20 Months and 27 Weeks

Howdy folks! We are in the midst of a move so I can't even believe I'm blogging right now, but anything to avoid packing, right?! With the little man (yes, it's a boy!) arriving in just 3 short months or less plus Molly growing like a weed, it is time to upgrade our space. We are moving to a 3 bedroom townhouse in Ashburn. After living in a 1000 sq ft condo, it's going to feel like a mansion!

We are very excited to move to Ashburn, where a lot of my friends live. Molly will be very close to her little friend Kathryn so we plan on having a lot of play dates. We also have a park and a pool within walking distance!! YAY! Molly certainly looooves both! The only negative is that Ben will have to deal with a longer commute. He has been spoiled living less than 2 miles from work!

My pregnancy is going well and we're at 27 weeks. I'm not as uncomfortable as I was with Molly... maybe because I don't have time to sit and think about it. Molly and I are always on the go! I did have a mini scare a couple weeks ago with my OB thinking that I was exhibiting signs of preterm labor. I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions that aren't very comfortable... however, after getting checked out, all was fine. I was told to take it easy (yeah right!) and drink lots of water.

This little guy is much more active than I remember Molly being. He's ALWAYS moving and kicking me very hard! Molly likes to lift up my shirt and pretend to feed him through my belly button. Every night before bed we rock in the chair and she says "baby" and puts her hand on my belly. It's so cute! She also likes to point to her belly and say "baby." We have been reading her some books about being a big sister so I think she's excited about having a baby brother. We'll see if she feels the same way come October!

Molly is 20 months now and it is SO crazy how much she is talking. She pretty much repeats the last word of everything I say (scary!). Her vocabulary is extensive and I can't even keep track of all her new words. A favorite is airplane (Ah nane!) which she shouts every time she sees one. And living so close to the airport, we see them a lot.

Well, I have to run. I'll update soon, promise!
