is what we're naming him! Hahahaha, just kidding. I seriously have been so obsessed with Lord of the Rings lately.... Why am I such a nerd? Faramir is one of my favorite characters, though. The trailer for The Hobbit looks really good and I'm really excited! :D And I can't wait to see the Hunger Games, either...
Okay, nerd time over!
I am THIRTY THREE weeks pregnant today. 33! What the heck? This pregnancy has started to FLY by in the past few weeks, it's insane. It's so crazy to think that in 4 weeks he could definitely be here... We're really not sure on names, we still have the same 5/6 names on a list but still none jump out and I can't find any more that Levi and I both like. Hopefully when he's born he'll just really look like a Reilly or a Milo or an Ethan or something.
My feet are starting to get a bit swollen, but it's just slightly enough so that some of my shoes are a bit snug, it's not super visible or anything. I've gained like, 23 pounds already, and still a few weeks to go... He's gonna be a big baby. I'm HUGE, it's absolutely crazy.
Not much else is going on in life! Levi will be graduating from college on May 11th, and I'm so proud! It's been a long few years for him to juggle work and school and fatherhood, and I'm so proud of him for getting it all done! And he can finally get a good job, which he's really excited about. I'm sure this baby will be born by then, but it is one day after my due date, so it's not 100% guarenteed, but hopefully there won't be any conflicts with the baby, haha. I'm sure he'll be born early like Bentley and Rafe though, so I'm not worried about it.

Getting closer!
Today I am officially 32 weeks pregnant! I can't believe how fast it's gone! Everything is going well, the baby is healthy and growing right on schedule. He's super super active, always moving and kicking. I swear he never sleeps. I'm short of breath a lot and it's harder to do things around the house. I'm always running into stuff with my belly, and it's hard to pick stuff up. I haven't reached that point where I'm uncomfortable 100% of the time, but I still have issues with sleeping. I never can find a comfortable position! We're still nowhere on names... Reilly, Paxton, Milo, Elijah and Ethan are still our list, but none really seems right. We might add Max back to it... I like that one.
Rafe is now 15 months! It's crazy how fast my boys are growing up... He probably says about 5-6 words all the time, but has said a few more. He hasn't yet discovered how fun it is to say no all the time, thank God, but I know it'll come sooner rather than later. He follows everyone around all the time, always tries to mimic everything. He's really fascinated with textures and holding/touching things. He just wants to hold everything! Grass, animals, anything. You name it, he wants to hold it. He's very curious and adventurous, even in public. And he's not at all afraid of strangers, which is the total opposite of Bentley. Bentley always was timid in public and in front of strangers, and still sometimes is.
Bentley! 2 and a half, 32 months to be exact. I seriously can't believe that my baby boy is going to be 3 this summer... In less than 4 months. :'( Time is a thief i would rob! (song lyrics there. ;) ) He's always wanting to do things for himself, always wanting to get dressed himself or brush his teeth. We're working on our ABCs and numbers. He's a lot better with the ABCs. We're also about to start potty training. I just don't know how to go about it yet. :l He's into playing pretend a lot now. It's so cute the things they come up with! He'll sit there and play with his trucks or something and give them little voices (even if I don't know what the heck he's saying). It's seriously the cutest thing! He loves to be outside, too, and he's ALWAYS asking to play in the backyard or come with when I feed the horse/take care of the barn.
The baby's room is all set up and ready for him to arrive, and I can't wait to meet him! It's such an awesome feeling to finally be 100% excited about having a baby. Levi is super excited, too. He made this joke that at this rate we're birthing our own football team, hahaha. We've had the conversation about more kids just so we're on the same page about everything, and we're probably going to have one more and that's it. Levi would like to have more until we get a girl, but that's not realistic. I'm not having a billion kids. So we agreed that when this baby is around 2, we'll start thinking about trying again.
