So yeah, its been awhile. When I first learned about this pregnancy, I was very excited but also a little scared about how we would manage with a busy little 19 month old (almost 20 now) and a new baby. As time went on, I allowed the encouragement I received from others to sink in and I became busy making plans and getting things ready for this baby. I have had a long list of things I wanted done before the baby came, and while most of these things are of utmost importance only to me, I have made a good dent in that list. Rooms are now painted (its a boy, by the way!!!) and I feel less pressured now that we have a few things replenished such as newborn diapers, thanks to my husband. So now, its starting to become real again that in a few short weeks, another sweet babe will be here taking over, ahem, sharing our home with us.
In all that busyness plus some time of just not feeling like it, I neglected writing even when I had ideas or things I wanted to share. So it will make me feel better to say that Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's day, our 4th anniversary, the big 3-0 for me, plus other milestones for Adam, all happened at our house even though I probably won't be uploading pictures. We're moving forward from here, friends!
I am now at 35 weeks as of tomorrow morning, thanks to many answered prayers, this little guy has stayed put. Its hard to believe that by this time in my pregnancy with Adam, he was home after spending a month in the hospital! How different this time has been! So now my friends who are moms can relax that I am experiencing many of those third trimester joys that I "missed out on" last time. Swollen feet and fingers-check, back pain-check, fatigue to rival the first trimester-check. You get the idea. Our little man is scheduled to come on July 27th unless he comes earlier.
