Uploading Baby...98 Percent Complete

The clock is ticking. Is that really my belly?
I feel more like 100% complete, but my body won't get on with the labor process yet. Will was born two weeks early so I set my expectations of an early delivery way too high. I'm going to get really disappointed if I don't aim for the real due date.
This pregnancy has gone really smoothly, but has been a lot different than the last one. The last one I sat in front of a computer in an air conditioned room every day. This time I'm all over the house, the playground, stores, doing all kinds of activities with Will that involve lifting and carrying him. The last pregnancy ended in the hottest time of the year. Sure I was hot, but so was everyone else. This pregnancy ends in the middle of December, and I'm waking up in the middle of the night sweating even though I don't use any covers. I'm the type of person who could sleep with a blanket in the middle of summer. It's so bizarre to be so warm in the middle of winter for me. To warm up Britton's ice feet instead of the other way around.
I'm excited to meet my new little person. And to get my body somewhat back to normal. Don't worry. We'll let everyone know when we're headed to the hospital, and post pictures right after he's born.

New Baby Update

This little guy is already getting way less attention than his big brother. Poor kid. I'm sure he'll get over it someday in therapy. Despite the lack of blog devoted to him I am VERY excited for this new little baby to come! And not just because I'm getting large and uncomfortable.
Another pregnancy has gone perfectly smoothly. Am I really that lucky? I keep expecting my luck to run out at any moment and find out that something has gone tragically wrong. But besides my iron being low, everything is as it should be.
I wish I had more information to give you about the baby. All I know is it's a boy, he has all his body parts and a wonderful heartbeat, likes to kick and squirm, and he's probably the size of a small cabbage (17 in. 2.9 lbs). The due date is still December 16th, but at my last doctor's appointment she kept talking to me like it was still November 28th. We'll see...
I think now is the time to place bets. When will he come, how big, etc. Will was two weeks early and weighed 7 lbs 4-ish oz, and labor took about four hours. Please leave a comment with your guess, and the winner will receive the baby's umbilical cord nub! Just kidding...I'll think of something much more appetizing.
Also as far as names go, we're thinking about Caleb (a little too popular right now), Elliot, Trent, and Max.

We're Ready

The past couple months I've been watching another baby part-time. It's been great to have another little person around, and Will has loved it more that I anticipated! He gets so excited every time he sees the baby and even though it seems like they wouldn't have much to do together, Will has found plenty of activities to do with the baby.
Here Will wishes that the co-sleeper was a bunk bed. This game doesn't go on very long, or the baby would never sleep.
Here's Will and his buddy doing some ninja tummy time together.
Will, who hardly used a pacifier as a baby, dug up a pacifier and spends some quality paci time with the baby.
Hopefully his love for babies will continue because Will is going to have his own little baby to play with ALL the time! Come November-ish, another little guy/girl will join the Olson clan. It's still quite a ways away so hopefully Britton and I will be ready for number two by then too.
