This belly pic is from Jan 29th. I was 32 weeks along.
Hello everyone that reads this. I am not sure who keeps tabs on us through this, only positive about a few of you. Sorry this has been lagging so badly but life has really caught up to us. When priorities are laid out, this is one thing that gets pushed to the back burner.
The last few months have been full of Shaylen growing into a well aware toddler with a wonderful and yet challenging at times, personality. It is so fun to watch her and see her change. I have been getting more and more tired in these last few weeks before baby boy joins our family.
I will be 38 weeks on Friday and that just seems so crazy. The 2nd pregnancy is a little different than the first being that you know what to expect but yet you don't really remember all the specifics. Also having a toddler to distract can be a good thing and a very tiring thing. I feel like it has taken me forever to get here, but at the same time, we really only have maybe 2 weeks left with little miss Shaylen before we are busy again with a newborn. As I grow more tired I am trying to savor each day with my little girl as I know I will be more distracted in the coming months.
This is such an exciting time though as there are 5 woman pregnant on our block. I start in March, there is another in April, one in May and two in August. Then also some dear friends that both live within three blocks are due in May as well. Something in the water!
Shaylen has been very attentive to my stomach the last couple weeks, even putting one of her cloth play bandages on my ever expanding belly button thinking its an owie. She will caress, kiss and talk to my stomach which is so precious. She talks of sharing her toys with baby brother and playing catch with him. I truly hope that these two becomes best buds.
