baby bump photos...


I can't believe I am two short weeks away {or less} from meeting this sweet baby boy.  Pregnancy was slow initially, but as soon as the morning sickness subsided it has flown by.  Unlike with my pregnancy with Ethan everything was documented week to week, I haven't with this one.  My sweet friend Tarrah took a few baby bump photos for us.  So here is what I will remember about this pregnancy:

CRAVINGS  initially- the more salt the better.  Now I just want milk:  cereal or french vanilla yogurt


KICKS This little man moves way more I than ever remember his big brother moving.  Ethan has belly laughs watching my belly move at night.  I can't wait for them to laugh together:)  He is very active every night around 9:30pm so I am expecting him to be wide awake at that time after his arrival.

SLEEP  I have napped every given chance.  But this time around reflux has been there especially after I drink my nightly cup of milk.  So far still snoozing into the night



POSITION  Towards the end I am almost certain I have a little baby booty right up under my right ribs--- just like big brother was.  

NAMES  I believe David and I have finally picked a name this week.  Not a minute too soon either:) 



SIZE OF THE BABY:  I had a bump what seemed immediately...then it slowed down.  Ethan was a surprising 9 pounds 1 ounce.  I am thinking this baby won't be as big--- but we will see!

BELLY BUTTON:  out and has been 


BIG BROTHER/LITTLE BROTHER  One question I get over and over is "if Ethan gets it."  Yes, I would say he does for sure.  He randomly comes up and asks if "baby brother moving or sleep."  Or he will start taking to my bump in his form of baby talk.  In the morning little brother already get a kiss good morning as I stumble out of bed.  As a mother my heart couldn't be any warmer to already see a bond there.  I never expected Ethan to talk so much about "baby brother" every day.  


NURSERY  We are still finishing up the nursery.  I think it took a while to get it together because we needed to transition Ethan out of the crib and into a big boy bed.  No worries--our sweet bassinet is ready and waiting on the baby and baby boy has more clothes than one baby could wear.  

WAITING:  Ethan asks almost every day if the baby is coming today.  I wish I could say my bags are packed but they aren't!  Maybe, I'll do that today...
