dudes, this baby is gonna be a full-term real baby human on friday. that means he could legitimately come at any given moment and everything would pretty much be a-ok. and you know what? i'm pretty much ok with that. we have stuff ready to go {a brand spanking new carseat is just waiting to be spit up in} & i bought a fresh pack of newborn onsies for the hospital & his coming home outfit. what else do i need in order to be ready? not much.
we're talking like two to three more weeks here. CRAZYAMAZEBALLSNUTS. seriously... is this real life? i'm gonna have two boys within the next month & that blows my mind. i'm so excited/scared/nervous/anxious & don't even know where to start. i'm excited for the next stage of life. of growing my family of four & seeing my two boys together. i'm excited to work out again & not feel like my entire body is broken when i attempt to sit up in bed. i will miss baby movements in my belly & sleeping through the night but for the most part, i think i'm done being pregnant. so we just gotta get through these next few weeks.
oh... and then there's the name issue. i thought we were making progress but we're kinda back at square one. it's just so harrrrrd. it's so hard when you have a little boy already with a name you're absolutely in love with to come up with something "as good." and now that we already know parker so well, how do we name someone we've never met & expect it to match up? so i think we're waiting to see baby boy before we finalize things. kinda exciting in a way? look at me, flying by the seat of my pants! wheeee!
anywho, here are bumpdate pics from the last two weeks because with the vacay & playing catch up it got lost in the shuffle. the belly is getting bigggg. i can feel it growing, i swear. or at least, i can feel baby boy's little bum pushing my belly out to make more room for his chubby little self. can't WAIT to meet him!!
Very cute bump :)
ReplyDeletethank you! :)
DeleteLooking good. I know when the time comes the hubby and I are never going to be able to agree on a name as easily as we did with Ryann. It seems like with the first you just have the PERFECT name. You are right, how do you match that?
ReplyDeleteseriously. we LOVED the name Parker, it was a no-brainer. But we also didn't have a kid already to compare it to, so I think that's half the problem, ya know?
Deleteyou look absolutely amazing!! so cute and i can't believe he will almost be here!! so so excited for you!!
ReplyDeletethanks Kristin... and you're not that far behind me. exciting!!
DeleteWow -- full term this Friday? Are you kidding? I feel like just yesterday you told me you were pregnant. That went by FAST! I'm hoping your little guy either comes before we go...or stays put until after. Because, you know, the world revolves around me, right? :)
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah... telling you as we shopped the clearance racks at Target. I'm so classy!
Deletehow exciting!!! I am 15 weeks and just starting a little bump! I can't wait until I feel kicks and have a real bump! YOu look so great! I am nervous about the weight gain (I know I shouldn't be) and I am nervous about being uncomfortable! But so excited to experience this!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful! And I can't wait to "meet" your little boy either! Parker is too cute.. :)
yes, the kicks are the best part... congrats!!
DeleteBellyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I love your belly, I just want to rub it!! he he. And good for you for waiting to name the baby. I always think that's best and such a special time!! Can't wait to hear what you decide! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you were close enough to rub it! I would let you give it lots of rubs. you know all our options for names I think... it's just a matter of picking!
DeleteAhhh! Can't believe it's already time for him to make his debut. Seems like just yesterday I was reading your announcement. :) I can't wait to see your sweet boys photos and read all about life with two (not that I won't know first hand in a few months). So excited for you guys!
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah... I'll give you a little heads up as to how it all works out ;)
DeleteYou are lookin' great! Don't mean to get clinical, but I heard on the news the other day how important the last few weeks of pregnancy are to the child's successful brain function in school. Every day in the oven is a good thing! But how nice to be so far along at this point! So glad you are in a fairly cooler climate for these last weeks... Although warm days can be so heavy with humidity there too. It won't be long now! :D
ReplyDeletethat's interesting mom... everything I've seen just says babies continue to put on weight past 37 weeks but all major brain/organ development is complete & the baby is full term. where did you see that?
DeleteYou know what? I think it's a great idea to wait until Baby Boy #2 is born to name him. I think it makes a lot of sense to meet him before he gets his name that he will have for the rest of his life! Besides, you don't need any more pressure while you're finishing up everything you need to do getting ready for him to get here!
ReplyDeletePS--Jessica was born at exactly 36 weeks so, really, it could be any day! ;-)
eeeek! that kinda scares me! as much as I want to see his little face, I take comfort in it still being a couple weeks away!! :)
Deleteand happy birthday, again!! oxox
You are so adorable!!! So excited for you. :D
ReplyDeletethank you!! i'm excited too :)
DeleteYour second picture says 30 weeks, im sure you dont want to go back 6 weeks ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! It could be any day! I had my little man at 37 weeks.
haha, thank you! I fixed it!! :)
DeleteStill looking cute girl! You make pregnancy look good ;o) I'm sure when you see that tiny little face it'll spark a name (that's what usually happens)!
ReplyDeleteAww...you look like you stuck a basketball under your shirt. You're lookin' good Mama! (I say that in the least creepy way possible).
ReplyDeleteyou are so cute, all belly -- lucky! he will be here soon! i cant wait for you to have siblings, watching them interact and become friends is the best thing ever!
ReplyDeleteAlmost there!! How exciting. :D You seriously look great, I know you're suffering though. :( Hopefully baby boy comes as soon as he is full term so you can feel better!
