Hello, 3rd Trimester

The third trimester really snuck up on me this time around. With my first pregnancy, I think I counted down to the end of each trimester {maybe even the end of each week}. This time, with Baby #2 {name announcement coming soon}, life has been ten times busier. We put our house on the market when I was only 9 weeks pregnant, sold it in a week, house hunted, moved across town, then came the holidays, a birthday for Allie, and all of a sudden, here I am! I hardly realized how far along I was until I got my weekly e-mail from Baby Center saying "Your Pregnancy This Week: Third Trimester".

I'm sorry, what?!

When did that happen?!

I haven't even started taking a photo each month! Ha! Guess I'm

a little late for that one.

Have we done anything to prepare for this little man?

I'm thinking no. I mean, we have a {sheet-less} crib

set up, and a dresser {completely empty}.

If this baby were to arrive early, we would have

exactly 3 outfits for him. All of our baby

clothes are PINK!

Since I saw that e-mail yesterday, all I've been able to think about are all of my well-meaning mommy friends who are mommies of 2 or more saying "Just wait! Life gets crazy when you have 2! 2 Kids versus 2 parents means the parents are outnumbered! Look out!"...Umm, fear. 

So, these are the thoughts I'm intentionally putting into my head instead:

Lots of moms handle lots of kids every day.

God has given me everything I need

to handle whatever will come my way. This

is true whether I have 1 or 10 kids.

Some days will be hard. That's ok.

Some days will be really fun, and I'll get to watch my

two precious kiddos develop an amazing relationship with

each other.

Some days will be crazy with laundry going un-done,

meals consisting of boxed macaroni and microwaved hot dogs,

and me in pajamas all day. That's ok, too.

I absolutely, completely, whole-heartedly cannot wait

to meet our precious boy in a few weeks, and 

see what amazing things he will add to our family!!

So, with excitement, here are a few of my favorite Pins for baby boy this week:
