36 weeks and only God knows

Well, the little man is still kicking away in my belly as the countdown continues. This pregnancy has been quite similar to Champ's in many ways, but in some it is quite different. I have this little wish that his arrival will be sooner rather than later and not because it's hot and not because I have a huge belly and not because the I have a head on my bladder...I really want to beat a September 1st date. Why? That is the Texas cutoff for starting school. I really want my boys to be only 2 years apart in school to keep them as close as possible. In all my life I try to place my full trust in God and He is the only one knows when things will truly happen. So again, I pray but trust in His path.

The biggest change so far in this pregnancy is contractions. Champ came only with the doctor's prodding and was running from "the light" until he was forced out. This little guy has been hinting to come but every start, just stops. I get slight cramping and initial signs to get my hopes up and it goes as quickly as it comes.

Champ's last couple of weeks lead me to believe that he was going to have a head like a rock. He has proven that trait more than once over the last couple of years. I'm not sure what this little man is hinting at. Will he be indicisive or laid back? All I know is seeing how wonderful of a gift Champ has been, I can't wait to meet this little man.

well into week 35

Just a quick update...Jeff and I got to see the little guy one more time before his arrival. We went to see how big he was getting and he was estimated at 5lb 13oz. This little guy looks to be tracking his brother well. Champ is getting ready. I told him yesterday someone was coming to see him and he responded "brother?" I had to let him down that it was just his aunt and uncle. He loves his time with them, so he didn't mind his first guess wasn't right.

We are all just enjoying the quiet before the storm now. Don't quite know when things will get crazy, but we are as ready as we can be. Stay tuned and we'll update everyone as we learn more.

34 weeks...

Just wanted a quick update for all those eagerly awaiting the newest addition to our family. We visited the doctor today and everything is going well. The little guy has a strong heartbeat at 152 bpm and is kicking a great deal. Things are progressing very similarly to Champ, so we appear to be on a similar timeline.

In my previous posts, I promised some pictures. Champ received his LSU jersey in time for his school day and was the best dressed in the class. We took some pictures and would lover to share them. Hope you enjoy.
