Baby Boy!

We had our ultrasound today and we are having another boy. Caleb was a bit disappointed and kept asking why his baby isn't a girl, but he has warmed up to the idea and seems pretty excited.  He picked out some new dinosaur pjs for the baby and has come to terms that the baby's room will not be pink.  More importantly, everything looks great and baby is developing and growing well.

Here are some pics of the baby.  Not quite as good as our ones of Caleb as this baby was active this morning and had his hands in front of his face most of the time.

Weeks 16-19 pictures

Here are some updated pictures of growing baby.

Week 19...size of a pepper

Week 16...size of an avocado

Weeks 13-15

Here are some updated pictures...need to buy an avocado for this week.

Week 13...lemon

Week 14...nectarine (turns out these are a new staple on the grocery list and we have a 10lb box coming from the Fruit Club)

Week 15...apple

Update

We had our ultrasound and everything looks great.  Due date is officially January 16th.  We have some pictures, but I haven't scanned them yet...maybe soon. 

We've told Caleb and he is really, really excited. He has a picture hanging in his room and asks me to see the baby all the time.  He loves to give the baby raspberries and lay his head on it.

We aren't doing the best with belly pictures, but hopefully we remember to take them every week from now on!

Week 7 - baby is size of blueberry

Week 8...baby is size of raspberry

Week 10...baby is size of grape

Week 12...baby is size of a lime

This pregnancy has been quite different than Caleb's.  I've been pretty nauseous this time around, but fortunately, not getting sick very often.  I'm starting to feel a little better and hoping that continues. 

Best Mother's Day Ever

We're having another baby!

I had known all week that Mother's Day was probably the day to test, but didn't want to have it to be a disappointing Mother's Day, so I decided to test early on Friday and was a little bummed when it was negative.  I had a couple of early pregnancy symptoms on Saturday, so Sunday afternoon I decided what the heck...I already think I'm not pregnant, may as well just double check.  I took two tests before telling Travis, just to be sure.  I then proceeded to take four more that afternoon/evening.  All positive.

We have decided not to tell Caleb yet as we have no idea how to help him understand if this pregnancy ends the same as our first.  I'm pretty sure he will be excited to be a big brother...at least until baby is here and he truly learns what it means to share.  He's been asking for us to get a baby for quite a while (some good friends recently had one). I've been telling him it's not up to me, so he needs to ask God.  So about every other day he says "Mom, want ask God for a baby."  And then we pray together for a new baby.

We are very excited, but also terrified.

As far as due date, I'm getting either January 16th or 19th depending on which online calculator I use...like I said, welcome to sharing Caleb.  We will start by sharing your birthday week.

I haven't heard back from the doctor yet about when to come in or what their estimated due date is.  I'm guessing she will say come at 10 weeks for ultrasound.
