Were having another baby!!!
Drew and I always knew we wanted more then one child because we wanted to give Ethan a sibling. I was an only child till I was about 12 and by that time I had already hunted for lots of Easter eggs alone and and opened up Christmas presents with my mom. No offence mom but it wasn't as fun as if I had someone my own age to hang with . So for those reasons plus reasons of our own we wanted another baby. We wanted this one to have a summer birthday because Ethan has a winter one .Which meant that we needed to conceive in Oct, Nov or Dec. We started trying and low and behold that same month(Oct) I'm pregnant!!!! I'm a little over 12 weeks and the other day we got to see the baby's heartbeat and hear it too. My doctor said it was very loud and strong which was a good thing. Like with Ethan this time around I'm sick again :( If anyone doesn't know what this feels like count your lucky stars you don't because its horrible and sometimes a bit overwhelming. With Ethan I had the opportunity to take naps and sleep in whenever I wanted. This time is a bit different because we already have a great responsibility with our crazy little Monkey. I'm so tired and forget that I'm sick sometimes because I'm busy changing diapers and chasing after Ethan' which is a good thing :) I still work 40+hrs a week and do the mommy, wife and friend thing which wipes me out at the end of the day. I put my photography for others on the side for now until I feel better and have more energy to keep up with my already crazy life. I'm usually in bed by 9 or so sometimes earlier. It might seem crazy but I swear I feel little flutters already from this one. Maybe I just know what it feels like and I'm more aware of it ..no its not just gas people :) I've only gained 4lbs so far and I plan to keep the weight gain at a minimal if I can. I'm still on the treadmill and push myself even when I'm not feeling the greatest..it helps.
Drew and I are so excited and last night I'm pretty sure we picked out a boy name and a girl name for baby bean Nelson!! And we LOVE them both!!!! Our list consisted of 5 girls names and 3 boys name. Every time we would read a name out out loud it either reminded me of someone or Drew of someone and those were all no go's. Although I would like to share one with you that Drew actually really liked that I was like " Uh, did you bump your head? There is no way I would name my son Wolf" hahaha Drew is loony sometimes. He has been growing his beard out since we found out and the agreement is that he grows his beard out until the baby comes. Call me crazy butI love a scruffy beard face ;)) We'll see how long he can go before he goes crazy and shaves it . But anyways that's why he thought the name Wolf was cool because he looks like a wolf himself .
I keep having dreams that a woman dressed in a long white dress with long brown hair tells me very distinctly that "your having a girl" and I keep seeing the baby as a girl in my dreams. Maybe its just my own thoughts before I go to bed but I feel this one is a girl or maybe its the fact that I don't want to be preggo again because as much as I LOVE my babies I DON'T like being pregnant..just being honest. If this one is a girl I think that's it, if not well then 3 is the limit for us whether or not I have 3 boys . Don't get me wrong I love little boys but I think it would be fun to have a girl too, mix it up a little.
Well whatever you are little bean in my belly daddy, your brother and mommy already love you xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
