I'm past the halfway mark with this pregnancy. We learned a few weeks ago that we are having a baby boy! I'm so excited to have two boys. I always wanted to have two of a kind. Dave and I had talked about if we were to adopt again, that we would want another boy. I love the idea of two boys growing up as playmates, best childhood friends and wrestling partners. Of course, the logical and pragmatic side of myself says another boy is so much easier because of hand-me-down clothes, sleeping arrangements, toys, etc.
When we went to the doctors, it was a few days before my 20 week mark. Everything with the baby was tracking wonderfully. He is an active little fellow, flipping somersaults in my belly, punching me, kicking me. He's a little bigger than what the books and websites say he should be right now. The doctor estimated he was about 13 ounces.
The best part of the doctors appointment was seeing the little guy's face! He has Dave's profile completely. I cannot wait to see my handsome little baby boy next May.
Overall, I'm still feeling really good. I can still see my big toes (just a little bit of my nice pedicure is visible) and will most likely only be able to see them for a few more days. This past weekend I did come down with a wicked cold/flu. I've been down for the count all weekend. Thankfully, Dave is amazing with helping out around the house and with Daniel. I hope I can kick this pretty quickly and start feeling more like myself!
