it's a boy!

it's taken me forever to do this post, but i figure better late than never right! we had our ultrasound 1 1/2 months ago and got to meet baby #2, and HE'S a cutie!

 

dust was convinced that this baby would be a girl, and all of the names we thought of up to ultrasound day were girl names, and we're both dying to know that we'll have at least one girl which........is why i knew it would be a boy! we were both so excited to hear the news and can't wait for beckam to have a little brother :)


i've felt pretty good this pregnancy. i got some morning, midday, and night sickness for a month or so around the 7-8 week mark but never actually threw up which was nice. i was able to control my eating habits better this time around, but i've still had a few cravings along the way - ice cream, juice, pickles, and juice to name a few - soooo yummy! this little guy has been a mover and a shaker since week 13 and is up for playing any time of day! he's a low rider too and hit his growth spurt around 5 1/2 months. i went to bed one night not really feeling all that pregnant and woke up with this bump! it was crazy, and he hasn't stopped since. i gained 7 lbs in one month and hope that he takes a little break on the whole growing thing for a little while now!

 

here's me today - just over 6 months and about as big as i was at 8 months with beckam i swear! i'm feeling rather large needless to say, but as dust says, there is a human being growing inside of me so it's all good! i'm due july 18th and can't wait to meet this handsome little guy. 2 little boys will be so much fun, and i know that beckam will love being a big brother. well.....he'll love it once i can get him to stop freaking out when i stand up to walk the 3ft into the kitchen or when i turn to go down the hall to get ready or when i am paying more attention to getting dinner ready than to him. i'm a little worried about that and would love any advice to start the transition to independent, happy go lucky, plays with his toys and not just my hair, can be in a room without his mom, whineless, helpful older brother beckam :) haha good luck right?!?

oh and here's our little guy as of monday. i guess his head was a little on the small side on our 1st ultrasound, so the doc sent us back for another one only to find out that he's all caught up and measuring right on track now :) such a little stud!
