If he doesn't have enough hair on top of his head, how about a goatee? :)
I love the look he's giving the camera. I get this look frequently throughout the day. He's quite a tease. And really hit the jackpot on desserts today... nothin' wrong with a chocolate cupcake before bed, right?
So it may not be too much longer before this little munchin has a little brother!
I'm due Feb. 5, but have been mentally preparing myself for another baby who wants to cook well past his expected arrival. I knew I didn't want to start the {nesting} phase until after Christmas, but have still found myself dragging my feet with getting things in order. I guess I figured once the nesting was over, the impatience would begin! WELL, I went in for a doctor's appt. today and while he was checking me, he raised his eyebrows and said that the baby was low... VERY low- his head was in position and I was dialated to a 2 or 3! Then he told me I better not leave town. Now I know that some girls will sit at a 3 for a month, and that could very well happen to me, but I just can't believe it! I didn't dialate 1 stinkin' cm with Collin until I was in labor. And now when I'm really not ready for a baby, mentally or otherwise... it seems he could be making an early appearance. What gives? And now that I'm stressing about it, I'll bet he doesn't come til after his due date. He's just messing with me and he hasn't even been born! I think I might even NEED him to be late because I'm quite nervous about 2 kids. The more I pull out widdle baby clothes, the more my stomach turns in knots. Am I ready to start a no-sleep lifestyle again? How will Collin react to the new addition? Will this kid be a good nurser? Will he be healthy? Will I end up with a C-section? Will I go fast and not have time for an epideral? (I kinda secretly hope so). I'm starting to have abnormal fears about Collin not feeling loved enough once the baby comes. That I'll be cranky and tired and not a good mom. And just as I'm about to lose it all to panic, I berate myself for being so paranoid about two children when girls my age have 3, 4, or 5! I think I'll just start my deep breathing exercises now. :)

Oh I so remember those thoughts before I had Elsie!! I thought I would be doomed to be in fat pants with my hair pulled up for the rest of my life after I had two kids!! But you will be surprised at how quickly you get into a routine and get used to things. And two isn't bad, really, I promise. In fact, once I got past those first couple weeks, I found myself loving having the two of them...and it just keeps getting better and better the more they interact and play with each other. You will be just fine! I think it's so funny that this next one is showing signs of an early appearance though! Go figure huh. Can't wait to meet the little one!
still can't believe you are having a baby soon. It went by fast. I think it will surprise you how much you will like having 2. I thought it was easier than having 1... seriously. So no worries. You are a seasoned mother, there is nothing you haven't already experienced with Collin, right? Keep us posted!
You are hilarious... I can just picture myself worrying as much as you are when I'm about to have my first! I SO wish I could be there to help out with Collin and everything. I'm sure you will have it all under control, if not, drive to taco bell and order a bean burro with no onions, fake nacho cheese and a dr. pepper. Thats what I do when I'm about to lose it. Good luck!
I don't have any comforting advice about having baby #2. In fact, reading your post made me nervous & I'm not even pregnant. :) I do know that you are a great mother & you have many that love you & are here to help. :) I am so stinkin excited to hold this little guy! I can't believe he's almost here.
Just keep breathing and take one day at a time and all will be well. Sometimes it is better not to think. I remember that I was all prepared to go a week over with my second and he surprised me and came a week early...totally unprepared for it. But it seemed to work out great and for the most part those little guys were and are really good friends and entertained each other and me.
Oh, also I wanted to tell you that you are a great mother of one and will be a great mother of two. Can't wait!
You will be be so good with 2! I am so happy you are at a 2-3 that is so awesome! It will be interesting to see what happens. Just hang in there for a couple more weeks :)
You are going to do great just hang in there. You are a great mom and you will be able to handle everything. I wish I could be there to help you, but just know we are thinking about you. Good luck.
I am thrilled to bits for you. Earlier baby means fewer stretch marks, the sooner baby comes, the sooner he is sleeping through the night, and you get to be calmed by his sweet calm, babyness. I am the same as you. I picture things worst case scenario sometimes. You will be pleasantly surprised! You can do it! {with a slightly hispanic accent- from some adam sandler movie}
