World's Worst Blogger

An the award for the World's Worst Blogger goes to...ME! I am so terrible at trying to keep up with blogging. Most days I do actually think about updating and posting cute stories about my family, and the on going with our daily lives, but I've procrastinated so badly, that I feel as if it is pointless. But, I'm going to try to keep on with it, because I'm not a quitter. I updated my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram almost daily, so there's that. Of course, I don't feel like I can be as "up-close and personal" on social networks as I can with as blog, because to me, a blog is basically a digital journal that other people can peek into and know what's going on. For me, often use my blogging as a "soapbox" of sorts, on top of cutesy stories about life, my cutie toddler, or my awesome husband. I'm more than positive that the majority of the people who follow my blog are friends on social networks and in real life, so you probably already know what is going on in my life, what outfit I wore today, and probably what I ate for lunch (yeah, I'm THAT instagram user), but I'm going to treat the readers of my blog as if you have no idea what has been happening in my life since the last time I posted. So, here's my update:



GUESS WHAT?! I'M PREGNANT!
(...again...)

Actually, I'm 37 weeks along now. SURPRISE!
I know you all knew this already, but it hasn't been made "blog official", so there you go. 

This pregnancy has definitely not been the easiest, at least compared to my first pregnancy with Caige. I have been pretty miserable this go around, no complications, thankfully, but it has been rough. I've had morning sickness that I didn't have before, I started showing sooner, and my belly is WAY bigger than it's supposed to be, thanks to some extra fluid I'm carrying in the womb (how this happens, I have no idea. And my doctor doesn't have a clear answer on that either). Every week since about week 28, I have been getting ultrasounds and non-stress tests done in addition to my normal check-ups because of the extra fluid, and it causing me to measure further along than I am. For example, at 35 weeks I was measuring like I was 40 weeks (or full term). So, that being said, each week I continue being pregnant, I get bigger, and bigger, and more and more uncomfortable. And I keep getting more and more stretch marks (which I didn't have with Caige either, but I honestly do not care about having them. It's inevitable).

I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining. I really do love being pregnant. I love the feeling of a little life being created in my belly. I love feeling him move around and kick. I love being a mom. Caige is 20 months now, and isn't quite at the age of understanding that he is going to be a big brother, but he makes my world go round. But having TWO little boys? My heart is probably going to burst. And I'm sure Jake feels the same way. We absolutely love being parents, and we make sure an awesome team. I couldn't have asked for a better father to my children, or a better person to be my partner in crime and best friend. (Sorry for the sappiness...moving on!)

That's really all that we have going on in our lives right now that are worth updating. Our lives really aren't that exciting. But here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
