Almost 19 Weeks Already!!!

It's hard to believe that our newest little one will be here in less than 5 months... AGGHHH!!! I would've never guessed several months ago that we would be almost halfway to having another child right now. It's not what I had originally planned, but what a nice surprise! :-)

I've had several people asking how I'm feeling these days and to tell the truth, although I am over the morning sickness, I still have days where I don't feel too great. I do push myself a little more nowadays, but it can still be really difficult sometimes.

Here are more answers to some other questions I've been asked -

Do I look pregnant now? Yes! I do have a "baby bump" now and it seems to get bigger and bigger each day. I began wearing my maternity clothes this past week so I really look pregnant in those. The neat thing is, I had just lost almost 35 lbs when I found out I was pregnant so most of the clothes I had set aside to give away have become part of my maternity wardrobe. LOL

Have I felt the baby move? Yes! I felt this baby move a lot earlier than I did with my first one so I've been feeling it move for well over a month now. I began feeling little kicks about 2 weeks ago!!! So sweet!!!

Any weird cravings? Not so far. The only thing I "crave" I guess would be orange soda... which I really don't care for any other time.


And the questions I am asked the most (I'm sure all parents are aware of these - LOL) -


Are you going to find out the gender? We are hoping to. My next ultrasound is scheduled for May 15. I'll be almost 22 weeks at that point so we should be able to ... if baby cooperates.

Are you hoping for a boy or girl? Honestly, we are praying for a daughter this time, but would still be ecstatic if it is a little boy. DS on the other hand is praying for a brother! LOL

Have you picked out any names yet? Yes! Bethany Grace for a girl and Caden Alexander for a boy.

That's all I can remember at this moment, but if I can think of anymore questions I'll add my answers in another post.

God bless!!!

Our Newest Little Gift From God

MARCH 21, 2008 - 13 WEEKS

I'm still alive... :-)

It has been quite some time since I last wrote so I thought I'd write and let everyone know we are FINE! :-)

I am finally completely over the morning sickness and feeling a lot better now. Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for us ... your prayers are appreciated more than you could ever know.

As for our new little one, I am 16 weeks along now. I had an ultrasound since my last post and everything looks great ... and, no, we weren't able to tell the gender just yet - too early! I do go for another ultrasound in a few weeks so prayerfully we'll be able to tell then. :-)

I will try to update this blog on a more regular basis now. Of course, this is probably going to be more of a pregnancy blog for the next several months, but at least I'll always have something to write about! LOL
