Ummm... I am going to have a baby soon...

Really soon I am going to be a mom of two! A little adorable 1.5 year old boy and a precious little newborn girl.

Was I on crack when I though this was a good decision???

Seriously!

Freaking out!

Right now I am offically in the third trimester and only have 11ish weeks before I do the newborn thing again. I seriously begged my doctor to let me stay pregnant as long as possible to buy me more time at my last appoinment.

I feel totally overwhelmed and so beyond not ready...

I also feel so incrediably blessed. I can't believe that I have the family I've always dreamed of... The family we've been through so much to get... I am not sure if this will be our last or not. We are just taking it one step at a time and rolling with the punches.

So for the nursery, we have decided to wait until June to set it up. Honestly, I'll be nursing and she'll be in our bed or a bassinet for the first few months anyway. I am going to get our guest room around so all we have to do is move the furniture out and the crib in. Then fluffy with pink accordingly.

I love this set and my parents are buying it for Evie...



The room is already painted a cream color so I think I am just going to touch it up and call it good.

I need to start stocking up on diapers. We also need another monitor and some clothes and perhaps a double stroller and then I think we'll be ready.

On another note... Charlie is huge and awesome! Walking, talking, CLIMBING... He's just amazing and is the light of our life. He is going to be a great big brother. He is so helpful and well tempered.

We are blessed.

Week 26...

When people said each pregnancy is different, I kind of didn't believe them...
But I don't believe I ever felt so pregnant before! Last time around, 26 weeks seemed like a breeze... This time, I am waddling and my hips are hurting something fierce! It is all part of this wonderful process and I know the payoff in the end will be more than worth it, but still I am taking this opportunity to whine just a little bit.

Also, a pretty cool thing about this time is that she moves like crazy! Charlie NEVER moved this much, but Evie lets me know she is there. She is going to be a pistol like her momma no doubt!

Ummm... And holy shit... Did I mention that in 14 short weeks we are going to have a second baby in our home! Two under two!

How blessed are we?

How scared am I?

We have NOTHING even close to ready... I keep telling myself that it is okay that she has no nursery because I will be nursing and she will be co-sleeping like Charlie for the first few months, but I am really just diluting myself into believing I am ready. She has barely any clothes... No crib... No Diapers...

I guess when it comes down to it she won't need much, my ta's and some dipes and wipes should really do, but I am a planner and I am freaking out that we aren't ready...

Girl!

We are having a girl! I am so excited! Today we got to see her wiggle and move around via ultrasound. She is perfect and healthy and we could not be happier! I am practicing tons of self control by not buying every cute girl thing in sight. Etsy is the devil...

Evelyn Elizabeth, you are going to be one well dresses gal!

Hmmm... That's strange...

Lately things have just been strange...

Before, when I was pregnant, it was so different...

Only Tony touched my belly last time and maybe my mom once...
Now keep in mind, I am a big girl, so generally that area is off limits.
But this time, people have already touched my belly and I am kinda heebed out by it.
It happened, no lie, like 3 times this weekend by non-husband/mom people.
I feel very invaded. It is just strange.

Bad Blogger

Yeah
I am a bad blogger...

I am swamped with school stuff and life stuff lately.
Plus, sleep is an amazing gift, so when I get the chance, it is my top hobby of choice!

Speaking of sleep...

Charlie has decided that he is not a baby that sleeps through the night anymore. He and I have spent many midnight hours together lately and all I can say is that it is a good thing he is so cute...

Speaking of refusing to do stuff...

Charlie also refuses to walk. He knows how, but he sees no reason to do it because he can crawl more efficently especially when I leave the baby gate opened.

He does give kisses and high fives. I totally teach him useless stuff, but it makes me smile to get his sloppy smooches. And honestly, what 1 year old needs to know how to read a book?

Going back to school after summer has been extremley difficult. It is even more difficult than going back from my maternity leave. I am struggling to balance it all, but Tony has been amazing at helping out. He is a great hubby to have and Charlie and I are lucky to have him.

What else???

There is so much!

I got a new car. My Beetle has been replaced with a Chevy Exquinox Mom-moble. I will miss my Buggy, but it is so nice to not have to crawl in the back to strap Charlie in and out.

As for the new pregnancy...

Holy Shit! I am 17 weeks. Where is this kid going to sleep? If it is a she, what will she wear? Double diapers! Breastfeeding again! Maternity leave!

Yikes...

I need to get planning!

We have names (Frankie or Evie short for Franklin Anthony or Evelyn Elizabeth) and will find out which it will be soon. Everything is progressing perfectly... Weird... But AWESOME!

Anyway... I have to pee so this is it for now... More soon... Actually, probably not so soon, but maybe!
