Oh Boy, Oh Boy!

You read that right...  I'm going to be a big sister!  Mommy found out at the very beginning of December that she was going to have another baby.  It really took both Mommy and Daddy quite a while to let the news sink in.  Mommy, of course, wanted to let Daddy know in a cute way this time around, but was so shocked she just laughed and handed him this stick.  Pretty gross if you ask me!  

Anway, Mommy's due date is August 6th.  That puts us at just a little over 7 weeks until we get to meet my stinky little BROTHER!  We are finally starting to get his room figured out.  The house we are currently in is only 3 bedrooms.  After a lot of rearranging, storing things, and a big garage sale, we are turning the office into a nursery.  Daddy has done such a great job moving everything out with no complaining!  Mommy's belly is getting pretty big now, and she just can't seem to move around as easy anymore.  In this whole process of my brother getting a nursery, I get a big girl room!  He'll get my current crib and furniture, and my new furniture has already been purchased!  Mommy has spent the last 2 weeks looking and deciding on bedding for both rooms, and decorations and ideas for the boy's room.  My room will stay decorated the same, with my bedding and curtains getting an upgrade.  I'm pretty excited about the idea of sleeping in a twin bed, even though Mommy and Daddy have their doubts!  We'll keep you posted on all the changes... hopefully.

In case you were wondering how Mommy is feeling, the answer would be different depending on the time of day you ask her.  Mornings and afternoons aren't too bad, but the evenings and night time are getting a little rough.  She has lots of heartburn, back pain, pelvic pressure, and overall soreness at the end of the day.  Nights are pretty restless, so it's a good thing I sleep in until 9:30 or 10:00 most days to help her get some sleep.  One thing Mommy is terrified about is delivering a giant 10 pound baby!  Now I know most of you are thinking, "That's just crazy talk," but I think her fears might come true.  If you remember correctly, I was 9 lb 1.2 oz.  Not exactly your average sized baby.  Stack that up with this being Mommy's second child and him being a boy... Aye Dios mio!  Don't get me wrong, Mommy (and Daddy) is very excited about welcoming a new baby to the family.  Even though she's already been through this once, she is still amazed by what her body is doing and thinks it's fascinating that a little person is growing inside of her.  His kicks, punches, and rolls make her smile every time they happen.  Please keep Mommy and Baby Fabey #2 in your prayers over the next 7 weeks.  Please pray that my little brother is growing strong and healthy, and for Mommy's sake, that he's not Baby Huey!
