This pregnancy is definitely flying by! I can’t believe
in less than 4 more months we will be welcoming our second little baby BOY into
the world! That’s right it’s a boy and
we couldn’t be more thrilled. I have
always wanted a house full of boys and so far God is obliging to my wish J
We have a name too! Baby boy #2 will be named…..Charles “Charlie”
Michael Braden! Charlie will be the
namesake of his two wonderful grandfathers, Charles after my dad, Ronald Charles,
and Michael after Colt’s dad.
This is definitely my favorite part of
pregnancy. Finding out the gender and
feeling the baby kick just makes everything so real. Baby Charlie is definitely a wild one. He moves around constantly and it’s not just
little kicks. I swear it feels like he is doing back flips and break dancing in my tummy sometimes.
Here is an update on how things have been going
these last few weeks…
Feeling: Nice
and hungry! I am definitely over the nausea hump and am feeling great. I have noticed my appetite has picked up
these last couple of weeks. I get a little
faintish and “woozy” every now and then, but as long as I can sit down and have
some crackers and water they pass.
Baby Bump: I undeniably have a baby bump now. Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas I went from having a cute little bump to a BUMP!
Maternity Clothes: I have started infusing some maternity clothes into my
wardrobe. I have transitioned over to my
maternity jeans mainly because my belly button (which never recovered from my
first pregnancy) is already sticking out again.
The panel in the jeans helps to camouflage it so my belly button isn’t
poking out of my shirts.
Baby Size: The baby weighs a little over a pound now and is the size of a large mango.
Cravings: I have definitely been indulging my sweet tooth lately. I can’t seem to get enough of Blow Pops, ice cream, and Double Stuff Oreos. Don’t worry I am only enjoying in moderation.
What I Miss: I did miss ringing in the New Year with a glass of champagne.
What’s Different: I don’t want to jinx it…but so far I have
avoided developing the dreaded “dark line.”
I had a serious one with Cooper and it took forever to go away (like 6-7
months before it was completely gone).
What I'm Looking Forward To: I am already anxious for him to be here. Once we found out for sure it was a boy all I can think about is how much Cooper is going to love having a baby brother to play with.
Best Moment: I just love anytime I get to see my little guy and our 18 week genetic ultrasound was no exception. We got to watch our sweet baby for almost an hour while they examined him and at the end we found out we were having a very healthy baby boy!
