I had my last monthly visit with my Dr. today and I am already down to two-week visits! I'm 30 weeks! It's crazy! I'm in the home stretch and I can hardly believe it. We had a quick ultra sound to check on a few things that we weren't able to get a good look at when we found out it was a boy, and by quick I mean, I couldn't even recognize what we were looking at. The Dr. even asked what the baby was, so you know it was all business. We're still assuming it's a boy and we're still shooting for a January 20th due date.
I was so lucky when I was pregnant with Dax and Austin was able to make it to every single one of my appointments. This time around I haven't been so lucky, but he made it today. The Dr. was shocked when Austin told him that Dax was 8lbs. 15oz. and said he definitely wouldn't let me go over with this baby. To most pregnant women, that probably sounds like heaven bells, but for me, I have always felt better towards the end of my pregnancies than any other time. I kinda have this fear about being induced. I just want the little baby to come whenever they are ready and don't want to mess with mother nature. I guess we still have lots of time to think about that!! I am measuring a little on the small side, but between Thanksgiving and Christmas I think I can change that real easy---and I'm really excited to try!! Hence, two Thanksgiving dinners.
Okay, now that I'm done fooling everyone sounding cool and collected...I'm actually freaking out over here! In about 2 months there will be two! TWO! TWO kids! TWO boys!! I will totally be out numbered and Dax keeps me on my toes as it is! (By the way, the word of the week isn't NO anymore, it's "No Way!!") What the heck? How do I know who I load in the car first while leaving the other unattended?? Who do I go to first if they are both crying? How do I make sure Dax loves his brother and doesn't try to smoother him...literally?? How do I stay sane with no sleep and running after a two year old! How will Dax know that he hasn't been replaced? I know it's a little late to be worrying about these things, but any helpful hints would be super appreciated!
However, with all those fears, I couldn't be more thrilled to be adding another one to our little family. Dax has been the greatest joy in my life, and to know another little guy is going to come be with us makes me so happy. I love that I will have two boys to cuddle, to hold hands with, to dress in coordination (because "girls match and boys coordinate", right Jamie?), to watch them rough house, to play cars and trucks with, and everything else I love so much. I think who ever thought of the saying "Two is better than one" was definitely a mother of two boys because I couldn't agree more!!!

LOL, yes, that's what I was told by the pros! I loved reading this! You will transition into having two in no time! It will feel normal so quickly, you won't remember when it wasn't that way! You're a great mom! Yea for TWO boys!
I agree.. you will transition into having two very soon and soon it will seem completely normal to be running after two. I always leave Maddie in the car the longest time because she is much more mobile and troublesome than Robby. I tend to lock Maddie in her room at times when I am trying to deal with Robby for naps or bedtime. Either that or a movie goes on to occupy her while I deal with him. We now take baths together (yeah!!), which by the way is SOOO much easier. And we definitely tend to all snuggle and play together as a group! I think the hardest time is the first few weeks when you are exhausted being up all night with the new baby, and then having to chase after your two year old all day long! But sleep EVENTUALLY comes :) Good luck and I know you will make one great mama to TWO boys!
It won't be easy...but it will be WORTH IT!!!!
