Pregnant with baby #2

Time is going by so quickly and I have been so busy that I haven't had very much time to blog about how everything has been this pregnancy. First of all my official due date is March 26th which is just a short 6 weeks away. However there is a chance that I could go into labor early because I am measuring considerably ahead of schedule and so is our baby boy. Landon and the new baby will be about 17 months apart which I am actually not nervous about. I am excited to have them close in age and I feel like they will probably be best little buddies growing up together. I love having a newborn around and I am so excited to go through the newborn stage and be able to watch Landon in the toddler stage at the same time. Our apartment isn't huge and to be honest there isn't much for Landon to get into so he is fairly easy to have around on a daily basis. He is really good about just entertaining himself with toys in his room during the day which will be nice while recovering and adjusting to our growing family. We do not have a name picked out and it is stressing me out! I don't like the idea of going to the hospital without having a name that we are for sure leaning towards so we will need to get on that soon. I have been feeling really good again this pregnancy and honestly I enjoy being pregnant. I actually missed being pregnant after I had Landon and don't have much to complain about. The only thing that can be annoying at times is that my legs get really really restless. I can usually only sit down for maybe 15 minutes at a time without having to stand up, walk around or stretch out my legs. It can be frustrating when I am just tired and want to relax or watch a movie with Peter but it is still a small price to pay to bring a baby into the world. I am definitely "nesting" right now. I have been going through all of Landon's old baby clothes and getting everything back out of storage and put away in his room which I guess will now be known as "the boys room". We are also in the process of decorating their room since that has never really happened. We are so excited to meet this new little baby and know that he will be just as much of a joy to our family as Landon is.

  1. So fun! And you look great - all belly! With both of my pregnancies I always measured way behind schedule (but then had big babies - I guess they like to hide) but I blew up pretty much everywhere else. Haha! You look wonderful though! And try not to stress about the name thing. With Emmett we had NO idea what we were going to name him when I had him, but we figured it out. :)

  2. You're so cute! So excited for you and your little family! I am totally jealous that Landon plays by himself...Lucas will for a little bit, but he's also pretty clingy lol!
