We are rolling right along these days trying to make it through the end of the summer during what feels like the hottest weather EVER. I know it’s not, believe me, but it just feels so much hotter this summer pregnancy compared to Trents.
We’ve had so much fun celebrating Daddy’s and Trent’s birthdays these past couple of weeks! Birthdays are extra special in the Greene household and are meant to be celebrated no matter what age.
I’ll be almost 36 weeks pregnant come October 17th when we celebrate my 30th birthday. So, the celebration options, while limited, should be interesting. I’m sure I’ll be waddling by then. Normally, we go to the Great Smokey Mountains during my birthday week. It’s a great tradition to watch the beautiful leaves change color and really puts you in the mood for the upcoming holiday season. We might still go; it just depends on how I feel and how things are going.
We now have a BIG 2 YEAR OLD BOY on our hands and we couldn’t be prouder of our future best big brother! He exceeds anything and everything we could have ever imagined in having a son. To say he has the whole package would be an understatement. He’s handsome, smart, funny, gentle, and such a boy! He takes after his Daddy in so many ways and for that, I am truly grateful. I cannot wait to see him blow us away even more…especially when he becomes Big Brother.

Miss Anything? There are numerous little non-important things I miss not being able to have or do while being pregnant, but none of them means more than the blessing of being able to carry another child.
Movement: This baby boy never stops moving. Seems like he moves more than Trent did.
Food cravings: Nothing specific…just hungry all the time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Hot and ready for fall weather. Most people said Sumter, S.C. was just as hot as down here…NOT! It’s way hotter to me. Maybe that’s because I don’t have a wonderful pool to relax in this go-around.
Belly Button in or out? Very very out
Wedding rings on or off? I’ve been keeping them off mostly lately because of the heat…I’d hate for them to get stuck if my fingers start to swell.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and anxious and tons of emotions all at once lately.
Looking forward to: Now that my two boys birthdays are out of the way, we can now focus on full time baby prep. Not that there’s a ton to do. It’s much easier this go around seeing as we’re having another boy and they aren’t that far apart. But, in the next month or so we’ll be getting the nursery completed and will really be able to start to get ready for our special Thanksgiving blessing!
