Thank you all for the birthday wishes, and the owl-softie love. I’m hoping to make more but we will see - time seems to be running out for me as my due date is in eight weeks and then my free time will be reduced dramatically for awhile. I think that’s the biggest thing that freaks me out about having another baby. We’ve got such a good schedule going where I get to enjoy Conner all day, but he plays good on his own and that leaves me lots of time to get stuff done around the house, and also things personally that I want to do. It will be a huge adjustment, but it’s only a short season since they grow up so fast, right? That’s what I will have to tell myself as I’m nursing an infant while simultaneously reading a book to a toddler when what I really want to be doing is cleaning or making something.
We had a fantastic weekend that flew by, however the week is not turning out the same unfortunately. Conner’s getting more teeth and because of that he has been insufferable. He is such a joy to be around most days, so to see him miserable breaks my heart, especially when he climbs into my crowded lap, points to his mouth and says, “Mama, hurrrrrrt”. Our silver lining has been that the weather has been gorgeous so when he really gets to grouching at me, we put his shoes on and head outside where he can play with sticks and follow caterpillars and I can enjoy my happy boy again. This picture was a rare moment amongst all the fits of annoyance and gnashing of teeth.
I feel like I should have something exciting to share, but things around here have been chugging along smoothly, so nothing to share except a quick update and a 32-week belly shot. So much I want to blog about but that will wait a few more days as I finish up some projects and try to keep the little man happy.

You look so great, Candace! And that picture of Conner is precious. Yeah, the first few months with a newborn is a huge adjustment for you and for your other kiddos. I have struggled with my free time that I lost this time around as well, but it is getting a little better.
Can’t believe you only have 8 more weeks.

Candace, you look wonderful! You’re one of those “cute” pregnant women.
And Conner looks so grown up! I hope his teeth stop bugging him soon.

YOU LOOK GREAT!!! I can’t believe you only have 8 more weeks, time has flown by, and you seem to have only gained a belly and nothing else. Hope that Conner’s teething passes quickly so you can enjoy your last few weeks!
