"How big was your last baby," she asked?
I told her. (7lbs 8oz.)
"This one will be bigger," she said confidently.
She also mentioned that I'm measuring 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule.
I was expecting this news. Especially since I realized last week that I can only squeeze into one pair of pants (including maternity pants) that are acceptable to wear in public (bring on the sweats!). Brad is worried I'm going to have a 10 pound baby. My suspicion is that my due date is a little off and he might just come early.
Hopefully I'm the one that's right.
Meanwhile, I've been starting to get things ready for baby boy (finally). I found a few items amidst my precious horde of pink, ruffled, girly baby clothes that can work for a boy and sold some of the older, less precious items to a local consignment store for a whopping $15.75.
I also made two little baby boy blankets. One turned out great. The other...didn't. Let's just say that satin binding and I don't get along very well. Oh well, I never claimed to be a seamstress and at least it's something boy-ish to wrap him in.
Finally, and perhaps most exciting, we ordered new car seats for the girls. We'd love to get a new car, but with finances being tight and an impending cross-country move, we decided to make do with our 5-passenger Subaru for now. Last week I tried to cram the baby car seat in the back along with both girl's older seats. I'm sure I made a comical sight, super pregnant and working up a sweat as I wrestled car seats in the back of the car. I managed to get them in and slam the door closed, but also realized that it just wasn't going to work. Not safely, anyway. So we found some new, slimmer seats that will fit 3 across with room to spare. They were even on sale. They came yesterday and they are awesome.
Now we just need to decide on a name... Is it just me, or are boys harder to name than girls?

Ummm...YES! Boy names were WAY harder for us than girls. You are such a totally cute pregnant lady! You're adorable, Traci! With my boy, I measured 5 weeks ahead for the whole pregnancy. He came a week early and was huge. Good luck, hopefully you'll just be early! You'll be a super great mom of two girls and a BOY! :)
Traci, you look great!! We can't wait to see that little boy. Good luck with everything!!!
You look so beautiful! I love your belly. I also think Boy names are super hard--good luck! I'm sure you'll find a good one. Lainy looks so grown up in her car seat--holy cow---she is getting old!! Benson asked me if he could send her a valentines card. Hopefully we get around to it this week! Good luck on the last couple weeks--I hope he comes early for you.
