photo taken July 11, 2009If this pregnancy is any indicator, I won't be paying any attention to this new child.
People ask me, "how are you feeling?"
me: why are they asking me how I'm feeling?, oh oh yeah, I'm huge and pregnant
To answer that for all you blog-readers (ah hem, my devoted mother-in-law), I feel great, and haven't thought twice about being pregnant so far, except for my lovely swollen feet. I haven't been riding my bike as much as I'd like or hiking because mostly I just can't carry Owen in a pack so we have to do the stroller walk thing, which is fine, it's just not hiking in the woods like last pregnancy. Strangely enough I am not putting on the kind of pounds that I was the first go round, and I'm on day 5 of a Dairy-Queen-a-day-for-a-week-kick. Yes, I know what's in the DQ and I still love it. Fact is, I'm just smaller this time. Let's not speak too soon, though, after all, I've got 13 weeks to go.
13 weeks until the newborn. REALLY? FINAL TRIMESTER HERE I COME!! I am ready to get my body back FOR GOOD.
Oh, oh, there will be no THIRD baby, I can assure you, permanent measures will take place, promptly.
I haven't had any ultrasounds since the first one at 11 weeks to determine the maturity of the pregnancy. I just didn't want to do them this time since they are not really necessary. This baby moves a lot and at this point there is not any earth shattering news I'm going to find out in an ultrasound that I can't wait for. Needless to say, we are not finding out the sex. I still believe that there are very few REAL surprises in life and this is one of those moments I look forward to, "It's a BOY." Plus I hate planning and decisions so I'll procrastinate on the naming and purchasing baby stuff until I HAVE to do it.
Come back soon, I'm posting some new photos of Owen at 17 months and discussing his AMAZING trip to the east coast in July. We almost made it back without incident. ALMOST... stay tuned.

You look darling in this photo! Aunt Phyllis and I are planning and worrying about lack of planning for Baby Clark II - but I know everything will be perfect for the four of ya'll. Look forward to the pictures!
you look beautiful!
Thank you so much for your post. I am also 7 months pregnant and I am feeling great. All I am hearing from other pregnant women is how miserable they are. So it got me thinking, is how I am feeling normal? Maybe something is wrong? So it's nice to know that someone else had a normal pregnancy and just enjoyed it.
It also might have something to do with the fact that I have a 3yo to look after, so i don't really get much time to ponder on how I feel.
Once again, thank you very much for your post!
Julia
