but, alas, I have not met my goal....
life is such a whirlwind right now, what a busy time!
so far though, this pregnancy is going well. I don't have gestational diabetes (yay!....I love my carbs) and I feel pretty darn good.
it's pretty funny, sometimes I wake up and go, oh wait, I'm pregnant! still surreal to me sometimes.
I am also feeling a bit overwhelmed....I feel I have so much to do. I mean, I have 3 months if all goes well but it just doesn't seem like long enough! I am such a preparer.
this list goes through my head pretty much every day....
- paint the room
- fix the changing table drawer (which is rather unfortunate that this needs to be done...)
- paint the nightstand...I know, ambitious but it must match the decor :)
- wash all of the baby clothes, blankets, bibs, car seat cover, stroller covers....ahhh!!
- purchase and wash cloth diapers. yup, thats right. we are going green. ha. this will be a whole new adventure for us. cloth diapers never even entered my mind with Owen. we shall see how it goes....
- finish quilt and room decor....I know I don't need a quilt but, it will just add that personal touch hanging on the chair or crib...and knowing I put my time and effort into it makes it extra special :) with some help from my awesome mom, we are pretty much making everything for the room (crib skirt/bumper, wall art etc..and it is so cute! I cant wait to see how it all comes together.
- oh and he needs a name......minor detail. lol.
so yes, I feel overwhelmed with those kinds of things but then sometimes I also have minor little freak out moments with the idea of 2 children. I know I will love this little one just as much as Owen but sometimes I wonder how. I just love Owen so much and sometimes it makes me sad to think he won't always have our undivided attention. Owen has been the center of our world for 4 years so the idea that this is going to change scares me a little. Typically, I don't do well with change. Deep down, I know it's all good and Owen is going to love his little brother but it's just a bit daunting to think about sometimes. I also just have to get him used to the idea that it may not be baby Liam...he's pretty convinced! :)
anyways, don't get me wrong, I am SO excited for this little one, am SO ready, and cannot wait! I'm just a little nervous too.
please tell me I'm normal :)
well, thats the latest and greatest at the 26+ week mark! my how time flies... !
So a post wouldn't be a post without a few photos to brighten it....my lovely hubby appeased me and took these. He doesn't do such a bad job, eh? :) I hate to even post these as I'm feeling a bit frumpy, am in need of a hairstylist, and am definitely not a model but it has to be done. HA. Plus, the lilacs are oh, so pretty. : )
Have a great day!

You are normal. :-)
Going from one to two IS a big change! I remember thinking the same things! But you will adjust and pretty soon you won't be able to imagine life with out #2.
Love the photos. I think you look great!
I agree with Stacey and you're so beautiful. About time we saw some bump shots.
You look so beautiful!!!!
Sweet photos. You look so great. Love your baby bump. You are totally normal. It is hard when you go from 1 to two.
you are so normal. (and beautiful!)
i think back on going from one to two ... and it was mindboggling. i freaked about how you take 2 shopping (big in the cart, little in the sling). i freaked about nursing when there was another one to keep busy (make a basket for the big kid of toys/stuff for ONLY during nursing). i freaked about being up all night back and forth (um. no answers to that one. sorry.)
you just have to follow your instincts.
and cloth diapering is superty easy. ask away if you have any questions.
I remember going in to check on Lila while she was sleeping, about a week before Elle was born and bursting out in tears... fear of not being enough for both of them. Fear that Lila wouldn't get enough time, love, etc. I cried the day I headed to the hospital to have Elle, again, more fear. But ultimately, all there is is MORE! More warmth, more smiles, more cheeks to kiss, more love! It's amazing! Have no fear!
