19-21 weeks - Baby #3

Going on 22 weeks here and already feeling b-i-g. 

I finally ordered maternity clothes, so I am looking forward to a package delivery in the next few days and hope I will be more comfortable! 

I have gained 11 pounds so far, but it feels like a lot more and the yoga clothes just aren't cutting it for me anymore, even though they are the most practical :)

Hunter still thinks he is getting a sister and asks if he can touch and kiss "her" every night before bed. We correct him and tell him he is getting a brother, but he doesn't seem to be convinced at this point! Sorry buddy!

What is new with the baby?

• The baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — about the size of a carrot. 
• You may feel like he is practicing martial arts as movements turn into full-fledged kicks and nudges.
• Your baby's eyebrows and lids are present now.

Little Brother

Hello sweet face (staring at camera). 

He is measuring right on track for February 4th. All of his limbs, chambers, and parts are intact. If he is anything like his brother, we'll have a February 3rd baby :)

Baby #2 is a......

Shocked is a understatement! 

Our ultrasound tech told us at 12 weeks she predicted girl - and these days the predictions are usually right because the picture is so clear. We've been calling the baby a she, talking about girls names, browsing girls clothes online, and I even went as far to take WAY more pictures of Hunter eating the pink frosted cake rather than the blue (we did both colors just in case...). 

Right before walking into our appointment I had a nagging thought in the back of my head about how crazy it would be if my doctor miraculously said "it's a boy!" Obviously, having a girl would be just as exciting, but thinking about Hunter and a little brother so close in age just made my heart happy.

Well, it turns out Robert was thinking the same thing. After the appointment, we sat in the car and confessed that we both had the same thoughts going into our appointment but that we didn't want to admit it. 

I guess it's time to start thinking about boy names, huh? 

Can't wait to meet you baby boy!

Baby #2 - 20 Weeks!

Halfway there! 

I am finally feeling pregnant these days. My work clothes are getting snug and I am getting comments here and there about my belly that's definitely popped. Dresses are my best friend and I catch myself holding the belly and clutching my back when standing too long. I am having to get up more often to walk during the days I am sitting in my office in front of the computer. 

Baby is kicking away and rolling around, which always makes pregnancy sweet. It's fun to unwind at the end of the day and watch he/she poke around in there. Can't wait to see all your limbs on Friday, baby2

 Baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He/she is also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — about the size of a banana. He/she is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for the digestive system.
