I am due in two months. In those two months I have Halloween to whisk by and Christmas preparations in the mix. Things will either go really quick or I'll be so huge and uncomfortable they'll drag out for the first time. I have so much to do from now until then that I hope things just go by at a comfortable pace (very unlikely I know).
I have had a little guilt on my shoulders too with this pregnancy. I feel negligent with the lack of pregnancy pictures I've taken (not on purpose) and updates on how I feel throughout my blog and even ultrasound pictures. I have some they just weren't given to us digitally so I would have to go ahead and scan them... that seems tedious to me and I don't think I even know how to use our scanner come to think of it.
With all that being said DOESN'T mean I haven't felt JUST as excited and thrilled about the thought and anticipation of meeting this little angel. I can't wait to get to know her, see her and discover her individual personality and character traits. I'll admit that a lot of the time I think I'm going to have another little Brooklynn running around but than I am quick to realize that even though my sister Jenn and I are only 16 months apart we couldn't be more different in our personalities and looks for that matter. Thus leaving me to think I really can't know what to expect at all!
I have to thank this future daughter of mine. She has been a breeze so far. Her little kicks and punches are so mild and she doesn't keep me awake the way Brooklynn did! She just flutters around making me feel like she's content and just being patient down there. Maybe it's me doing something right this time but this little girl never gets hiccups. I thought they were cute with my last pregnancy but after sometime I'd get a little frustrated with them especially when the continual pulse would keep me from falling asleep at times.
I haven't had any morning sickness, heartburn etc and I'm all to grateful for it. She's made it easy enough for me to keep up with life for the most part and her energetic 18 month older sister.
I have had a few weird quirks with this pregnancy though don't get me wrong. In my first trimester I craved won ton soup. I would walk myself over to the Chinese food place behind the house and order a personal soup for myself and purchase it with pocket change and walk home. (That just seems so funny to me now for some reason...) Lately I haven't been able to get enough apples too. Today in particular has been a little crazy if I do say so myself. My breakfast consisted of homemade apple cider, half an apple that I shared with Brooklynn, homemade muffins made with applesauce, and throughout the day I have been eating spoonfuls of apple sauce right out of the jar. I even just finished some as a late night snack! I won't be shocked if this little girl has a sweet spot for apples in her diet I guess (unless I've made her sick of them all to early in life).
Again I'll add that I'm grateful so so grateful for how things have gone so far. I know I am blessed and will add again that I feel so blessed to have the surprise of her coming to join us as soon as she is. I have some close friends who have struggled with trials of conception and my heart breaks for them. I want to them to know the joy I find in being a mother, and know they yearn for it too. It's the greatest blessing and calling I've ever had and it's only about to get more exciting.

I didn't know you craved won ton soup! Haha that seriously is hilarious that you would walk over to get some. I'm so excited to meet your next little baby girl! I picture Brooklynn wanting to hold her a lot like she holds Max! Haha should be fun!
