It's a BOY!

It's been over a month since we've found out but - WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!  We are so thrilled to be able to experience both sexes and we couldn't be happier!   On that note, I can't believe how different the second time around being pregnant is.  I feel like I'm depriving this baby boy by not writing every detail of his pregnancy in this blog but it's just so different this time around.  I feel great, I feel him kick every day, we talk to him everyday, everything has been good so far -- but, I'm also running around after a very active 14.5 month old, working, looking for a house, just being super busy!  I also have been sooo bad about taking tummy pictures too!  I think I've taken maybe 2.  I'm 22 weeks now, I think - see what I'm talking about!!! I look like I have a basketball in my belly.  I started to show pretty early this time around - I think because I had Ashlyn not too long ago.  I haven't gained that much weight - I think like 6 or 7 pounds.  I wasn't hungry for the first 3 months at all.  Nothing sounds good so I lived on healthy snacks and cereal.  Around 16 weeks I started to get appetite back but even now, I'm not hungry for dinner and sometimes will just have a bowl of cereal with fruit.  I have been craving red meat- which I absolutely did not with Ashlyn. I guess it's a boy thing.

I knew I was having a boy from the beginning - just like I knew I was having a girl with Ashlyn.  That 'feeling' a women gets about the sex usually isn't wrong and I just knew.  I tried not to talk about it too much because I didn't want to get Matt's hopes up, and then be wrong.  But when they told us, "It's going to be a boy" -- I told them all, "I know."

I told myself I'm going to be better about blogging about Baby Boy T's pregnancy so I could be able to look back on these memories, as I do with the postings I blogged when I was pregnant with Ashlyn.  So next will be some ultrasound pics of our little prince. :)
