Bump Update

Baby Boy To Be:

Doing well and growing strong. We are right on track for May 26th, Granny's birthday.  I'm very excited to be having a May baby! And Owen is really starting to like the idea of being a big brother. We had a long conversation last night about all the things he could teach his baby brother one day. He says, "Baby Brother will cry and go poopie in a diaper. I will help Mommy change him. Baby Brother drinks milk in a bottle like, Whyla." He said he will teach him to play and ride a bike.... This stuff really melts my heart.

Owen's been around so many infants, his friends siblings, and lately I think he's getting the hang of how to be gentle with them. He gave Lyla a sweet, gentle, kiss and hug last week. So that is huge! Baby Brother will be called Colin or Owen says, Colwin. We finally have agreed on his name! Really Owen made the decision for us....We asked him if he likes Colin or Harris and he said, "Baby Bother Colwin!" So that made it very easy for us to pick and move forward.

We haven't done a thing to prepare for this little bundle of joy. We are so behind the 8 ball on everything. But it's going to be just fine because we have so much stuff already and we kinda know what to expect. Gulp! I am much more nervous this time around! I'm sad to say there are days when I forget I'm pregnant, but I do get to enjoy his swift kicks from 8-11pm each night.  (I guess this just means I'm feeling much better then I did in the first trimester.) This is his most active time and boy, is this little baby active. Gulp -again! He has some strong legs already. And will defiantly take after his Daddy! His ultrasound images look so much like Owen that it's very surreal when I see him on screen. Guess it's also safe to assume he will look just like Daddy. I don't think I'd make for a handsome man, so just as well.

I'm going to post a picture soon since I think I finally look somewhat pregnant. I'll ware the same shirt I took my first pregnancy photos with Owen, around 16 weeks. We are currently 25 weeks in and only 2.5 weeks until we are in the 3rd and final trimester. This is passing oh so fast! I can not believe it! I really need time to slow down a little, as I feel very ill prepared for my next boy to arrive. Owen keeps me so busy and when I have any free time blog or plan for baby, all I want to do is sleep. Which I don't get to do often, but that's what I dream about all day. Well, speaking of sleep. It's almost 8:00 pm and I can not wait to turn out the lights and crash. Good night my friends.

To My Little Baby to Be:
I am so sorry I have not made a better effort to keep track of you on this journey, but please know I will love you just the same.  You are always on my mind! And Daddy and I are looking forward to meeting you very soon.

Love,
Mommy
