Baby Boy

I haven't written much about this pregnancy and I wanted to take some time to write a little bit.

First, finding out we were pregnant again was such a wonderful and amazing thing. We were both thrilled and very grateful to be able to have another baby.

Before we found out what we were having I wasn't set on wanting either a boy or girl in particular. I thought a girl would be great because then she and Katelyn could be really close and best friends, but a boy would be great as well because they still could be best friends and we would have one of each!

When I found out we were having a boy I was so excited. I couldn't believe it. I thought we were having a girl. Now that I know a little boy is on our way I get so excited and nervous at the same time. I'm just so happy I can experience the differences and good things of having a girl and a boy. I get nervous because I've had sweet little Katelyn to take care of all this time and boys are different, I don't know how it will be. I'm not just talking about being different as a newborn, but being different as teenagers and dealing with all that.

I can't wait to see how much this little boy is like his daddy. I keep telling Nick he'll really be like me because Katelyn already reminds me so much of Nick :) I can't wait to see what he looks like. What color of hair he will have, what color eyes he'll have. I can't wait to decorate his room and think "blue" instead of think "pink" (boy do we have A LOT of pink).

I'm just about 25 weeks along. This pregnancy has gone by fairly fast, however there are days when I think "Can it just be January already??"

It's exciting to feel like I'm going through the exact same things I went through when I was pregnant with Katelyn. I was pregnant during Halloween and had a huge belly during Thanksgiving. Christmas was spent here at home. It's all just reminding me of 2009 and it feels nice to think back on those days when we were expecting Katelyn. They will be almost exactly 2 years apart.

I don't really feel sick anymore, so that is nice. I feel huge (I'm scared to think of what 9 months will feel like then). I feel him kicking more and more every day, but he doesn't seem as active as Katelyn was. I don't really crave anything. I haven't had heartburn NEARLY as bad as I did with Katelyn. That is one thing I am so thankful for, because I would be up for hours at night when I was pregnant with Katelyn just sitting there in pain.

Everything else is very well. We just can't wait for January 11th (or sooner) to get here so we can meet our little guy! I'm just absolutely thrilled to be having a little boy!!
