It's a shame indeed...

Ok: top picture is belly with Archie, bottom picture is belly with baby #2.


I am terrible at blogging. Rest assured, I do keep a journal for Archer and new babe, plus a very handsome baby book for each---but STILL, I need to stay on top of this! I think I avoid blogging mostly because every time I sit down to blog too much has changed and I must face the reality that my baby boy is actually starting to become quite the big boy!

Archer is the best. I think every night after we put him to bed Colin says, "I just love our kid so much," or "our kid is honestly the best." And he is! He is a joy, and sweet and super duper silly! Lately he has started saying "oh my goodness" and "oh my gosh" which is pretty darn funny. He is obsessed with all things boy, jumping, running, falling down, rocks, dirt, sticks, water, SHOVELS..etc. Everywhere we go he must have a "scoop" aka shovel in hand (in case there is something to scoop of course). I'm going to go ahead and say I think it is about 90% nature, 10% nurture at this point! We have the boat here now and Colin has been getting off of work early lately (with three day weekends) so we have been spending lots of time at the beach/lake boating and playing. Archer of course is in HEAVEN with scoops, sand, buckets, and an occasional boat ride!

The baby is a BUSY baby. It is strange too that I am carrying this baby MUCH differently. Now, I haven't jumped to conclusions that this means GIRL...because I know all pregnancies are different, I am simply remarking on the difference. It probably also helps that this baby is currently posterior. Archer's little butt was always pushing up on my ribs and I was terribly round with him, but this time this babe seems much lower. Perhaps in the weeks to come as it runs out of room I will bite my tongue and once again have a little butt pushing up against my ribs!!! Not a whole lot to do for a second baby when you don't know the sex and also plan on moving a month or so after the babe comes. No nursery, no shopping, etc! BUT, I think the second time around having a baby is much more exciting---you know the goodness that comes along with a baby!

Ok, that was just a quick update, I am going to work on blogging more---but I do always say that!!!
