Back pain, swollen feet, and contractions...OH MY!
4 weeks from today we will become a family of 4!! I've gotta admit that this pregnancy has definitely worn me out...I've been more tired, more uncomfortable, and generally more bitchy than I was the first time around. My back has been killing me for the last couple of days, my feet are swollen, and I've actually felt a couple of contractions (with Rya, I felt absolutely nothing until I was in full labor). On the bright side, this baby is healthy and apparently very happy since he seems to still enjoy stretching out and making himself at home whenever possible. I've seriously gotta catch his movements on video because it's something straight out of a Sci-Fi flick -even the doc is in awe of the way my belly gets distorted as little guy does his thang.
I had my last 2 week appointment today - the weeklies start next week - and all is as it should be. Blood pressure is good, weight is good, baby is good...again, text book. The doc did mention that there's every possibility that this kid reaches 9 pounds before delivery (Rya was 8lbs 10.6 oz.)...thank goodness for c-sections!! So say a prayer that I can keep my patience intact for at least the next 4 weeks...after that, it's all about dealing with a newborn AND a 2 year old...Heaven help me!!
As for another important issue that everyone has been asking about.......we've decided on a name.......or at least are as close to deciding as we probably ever will be. So - unless we come up with a miracle name in the next 4 weeks, this little boy will be known as......
Keaton Angelo McCormack
In case you're curious, the Angelo is after my grandfather who has been a huge influence in both my life, as well as Roy's. Keaton - well - its one of the few names both Roy and I can remotely agree upon...and that's still not 100%. One thing I've learned this time around - boys are just not as EASY...names, bedding, clothing...you name it and it's just NOT as simple. I have a feeling this will hold true even after Keaton is here :)
Anyways...that's it for now. This chick is tired and needs to go get her 2 year old ready for bed. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone!!!

57 days to go...
It's been forever since an update, but everything has been pretty quiet. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow and everything is perfect. The doctor and nurse practitioners say that I am having a "text book" pregnancy...all levels, tests, weight, size, etc are exactly where they should be. Little Man is SUPER active and - according to the doc - likes to stretch his legs and arms STRAIGHT out, which feels VERY strange...let me tell you. This time around, I'm a little more uncomfortable as he's sitting really low. For those of you out there that have had children, it's reached the point where it feels like I'm sitting on the poor kids head anytime I sit down...not an enjoyable feeling. There are also moments where I can actually feel him pressing against my belly - and you can discern a body part. I definitely don't remember that with Rya - she was further back. I've got 2 more appointments before I start going every week.
Time sure has flown by. I'm on schedule for my c-section on May 19th...and man, am I ready to have my body back!! This pregnancy has gone by pretty fast - and pretty quietly - but these last couple of months are dragging. Can't wait to meet my little boy!! By the way...NO NAMES YET...but we're working on it :)
As for everything else...we moved from Mesa to Gilbert. I haven't taken any pictures yet (they're coming soon, promise) because I've been trying to get unpacked. It's happening slower than I had hoped, but don't fret, we're almost done.
Rya is doing FABULOUSLY! She's getting into potty training...will go on the potty when she first wakes up and before baths/bed. As for during the day, well, it's hit and miss. Daycare is working with her so we're hoping that the combination of home and "school" will help her understand. According to the director, we shouldn't get discouraged since she's still in what they call the "young 2's" since she just turned 2 and most kids aren't ready to potty train until 2.5 or 3 on average. Plus, there will probably be regression once the baby is here so we're just taking things slowly and letting her go at her own pace. No sense in pushing. Other than that, she loves to sing songs (alphabet, itsy bitsy spider, monkeys on a bed, twinkle twinkle, etc.) A couple weeks ago, she walked up to me and said - "the wolf mommy, he puffs and puffs and blows the house down". LOL! It was the funniest thing I had ever heard!! Some times I'm amazed at how fast she's growing up!!
I guess that's about it for now. There's a ton of other stuff to blog about, but I at least covered the major points. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Just in case you are curious...
So - it's obvious that I have this ginormous belly. DUH! What people forget is that I was JUST AS BIG if not BIGGER with Rya. I've posted my 26wk 5 day Rya Belly photo here for comparison...
Rya is in the white - Baby Boy is in the red. BTW...still no name. We're working on it :)
