So I haven't even written anything so far on my pregnancy with this baby boy! only 10 more weeks! It feels like forever away but when I think about how I only have 2 more months to just spend with Chloe, I start to panic! Here are some thoughts so far...
*At my 20 week ultrasound baby boy had an echogenic heart focus on his heart which is 1 of the many markers for down syndrome so I had to go back in at 22 weeks to do a more detailed ultrasound. I did dismiss the chance to do further testing but via ultrasound baby looks healthy as far as they can tell...his nose has a bridge, he has long legs and arms, no heart defects, etc. Along with that I'm at a super low risk for a down syndrome baby and the chances are very low but it's still something I think about every day. They can't totally dismiss the possibility but my dr feels pretty confident baby boy will be healthy.
*Baby boy was a pretty mellow mover up until about 3 weeks ago and then HELLO there he is! I kind of love it! I rather feel him move all the time than not!
*He doesn't have a name yet. I had my heart set on something that Michael doesn't love (yet) so I'm still brainstorming but when it comes down to it...I should and hope to get my way.
*I LOVE salt and Chocolate! I seriously can't get enough! BAD!!! my chocolate cravings are TRUE cravings...I can't function until I have at least a tiny bit!! As for salt...the more salt the yummier!!
*I'm super moody and emotional! I'm seriously not nice sometimes...poor Michael has taken a beating this pregnancy! But it's the hormones. I promise!!
*This pregnancy is totally different than Chloe's...how I carry, how sick I was in the beginning, no achne, I grew hair on my head instead of having it fall out (except it's starting to now), I don't feel this pregnancy is as physically demanding but I do have an obligation to keep up with a toddler and some other things I can't think of but I just feel different this time around.
*Pregnancy isn't super nice to me...I gain weight...my metabolism just shuts down and I can't help but gain! I don't just gain it in my belly either...it's a full body effort!! It's definitely hard on me mentally but in the long run it's so worth it. I know I can lose it all and I know I will have to work hard and right now that sounds like music to my ears!
*I am also a very hot pregnant lady...not like "Omg she is so hot" but like eww sweaty hot. I'm always hot. I cant wait to feel cold again!
I'm pretty ready to have this baby...well...I'm ready to meet him, hold him and kiss him but I'm not sure I'm ready for 2 kids...but ready or not...here he comes!! It will be fun....right?

When Adam was born I cried and cried because it wasn't just me and Kevin any more. But it is so fun with two. You will do great!
So happy to hear an update!! Can't wait to hear what little boy gets named and to see his cute face :) Hope the weather cools down nicely for Fall so you can enjoy the rest of the pregnancy, the end is near!
LOL on the name thing. With both my boys Josh kept asking, "Are you sure???????" All the way through the signing of the birth certificate. :) I got my way though.
So I don't think I knew you were pregnant again. That is so awesome! I am glad to hear that things are going good with baby boy. I am so happy for you. I hope everything else is going great. I feel like the worst friend ever for not knowing, although I haven't even looked at or even got on my blog for months so that is probably why. So fun that you and Jacki are pregnant together! I miss you like crazy! Love ya!
Oh Michelle - reading your blog today made me almost cry. I MISS YOU!!! I wish I could hang out with you and see how cute and pregnant you are.
I've been thinking about calling you for seriously a week now. I promise I'll get around to it today or tomorrow but until then, just know that I love you and miss you!!!!
I was thinking about my cute Chloe and how I missed her birthday. The pictures are so cute. I can't believe how big she is. She just can't get taller than Caden so that they can get married....
