Bump update

Tomorrow I'll officially be 29 weeks pregnant. I've been horrible about posting photos! Nope, haven't forgotten to take them, I just don't like ANY of them! I swear, I'm carrying this baby so differently than Carter that if we hadn't confirmed that it was a boy just two weeks ago, I would be dead set that this little guy is a girl. Being pregnant through spring/summer doesn't help matters. It is so much easier to look cute with a bump when you can layer your clothes and emphasize the bump and nothing else. All of that said... My appointment yesterday went well. I'm measuring a bit small - 27 inches - but Peggy says it fluctuates and anything within 2 inches of the number of weeks is good. I'm about 10 pounds shy of where I ended up with Carter so, with about 10 weeks to go, hopefully I won't surpass that number! Health-wise, it will be fine if I do, it will just sting a bit mentally. I WILL post a bump photo soon. In fact, we are doing family/maternity photos this time around in the middle of July. We'll then follow up with family/newborn shots after littlest man gets here. C-section is currently scheduled for August 31st. I can't believe we only have 10 weeks!

Reminder

A little reminder of how little my little man, Coen, is. I've had people ask who is older when we are shopping with Coen in the front of the cart and Carter in the basket of the cart. Get them standing next to each other and it's pretty obvious that they are a year apart.

Promises, promises

Oh, these boys! They are making all sorts of promises to help when the baby gets here. Not just their brother, but Auntie's baby too. Carter was so disappointed when I told him that we didn't need 2 cribs here because Auntie would be keeping her baby at HER house. At least he'll get to help. Coen was all about helping Auntie too, but just listen to him when I ask if he'll be helping with his new brother!

We have water-skiers!

For Papa's birthday we got the boys him this neat waterski for little kids. It is part wood, part inflatable and even has a spot for their feet to slip in like the read deal. The boys can stand or sit on it. We figured they wouldn't go near it this summer but Carter blew us away insisting that he wanted to go skiing (a far cry from what I was like around water when I was his age). Once Carter did it, Coen was begging for a turn. I think they may have some Roberts in them yet!

Third trimester

I officially made it to the third trimester this past weekend and at the exact same moment, lost every single ounce of energy. I was in such a high from my second trimester energy level that I forgot that this happens. Ugh.

Carter says

After bath time, I hear Chris call to Carter:

Carter, you putting your underwear on?

Carter yells back, "thinkin' 'bout it"

Carter update

The last couple of days have been rough! My poor little guy has really had a hard time between his throat hurting, ear pain and just being exhausted. He's not eating much, but thankfully has been open to drinking Pediasure and eating some ice cream now and again. He's also doing ok on liquids which are the most important. He's off and on and I'd say about 30% of the time, he is "on" and resembling his normal self. The rest of the time and he is crying or on the verge of tears or resting.

When he is "on" he is pretty darn cute! He almost talks with a lisp because his throat is so sore.
