38 Weeks and Counting

Our little/BIG man


How are we feeling?
This is a loaded question because I am FULL of complaints. I hurt so bad and wonder if my bones are breaking from the inside. Pregnancy takes it toll on your body in ways you  never imagined and this pregnancy is sooooo different than it was with Eloise. Water is my life source and I've come full circle as fruit is the only thing that sounds good. I'm also feeling like I might be too old for this....

What's up with the bump?
Little man or I should say BIG man is measured to be weighing 8 pounds 90z already! Because I am scheduled for a c-section, they will continue to let him grow. This means my stomach is HUGE and he could end up weighing close to 10 pounds when born. I cannot wait to get this show on the road and be able to walk more than 10 minutes before collapsing in pain.


What crazy thing did we recently learn?
That everything for baby comes in giant cardboard boxes. We literally have a truck full of cardboard that we need to get rid of.  We also learned that our car was not going to fit our growing family and bought a new one!  Our neighbor works for a dealership and got us a great deal. It's nice to have something bigger for our growing family. You can see how enormous my belly is in this picture!



Subject I'm not ready to think about?
Being stuck in the house for another 5 months. Between winter and covid, I wonder if we will ever get out! At least Theodore will be someone new to keep us occupied, but this outgoing mama misses people!

Big Daddy's Take:
"As of late I have been thinking about the differences in raising a girl vs. a boy. I can think of many moments where I have positioned Eloise to see other women doing things that would encourage her that she could do as well, but as I think of Theodore I find that I will have to be that example of the type of person he can become. I've looked at other women as being Eloise's teachers, but with Theo I will have to be that. "

Big Sister's Take: 
"I love him with my whole heart, will always keep him safe, tell him about God, and hope he comes soon!" For the record, she's already picked out his Halloween costume to match hers as well as Christmas jammies! Eloise also got to practice feeding her new baby cousin Jaydn-my sister Racheals newest bundle and we are excited to have our boys two weeks apart.
