8 Weeks To Go!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted a belly shot, so I figured it was about time. I really wish that I had done this with Michael. This pregnancy has been so much harder on my body I feel like than it was with Michael. Nathan is claiming that I'm carrying more in front this time around, but I don't know for sure because I can't compare. Although, I think I did take some pictures from the night I went it to be induced...I'll have to find those!


In this picture I am 32 weeks and not wearing any make up! I also don't really care about my hair looks, either. I'm daring, I know. But anyway, this pregnancy has not been the funnest. Every morning my blood sugar crashes unless I eat a combination of foods that are high in fiber and protein. This is tough to do! I like just eating cereal, but if I just eat cereal, I feel very nauseous and jittery and faint. Not a fun feeling! The doctor says a few days after I have this baby it should go away. I can NOT wait!

My back and other muscles are hurting more and more, too. It's difficult to roll over in bed and getting out of bed is just not a fun sight, I am sure. I feel like a beached whale! At my last doctors appointment I was measuring 2 weeks ahead, so I'm anxious and curious for my next apt. to see if that's consistent. We're pretty sure this baby will be bigger than Michael--not that it would be tough to beat 7,4!

So that's how this pregnancy is going. Every day I'm getting more and more anxious for this little man to arrive! We've decided on a name, actually decided on it soon after Michael was born, but we're going to name him Alexander, and are planning on calling him Xander. I'm still trying to think of a middle name. Nathan likes Isaac, but I'm not convinced I like it. Chances are he'll be Alexander Isaac, but it could change.

I have so many other pictures and information to put on here, but I just never think about doing it. Poor Michael hasn't really been mentioned in so long! I'll definitely post his stuff by Sunday!
