I think I can, I think I can. . .

Who's that person with the big belly following me everywhere these days?
Well... We are getting dangerously close to that very bright light at the end of the tunnel! We have less than 2 weeks til our little guy arrives!  Since I had Treagan at 37 weeks I totally got out of what I had no idea was SO HARD!  These last few weeks this pregnancy have been really tough for me.  I've tried to keep upbeat and positive and busy, but can feel myself slowing down big time..  I'm not sure if it's because I have a toddler to tote around this time or if it's cuz I didn't get this huge last time, but for sure my back is in much worse shape this go around. I've had really bad sciatica and if I'm not careful, my legs give out and I fall... All the time.  It's so frustrating!  And I feel so big and awkward.  But good news is... Less than 2 weeks.  I can do anything for 11 days! As excited as I am to be donezo being an oven for this child, I'm also just cherishing every second I have alone with Tay.  He has seriously grown up so much in just the last couple months, it's been incredible to watch.  He knows all of his colors, can say all of our friends and family's names, knows all of his body parts, sleeps in a big boy bed, says his prayers, and doesn't have to be held by Mama every second of the day!!!  Finally!  He's also become a huge fan of Daddy lately, which will be a huge blessing when I can't give him as much attention. I'm feeling grateful that Colston waited a couple months to come to us because I feel like we are much more ready for him now than we would have been a little bit ago!  Ready as we will ever be I guess.  Anyway, just thought I'd jot down the family's guesses on Colston's size and hair description like we did with T.... So fun.  Ahhh we are soooo excited to meet him!  Also wanted to post a couple pics of Treagan's new room.
Steamed and sterile and ready to go!
The new double stroller.  Holy crap this gives me anxiety. 
Brushing our teeth, and Treagan laughing and Colston wiggling in my tummy.
Kelly and our neighbor worked hard on this dresser for T's room, I LOVE IT!
2 is always better than 1.
The big boy bed.
Airplanes and Choo Choo's.
And Cars and Tractors.
Colston's Guesses:
Daddy: 7 lbs. 4 oz.  20".  Same hair as T.
Mama: 7 lbs. 7 oz.  20 1/2".  A little bit more hair than T, and darker.
Gigi L: 7 lbs. 3 oz.  19 1/2".  More hair and darker than Trey's.
Todd: 7 lbs. 9 oz.  20".  A little bit of light brown hair.
Brad:  7 lbs. 11 oz.  20 1/2".  Thin, dark brown hair.
Gentry:  7 lbs.  8 oz.  19 1/2".  Same hair as T.
Ryan: 7 lbs. 2 oz.  21".  Brown mop for hair.
Daniel: 7 lbs. 6 oz.  21".  Same hair as T.
Allie: 7 lbs. 8 oz.  20".  More hair and darker than T's.
Papa: 7 lbs.  19 1/2".  A lot of light brown hair.
Gigi B: 7 lbs. 7 oz. 20".  A lot of light hair.
Brandt:  pending
Amy:  pending
Jared: 7 lbs. 20".  Medium amount of brown hair.
Penny: 7 lbs. 2 oz. 20.8".  Lots of brown hair.

So funny! All of our guesses are so close! Gonna come down to the ounces :) and nobody guessed bald so we could be completely shocked if we get a sweet bald little dude that doesn't weigh 7 lbs!
He looks like he's ready to be a big brother!!!
He thinks he's big now that he can climb all the way to the top of the slide by himself!
Other big news for the fam is that my baby sis graduated from BYU this last weekend!  So proud of that girl and love her more than words could ever say!  She's DA BEST!  Congrats Baba!  Love you to the moon!
The 3 Musketeers.
We are so proud of that cute girl.
Wahoo!
