Pumpkin

I know what many of you are thinking. They didn't think they wanted kids and now they are having another one.  When people would say it is different when it is your child I used to dismiss them and say no it really can't be different.  But now I totally get it.  It has been an amazing journey. 

We are so excited to be pregnant with a boy. Until we finalize on a name we are calling him pumpkin.

Allen was returning from a business trip. I was pretty sure I was pregnant but wanted to wait until he was home to take the test. He came home sick:(. Alexis is an early riser so we were up by 5 am. I took the test and sent Allen a text. I thought this might wake him up.  Of courses it didn't so I went in and woke him up with the news.  He was very excited and them promptly went back to sleep:)  I texted the only other person I knew would be up at this hour--Danielle.

I was very lucky in both pregnancies to skip morning sickness.  I was just tired in the afternoons.  So thankful my Mom is living with us and Allen goes into work so early he can be home by 4-4:30pm.  Not sure how I would have survived without laying down for a bit. 

When I was pregnant with Alexis I had no idea what to expect.  I read all the "What to Expect" books over and over again.  This time I realize I forgot to read what should happen this month and then read ahead.  I really just look up when things should be happening--like when will he start kicking. 

We were so lucky to be together when Pumpkin did kick me for the first time.  Allen was home early from work on a Friday afternoon (Feb 19) and we were sitting outside enjoying some fabulous weather.  I felt a kick so Allen put his hand on my stomach and he kicked again twice. It was 2:30pm.  Makes me wonder what he will be like.  Alexis kicked me at 3am and never stopped moving.  She is like that today:)  I am thinking he is going to be more mellow.

At 16 weeks we finally got around to sending out our pregnancy announcement.


I don't have any good ultrasound pictures to share yet. In two weeks I will have the 20 week ultrasound and hopefully we have some good pictures and a video.

So excited to be having a boy.  His current due date is July 26th.
