For the few of you who actually read this... I thought I would give an update on the baking of baby #2. We have decided to name her Leighton Michelle, if you were wondering. And yes, there is method to our madness at picking out such a different name! As you can see with Kylan, we like names that stand out. Leighton is actually the last name of the grandfather that Matt grew up with. We both come from multi-generational homes, and I have to say that growing up with a grandparent living in your home is VERY cool as a kid. Papa was the one that got matt hooked on cars and cooking... they were extremely close, so when the opportunity came up to use the name, we jumped at it. Plus, it is the only girls name that we could agree on! :) Michelle is actually after my mom, who passed away when I was little, so of course that one was a no-brainer.
I am feeling pretty good, VERY tired, but good. You forget how much energy it takes just to be pregnant, not even doing anything like working, school, chasing a toddler..... Plus, this kid is doing ballet already, which is nothing short of uncomfortable and downright terrifying! I am so worried I am going to be in a lot of pain from her pirouettes in another month! My youngest brother actually broke my step-mom's rib, so that doesn't comfort me much!
I am getting bigger by the day and I think I look like I swallowed a pumpkin. Matt is really great about my deteriorating self-image and has made it a point to get me new shirts several times over the last few weeks. It is amazing what a new shirt can do!!
We are still crazy busy as we try to finish up all of our loose ends before we take off for christmas, I am hoping I don't have to work while we attempt to take a vacation. Unfortunately I don't think I'm that lucky. :)

I definitely agree with you about how tiring pregnancy is. You'd think that we would know what to expect 2nd time around, but everything changes when you throw a 2 year old (or 1 1/2 yr old) in the mix. Good thing they're so cute when they come out!
P.S.
You should post some belly pics on your blog! I wanna see! (Mine are on facebook)
"for the few of you who will actually read this".... that's funny.
I feel the same way! Haha. But I think more often people read & just don't comment. Who knows.
Well life will get busier soon for you for sure. But just remember that since you're going to have two kids close in age that they'll probably grow up to play together all the time! Yeah! Lifetime buddies a.k.a siblings!....except maybe when they're teenagers of course. Oh dear.
