In case you haven't heard from facebook: We are having a BOY! I tell you I was a little shocked when we had the ultrasound; I thought it was a girl. But besides that, I thought that Russell would be my only boy because that is how it goes in our family. However, I am thrilled we are having a boy (that is secretly what I wanted anyway). Russell needs a little brother to slap around because Lydia just doesn't appreciate him in that regard. Lydia was, of course, devastated that she didn't get her baby sister.
Now I am 25 weeks pregnant (no pictures, please!). I feel ENORMOUS! Everyone says I look good or that my bump is cute, but I tell you, it would be a lot cuter if it was the 30 week bump it looks like it is!! I am honestly scared for those last few months of this thing. Right now, I am still going to the gym five days a week for the various classes I go to. It is getting a little harder to maneuver, but I'm still in it. People have been asking me when I am due and are always surprised at how much I still have left. With that said, I'm hoping my stomach doesn't give way to endless stretch marks and forever-fatigued skin that hangs for the rest of my life. I am seriously considering going on a diet or something. Not a real diet, just more of a dessert-free kind of diet like we should all consume. But this baby craves sugar. And not just a little. Sigh.
To scare myself just a little more, I just looked at pictures of myself at the end of my previous two pregnancies. Yep, definitely scary. YIKES! Please wish me luck!
