It's a ......

Well, it's been quite a while since I have posted anything but now that our lives are returning back to normal maybe I'll get around to blogging more. Dean has been home for a couple weeks and we are very much enjoying having him back. Pregnancy #2 is almost over. Only about three weeks left. I am feeling pretty good and slowly getting things ready. Bo has been a great helper and will be a great big brother. We debated about sharing the gender of this baby and maybe keeping it a secret until the end but decided not to torture our families any longer. So without further adieu....Here is a poem to help you figure it out.

In mommy's belly I will grow
Tiny Fingers and Tiny Toes
Some don't know what my gender will be
Although you might already see
Guess if I'm a girl or boy
I'm sure you all will jump for joy
Read this poem with great care
Look really close but PLEASE DON'T SHARE!!

Read it a few times and see if you can figure it out. If you are still stumped look at the Capital Letters.

It's no longer a secret and can be shared.

It's a GIRL!. 

Baby #2: Pregnancy so far

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. We truly are excited about having another baby!

I have been really awful at documenting this pregnancy. Pictures and updates have been pretty non existent but with Dean leaving soon for his Air Force assignment I want to make sure and document things better so I remember them.

We were not expecting to be expecting so quickly again. Bo had just stopped nursing so we figured it would take a few months at least before we got pregnant again.

@6 wks I finally took a test and SURPRISE!
@7 wks we had our first doctor appointment and heard the heartbeat. We were really having a baby.
@8 wks I started getting some morning sickness, basically just nauseous. No throwing up.
wks 9-12 were pretty easy. Having Bo to chase around really helped keep my mind off of getting sick or being tired. There was no time for that.
@ 12 wks we had our second dr appointment. Still pregnant. Still having a hard time believing that we were really having another baby!
@15 wks we told our families. They were quite surprised.
wks 17-23 have all kind of been uneventful. We started feeling baby move about week 17 and had our ultrasound at wk 20. Unfortunately, they couldn't determine the gender so we don't know if we are having a boy or girl.

Overall, I have been feeling really great. I'm exercising as much as I'm able and still sleeping pretty well. Bo doesn't really understand what is going on and has a hard time with not being able to climb all over my belly. He has been a trooper at all the doctor appointments. I know he will be a great brother. I will try to update biweekly or so.
