strong little man

Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant, haha. It's so different this time around!! I am SO excited, but just so distracted. I also sometimes forget it's going to be a boy. I didn't know my body could make boys!

It's strange that I could forget because he is so active!! SO much for people freaking me out about anterior placenta (thanks Kels and Jenna for being the only reasonable people I talked to), because I feel him strong all the time. It's been so awesome. I love to feel him moving around in there, even though he's most active at night and sometimes wakes me up. I don't even care. I just love it!! Kick away, little man.

I am finally feeling less sick which is so nice. Food is still blah, but it doesn't get me that horrible nauseated, acid feeling most of the time anymore. I still crave sugar, and could eat cereal all day every day. I am tired all the time, but that's probably because I go to bed way too late and have a toddler.

Sadie is sooo good. She's got attitude and she's hyper, but she is so good ay playing independently. It's made it easier for me to take it easy, and it gives me hope that I wont be so overwhelmed when the next one comes. She's seriously been such an easy baby, and now toddler. We are so spoiled! The next kid is going to be a nightmare, I just know it, haha. I kinda can't believe we're starting over. But I am craving newborn snuggles. Although toddler snuggles are pretty awesome. She uses my bump as a pillow sometimes.

The warm weather is coming and it means HE'S coming soon. That kinda blows my mind. I'll be induced beginning of June so it's seriously just 3 more months. Yikes, haha. I am so glad I am having him at the beginning of Summer. That's when Madelyn was due (I will have him just about a week after her due date), and I was so excited about that due date. I had a hard time when I found out Sadie was due in the Fall. I wanted my summer newborn! I am excited to be getting one. I had a hard time adjusting to a newborn when it was dark really early and freezing cold. I am excited to have it be the exact opposite this time.

This one below is my most recent bump picture, and it's really nice to have a hard bump and not just bloat. One of the best parts of pregnancy is never having to suck your stomach in! Haha. But honestly, I am really enjoying these days of less sickness and lots of movement. I am feeling more and more connected to him every day. When pregnant with Sadie, the worst "sassy" always came to mind. I would tell Nathan and he would laugh and say I couldn't know my baby's personality when she was still inside me. But pretty sure sassy is the #1 word used to describe Sadie, so I think it's mother's intuition. With Madelyn, it was always the word "sweet." I will venture to say that one is true of our very sweet angel too. This time, it's the word "strong." (All the words starting with s is not planned, haha). I feel very much that this boy will be strong and maybe a little more mellow than his sassy sister. This word has really guided my choice in names, much like it did with Sadie and Madelyn. (Can you get a sassier name than Sadie, or a sweeter name than Madelyn???) I really want to give this boy a good, strong name that will reflect who he is. We have a couple choices, but gosh naming a kid is scary, haha. Anyway, now I am rambling about my magical ability to guess my children's personality traits and then name them accordingly. (If only this could make me money). But basically, we are excited. And we like this kid. And I can't believe he will be here in 3 months!
