Big Brothers

On Thanksgiving both my boys wore "Big Brother '13" shirts to Thanksgiving dinner and to those we visited (I have a picture somewhere but can't find it at the moment). Our way of announcing they will both be big brothers in July 2013! ;)

Our ultrasound is scheduled for February 11th, and we are so excited to see baby! As far as gender is concerned, all we are hoping for is a healthy baby! ;) So far from the outside I am measuring how I should and baby sounds good! About 1-1/2 to 2 weeks ago I started feeling baby move, which is so fun and exciting!

I have been lucky to have another pretty easy pregnancy so far! I have gotten sick more this time around, but it has been brought on by actual sickness that has gone through our family and not just pregnancy (being pregnant has just made me sicker than the rest of the family b/c I'm more sensitive). I have been really tired, even so far in the 2nd trimester when that should "let up," but that's to be expected when I work at night and have two busy boys to chase after during the day. I will be 18 weeks this week, so almost half way!

We are so excited for this little one! Noah is really into this pregnancy and asks a lot of questions or is interested in me telling him about what's going on a certain week in my pregnancy. Everett will tell you the baby is in my belly, but of course he doesn't really understand what's going on. However, he (Everett) LOVES babies and plays "babies" with his stuffed animals or the boy Cabbage Patch doll that was Stephen's when he was little. I think his love of babies will help some once baby is here, but out of the two I expect him to be the one to have some jealousy.

I chose to wait to announce it on our blog because I was trying to be sensitive to those around me (friends and family whom I love), who have had unfortunate circumstances recently when it comes to pregnancy or trying to conceive. I hope that this post does not make anyone feel bad or hurt. I also chose to wait until after 12 weeks, just incase I had any problems of my own.
