Baby Update!

I have been really bad about blogging about my pregnancy.
I have just been super tired lately and will try and update
more often. I'll also be changing the link to our blog, since
we will soon be a family of four!
I went in for a checkup today with Dr. Walker. I absolutely
love her, and would travel miles just to have her deliver
my babies. She informed me that she is 18weeks
pregnant with her third child, so besides all the techinical
doctor stuff, we usually chit chat about mommyhood
at my appointments. She thinks that this next little guy
is going to be as big, if not bigger than Koben. They are
monitoring the babies weight, and I will have another
ultrasound in about a month. If the baby is 10 lbs (or close
to it) I will be having a c-section. I'm hoping that this will
not be the case.
With this pregnancy, it seems that I feel the baby moving
a lot more than I did with Koben. Maybe my body is just
more aware now. He kicks me so hard, it sometimes hurts!
I never experienced this with Koben. Even though it's
uncomfortable, I love it because it is special to feel him
move in any way. It really makes me think of my pregnancy
with Koben, and how lucky I am to be able to experience
twice now how it feels to carry a child. He rolls a lot too!
I love that Avery is still just as excited to watch my belly
"move" as he was with Koben.
Koben likes to kiss my tummy and say baby, or snuggle
on my tummy. I think he kind of gets it, but not really.
I've been looking for a good big brother book, but have yet
to find one I like. I am soooo excited to see Koben and
his little brother together. Yeah, I'm a little nervous, but
once I see them together, I know my heart will melt and
everything will come together. We just have to get into the
groove of things. Seeing other friends with a toddler and an
infant has really been great, and I get some good tips. Plus
a couple of gals I met through my moms group will also
have children the same age, so that will be a lot of fun.
I can't beleive I am in my third trimester! It has went by
so fast. I've been feeling really good. Just tired and now
sleeping is getting a bit uncomfortable. My due date is June
18. I think we are going to do Koben's 2nd birthday early
since it's so close. Can't beleive my baby will be two soon!
I have been really nostalgic and emotional, and going
through pictures of Koben. It's goes so fast, and
when I'm holding him or playing with him I remind myself
to cherish the moment, because he will never be this
little again. My sweet baby boy, who will now be
the big brother.
Ok, now that I've written a book, I better get off now.
I will update on the pregnancy more frequently.
It's 10:30, why am I not sleeping?! :-)

I know, I hate when you change the background.. you have to fix everything!
So happy to hear things are going well. But a 10 pounder, seriously!? Holy crap... I'd be praying for a c-section!! But for your sake I really hope he's not that big and you can have him naturally!
I'm so glad I'll have you to come to for advice once we have another one! Love you guys, have fun tomorrow... wish we could be there!
