1643 The Baby Countdown…
Baby Countdown: 5 weeks to go
Yeah, 5 weeks! We don’t have the actual day booked, but we’ve got "the week" decided.
When I was pregnant with Gus, I LOVED everything about being pregnant. I was happy & never wanted him to leave my body (except that I was getting anxious to finally meet him).
Oh, so not so this time around!
I was sick as a dog for the first half of this pregnancy. Right when I started to feel better and should’ve started enjoying it, was when my mommy died. I’ve been in a fog ever since.
So last week – at 6 weeks to go, I realized that I am so DONE being pregnant. If I could have this baby tonight, I’d drive myself to the hospital and check-in.
I’m just so uncomfortable. The bones in my pelvis hurt. This baby is (thankfully) healthy & getting bigger all the time, but I’m miserable.
And I want chocolate. Now. And All The Time. I made (or purchased) a pan of brownies or a batch of cookies at least once a week for the past month. At this very moment, TBU is making a grocery run which includes a stop at Bakers Square for a slice of French Silk pie for me. (I’m secretly hoping he buys a whole pie. He knows me well enough to read my mind about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if a whole pie comes through my door.)
Gus is amazing and adorable. He pops out a new word every day. He’s got a full repetoire of funny things to flirt with the ladies.
The sad thing is that sometimes I look at him and I see a little boy where my baby once sat. He’s almost 21 months old now. He’ll be 22 months when he becomes a Big Brother.
Which means I’ll have 2 children under the age of 2 years old…ACH!
I love my kids. I never knew what kind of emotions your own children could render from your soul. I am a blessed woman.
A blessed woman who wants some freaking chocolate already, JEESH!
wow, i can’t believe # 2 is coming so soon! it seems like you just announced the pregnancy a little while ago! (i’m sure you don’t feel the same!)

I have 5 weeks left too- it can’t go fast enough. I didn’t want to go on maternity leave when I did, but at this point I don’t think I’d be able to get up the stairs to my classroom. Hope the chocolate makes things a little better!

Okay. Firstly, yes, after a deceased family member, friend or person of honor. And if it is two people you are naming after, and you feel the need to state so in the birth announcement the only thing I have ever seen done is that an insert was put into the birth announcement and explained the story. The girl who did this was a distant relative, her birth announcement was Noah’s ark (Her son was named Noah) and she inserted a piece of paper (fancy shmancy nice paper) behind the ark, so when you lifted the ark, instead of it just being a flat one piece birth announcement, it was like a card, with the story inside. That’s the only thing I’ve seen like that. Our Sam is Sam for Joe’s brother who passed, but his middle name is Zachary for a friend of Joe’s who also passed and when people ask us his name, thats when we choose to explain it. But sersl. get a good invitation/birth announcement place and tell then your idea, I BET they’ve done things like that before. I cant believe it’s only 5 weeks away. One more thing on this epic note, I think it’s wonderful that you’re naming after two people, my sentiments are that there can NEVER be enough people to continue the legacy of a great
