19 weeks...and it's a BOY!

Holy cow...was I ever shocked!! We all thought for sure it was another girl. We got the surprise of a lifetime :) Good thing we were able to find out now...and not at the end. This way we have time to get everything done...painting...and purchasing. We need to figure out some storage solutions for their shared room...and need to get cracking on some yellow paint. Luckily E & I will be gone for 2 weeks soon, so Daddy can work on the painting while we're gone.

We're ecstatic to be having a boy...but it did take a little adjustment for me at first. It took me a good day to comprehend it all. I so want E to have a sister...so I had to let go of that vision I had in my head...and focus on all the great things a little boy brings to our lives :)

He's been busy kicking up a storm...or as I say...practicing his throwing arm lately. I felt a punch/kick from outside my belly...so he's getting bigger in there :)

Not too much else to report...considering this was BIG news :) We can't wait to meet our little man!!

17 weeks...and an almost 3 year old

We're humming right along. I'm 17 weeks today, and feeling pretty good. I'm starting to get uncomfortable at night...so I hope maybe this is just a phase..or because it's been so warm lately. I'm not prepared to spend the rest of this pregnancy uncomfortable :) I know what to expect in the 3rd trimester...but not prepared for it this soon. Last appointment everything was good with baby...heart rate 155...so that still has us convinced it's a girl...but we'll see. We go for our ultrasound at the end of this month. We'll know then if we can relax...or if we need to get cracking on repainting...and buying boy clothes :)

Other big news...our girl is going to be 3 on Saturday. I can't believe it. This year of 2's has went so fast. I can't believe how much she has changed in a year. We have actual conversations about all sorts of things...she plays so good by herself...she's become a bit of a social butterfly...which I thought would never happen...and she's just so mature. I love it...and then I don't. I want her to stay little...but I can't wait to see how much she changes this year. I'm sure we're in for a whole new set of experiences with her...especially involving a sibling...and then there's preschool that starts in the fall. I can't wait for all of it!! Happy early birthday to my angel girl :)
