Five more weeks!

So it's coming down to the wire.  5 more weeks and this little boy should be ready to join us in the real world.  Everything is falling into place and I am feeling more and more comfortable with the thought that our second son will be joining us soon.  The nursery is ready with all my elephant decor and linens/clothes have been washed ready for some spit-up and poop to get it all dirty.  We are all getting excited about the arrival and getting prepared for Plan A, B, and C!

I have been preparing Julian a bit by looking at pictures/videos of when he was a baby.   I have been getting nostalgic watching all the baby videos of Julian and am hoping that the transition from one child to two won't be as difficult as I am making it.  But Julian seems to be getting so excited to meet his baby brother.  We even went to "Build-A-Bear" to build a bear for his baby brother.  He named him Fudgey Bear because he is dark like his fudge snack packs.  How clever!

I have been getting bit picture crazy lately as well.  On my tabFoto page, I posted a few of my photos I took from my maternity shoots I did on my own.  I even have been doing compare/contrast of photos from when I was pregnant with Julian to the current pregnancy.  I was hoping to see some differences (like hoping I am not as huge as I was before)!  I definitely am feeling more aches, stretching skin and pressure than before.  But I have to remember that it will be all worth it in the end.

So here is to the next 5 weeks.  I hope our healthy boy continues to grown inside of me until he is ready to make his grand entrance and I am looking forward to the day I can finally hold him in my arms (as opposed to kicking, elbowing, and pushing my insides around!).
