baby bump #2: 32 weeks

things are starting to feel quite crammed around these parts and we have 8 weeks to go! we are so excited to be in the 30s. the next two months are bound to be uncomfortable but the "i'm feeling really squished" signs mean that meeting our baby girl is getting closer and closer! 

the day i reached 30 weeks i wanted to do a rocky dance wherever i went while giving strangers double fist pumps and belt out, "i can do this!" 

seeing the light at the end of the tunnel has been so, so good for me this pregnancy. 

i want this little girl to be as chunky as possible for her big debut. i've been eating almonds and avocados like they are going out of style. i walk to the bathroom every morning like a crippled-80-year-old woman. nothing wrong with crippled-80-year-old women... only when you feel like one at 25! i take lots of deep breaths throughout the day because it hurts to breathe. on saturday night, daron had to do up my shoes for me for our date. nothing says a "hot date" than that, right!?

all of these signs are showing up about a month before they did with carter. hello, baby #2. be nice to your mama! 

i'm a bit nervous about what day-to-day life will bring with 2 littles. i have concerns, and fears and insecurities and sometimes i think to myself, "ahhh! what am i doing!?" luckily i have a husband who doesn't worry about a thing and makes my cray cray self calm down. 

i have not been a mother for very long, but one thing that is reaffirmed to me over and over is how worth it the job is. sometimes after being discouraged or overwhelmed, i'll have an experience that makes me see the big picture and for those few seconds, i get it. it all makes sense. and i count my lucky stars i have a chance to raise carter and his soon to be, "baby seester." 

happy motherhood & happy 32 weeks! (to me)
