March 22

It's official! Baby boy #2 is scheduled to arrive Tuesday March 22 at 10am! I am having a scheduled C- Section with this baby and I am MORE than ok with that! I like that I can plan around his birth and it's not going to be some sort of guessing game as to when he will arrive. It will though, seem quite odd to wake up on that day and think "alrighty, time to go have a baby..."
I haven't put an "official" announcement of facebook, and i probably won't, and I know i'm taking a risk by putting this on my blog, but if you are reading this post consider this a fun secret that i've shared with you!
I'm soooooo excited!

Valentines Day?

Today is Valentines Day. Usually I would get all excited b.c I knew there would be something fun that Peter and I would be doing together. A while ago we had decided to alternate years, so last year was my year to plan and we had a great time. This is year is Peter's year and I think we may be doing something next week sometime...and surprisingly, I am completely ok with that! Today was just not a good day to do anything...really this whole week is not good for romance! Too much to do! Today I had a doctors appointment meeting my obstetrician and talking about my c- section, and then during lunch Rocco all of a sudden threw up and I had to clean up this huge mess b.c Peter was at school. So I spent the rest of the day worrying if he was sick, getting sick, or he just gagged on something... Then it was play time, supper time, bath time, then bed time! That was my Valentines Day! I think it's actually kind of funny that this supposed "special" day was really just another day in the Anderst home!

Is it March yet?

I am more than ready for this baby to come out. Not only b.c i am so excited to meet him, but b.c i need to get my body back. When i was pregnant with Rocco, I was more than ok with getting huge and just embracing my pregnant body. But now that I HAVE Rocco around, it it very hard for me to embrace this body. The reason is b.c my pregnant body is making it very difficult to do anything, especially things that relate to my Rocco. Mostly just playing with him is difficult b.c he is so active and loves to play hockey and run around and that is just not an option for me right now. Poor guy. I feel so bad, but I know that this won't last forever and it's almost over. We still do fun things, but it mostly involves me sitting on the couch watching him play and cheering him on!
I can't wait to be able to walk, run, and just MOVE normally again! But it is still absolutely worth it.
