21 Days

We have 21 days at most until baby Wes is here! That's crazy to me. I feel like my whole world is about to be rocked (and Andrew's) and I'm not sure how to feel about it.

Honestly, there are A LOT of days where I think to myself... and sometimes say out loud... "what in God's name was I thinking??". What made us think this would be a good idea? I had a good thing going with that one child gig. But I do know that once he gets here I'll never look back. Right??

No, really, for the most part, I'm ready!
I'm ready physically, that's for sure! All I can say is THANK GOD my husband and I are in agreeance to never doing this again. I'm so uncomfortable. I can barely get around. That is a problem when you have a very active toddler! I'm excited to be able to do stuff with him (them) again. Well do more I guess, because I still have to do stuff with him. It's just not fun! I'm ready to get my body back and work on looking good for a certain someone to come home. At least I have a while to work on that.. I'll need the time! I'm ready to sleep on my belly again! That, my friends, is going to be glorious.

I'm a little nervous about learning how to handle two kids. I'm worried about how Andrew will respond and figuring out how I'll split my time. I'm nervous about going out and getting stuff done with two, like grocery shopping, for instance. So I'm ready to just throw myself into all that. I can't wait to just do it.. get the the newness, awkwardness, and learning out of the way and let it become my new normal. I'm ready to kick this whole having two kids' thing ass.

And really, I'm just so excited to meet our 2nd little boy. Another little human that is half myself and half Trey. I can't wait to love on him. To see what he looks like. I wonder if he'll look just like Andrew did or nothing like him at all? To see what his little personality will be like. I pray he's as easy as Andrew was, but I don't dare assume that I'm that lucky. I'm excited to see Andrew take on the roll of big brother. I'm pretty sure he'll do great!

Did I mention I'm ready to have my body back yet?

All I need to do is get my hair done, get one last prenatal massage in, a pedicure, get my hospital gown in and pack my bag!

I haven't slept on my stomach (comfortably) in ages! It's not always fun having bewbs.

You will be amazing with 2 little boys! And just think. Chasing after Andrew will help you get the baby weight off :). I'll mail you that DVD!

I guess I didn't realize you were so close to having him.

I'm sure it will all work out for you. I'm sure you family will do everything they can for you.

Best wishes!

It's o.k. to be nervous about adding another human to the family dynamic! Don't be afraid, just jump in with two feet and figure it out as you go along/live your life! I have the utmost faith that you will succeed! :)

I'm with Steph, I didn't realize the day was upon us!! How exciting girlie! Your a strong woman. You can do this! We're trying to decide if 2 is for us, but with the deployment, it's not an option yet. I just hope I'm on board by the time hubby wants another one, because if not...That could be ugly, lol! You look perfectly pregnant and fabulous <3

Sarah said...

SO CLOSE! (And I'm so excited for you!) Pregnancy suits you well momma.

Jenn said...

Two will be fun, and even though it's not comfy, try to enjoy just one! ;) You look great and I know you'll be a great mom to two!

Yet again, as much as I miss having you here, I'm so glad you're home with family so you can have all that support (not that we would have left you to flap in the wind here....just sayin, ;))

And personally, I hope Wes looks just like you. Cause he'd be adorable and it's just no fair for Trey to have 2 mini-me's. ;)

So excited for you!

Love love love the baby bump you've got going on there. And I'm so excited to meet the new little man when he joins the world!
