At 20 weeks this second pregnancy is already half over! Time is flying, I think chasing a toddler, working full time and generally being a grown up is taking up most of my mental energy because I just haven't been as focused on counting down the days this time around.
We got to see our sweet baby on ultrasound this week at our 20 week appointment. Some important things to mention: Baby B is perfect! The head, heart, lungs, palate, GI tract, kidneys, femurs, bones, spine, bladder, brain, and cord are all exactly as they should be according to the ultrasound. Baby B is measuring within a day of his due date of September 22 so perhaps we will all be home and settled in before Grayson's second birthday on September 28.
Excitingly we also learned that Baby B is a BOY!!! We are thrilled and feel so blessed to be given the privilege to raise two boys, two years apart. I hope they will be the best of buds and will always have each other as a support system. I can hardly wait to watch two boys grow up together, boying it up, building and playing and just being boys!

18 weeks
18 weeks
18 weeks already!! and finally feeling better. This time around the nausea and food aversions have really been kicking my butt- but finally between 14-16 weeks it seems to have resolved. I am super hopeful this baby is a boy so I can watch G and he buddy up and boy around and just be awesome together- but I secretly think this one might be a girl since I have been so very nauseated and feel pretty much the opposite of how I did when I was pregnant with Grayson.
I am feeling Baby B swimming around on occassion now- and I love it. I find the baby's movement so reassuring and so connecting. I love it when I can feel it and right now can hardly wait until I get to feel it every day (I am sure in 10 weeks I will be kicking myself for wishing for more movement sensation :).
I made the big switch to maternity pants this week during my spring break and am so very happy I did- I am so much more comfortable and plus it kind of feels like I have whole new wardrobe (I am sure that feeling will wear off long before this pregnancy ends as I cycle through the same few tops and pants). I am hopeful for warmer weather soon- apparently my pregnancy with Grayson must have been during warmer weather even though their due dates are just a week apart as I have mostly capris and t shirts in maternity clothes. It will be nice to be able to get out of the house and get moving too- I am feeling pretty housebound and wishing that we could have afforded a spring break vacation to get some sun for a while.
Here's hoping that May brings some warmer weather, more baby B movements, an ultrasound revealing a healthy and well developing baby and the chance to be outside!!
