38 Weeks

I thought I'd go ahead and throw in a baby bump update since I haven't done this but 3 times this pregnancy! I don't know, there's something about documenting your weight gain/body enlargement that just doesn't seem quite as magical the second time around. My last update was more than 10 weeks ago, and let me tell you, I've grown - or should I say - MILES has grown :-) Carter was born a few days after his due date, so I'm not getting my hopes up for an early delivery....he will come eventually, of that I am certain!!! Without further ado, here I am at 38 weeks and counting.

Kevin wanted me to do a "more interesting" pose, so here it is - my interesting pose at 38 weeks...

I know...amazing, right?

Here I am at 37 weeks with Carter for comparison...

Yes, I know...I was roughly 20 lbs heavier with Carter - it may have something to do with the fact that I am now chasing him around all day long!

As I am not sure what my time is going to look like in the coming weeks, I went ahead and made my pregnancy collage.

Miles Pregnancy

Carter Pregnancy

I thank the Lord for healthy and fairly uneventful pregnancies, but I am pretty "over it" at this point and READY to meet Mr. Miles!!!!

And the Baby's Name Is...

Miles Thomas Watts

I am so very ready/happy/relieved to announce our second baby boy's name to you! You have no idea the stress that naming a child (especially a boy) puts on me. It's probably the biggest job of preparing for a new baby (or so I think). I mean...it's going to be his name his whole life, and his daddy and I have to agree on this huge decision. Where do you even start? 

Since Carter's names came from Kevin's side of the family, we decided to start on my side. I was pretty sure that I wanted the middle name to be Thomas because that's my maiden name. What can I say? - I'm fairly attached to that name :-) Miles is the name of my namesake's grandfather. She (Caroline) was my Great Grandmother, so I guess that makes him my Great, Great, Great Grandfather. 

Ok, Baby Miles, we are *much*more* ready for your arrival now :-)

Note: The name art pictured above is not ours, but it is what I would like to do. I will repost later when we make our own version. 

Baby #2 Update

I have done a terrible job with documenting this pregnancy.

This picture was taken at either 21 or 22 weeks. I honestly cannot remember...maybe Kevin will remember :-) Ha! The reason I never take pictures of myself? Well, that's simple - I never wear "real" clothes anymore except for (MAYBE) 2-3 days a week. We hang around the house in sweats & PJ's for the most part around here, and we're totally cool with that!

The pregnancy is going great, and we are gearing up for another precious little boy. My mother was here for a few days last week, and we did a lot of organizing and cleaning out of closets/under beds. By the time she left, we organized every single closet in the house, cleaned out under every bed, broken down our twin bed guest room, and moved our queen bed guest room into the twin bedroom. Carter's big boy room will be the old queen bedroom, so it is now (basically) empty and waiting for the big boy room to start coming together - that's the fun part (to me!). His room will remain sports themed.

The new baby's nursery's theme is yet to be decided, but I'm inspired by this artwork I found on Etsy (I think I may try to make something like this for above his crib!).

Drumroll Please....

We are super excited to announce that Carter is going to have a BABY BROTHER in May 2012!!! That's right, Watts Baby #2 is a BOY, and we couldn't be more excited! I'm thinking I may have to get me one of these shirts...

BoyMom - that's me :-)

Baby #2 Update

Well, I thought I'd post a bit about this pregnancy. Here I am at 16 weeks pregnant.

(my camera has been acting up lately...this is a little out of focus)

Here I am pregnant with Carter (for comparison).

Sorry, we forgot to take one at 14 weeks! I'm feeling great. This pregnancy is flying by, and I have no complaints. I honestly have no time to think about the fact that I am indeed going to have another baby in a very short 5 months (AHHHHH!). We find out what we are having on the 21st of December. Honestly, the only thing I want for Christmas is a healthy baby! I would love another boy - I would love a little girl....it's really a win, win situation. I can't wait to know!!!

Flashback Tuesday

Check back soon, and I'll be posting about my Top 10 baby products and our visit to see the cousins!!! Until then, here's some flashback pictures...

I can't believe it's been 10 weeks since this...

Here's something I REALLY don't miss...

Ewwwwwww...Haha!

Happy Tuesday!!!
