Being a mom of a Toddler while Pregnant

Being a mom in the first place is a lot of work! It is the best thing I have ever done but some days it is just hard. Liam amazes me every day with the things he does. He is already talking like he is older than 2! Chasing him around while I am pregnant sometimes is a challenge lol but Justin helps me a ton!
Liam is always talking 100 mph and I am always telling him that he is going to be just like me when I was little (my dad would introduce me to people and then tell them to be careful because I would talk their ear off lol). Liam has little games that he plays in the car with Justin and I, two of which he loves. The first being taken off of the show "The Little Einsteins," he pats his leg while yelling pat over and over, then puts his hands in the air and says blast off!! Justin and I have to do it with him or else he yells at us lol. The second game he hums and says a name.. our favorite one is Papa Matt, it is so cute to hear him say it :) One thing that is hard with Liam and being pregnant is he likes to rough house. I have told him many times to be careful with his little brother but he still tends to just jump on me. I just do what I can to shield my tummy :) He has so much energy, so it is a ton of fun to take him to things like Zoo Lights. He was walking so slow just so that he could see every light!! He absolutely loves to play outside and I'm okay with that because he burns energy :)
So.. On to baby Berkenpas 2 :) This pregnancy has been completely different than Liam. I was convinced that we were having a girl until my ultrasound said differently lol. I was in complete shock at hearing it was a boy! With Liam I gained a lot of weight and ate like a teenage boy.. with this baby I was sick and I haven't gained much weight at all!
At my 20 week ultrasound I found out that I have a complete placenta previa. My doctor said that there is a 5% chance of my uterus moving so that I can deliver vaginally.. in other words, I get a C-Section.. When I heard that I started crying because the thought of that scares the crap out of me.. I started reading on Google that if I am not careful and I start to bleed this baby could be here at 32 weeks, which is only 9 weeks away.. I am scared about doing pretty much anything now! I have another ultrasound in 2 weeks to see if my placenta has moved at all and I can only hope that it has.. Sorry the blog was so long, but there is your update :)
