update: 27 weeks along with baby boy

I have 12 weeks left of being pregnant. I believe that puts me officially into the third trimester. I am feeling anxious to have the baby! Not only because I don't particularly enjoy being pregnant, which I don't, but mostly because I just want him to be here with us. I want our family to be complete. Even tho we know he is real and I can feel him moving inside of me all the time, it's like he's only pretend. He isn't really here. Not yet.

I can't wait for Zoey to finally know her little brother and to start to get used to the life of sisterhood as opposed to only-childhood. I feel like the longer she is here, alone, with only mommy and daddy, the more she thinks that is how things are supposed to be. She is getting awfully familiar with hogging all of our attention.  The longer this baby stays inside my body, the harder it is going to be for her to get used to having another baby in our house. I'm being a little bit dramatic I'm sure. How much of a difference is 3 months going to make anyway? I don't know. I can't do anything about it anyway. But I just want him here with us now.

My sister, Taylor, just had a baby shower this past weekend.  And my mom was smart enough and adamant enough to get a picture of she, my cousin Leisa, and I all together with our baby bellies. We are all having boys. If you include my other cousin, Nicole, who has a one month old baby, and my sister-in-law, Staci, who is 6 weeks behind me, you will count 5 baby boys all born within 6 months of each other. Our little guy is going to have some fun buddies to hang out with when the time comes. Anyway, here are the pictures that my mom took of us. Just for the sake of knowing what I look like this go-round, since I've taken about 0 pictures this whole pregnancy. I am 27 weeks along, Leisa is 41, Taylor is 34, and Taylor's aunt is 24 weeks along with twins. I hope no one minds me putting pictures of them here.
