Getting closer

Here is my 35 week belly…

A lady at the gym last week asked me if I was having twins.  I said, “nope, just one.”  Her reply, “one BIG one then, huh?  Seriously? 

I actually had Derek measure my stomach either last week or the week before because I hadn’t done so in months and was curious as to how I would compare to when I was this pregnant with Braedon.  Yeah, what I measured then was how big I was at delivery with Braedon.  They say the second one just looks bigger, right?  RIGHT?  I sure hope so because Braedon was only 6 pounds 14 ounces and I pushed for three and a half hours to get him out.  I can’t imagine if Adilynn is any bigger.  I’m not going to lie, I’m a little worried about my size and hers!

Other than feeling huge things are still going well.  I have been having a ton of contractions though, something that I also never had with Braedon, but I think that is pretty common for your second baby as well.  I can still go pretty much all day but by the time 5 or 6 comes around, my feet are feeling it and I’m ready to sit with them up.  I took Braedon to Happy Hollow today after the gym and as he was running around like a maniac I saw a mom breastfeeding while her little girl sat beside her and waited patiently.  That got me to thinking, what on earth am I going to do when I have to sit and breastfeed?  I really don’t think Braedon would sit for 2 minutes and if Adilynn is anything like Braedon, she will need at least 40 minutes to eat.  I’m thinking we won’t be leaving the house for the next 6 months!  For now I am focusing on enjoying the last few weeks of having it be just me and the Baeo!

You look great! Love the name. Henry was half a pound less than Claire and took 2 hours less than she did to arrive. There is hope! :) I wish you the best in this last month!

People are so dumb! I need to get you that t-shirt that says, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Try not to say anything stupid."
