As far as a pregnancy update goes, things are going well. I am 35 weeks and counting! As weird as it sounds with how uncomfortable and tired and big I am, I am actually hoping to not have this baby until May (the due date is May 11). With Kason being early, I am worried this one will be early too! Isaac's midterms are the very last days of April so it would make things MUCH easier if he were done with those and could be around when the baby comes. Plus, we are still possibly moving around that time too! I have been thinking what it will be like to have two kids. How do I keep Kason from being completely bored and feeling neglected while I nurse practically ALL day?! Any suggestions?

Still trying to figure that one out myself...but you will. Gosh. I was 2 weeks early and am substracting two weeks from the due date for when I think I should be going. But I guess I understand why you want to go in May. I am just plain ready to be done!
The coast is so PRETTY! It is so overcast though, I wish the sun would shine. I'm sure you feel the same :) Sorry I don't have any advice to offer, I'm hoping you'll have plenty by the time our #2 comes around.
You guys are so photogenic! What cute pictures!
Looks like fun!! Oh I was worried about the same sort of things when McKenzie was about to be born. I started feeling bad for what Payton was about to go through, but it was actually so good for him. He loved her right away, the transition went way better than I thought it would. I am sure that it will be the same for you. You might have to get a double stroller and take lots of walks to the park so he can run and play...he seems to really like that! Good luck with everything and I hope you wait for May too so your hubby can be there :)!!
Looks like a ton of fun! We are from the WA coast, it's a lot like that too, cold and misty! It sounds like things are going to be hectic for this babies arrival with all that's going on, good luck with everything!! Oh, and it's amazing what things you can do while you're nursing, I never thought I would move around so much but when you have other babies to take care of too, it's just what you do. I think it's a "Mom blessing" to be able to multi-task!!!
I wish we could have gone! It looks so pretty and DOES look majestic like you said. I hope you go all the way too with your pregnancy-sounds like it would make things a lot easier on you all. I was worried about the same thing with Kade. It went a lot better than I had imagined. He liked her just as much as we did (except for a few times) and wanted to be included with everything we did with her. Although, one thing that I have to constantly remind myself is that kids go through phases and eventually they usually go out of them too. Sometimes I think I am too shortsighted and act like his current annoying habit is going to last forever and then...it disappears. But you already know all of this, I am just babbling and you are a great mom. I think having 2 is so much more fun! In a way it feels like we are more of a family with both of our kids here. It's so fun seeing them grow and play together!
Adorable pictures, Rylee gets carsick too, it's the worst! I can't believe you are due so soon! I hope you make it till' May! So Rylee watched a lot of cartoons those first few months after Reese was born while I was planted on the couch nursing. Anything to keep her entertained and not climbing all over me.
Can't wait for that little baby to get here!
It looks like so much fun. That stinks that Kason gets car sick but good thing it wasn't your car. lol. Natalie is doing better about having a little baby and ask to hold her hand all the time but I don't really know how it going to go when she comes home. Natalie gets bored when I pump but I try to read books with her while I do that so it is something that I can do when I'm nursing later. I think that the more things you keep the same the better it will be on everyone. Good luck though.
Aw, poor kid! But it looks like you guys had fun on the coast. :)
Yeah I have no advice about nursing and also watching after a toddler! I have heard that the second time around that nursing isn't as bad (probably 'cause it's not new anymore) so at least you know what to expect. But, yeah, good luck; maybe get Kayson some new toys to occupy him!
btw I'm sorry I misspelled Kason's name!
Looks like you guys had a great time! What beautiful pictures. you look great for being 1 month away from having a baby!!
OH- the coast looks fun. Glad you guys could make it there. I have often wondered too about what to do with kid #1 while nursing kid #2 all day long. Or kid #3, #4, etc. I really can't believe you are so close to having this little one already. I wish you the best, and know you will have great advice for me when I need it someday.
Holy cow, I didn't realize you were 35 weeks already!! That went fast (well, probably not for you:), you look so good! Good luck with two, honestly I thought it was a really easy transition, way easier than I thought.
Lindsey, How are you? How is the baby?
I love the beach! You guys are moving again? I can't even tell you are pregnant in these pics. Well since I just had my second I have some advice for you. Whenever it's time to nurse I pull Hali in a room with me so she can't wonder through the house. I make sure there is something for her to play with different than she usually plays with. That keeps her entertained. Then switch a room or do something different for the next feeding. I lay on the bed feed the baby and read to Hali she likes that. To change it up we put in a movie or get on the computer and play movies from the blog while sitting in a comfy chair. I hope this helps.
