We had an ultrasound on Tuesday and they estimate him to be 6 lbs 15 oz already. I don't know why we can't just have a little guy this time around! My babies are bigger a month before my due date than many of my friends' babies when they are overdue! At least he's still looking healthy and growing. Can't ask for more than that.
I was 1 cm dilated and 50% thinned out. (Is that too much information for a blog?) I had my 1st at 38 weeks and was induced with my 2nd at 37 weeks. We'll see when this little one decides to come.
My friend did a maternity session for me on Monday night this week. She took amazing photos and even though I prefer to be on the other side of the camera, I decided I needed to post these...
This pregnancy has been so much easier for me than the others. In some ways, I was always on edge with the older boys. We'd done fertility to conceive them and went through losses and struggles. So, when I was finally pregnant I didn't trust that things could turn out well. This time around was a big surprise and it just seems meant to be. Of course I've had the common pregnancy issues- nausea, food aversions, heightened smells, swollen nasty ankles, back aches, etc. However, emotionally I've been much more relaxed and at ease. It's amazing how quickly time has passed and that this little guy will be joining our family any day now.
I have noticed in the past few days a real change in my energy and stamina. It has gone down. Not sure if it's the ridiculous record heat we've had or signs that the end is coming near. Either way, I am grateful for my boys that are big enough to help out some and play together pretty well, as well as Kevin being home a lot more since his job is coming to an end this week. There's a lot of change happening around here and though it's overwhelming at times, God is giving me peace and helping me get through it all one day at a time- and I am grateful for that!
You are beautiful. Relax, enjoy the "I already have 2 boys" quiet and know that all will be well. Blessings to you and yours, Breeana.

Hi Breeana! I was perusing through my favorites on my laptop during Caroline's gymnastics class ... and, surprise, you're expecting!!! Congratulations. You are beautiful and fit, an exquisite mom:) I guess you could say I'm pregnant, too. We're adopting sisters Rachel, 12, and Whitney, 13, on July 30th! Hope to run into you at church soon.
