Better Late than Never

It feels likes it's been forever since my last post, but such is the life of this baby growing, first grade teaching, toddler loving mom.  I feel like my new little guy is already getting the short end of the stick!  This little momma can't outrun the stereotype that happens with second children.... they don't get all the hoopla of the first!  Oh well, I'm doing the best I can! 

The first go 'round I had a picture of my growing belly every 2 weeks!  Here I am almost 22 weeks... and I have 2 pictures!  Whoops! Here is my belly at 20 weeks:

 Last weekend I had the privilege of spending some quality time with my best friends (this doesn't happen often seeing as we all live hours apart).  They are so sweet to throw Baby Hourigan and I a little "sprinkle."    
 
Speaking of baby Hourigan (still no name)- he has really started moving and grooving in there!  I would still describe it as one of the best feelings in the world!  It really makes the pregnancy feel "real" because I haven't had as much time to focus on it.  

Brooks continues to stay on the move, but sweet as ever!  He has started giving my belly (the baby) kisses.  His teachers have also been impressed with the animal sounds he knows (go daddy)!
           

And who couldn't fall in love with this smile?  
 
Brooks has been extra impressive to me this week too!  He made it all the way through church on Sunday without one of us having to take him out (thank you Jesus), he has not been throwing as many fits out of frustration (knock on wood), and his speaking becomes more clear each day with new words!  He continues to be the biggest blessing in our lives.

Now, let's see how long this great behavior lasts as we start moving him into his new big boy bedroom!
