30 Weeks

It's hard to believe I'm already 30 weeks along. It seemed like when I was pregnant with Eli, the weeks dragged on and on, and this time they are flying by! Before Christmas it felt like I still had a long time, but now it's only a couple months away. And to be honest, before Christmas, I'd hardly thought about this poor child or the fact that I would have TWO children. We were just so busy and I didn't feel like I had space in my brain to really think about it. Now, I've thought about it a lot and I'm getting really excited! We're getting our life figured out and things in order and I feel like I will actually be ready (or as ready as one can be) for a 2nd child by the time this little boy comes. We're still not sure on a name. We were thinking about Lucas/Lukas (thoughts?), but now we're not sure. It's so hard! I wish he could just tell me what he wants to be called, or as Jeremy said last night, I wish I could just see a picture of him - that would make it easier. :)

Anyway, I also realized I have not taken a single pregnancy shot with this one, so I decided today, at 30 weeks, I would do so. Pretty funny how different things are between the 1st and 2nd child. I took pictures every couple weeks with Eli. :) Oh well! So, for your viewing pleasure (haha), here I am!
And a thank you to my mom for the very cute shirt she got me for Christmas. Some days I feel extremely large, and then I look at pictures of me getting ready to go to the hospital with Eli, and I remember I still have a long way to go. :) But we're feeling more mentally prepared these days and luckily, I don't have a lot to do to get physically prepared because I already have a bunch of boy stuff! Hooray!

You're very cute, Sarah. I like Lucas, by the way, not that it matters what I like!

Sarah you are too cute! You look so pretty in your picture and you look beautiful pregnant! It is funny how the 2nd time around is so different. You will have so much fun with your new little baby boy. I am getting so excited to have another sweet grandbaby to love.

You are ridiculously cute pregnant! No fair! And I hear ya on the difference between first pregnancies and second ones. Unfortunately, I find that the baby stage flies by even faster, too, the second time. All just going by too fast!!! But you'll love having 2 boys! It's fun :) And Lucas/Lukas is a great name!

I'm not sure how I feel about Lukas, but I am sure how I feel about Lucas. I'm a fan. ;)
As long as you call him Luke and have his middle name be Skywalker...

You are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Whatever you decide is fine. But don't be surprised if he gets called Luke instead of Lucas/Lukas.

Funny, I don't like the name John, but I have a Jonathan. Don't know why, but Jon doesn't sound as bad as John. Crazy me.
