87 days.
In 87 days (or so) we will be a family of four.
Most days I can't wrap my mind around that idea. Lately things have gotten interesting to say the least. There are so many things going on right now that make me absolutely excited, and yet so nervous. I can't wait to see how the rest of our summer unfolds.
This past week my mom and one of my best friends and her two kids came to visit! They were so super helpful while they were here. First of all, they came down because Lochlan was done with school after Memorial Day, so we needed a sitter. Second, they started packing up our house! I have just felt so ho-hum about the idea of packing up and moving, so it was great for someone to at least start the process and make my life a bit less stressful! I felt a whole lot better after they left, and even though I'm not a packing guru, I feel like I at least know how to continue moving forward.
I swear I didn't just invite them down to put them to work. I really enjoyed their visit, and it's a huge reminder of a handful of things. While the hubs was out of town for his brother's graduation, we took the three kids to the Columbia Zoo.
Baby Boy #2 Update
How far along: 27 Weeks, 3 days
Gender: Boy
Total weight gain/loss:
Maternity clothes: Yep! And I even have some new preggo workout pants that I broke in this week. AH! MAZING!
Stretch marks: None that I've noticed.
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Sleep: So-so. I've never been a solid sleeper apparently according to my FitBit.
Have you started to show yet: He has grown AND moved up in the past four days.
Movement: Yep. It feels different than Lochlan, but I definitely think that's because my placenta is right in the front. I feel him a lot already on the sides and down below. In the middle when he kicks, it's still really faint.
Best moment the past two weeks: Finally being done with work and my mom and good friend from home coming to visit. They helped start the packing process and got me somewhat motivated to do the rest!
Worst moment the past two weeks: Today was rough.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody. Tearful really, which isn't me, but it's situation stacked on top of hormones, so it's beyond frustrating.
Food cravings: Nothing.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Heartburn/acid reflux is constant. I'll for sure be asking the doctor for something on Tuesday at our appointment.
Miss anything: Feeling "normal." Definitely don't remember feeling so out of whack with baby #1.
Weekly Wisdom: Keep on swimmin'!
Looking forward to: Answers. Specific. Concrete. Answers.
