One of my great friends, Amanda Watson, who photographed Solomon's birth, is two weeks farther along than me with her pregnancy and we decided to swap maternity photos yesterday! We met at POPS in Arcadia and spent some time around there switching out kids and outfits for photos. I am so excited, and nervous, about adding another child to our family. I can't believe that I only have 10 more weeks to have Solomon all to myself! I need to cherish this time with him because it's going to get crazy around here as Silas is born during the last month of school. Josh will be busy with baseball and wrapping up the school year and I feel like I will be on lock down in the house for 5 weeks with a 22 month old and a newborn.
I'm also getting a little more aware of what is going to happen to my body as I prepare for my first natural birth at home. I'm a little nervous about the whole experience and how well I will handle it all, but am also excited to experience something so different (besides the pain of course!).
I also thought that I would stay skinnier during this pregnancy and that is totally not happening. I'm up 45 pounds already and my midwife is not happy about that each time I "weigh in" for her. Oh well, I plan on losing it all again, but that ice cream just calls my name too often and with this increased depletion of energy I have a harder time saying NO!
YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!! I'm 23 wks preggers with my first and am SO excited!!! I got a couple pictures done this weekend and couldn't find anything to wear... I didn't look half as cute as you but it was fun none the less :) Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and please let us know how the birth goes! I am thinking of trying to go all natural at a birthing center... I'm just so scared of the pain this being my first baby... YIKES! You look amazing and don't you worry about a stupid number on the scale! As long as you and your boys are healthy that is all that matters!!!
