Glad I'm not an elephant

even though I might feel like one sometimes.

An elephant's gestation is 22 months. That is a LONG time. Nine months is starting to feel like a long time. Pregnancy has been a bit more tiring this time around. Chasing Kaden, working, and such has made me more achy and tired. As the date gets closer, we all get more excited and a bit more anxious too. I am excited to meet the new baby boy. We have not even come close to deciding on a name...any good ideas?

35 weeks (and hoping for only a few more). I had an ultrasound the other day and things are good. He weighs in at about 5 pounds and squirms around all of the time. He seems to look almost identical to Kaden, but what can you really tell from an ultrasound?



I'm so excited to have 2 little boys. It will be so fun to watch them grow up together. Kaden is so excited about "baby brudder". He talks about him all of the time. He smothers other little babies we see. He is so full of love and kisses. My friend's baby was crying and he was so worried about him. He kept bringing blankets, bottles, binkies, rice-crispy treats, and loves to the baby. He might end up being TOO helpful, but I am excited to see the love he will show for the baby.

Oh you are so much cuter than an elephant, even though you feel huge- you look GREAT! I'm excited for you too. Sounds like Kaden is going to love this baby- Nathan has yet to come around, which isn't such a bad thing either. Good luck with your last few weeks.
