hello 3rd trimester!

I am 28 weeks pregnant with little brother today. Only 84 days until we get to meet him. We still don’t have a name, or rather I haven’t fully committed to a name yet. Luke and Colin have decided and Colin’s teachers told me goes around talking about “baby brother ---“ at school every day. Ha!

We went to the doctor a couple weeks ago (26 week visit) and will go again in 2 more weeks (30 week visit). At the 30 week visit we are also getting another growth scan – I can’t wait to see this little boy again! This will be our 3rd growth scan because he was measuring a little small way back at the beginning of the 2nd trimester. I am pretty sure he has caught up now and I love the excuse to go back and look at him again. It will most likely be our last chance to get a sneak peek before he is born, yikes.


I feel like I am huge with this little bambino. I have gained 15 lbs so far which is normal, but I feel like I am 10 times bigger than I was with Colin.

I actually had my camera in my purse today so here are my belly shots in a work bathroom...lovely.
 

I can’t believe today is the beginning of the 3rd trimester – this pregnancy has flown by. Part of me is beyond excited that there are only 10 – 12 weeks left because I cannot wait to meet this little miracle that has been growing in my belly. I can’t wait for him to be here and to be a part of our family. I am so looking forward to snuggling on the couch with my two boys and my hubby. The other part of me is freaking out – I still don’t think it has 100% sunk in yet that we will have two little boys in the family. We haven’t picked a name, haven’t started on the nursery, or bought anything yet (not that we really need much). I am really hoping the nesting mode kicks in soon!
