How sweet it is.
Life has been crazy in our home lately.. and to be honest.. not such great days... but we still try our best to find time for things that we love... the world never stops .. so you gotta just keep on going no matter what. At 31 and a half weeks we decided that it was the perfect time to do some Maternity Photos. I feel like its not to early.. and if baby decides he is ready a little early.. then we didn't miss the boat on capturing this little miracle in my belly!
Its funny.. we take the photos.. and I think... C.U.T.E! Then I look in the mirror and I think.. HOLY WHALE!! lol why is it that when Im not pregnant.. I miss it and when I am pregnant, I can't wait for it to be over lol... is that normal!?
I promised myself this time around that I would try really hard to remember as much as possible.. like.. the restless leg syndrome I get every night... ITS SOOO ANNOYING and makes you feel like chopping off your legs! Ill try to remember how difficult it is to run after a toddler all day while you have a hard time bending over or picking him up... I will remember the nausea this time around and how I can NEVER find cute pregnancy clothes so I just buy bigger sizes but struggle to dress myself everyday!
But as I tried to write myself "the letter" so I would have it for record when I got baby fever again .. I just couldn't do it because then I think of this special little spirit and my heart melts. A change of heart really. I don't think we will be the family with a "ton" of kids.. but more then two I think. Ive survived pregnancy thus far and so I really should just suck it up and enjoy it!
I look at Carter and I think .. what an amazing blessing to our family... I can't even begin to imagine my life without him now and Im sure that we will be the same for his little brother!
At 30 weeks I got my "baby tattoos" back... yes thats right... the same ones and places I had them with Carter.. but then I use the amazing Tummy Butter and they come and go every other day... hopefully they don't stick around after baby is born.
Baby is still breach.... but we are working on trying to get him head down... we have until 36 weeks to try.. after that the doctors will try. I am confident he will turn... hopefully.
I am so in love with this little baby. I LOVE feeling him move around... I love when Brian feels him too.. sometimes Im probably overkill when the baby moves if Brian is around I ALWAYS place his hand on my tummy.... he's such a good sport!
Carter is really really adorable lately.. we still tell him all the time that there is a baby in mommy's belly but Im not to sure he totally understands. He always kisses the baby and gives his baby brother hugs by hugging my belly.. it is the sweetest thing.
He has also found so much joy in taking his teddy and wrapping him up in his blankie.. saying its his baby... kissing his baby.. and putting his baby "night night".
I think Carter is going to be a very sweet big brother.
As for Brian and I... the excitement we have for this little boy is unreal! I remember being super excited when I was pregnant with Carter and this time around is no different! I mean, of course I am nervous about having to juggle two little boys and I know my house will have days where is looks like a disaster... the boys will fight and I will be exhausted but I am still so excited!
The love that Bri and I have love for each other that is unlike any other (well thats my bias opinion at least lol) and we have so much love to share with our children. I cant wait to meet you baby2!
I love being a mother. As a little girl all I ever wanted to be was either a "baby doctor" or a "mother" .. I am living my dream.. watching my children grow with Bri and I by their side is the best life I can imagine.
I am in my own element when I hold our son close to me and have our second little boy in my belly..
I am completely in love with the fact that within two months I will have another little boy to cherish, spend time with, hold and kiss, cuddle and swaddle.. and welcome to our little family... we are so lucky.
We are so excited to meet you sweet Baby 2 ... you are already so loved... and we promise to cherish every moment with you... the good.. the bad... the everything. You will forever be ours and we will love you unconditionally. Forever and Ever and Ever!
