because he is making me VERY uncomfortable these days! As Christina put so gently (haha!) in a comment to the last post - I am HUGE! My maternity shirts don't fit over my belly! And my pants.... well, the low-rise maternity ones show my belly (because my shirts don't cover it!), the ones that have the panel that go over my belly bother me because you can see the panel (and that just seems wrong) and the kind that are supposed to fit around your belly just don't work... gravity and the roundness of my belly work against me here. And now I have the additional issue of the weather deciding to turn cold - very cold - and I have no idea what to wear anymore! I think I might just wear my yoga pants and Ben's t-shirts for the next 5 weeks....
Anyway, enough complaining.... I am happy that things are progressing well in this pregnancy. I'm not taking it all for granted. Stopping to thank God for the blessings of another child and a relatively "normal" pregnancy is a pretty common thing. I do ask that He soothe Pipsqueak and calm him some too, though! Pipsqueak is SUCH an active one! He likes to move around A LOT, especially when I'm reading before I go to sleep. Last night, I was begging him to stop punching me in the hip - it hurt so bad! Sometimes I ask Ben to have a talk with him.... but I think Pipsqueak knows that he has the upper hand.
Ben and I have decided on a name strategy for when Pipsqueak is born.... The first name is pretty set but the middle name is still up in the air. We have two that we like and we have decided to playing a simple game of chance to choose between the two names after Pipsqueak is born (like flipping a coin or drawing straws). And JUST IN CASE, we have a girl's name picked too. Don't ask what they are though, we're not telling.
Yesterday Ben reminded me of some of the things that I need to do before the impending delivery, like pre-register at the hospital, check over my birthing plan, pack a bag.... this was all stuff that was done way too early with Madelyn but hadn't even entered my mind this time. What does that say about me? Maybe I'm more comfortable than I think. Or maybe I'm in denial! Five more weeks to go!

I can't believe it's only 5 weeks away! I just can't describe how incredibly excited we are, but you're doing all the hard work! We're praying for you as the end nears... and for Ben and Madelyn, too. What an exciting time! I love ya'll so much!
what does it say about you that you haven't pre-registered, done your birth plan, etc. YOU have another child to chase:), as well as being more comfortable, but I think it has more to do with Miss Madelyn:)
Enjoy these next few weeks. For me, it was bittersweet, as it had just been Jadon and myself doing EVERYTHING together then for a few months it seemed we didn't get to do anything together (as we have no family here to help). But then life gets back into a rhythm and then it became mommy, jadon and baby doing our 'stuff'.
So make a few more special mommy and Madelyn memories:)
Take care;)
