24 Weeks!
How far along? 24 weeks! Officially six months pregnant.What is Baby G up to? Baby G is the size of a cantaloupe, and this cantaloupe is pushing wayyyy out as far as my belly will stretch. I feel so front heavy, which is totally the opposite of how I felt with Finn. He was pushing up on my ribs for the latter half of pregnancy, while this babe seems to want to climb out of my belly button! Baby G is moving a lot, too, but mostly at nighttime when I'm laying in bed.How am I feeling? I'm feeling good. As my doctor put it, I'm in the cruise control part of pregnancy. Still not big enough to be that uncomfortable, but I'm enjoying my bump and definitely looking pregnant. My back has been a bit of an issue recently, but it's not the worst. Other than that, I'm just enjoying this pregnancy.What am I wearing? I'm living in dresses and flat shoes, and that's totally okay with me. It's just too easy! I'm feeling a little anxious about the last few weeks of pregnancy when dresses will be a little too cold for my liking!
What am I craving/eating? I'm not craving anything specific, but I've been eating a lot of BLT sandwiches for some reason! It's just an easy, satisfying meal LOL.What's on my mind lately? Oh boy. How much time do you have? I've been thinking about a lot going on in my life, but the biggest is the anxiety I'm feeling around introducing Finn to a new baby. I've seen him interact with babies, and he is so sweet. But how will it be when there is a baby here to stay?I keep having this calming thought that having the second baby will not as big of a shock to the system as having the first. For the most part, we know what to expect this time. Going from total freedom to 'holy crap we have a kid' was quite the adjustment. We already have a pretty set schedule around Finn, so we expect more of the same. However, the idea of having another newborn is not always easy. Those first few months were extremely tough for me with Finn, and I'm hoping that my expectations will help ease a lot of the stress this time around.What am I looking forward to? I'm excited to close out the summer with my boys! We've had such a great summer traveling, swimming, decorating our house, and just enjoying being together. I am looking forward to another month of us!Best moment of the week? Finn has started saying his name and it's literally the sweetest sound I think I've ever heard. The first time I heard it, it brought a tear to my eye. I love that little boy!
