Though I mentioned the pending arrival of Baby #2 in my sidebar, I have yet to really write anything about this little baby growing inside me. This baby has hardly received the same amount of mental attention that Tommy did while pregnant, but I think that has to do with the fact that I spend my days guarding the toilet paper and making sure Tommy doesn’t jump off high surfaces. That being said, I am completely excited about this little boy being a part of our family.
I feel like this pregnancy has been easier than the first, but that is probably because I am not working full-time and I get to nap with Tommy. I am 35 weeks, due February 27th, and am trying really hard to not get excited. For those of you who read my blog up to the delivery of Tommy, you know I was 8 days late and whined almost daily on my blog about it. So this time around I’m trying to prepare for an “early March” delivery, hiding my packed bags so I don’t have a constant reminder that, as the doctor likes to say, the baby could come at any time from 36 weeks.
This child has been much more aggressive then Tommy. He is always pushing a little too hard in various directions that make me feel internally bruised and beat up by the end of the day. This development makes me nervous as I would really like another mellow and chill kid like Tommy. I need easy babies, people. My threshold for stress and difficult things is not high enough for any high maintenance children.
Ryan and I decided early on that we liked the name Charlie. Probably Charles Ryan Lorsch, officially. But, I’m not 100%. Since I haven’t done any other name searching, I’ve decided I need to kick my butt into gear and start looking through family history albums to get some ideas.
Can you tell that I have zero mental energy? Trying to be creative right now is really pointless. I need to save my energy for when Tommy throws some olives or wrestles with me while changing a poopy diaper. I will leave you with this adorable picture from Christmas that my sister-in-law Cara took of Tommy while he was wearing protective glasses.

Tommy is adorable. And i hear ya, i try not to think about it too. And thinking.....why even bother trying. I say just go ahead and not even try to think or do anything you dont want to ( except taking care of Tommy : ) ) Maybe ill see you in the hospital.
Wow, you're so close! Hope little Charlie is easy on ya. :)
so precious we need to have a mommy and baby date after he gets here! Aspen would love to play with Tommy! Im glad you posted since I was thinking the other day about when you were due. Im excited for you! I feel the second pregnancy is easier too since no work and nap but I cant sleep in either. So its give and get I suppose.

Here's to hoping he's only a day late.. not 8..
I love that you look to your family history to pick out names. I do that too! Plus I love old school names anyways.
