At this point, all I can say is "Oh Well" and try to move on. I truly had every intention of documenting this pregnancy using this blog so we'd all have something to look back on in a few years.
I had plans of taking the weekly photos (okay...I'll be honest..maybe monthly photos) of my ever expanding belly, writing about each doctors appointment, etc. I even had a cute story planned for the first time I felt him (by the way...we're naming him Braxton) move but all of that went right out the window when he decided to "bless" me with the exact same pregnancy symptoms as Addison did and the toilet and Chex Mix became my best friend. So...here we are, at 34 weeks and 4 days (which I will call 35 weeks) and I am just now returning to the blog.
So...what have we missed? Let's see??? Christmas...we had a wonderful Christmas despite the fact that the Christmas tree didn't make it out of the box until about 3 weeks prior to Christmas Eve and half of our typical decor never saw the light of day. Oh well, we still enjoyed our last Christmas as a family of 3 (crazy to think that!) and Addison was beyond thrilled that Santa brought her a "Big Girl Bike" complete with pink streamers on the handles.
Our weather was crazy this Winter and we got hit pretty hard with snow a few times. We had almost 6 inches at our house and it pretty much shut the entire state down for a week. Addison loved the snow the first day but as the week went on and she wasn't able to do much, she was ready to see it go. We passed the time by playing games, watching (lots) of movies and baking.
Addison is beyond excited to welcome her baby brother into the world and constantly showers my belly with hugs and kisses. She is so sweet! Each time I leave for work or to run errands, Braxton and myself get separate kisses. Then when I return, she will place her hands on either side of my stomach and tell him how much she missed him...Melts My Heart!
Addison continues to thrive in school and with her learning, I know every parent thinks their child is smart, but Addison truly amazes us daily. She can write anything you ask her to and is always wanting to know how to spell things so she can write them. Her vocabulary and the way she puts things together truly is amazing. She knows how to spell (and write) her entire name as well as Mom, Dad and Braxton. She knows her phone number, my parents phone number, her full address as well as her birthday and my due date (which she tells EVERYONE!). She just learned how to count to 100 on her own and we hear her do that a lot (which makes for some long car rides...Ha!) but we are so proud of her! :)
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I'll have some "baby" news to report then. The plan is to try and determine whether or not this peanut needs to be a C-Section baby or if we're good to go the "other way" so I'll let you know. Hard to believe we're almost there! Let's hope I can at least blog about the next few weeks.
