We are adding a new little boy to our family in mid-May!
I know that most of you already know this, but I wanted to start my posts of the new year this way! I am due on May 15th and am 23 weeks along tomorrow. We are super excited for our new little addition and so thrilled to round our family out with one of each running around! We are also excited because we have had lots of boys born into our family in the lasy year!
How did/are you feeling? In the very beginning (like weeks 7&8) I had some morning sickness, it wasn't bad most of the time though. Since then things have been good, just normal pregnancy stuff. This pregnancy has been sooooo different than with Hadley because instead of teaching 28 busy students, I'm home all day chasing a very busy soon-to-be three year old!
Is Hadley excited? I know that she realizes that her complete mommy time, all the time is coming to and end. She talks about baby brother and the things he'll do, where he'll sleep, what toys he'll play with but I'm not sure she understands that he will be a permanant feature of our home. My sister just had her little boy on Saturday and Hadley adores him. She is so soft, sweet, and gentle with Cooper... let's hope that sticks around :)
Baby Progress? Man, I have to buy everything again!! Steve always said that this would come back to haunt me (buying most everything pink the first time) but ahhhh.... I always honestly thought that we would have two girls first so I thought it would be farther off than this :) But I guess I don't really mind- lots of shopping!! Right now we have a couple of outfits, some blankets, and well, that's about it!! Hadley is finally moving to her 'big girl room' for her birthday next month, so then we'll get started redoing the baby's room.
Names? We're pretty sure he will either be Brenner or Giles and have Steven as his middle name. This one was hard. We had a definite girls name but were super unsure for a boy!
Can't think of anything else to mention :)
