By the way only 12 weeks to my due date and only 9 weeks until I’m full term. Crazy!

Baby Bear

Baby #2 Still doesn’t have a name so for now he’s known as either Baby Bear or Peanut. He only has about 2 1/2 short months before he’s here! This has gone by soo fast. It definitely is harder to write like I did for Ellie because now I’m spending all my time taking care of her I’ve barely had time to think about being pregnant. This pregnancy has definitely been a lot harder than the first. Not really due to taking care of Elliot because Elliot is pretty easy but she just is BUSY all of the time which keeps me busy. But this little boy moves all day long, making me short of breath alot and making my back hurt. Definitely more aches and pains than when I was pregnant with Elliot. Definitely way more tired too! I’m already at the beginning of the third trimester… at Christmas I’ll be 36/37 weeks..how insane is that? I have a feeling he’s going to come early. Maybe not that early but I wouldn’t be surprised! I had a dream last night he came early (which is probably just a result of me thinking about it). I just hope we have everything ready to go by the time he is here! I’m excited to see the “need for baby” list is about 1/4 as long as it was with Elliot. Pretty much all we need is bedding, clothes, and a couple other things. We can’t have Baby Bear in all pink!

Anyway, more later! Time for bed!

First Zoo Visit!

Wednesday we went to the Zoo! The weather was so nice and we had a fun time! Elliot liked pretty much everything she would either say “oooo” or just gasp at the animals. Her favorites were the monkeys and the turtles. She probably could have just looked at the turtles and fish all day. We decided we’ll definitely have to go to the aquarium now with her, she would love it! She was scared though of the lizards and was trying to hide under Aaron’s legs if we took her too close. She also kept wanting to get in all the cages with the animals and didn’t understand why she couldn’t just go see the elephants, rhinos, lions, etc. up close.

Here are some more words she has said this week:

owl, hot dog, rice, ice, dice, wall, orange
