Being pregnant is sort of a strange, miraculous, uncomfortable, beautiful thing! It amazes me to see my body change before my eyes. It isn't all pretty...isn't there supposed to be some sort of pregnancy glow??? There are good days and not so good days emotionally and physically. It has definately been much more tiring with a very energetic (almost) 3 year old! Hazel definately keeps me laughing though, and she keeps me in check. If i get too stressed out for her liking, she tells me to "just belax mom!" Hearing her say that does make me relax, and chuckle at what a funny little person she is.
I will admit,
i am scared to death of the idea of caring for two children. Is that so bad to admit? I don't feel quite ready yet...not in a hurry like i was the first time around! Don't get me wrong, i am so excited to meet my little boy, just a bit nervous because i know what's coming. Crossing my fingers he'll be a little angel...did i just jinx myself?
Anyways, after doing nothing for a couple of months except sit on my butt and eat taco bell, i have challenged myself to walk 300 miles before the baby gets here. I started in January and I am at the halfway point. I have 150 more to go. I just walk on the treadmill, it's a little boring but i feel so much better and it helps me sleep at night. I wish i was one of those girls that could run while pregnant but my body says "yeah right!"
Do you like my new gym outfit? A white cable knit sweater, white leggings and i'm ready to hit the treadmill.

Kate, Kate, Kate, I feel the same way. The thought of a second child is daunting. Don't feel bad. I'm getting scared too! It's normal, but I really think we'll be just fine. Hopefully our girls will love their new little siblings and be "bery" helpful. Nice job on the walking goal. That's awesome. I cannot understand how some pregnant people go running... can I just say ouch??? You'd need some sort of over the shoulder baby bump holder...
i will admit that motherhood with 2 is not easy (you can probably sense that from my most of my blog posts this year). grace was such a chill baby and will has not been. it has been an adjustment, but it is getting better. a lot better. and luckily for you, your baby won't be born in the dead of winter and during RSV season. you will be able to leave the house - where we have not been able to do a ton because someone is always sick. so hang in there, you will make it work just right for you!! and i am sure sweet hazel will be a great big sis!!
hey i love reading your blog. I hope you don't mind. I am Nick Sorensens wife. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly... I can't imagine how cute your baby will be. YOur family is darling!
I feel the same way! When I logged onto my blog today and saw that my baby ticker says 9 weeks left I almost started crying! I am so excited to have another little girl to take of, however I feel so unprepared! But really let's be honest, can you really prepare yourself for such a huge life changing event. I choose to just take it as it comes, one day at a time, and keep reminding myself not to get worked up over the little things!
