Three boys!!
(Excuse the blurry picture, but seriously. It's adorable.)I'm officially 30 weeks pregnant this week. Wow. This pregnancy really has flown by. My first pregnancy took forever. I couldn't wait for my life to change. To become a mom. Everything was brand new. We couldn't wait to meet this little boy that would make us parents! Our pregnancy was perfect and easy. Then the day finally came when we met our little baby boy.(Liam and daddy)Pregnancy number two crawled by as well. We had couch a whirlwind of a pregnancy. We found out we were pregnant when we started to, what we thought for four weeks, miscarry Levi. What a way to find out your pregnant. Then we had to get tests done to make sure everything was going the way it should and surprise! You're still pregnant. The rest of our pregnancy consisted of more false test results. They told us he had down syndrome, then Edwards syndrome, and then they asked us if we wanted to have an abortion. At the end of a long pregnancy, we were greeted with an adorable, perfectly healthy, baby boy.(Levi and daddy)Pregnancy number three won't slow down! I can't wait to meet little Lucas, but I'm a little. bit. terrified! What in the world is my life going to look like with three kids under four? Chaos. That sounds about right. I love my children and can't wait to see what our new normal looks like. I won't be able to carry all my children at the same time. I will quickly remember what sleepless nights look like. My house will be overrun with boys.I will only be able to go grocery shopping if they have the large car carts. If they don't it will be completely worth it to scratch the trip. For the first few weeks, my days will be full of spit up stains, poopy diapers, taking kids to preschool, late nights, early mornings, extra mommy weight, cluster feedings, and reminding my two older children they cannot feed Lucas ANYTHING.Then my husbands favorite, lot's of easy meals like... pizza!Don't worry, this isn't one of those posts. Those super negative posts that make you want to smack the whiney person. As hard as those first few months of transition will be, I can't wait. I love the newborn days. They are so little and squishy. Everyone has so much grace for you after you have a baby. Husbands don't expect gourmet meals. Children are completely content playing with visiting family members all day. Moms visit so you can spend your entire day nursing on the couch. Aunts come so you can sleep in and try to get back a little bit of sanity for the day. Then cousins and little brothers. They are amazing. They do all the odds and ends for you. I love those transition times. The worst part is the month after when everyone is gone and you're expected to be a grown up all by yourself. Those of you out there with multiple kids, help! What advice do you have for moms going from two to three kids?
