Hello Third Trimester!

SO glad to see you.
I don't know. Everyone says that the second pregnancy goes by "sooooo" fast, but this has not been my experience. Maybe it's because I am not one of the lucky women who "looooove" being pregnant or maybe it's because I spend too much time focusing on my quickly appearing spider veins and the fact that I can't go surfing or drink wine. Anyway, I couldn't be happier that we are 2/3 of the way through and that we are that much closer to meeting our new little guy.
We are busy preparing Lance's new "big brother" room- repainting, figuring out furniture, etc. and he'll move in there before the end of the month. I'm a little anxious about the move going smoothly. I keep telling myself that Lance is not being kicked out of his room, but is getting a promotion to Big Brother, which I know he is going to love.
I'm still not sure how much he understands, but Lance's interest in babies in general and baby brother continues to grow. He loves reading all of the new baby books and asks me to pull up my shirt at least twice a day so he can pat, hug, and kiss baby brother. It's pretty adorable! In the mean time, I'm trying to help him understand that the baby will be here to stay with us forever and that he won't be a pretend baby like his doll. We'll see!
Lance and I are both still recovering from a brutal cold with fever- Lance hit 102.5 (his highest yet) and has been pretty sensitive these last few days. I've been dreaming of a decongestant, but feel on the up and up energy-wise... thank goodness! Stef and his iron clad immune system are doing great. He's been our faithful caretaker!
Here are a couple pics of the under the weather mommy and boys. I got my first ever "Are there two in there?" comment this weekend to be followed up with a "you're due in May? You're so small," today. Ahhh, the joys of the pregnancy peanut gallery. :)
