28 weeks. 18 Months.

Hello third trimester and hello to my one and a half year old boy! Lots of mixed emotions going into today, as time seems to be going a little too quickly for me. I've never been the mom who always misses when her baby was a baby but today I am reminiscing! I love all the fun stages that Carter goes through in all of their glory (and struggle) and think that he just keeps getting better and better, if that's at all possible! 18 sweet, precious months with you on this earth making your father and I better people. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

28 weeks marks the third trimester with our second little one, and the amazing time I was having in my second trimester came to an end. Not going to lie, I have been super sad about it. We felt so great these last few months that I figured those third trimester aches and pains would ease up on me slowly but they are here and have made their appearance full force. I don't remember ever having been in this much pain while carrying Carter, having to wear belly support all day and taking breaks on breaks on breaks at the grocery store is already old and we still have a ways to go!

So far we have gained 9 pounds and I couldn't be more proud after having gained a whopping 60 pounds with Carter! At this point in my pregnancy with Carter I had gained nearly 40 pounds.. I have been extremely determined to keep history from repeating itself!

These last few weeks are only going to fly by as we get more and more prepared for your arrival, although I'm sure as much preparing as we do nothing will prepare us fully. No one can expect to know everything when it comes to adding another family member! I rest on the fact that I have "been there and done that" once already in my past but remain open to the knowledge that this baby is already so different from his or her sibling. I can't have expectations as to how our lives will be or who this little one's personality will resemble because they are unique all their own.

28 weeks down. 12 to go. We can do this!
