THIRD TRIMESTER!

Per my new usual, I am once again behind.  Everyone told me that it would be a lot harder the second time around but for some reason I didn't believe them.  I do however have a strong passion for keeping committed to baby #2! 

 Love note from Big Brother!

 Happy 4th of July!!

It's hard to believe that my third trimester is here already.  It really does seem like yesterday that Ben and I were even talking about the thought of having another baby and now in 12 short weeks we will officially be a family of 4! I can't wait to have another little baby around, but right now I can't help but feel like I'm abandoning Lucas.  I find myself rocking him to sleep more than he really needs just so I can cherish the time with him.  I know in my heart that he will love having a little brother (at least one day!) but I just don't ever want him to be sad that he has to share his mommy and daddy.  

How far along? 28 weeks

Total weight gain: 20ish

Maternity clothes? They are pretty much all I wear.

Stretch marks? I think I am imagining them sometimes.  But I am sure some will sneak up on me and I will see them after the baby is born.

Sleep: I WANT to sleep all the time, but my body doesn’t always seem to get the memo.  Plus overnight bathroom breaks are starting up.   

Best moment this week:  Entering the 3^rd trimester! 2 down, 1 to go!  We got to spend the 4^th of July with Ben’s family too which was a nice treat.

Miss Anything? Nothing crazy this week.

Movement: ALL the time.  He seems to be a very strong little guy already.

Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week.

Belly Button in or out? I think I need to admit (mostly to myself) that I officially have an outie.  It makes me so sad because this didn’t happen with Lucas.

Wedding rings on or off? on, but probably not for long :( 

Happy or Moody most of the time: happy for the most part, but I have noticed a couple crazy mood swings (Sorry everyone!)

Looking forward to:  Crossing off things on our to do list.  Baby boy #2 will be here before we know and we have A LOT to do.  It’s really hard to accomplish stuff in the summer, it’s so busy!
