25 Weeks and Counting!

We've got another thumb sucker!!! (24 weeks)

 How are we feeling?

Between the heat and where he likes to position himself, I'm pretty uncomfortable for only being half way through!  The heat is unbearable and I look like I took a shower every time I'm out for more than 25 minutes.  He then likes to nestle pretty low and karate chop me to the point where I've gotta run to the bathroom every 10 minutes.  It doesn't matter where we are, if I'm running, it's because he's practicing his moves.  I had a short hospital overnighter due to dehydration and vertigo.  It was awful, but we both mad it through and love being back home.

What's up with the bump?

We received great news at our last appointment! We had been worried about the umbilical cord situation as it does not allow the nutrients to get to him as needed and he was measuring a week behind. At this last appointment he had caught up and was measuring on target!  We also were treated to quite the show during the ultrasound. Baby boy sure is flexible! He showed us his special skill-sucking his toes!!!

What crazy thing did we recently learn?
We recently realized how much stuff we still need for this baby!  Even though we had Eloise, we either let friends borrow or donated because 5 years a long time to wait and hold on to all that stuff. We have several friends and family members already reaching out to give us hand me downs or let us borrow bigger items for the time being, trying to keep track is overwhelming!

Subject I'm not ready to think about?

Diapers. Prices have gone up a bit since Eloise wore them and I already have had several conversations about disposal vs. cloth. My thought on this? You do you girlfriend and I'll do me-that way we're both happy.

Big Daddy's Take:

In constant prayer for my wife and son. Can't wait to meet him!

BIG sister has been training for this moment her "whole life!" 

Eloise recently turned five and said the best part about being five is that she "gets a baby brother."
