Well I’m 20 weeks pregnant and just last week we found out we’re having a…. BOY!! We are beyond excited! My husband really wanted a boy so I was so pleased he is getting a little buddy. I could see myself with either, infact I’m hoping for a couple of each. Well the one thing thats tough about being pregnant is the weight gain. I’m trying not to get myself too upset about it because I know after the baby is here, I’ll be right back to working out and getting in shape before baby #2. I’ve been trying to do cardio in the mornings, lift a bit and stretch a lot. I’ve never been a skinny girl so I didn’t think I was going to be one of those women’s who only gains in her belly and then loses it all before walking out of the hospital. I also don’t want to blow up like a blimp and have 40lbs to lose after he’s here. i admit, my diet could be better but sometimes its tough to find things that really appeal to me now.
I’ve been feeling the baby kick a lot lately. My husband can’t wait until he can feel him too from the outside. I think we have at least 2 more weeks before that happens. Its such a reassuring feeling to know he’s kicking around in there. When he was much smaller, sometimes I would think, am I REALLY pregnant because everything seems too still in there!? When we went for the ultrasound, I could see him in there flipping and kicking on the screen while I felt him flipping and kicking. It was sooo cute!!
Now its name time since we now know its a boy but we’re going to keep that a secret until he’s here. I have a bunch of ideas that I like so we’ll see what my husband thinks. I’d like to give our children unique and special names so we’ll see what we come up with! I just don’t want them to have other friends or kids in their classes with the same name.
Well, here are a few pictures…
One is my belly at 18 weeks and 3 days… its a bit bigger now but not much… another is our ITS A BOY shot and the last is our “baby yoga” shot. He has his thumb in his mouth and his foot by his head. How funny!
