thirty-five & thirty-six weeks. bumpdate!



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!!

  1. Looking 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?

    1. seriously. 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?

  3. Wow -- 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? :)

  4. how 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!

    You are beautiful! And I can't wait to "meet" your little boy either! Parker is too cute.. :)

    1. I 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!

  6. Ahhh! 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!

  7. You 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

    1. that'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?

  8. You 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!

    PS--Jessica was born at exactly 36 weeks so, really, it could be any day! ;-)

  11. Still 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)!
