It's been quite a while since I blogged and way too long since I posted a belly shot. My pictures are going to go from barely pregnant, to beached whale. I'm beginning to feel like a hippo. I swear I'm bigger than I've been in any of my pregnancies. My pelvis hurts so bad, just lifting my leg to walk is excruciating. Ugh!! I wish I could exercise and keep my weight gain to a minimum, but it just hurts way too bad right now. Such is life.
Since I last wrote we discovered that our baby is a boy!! We were hoping for and really thinking we were going to have a girl so it was a bit of an adjustment, but we are very happy about it now and can't wait to welcome our sweet baby boy. We have decided on a name: Austin David Barlow. As soon as I saw his little face on the ultrasound, I knew it didn't matter what gender he was, I loved him. That made accepting the fact that he was a boy much easier. We are a 1 princess family and I'm sure Charity will get extra spoiled as a result. :)
I have 95 days left till my due date and I cannot wait! Pregnancy is not my friend. I love having a baby though and I guess that's the best way to get one. :) Lets just say I am very happy that this is the last time for me! I can't wait to cradle, cuddle, kiss, and feed my babe. I can't wait to see what he looks like and discover what type of personality he has. I can't wait to feel his soft skin and hair. I can't wait for our family to grow and change and become even more joyful. 95 days!! I'll try to blog more often during that time.
