picture taken. Funny what happens when you're trying to take a picture of the dog. Can't imagine when the baby comes.

She gets to play the bad guy.

I have got to give it to this little turkey. He's been to his fair share of Doctors appointment and hospital monitorings and is such a freaking champ.

Daddy got to snuggle the other morning. (Those are Valentine balloon strings)

Grandma pat brought Jude a cute little Captain America guy for valentines. Grandmas rule. Grandma D got him a darling book too that I spaced getting a picture of.

He has been Daddy's little side kick these last few weeks.

Daddy took him tubing on President's Day and we had sooo much fun. I Just love Marc's enthusiasm. After the first run they did he walks up to me and says "That is the funnest thing I have ever done!"
