Thirty-Two

For those of you that are thinking about age.......SHAME ON YOU!!! I'm still in my 20's i'll have you know! :)

We are 32 weeks along in this pregnacy.....how did we get here SO fast? I feel like it was JUST yesterday that I went for a walk with my friend Shannon & was telling her how weird it was that I hadn't "started" yet. At that point, NEVER had the fact that I might be pregnant crossed my mind. I had just been to the Dr. (the day before that) & they had precautiously done a p.t before doing x-rays only to come out negative. Almost a week went by before I even thought about it again.

And then there was telling Daddy that we were going to have another (unplanned) baby! I think I waited almost a week after I got the positive test to tell him (you'll have to ask him if you want to know how he found out). I knew that we wanted another but we weren't expecting to even start trying until the summer/fall....oh well, God has His own idea, right?

I really expected the last 8 mos to go by a little slower but here we are & I haven't registered at the hospital yet, found a house to move into, or even started the nursery. I especially surprised that we have somehow managed to overcome the curiosity & forego finding out the sex of this baby!

Baby #2 I know that I haven't been as excited about this pregnancy but I still love you just the same. I am anxiously awaiting your arrival & cant wait to see what kind of little person you are. I wonder if you are a boy or girl. Will you look like your big sissy? Will you be a good sleeper/eater for me? Will you be as stubborn as your mommy, daddy & sissy? How will you fit into this family? How will I love you all (you, Audrey & daddy) the same? I also think about your little features, personality....will you have the same chin as me & Audrey? Will you get those round tomato face cheeks like Audrey? Will you have the deVilleneuve laugh? What will life be like for us in one year? Will I go crazy trying to balance it all:)?

I watch your sissy "play" with you now. She wants to make sure when we read that she lifts up my shirt & includes you (will this last). She shares her paci & her juice with you, she wants to put her blankie on you & we sing you to sleep. If we are singing songs, she is sure to play the drums on "baby" (this one isn't as comfortable for mom).

I can already tell you are different from Audrey just in the way I am carrying you. Thank you for staying out of my ribs so far! I may have to pee ever 5 minutes bc you sit so low but at least I can breath! You move around ALOT more than I remember with Audrey but you get the hiccups just as much as she did :)

We haven't gotten to see you as much (ultrasounds) but I think that makes the anticipation all the more fun!!! I keep thinking of that moment in the hospital when the Dr. says "It's a ______" & we will be utterly surprised & overjoyed with you! We love you so much & can't wait to meet you (although I need you to keep cooking for now).
