Your mommy doesn't like surprises, so of course we found out a few weeks ago that you are indeed a healthy little BOY growing every day in my belly! Your older brother likes to talk to you sometimes and feel my belly. He knows that baby brother is growing in there and he's very anxious for you to come play with him. My only request? Please don't be as wild as your older brother. It would be great if the two of you balanced each other out....especially for Mommy and Daddy's sanity!
Pregnancy with you is flying by. There are weeks I cannot remember how far along I am, and days where I forgot I'm pregnant at all, until you give me a nice swift kick on my bladder, or your older brother tries to sit on my lap and gets frustrated that my growing belly with you in it, takes up so much room.
Between week 18 and now (week 22 & 3 days), I feel like you've doubled in size! You're about 1 lb. and we were able to see you on an ultrasound last week which was really cool! You like to lay in odd positions (ultrasound #1 you were face down, curled up in a "childs pose" yoga position; this last ultrasound, you were laying on your side on the side of my belly). Daddy & I took a tour of the hospital we plan to deliver you at (I say "plan" because the hospital is a little bit of a drive. Hopefully we don't deliver you in Daddy's car on the way there!).
Just like your brother, you do not like it when I eat too much calcium. Not sure why, it helps you grow! Thanks to your older brother, my back is already in bad shape, so carrying you around during the day is really wearing on my back already. 18 weeks to go!
I promise we will get started on your bedroom soon. Right now it's Evan's play room, so we need to find the right time to break the news to him that it's going to become your room (hopefully we can move the play room so the two of you can play together in it someday!).
Daddy & I have decided to keep your name a secret until you are born. We'll see how long I can hold out on that one!
Well, time for bed now sweet pea. Hope you're cozy in there while I get some much needed rest!
Love,
Mommy
Belly pic - a little over a week old, but I'm lucky to remember to snap these when I do! It's fun to compare them to when I was pregnant with Evan.
