Waiting for August...

I know that I said the next post would be with pictures of our apartment...but we have something more exciting to share and I can't contain myself anymore!!!

In our little family we are anxiously awaiting August. More specifically, we are anxiously waiting for August 25th, 2011.

That is the due date for our next bundle of joy!!!

We found out that we were expecting another baby right before Travis came home from Tech. School and were able to celebrate the news with family at Christmas. It took a while for me to get in to see the doctor because of the move...and then all the snow/blizzard we were hit with here in Oklahoma. Waiting so long to be see by a doctor was kind of a blessing in disguise because it is making this pregnancy breeze by! At my first doctor appointment they did an ultrasound in the room. I went expecting to just hear the heartbeat...instead I got to see it. Instead of seeing a "bean" or "tadpole" on the screen I saw this:

It was so exciting to see the baby when it actually looked like a baby. This kiddo is VERY active and I started feeling him/her swimming around at just 12 weeks! Crazy how different things can be from one pregnancy to the next. Another difference is that with Parker I had no even hint of morning sickness...and baby #2 gave me quite a bit in the beginning. Of course we were moving/driving cross-country through the worst part of it. Pretty miserable for this Mommy stuck in a UHAUL feeling nauseous!!! All of that is gone now and I feel great!

For those of you who were around during my pregnancy with Parker...you know that I was huge! I let myself drink way too much juice and eat too many things that were horrible for me because I wanted them and they were delicious!!! This time around I am already at 15 weeks and feeling great. I have only gained about 2 pounds and am still all belly!!! I am so excited to know better this time around. Thank goodness for that!
Here I am at about 13 weeks (I started showing right away...like at just 4-5 weeks!!!)
15 1/2 weeks (sorry the picture quality is so terrible...taken with my iPhone)

My next doctor appointment is on March 22nd and we have an Ultrasound scheduled for March 29th to find out the sex of the baby!!!
We are praying for a little girl, but would be thrilled with another boy too!
I just wish Travis would be able to come to the Ultrasound with me...but he has meetings that week that he can't get out of...so I guess Parker and I will kill him with the suspense then (maybe we will make him wait until he gets home from work instead of texting him when we find out at 11...)

Think pink people...we will let you know what we find out in a couple weeks!!!
