It may not be done, but wow, what progress was made in Baby Sister's room today! Just waiting on a bookshelf and some drawer pulls, and then we can finalize furniture arrangement, hang stuff on the walls, and put stuff in the dresser. Very exciting times for this expectant mama. My husband kicked some serious butt today!

Well this is "fun"! Hooked up to a heart monitor for the next 48 hours. Baby is fine, just checking on me - AKA the incubator. Feels like an over reaction, but here we are! #25weekspregnant

Lewis gets his big boy bed today. I showed him the bed frame, and he decided to practice laying in his new bed. I hope he likes the real thing as much as he likes the concept!

On the left, my 19 week Lewis belly. On the right, baby number 2 at 19 weeks! I knew I was feeling gigantic....

Me: "why are you throwing tantrums all the time today Lewis?" Lewis: "waaaaaaah!" *kick hit punch* Me: "this is familiar. Try this teething toy" Lewis: *stops crying* "gawd. Finally mom." Me: *headdesk*

Hit 11 weeks today! Bouts of nausea are starting to decrease in frequency. Kiddo insisted on photobombing this shot. Hehe

First public bump pic. The belly showed up right away this time around. Been in maternity clothes since week 4 or 5. Having much more nausea this time than last time, and hoping that ends soon! Cravings vary from meal to meal, and eating what I crave is a matter of survival. #10weeks #10weekspregnant #2ndpregnancy #babynumber2 #pregnant

Thanksgiving snuggles on the couch watching hallmark Christmas movies. So thankful for this little dude.

Mommy snuck back home to do the final door for the boys. 😍🎃

Last year a lion, this year a racoon. 😍😍 #happyhalloween

When the lid was not put back on the amoxicillin properly, and you go to shake it up before getting the LAST DOSE ready for your kid. Sigh. Good thing we already planned to mop today.

Happy 18 months, King Lewie! 😍😍🎂

We seem to be somewhat improved this morning. 👍
