The Last Hurrah

This weekend marked the last time that the Phillips family will be an official threesome as my mother arrives on Friday to help out before and after Baby Phillips arrives. We decided to spend some quality time together and head down to the beach for some fun in the sun. Call it pregnancy hormones but I was a bit sad about this being the last time that we would be going out with just Ethan. Not to say that we are not super excited about meeting our new little boy, or that there won't be times where we will just take Ethan out alone, but those of you who have more than one child understand what I am getting at, it will never be the same. I always knew that Ethan would have a sibling but now that we are on the threshold of adding another, it makes me look back over the past 3 years and cherish the wonderful times.

I finally gave in and decided to take a picture of my large belly. Although my doctor says I am measuring small I still feel (and look) huge! I am now full term though do not feel that I will go into labor anytime soon. At my last Dr's appt there was little to report and no signs of imminent labor.
This weekend my mother is treating me and five of friends to tea at the St. Regis to celebrate the newest addition of the Phillips family. I am looking forward to a nice relaxing day with the girls. Then my mother and I will be occupying Ethan throughout the week and stay on our toes in case Baby Phillips decides it is time to meet his family!

As a mother of ONE this post made me teary-eyed. Of course Baby Phillips #2 is such an insanely welcome addition, but OF COURSE you're feeling these things! I'm sending you an email too. I love you, L!

Looks like a fun day at the beach! Things will be different but it is a good different. You look great and NOT even close to huge!!!! I can't wait to celebrate with you and meet baby Phillips! Ethan is so sweet with Carson, I know he is going to be a great big brother :)

I wouldn't mind being that "huge" in my last few weeks of pregnancy! I am thinking of you and hoping for a wonderful delivery. I often find myself looking at Delaney and ALREADY feeling sad about her having to share us...and I am not even pregnant yet! Can't wait to hear the good news...
