32 weeks

So I'm beginning to wonder how big this baby is going to be?  He is no longer kicking and jabbing my insides but is rolling and moving like he is running out of room.  I'm a little worried that he might be bigger than his brother was- 8 lbs and more like his daddy who was 10 lbs.  Yikes!  

The whole family is healthy and feeling better.  It is so nice to have my fun, easy going baby back and it's nice to have energy again.  I feel like I saw a glimpse of life with two babies last week and to be very honest, it makes me nervous.  Just the unknown of when I will ever shower, will I ever sleep more than 3 hours straight again for the next 18 years, and will I ever go grocery shopping on my own?  I know this life will be full and having all my boys will give me the most blessed life- one better than I could imagine.  It's the little details- the really unimportant things that make me wonder.  And in the midst of the chaos, I can't wait to snuggle my boys, hear them running in the hallway upstairs together, and watch our family become just what it was meant to be.

31 weeks... a little late

Last week was hard.  Colin was sick almost all week with a fever between 101-103.  Ryan was sick with a sore throat and I was congested and exhausted.  Colin couldn't be at school all week so that meant a lot of Colin and mommy time to snuggle and fight that dumb fever.  I am thankful to report that Colin is doing great now and was back at school yesterday.  But the look on his face in this picture pretty much sums up the week and how he felt- not himself.  Everyone kept asking how I was and to be honest, I felt like I got a glimpse at what being a mom of two will be like.  I was beyond tired.  I cried quite a bit out of sheer exhaustion.  I hated seeing my baby sick.  And every time Colin cried, this baby would kick the crap out of my insides.  I felt like I was stretched pretty thin and began running on empty.  So I'm thankful last week is behind us and we are all on the better side of healthy!
