8 Months

2 months to go and pregnancy is really starting to kick my butt. I feel very lucky to not have to get up and go to work every day. I am exhausted after simply making the bed. Sleeping has become very difficult between trying to get in a comfortable position, waking up in need for Tums or the bathroom and the frequent side, leg and foot cramps. Although I am constantly very uncomfortable I am trying to savor these last two months of enjoying alone time with Brandon and being so strongly connected to Zander at all times. It's a little bitter sweet, as much as I want him here I will never be able to protect and care for him the way I am now. I also know that life as Brandon and I know it will change drastically once our little man is here, and that is scary and exciting at the same time.

This week Zander begins to gain an average of 1/2 a pound a week. He's hopefully head down or will be making his trek to that position soon. Space is getting increasingly cramped as he continues to grow and gain weight. Other than gaining weight and growing a few inches, he's just about ready for his debut.

This picture is not of our handsome boy, however it does
show how increasingly cramped his current home is getting.
