Pregnancy Update

Lol this is me!

I am really feeling this way now! The end is always the hardest for me!!

your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Kyle and I are getting really excited for Parker to come. We have been talking a lot about Kaden and his birth and the feelings that we had when he came and we are so excited to see what this new little one will bring. This pregnancy has been a different one compared to Kaden. Parker has been A LOT more active it seems and he is always kicking. I am so excited to be having another little boy. Kaden has been such a joy and it will be so much fun down the road when they can play together and have fun. Pregnancy never really became real for me until I started to feel him kicking, and that is very different than Kaden. I think all the moving and dealing with a job loss and chasing a little 2 year old around has really made this pregnancy different. The other things that have been really different is that I have been very very emotional and very tired this pregnancy. There have been times I have caught myself crying over a show or a commercial and can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it is to cry over something so stupid.

All in all this has been a very ideal pregnancy and for that I am so grateful. Everything has been perfect and I am now just feeling ready to see what labor and delivery bring. I am grateful to my Father in Heaven for the opportunity I have to be able to have children. I am so grateful that I am a mother in the last days. I know that these little spirits that come into my home are precious to our Father in Heaven. I am grateful that he is entrusting me with them. We will keep you updated with more information soon!
