The Maternity Series: 26 Weeks

I’m running just a little behind in posting these weekly photos, much the same way I’ve been running, well, in just about everything else right now. And though I’m recalling those feelings from this post about dropping balls, because one person can only keep so many spinning at once, I know one thing is certain… this making a baby thing? That ball’s still-a-spinning. So while there may be a pile to sort through on my desk and a room, or two, in need of a scrub down, there’s no shortage of love for this little growing bunny and his big brother and sister.

We’ve got around three months left before we welcome another sweet baby boy into our arms, our home, our lives, and in knowing that this will be our last pregnancy, I’m starting to feel the urge to really embrace and enjoy these last few months that will speed by in a matter of moments.

So for now, I’m spending these current moments with a bouncing belly… because this little bunny doesn’t seem to stop moving, and I’m spreading my hugs, cuddles, kisses and time between the older siblings. Big brother knows change is coming and he’s been holding on to what we’ve got like his life depends on it, and maybe for now, his life as he knows it does indeed depend on it. While we try and talk through what’s coming and the change that is happening as we simultaneously reassure him that our love and heart for him won’t, I know that sometimes the best way to accept and adapt to change is just to live it. That will be happening soon enough, and we’ll all be living it together, even though we might not have it all together and a few balls lying around on the floor.
