4 weeks!

Thank you all for the sweet comments and encouragements after my last post! I appreciate the advice too. We will have to find a new "normal" in our lives. One good thing about having a baby is everything slows down for a while and we stay at home and focus on caring for a new little life. I am looking forward to that, although my instinct at this point is "get it all done NOW or I never will!" and that is probably what puts me over the edge!





I am also trying to enjoy every minute with Bryson, and focus on quality time with him. He loves to have me sit and read books to him, or go outside to play. He is starting to combine words and is delighted with this new concept -- "happy meal" "my house" and "mom sit" are his new favorites. He is excited about his new brother and loves to hug and kiss my tummy which makes my heart melt and shows me this will all be worth it! I know this baby will be a blessing for our family.



I only have four weeks until my due date! It's hard to know when that will be, as it could be as early as two weeks away or as late as 5-6 weeks away. I was late with Bryson so I am not sure what to think this time, although I am not getting my hopes up about going early.

So close! Can't believe it! I will say a prayer that everything goes well (and on time!) and that Bryson loves his new baby brother!!! :)

Glad you seem to be having a better day today, but sorry your day Friday was so crazy! :(

You'll do great at having 2 boys, it might take a little while to get the hang of it, but I'm sure it will become just as natural for you as being a mom of 1 is.

Enjoy your last few weeks with Bryson. I remember just loving those last few weeks and getting to spend time with only one.

I highly recommend getting a fence put up. Having a fenced backyard has been a wonderful thing for us. Austin doesn't play in it a ton by himself, but it is so nice to know that I can send him out there by himself and he will be fine, when I need to. SO nice.

Praying for you!
