Blog Slacking

As the arrival of our new little one fasts approaches I realized I haven't updated or written much about this pregnancy. Slacking or second pregnancy syndrome as I like to call it.  So here we are almost the end of June and I am 36 weeks. I have luckily only gained about 30lbs this time around, haven't had much swelling, and seem to be carrying all in my stomach. Jaxon will for sure be a big baby like his sister but its looking as he might to be as big. Althought at my last appointment this week I was measuring 41.5 weeks which in my opinion is a little to large from what I have been measuring. My doctor didnt seem to concerned and if doesn't come on his own I. The next couple of weeks she will induce me around the 11th.

We finally set up all the baby gear the other night and Kelbie is finally seeming excited about her brother coming. She says his name and goes to all the baby things and says " Jaxon sleep here" or "Jaxon's toys" etc. I really think she will love having a brother, just having to share mommy might take a little adjusting too. The carpet is being put into his room Saturday which means I should have is nursery completed by Sunday. I have already washed and put away all his clothes, blankets, towels, etc. now it is just a waiting game, kinda like with Kelbie but it going a lot faster this time around.

Kelbie is blossoming in her speech and being more independent. She has started showing interest in potty training and she has being doing it pretty much on her own. She still wears a diaper an usually soaks it, but when we are home and she isn't wearing anything she always goes to the potty when she needs to go. I told myself I wasn't going to push her because I didn't want her to regress once the baby was here, but she has decided she is ready and I am all for it.

I officially don't have to be back to work until October and it is great. I could even take longer if I wanted but we will see how things work out. My mom will be retiring in December to start watching the kids which will be nice. I am sure I am forgetting things but hey at least I got so,etching written down. Now to enjoy the last couple of weeks as a mom of one and cherish the special moments with Kelbie before her world changes forever. Updates on baby to come later. Hoping he makes his appearance  around the 4th as I think that would be a pretty cool birthday.

Mini Me

Just wanted to share how much Kelbie looks like me. When she was little she was all James but now at almost 3 she is the splitting image of me when I was that age, curls and all.
