It's Getting Real, Yo.

With my mom being in her third trimester now, things are slowing starting to hit me. In a good way of course! The other day, I washed and folded away all the baby clothes we have so far, and filled the dresser/changing table with burp cloths, hats, bibs, blankets, etc. I'd say excited is an understatement. It's been over seven years since we've had an actual baby in the house, and I couldn't be more greatful at the fact that I'll be holding one in my arms in a just a few months! 

People ask how my mom is doing quite often. She won't sugar coat it much. She's nauseous almost all day, headaches are consistent, aaalways hot. Ya know, the usual prego stuff right? But to top it all off, she threw her back out a few weeks ago which makes the whole thing 10x worse to say the least. Bending over and picking things up, lifting heavy weight, stress...she should be avoiding those most. But how do you expect a mother of six to do so? We've been trying to help reduce it all. But she's stubborn and sometimes she just NEEDS to vacuum. Or else. 

We've had just a couple ultrasounds, one to check in on the baby's organs, then a follow up today because there was evidence of an enlarged kidney. But all is well. Sizzly estimates his weight at 3lbs. give or take a pound. Lots of fluid though. Which makes my mom feel like she's carrying a 20 pound human inside. We're just hoping he doesn't break Jude's 10lbs. 1oz. record.. 

Can't wait to meet you baby brother!
