If any of you know me, you know that I complain of having middle child syndrome.
Middle Child Syndrome:
The middle or second born child or children often have the sense of not belonging. They fight to receive attention from parents and others because they feel many times they are being ignored or dubbed off as being the same as another sibling.

I was the middle of three girls growing up. I always told myself that no matter what, I would treat my second child as if it were my first. I would take just as many pictures, read just as many parenting books, etc. Well, so far... I have failed!
If you haven't heard yet, I am pregnant with our second baby. I haven't picked up one pregnancy book, I haven't posted anything on Facebook, I haven't put up one of those annoying baby tickers, I just barely took my first belly shot and I'm 20 weeks now!
Its not that I'm not super excited, because I am thrilled, I think I am just being lazy about it. And I think that is why middle child syndrome was invented, not because the kid isn't loved just as much as the other kid, but because the parents just got done doing all that stuff, and they are tired and lazy!
I'm going to try really hard to not be lazy, but its kind of hard!
So far pregnancy has been great. No sickness, getting past the tired stage and I can feel the little bugger kicking away. I am due January 22nd and we officially find out on Wednesday what we are having. All along, I have leaned towards girl, but I'm not as sure as I was when I was pregnant withAvery. Travis thinks boy all the way, but I think what he wants is getting in the way of his intuition (note to baby, if you are a girl, Daddy still loves you!)
So we thought it was fun having a nickname for the unborn baby like we did with Avery, she was Spud, so we have called this baby Baby Charro. See here for an explanation. It hasn't caught on like Spud did, but maybe that's because I've really only told my close friends and family about this baby.
Note to baby: Charro, we love you so much and can't wait for you to come. Avery kisses my tummy and says hi to you too, she is so excited to meet you (you are going to rock her world!) Take your time in the womb, I hear it is nice in there.
Love, Your Mama
