This baby is getting big! I was looking at old pictures from when I was pregnant with James and I think I was this big when I was 37 weeks! I still have almost 8 weeks to go and I am trying to imagine how big I will be at the end. As long as I can still walk around, I can handle it :)
I feel like it is time little (or big) "DQ" got a post all to himself. I am starting to feel a real connection to him despite being distracted and busy with everything else going on. He is a mover and I think it is his way of reminding me that he is here. I feel like he has a certain presence and is going to be sweet and full of energy, just like his big brother. But I guess we will see once he is actually here. For now I want to take note of the things I know for sure. He likes to kick or punch my bladder. Luckily, I had a c-section so I still have pretty good pelvic floor muscles to hold back any accidents... but it is still uncomfortable! I don't know if it is all of his moving around or if it is just because he is #2, but I am a lot more achy than I was with James. My pelvis and pubic bones sometimes hurt so bad that walking hurts. I just got a belly support band and I am hoping that will alleviate some of the pain. My belly button is poking out this time, but I don't have that line that runs down the center of my belly yet. I had it with James, but can't remember when it appeared. I guess there is still time. I had a weird infection in my right eye that I didn't even know about until I had my eyes check. About 5 appointments later... it was fine. I have been pretty healthy lately and I am grateful for that! That is about it as far as a physical update goes.
When I went into the doctor last week, we scheduled the c-section. Looks like DQ will be joining our family on March 15th. I am scheduled for 1030am, which seems perfect. I am glad we will be able to spend some time with James in the morning before we go to the hospital. I hope everything goes as planned and DQ doesn't decide to come earlier than that. It is weird to think I am just going to walk into the hospital, check in and then lay down on a table and have a baby with out even going into labor! Things are so different this time around. I am sure there will be some anticipation the night before the c-section... but it is nothing like the unknown factor of a normal birth. Since I am a planner, I guess I kind of like the idea of having it planned out.
The next couple of weeks I am going to be busy traveling to Utah to see the twins, Vegas for work and hopefully and little get away with Haws before we are home bound for a while. Those weeks are just going to fly by! Then I will be on maternity leave and getting things organized with both the baby and James. We are going to try transferring James into his new bed and I am hoping he can be adjusted before Davis is here. I know his world is about to be rocked and I just don't want it to all happen at the same time. I am sure I will be writing about how that whole thing goes. I guess that is it for now. We have an ultra sound in a couple of weeks and are excited to see if we can tell what he is going to look like!

honestly, to me you don't look big at all. it's probably annoying to hear - it would annoy me. you look great - even if you don't always feel great.
you are so cute, and I agree with Brooke you don't look big at all, you have such a lean little body with a belly it's so cute!
