I hit 32 weeks on Monday. But as excited as I am to not be pregnant anymore, I am a little apprehensive about having a 3rd child. I often feel overwhelmed by the 2 I already have. Plus the thought of having a newborn stresses me out a little. In some ways they are so easy and some ways they just aren't. Plus I hate the breast feeding and sleepless nights. Some moms feel a bond and enjoy breast feeding. I never have. I do it because it is good for the baby but I seriously dis-like it. I am also a little worried that Benjamin will be jealous and too rough with the little guy, or that Kimberly will mother him into an injury. I know I planned having my kids so close together and I'll be glad I did later, but part of me wishes there was just a few more years between them all. I envy that Kelly will just have little "Matthew" at home once school starts next week and I have another whole year (maybe 2) before Kimberly goes to Kindergarten. Maybe this is just the normal stress that all moms feel as D-Day for baby #3 gets closer. I heard a rumor that we might be getting released from our callings soon. I love being in the RS presidency, but that would sure take a huge load off my mind. And once the baby comes I'll probably feel a little less "crazy in the head" since it will be cooler and I will be much more mobile. Some exercise would do me good right now, but my back is so bad most days I can barely move. Also, little baby Daniels still has no name. We don't really have any clue. It's just not happening for us. Nothing sounds right. Is it weird to be stressed over a name? We didn't settle on Benjamin's name until a week after he was born. I just don't want to do that again, but it looks like we are headed down that road. One positive note: I had the flu at the beginning of the week and lost about 4 pounds. Maybe I can escape the big 200lbs, for one more doctors appointment? Keep your fingers crossed for me! :0

The name thing is hard--Liv wasn't named until we were leaving the hospital and we'd probably still be going back and forth on the name if changing her name wasn't a big hassle. (Don't get me wrong I love her name but it's so permanent and what if she hates it in 15 years?)
But on the bright side you look super cute and only 8 more weeks :)
You are looking really great! And I think it is amazing and wonderful and a blessing that you will have three. If anyone can do it, I know you can. 8 more weeks. I feel like it went by fast but I am pretty sure it must have felt longer for you. I also did not like breastfeeding. But now that J is two and there is not a #2 in our immediate future, i sorts wish I would have breastfed her longer.
That's funny Benamin didn't have a name. Well not hahaha funny... but sorta. I am interested in knowing what you choose. There is always McKay! :)
You look great! You and Kelly both look really good, and hooray! Only 8 more weeks. Good luck on the name thing, we had people leave comments on our blog with name suggestions. That was fun to see some new names. Hope you are feeling alright!

so this is way random and totally off topic but the peacock twins are still love with you robin, and laney says hi. this is greg not sarah
Haha...mother him into an injury. Probably. PS why arent you following my blog? DO you not love me like I love you?
you two are so cute. i would love to have a sister so close in age to be preggo with. the funny thing is that my next sibling is a whole 10 yrs younger than i am, and since Sam and i waited so long to have kids, if she gets married in the next few years and has a kid soon after, we could actually still be preggo together (assuming i want to have more kids after this one, hahaha! j/k). good luck with everything!
