So, I'm kinda a bad mom...I'm two weeks late in posting these "behind the scenes" pictures of the little miss. These weeks of pregnancy seem to FLY by soooo much faster the second time around. Now that the "morning" sickness has passed (laughable that it's coined as morning sickness. Mine was more like: 24/7, never ending, no matter what you eat, drink or smell it's gonna make you sicker than sick sickness but that's another blog entirely) I almost forget that I'm pregnant. Is that sad? I know all the mamas and daddies with more than one child can relate to what I mean...With the first pregnancy it seems that you have endless time to oooh and ahhh over this amazing thing happening to you and your husband. You almost have that feeling like you're the first and only people to ever experience the blessing of creating a new life. The second time however, the first little life you've created consumes most of the time that you would have used to "oooh and ahhh." For example: As I'm trying to write this, Easton and I are having a tea party (Yes! He likes tea parties! Boys can drink tea!) But sharing this experience with Easton and hearing the way he thinks about pregnancy, childbirth (he thinks she is going to come out my belly button...which she just may...it seems to be her favorite place to kick.) and all the things he's gonna teach her once she arrives makes me enjoy this pregnancy in ways I never even thought about before.
So, back to the ultrasound...
I was really stressing out because I had this feeling that they were gonna tell us, that she was actually a he. We did the gender ultrasound at 16 weeks (6 weeks sooner than we did with Easton). In the back of my mind, I kept thinking that maybe they missed something. After all when I asked the lady how sure she was that it was a girl she answered, "I've never been wrong." GREAT...my luck this will be the first time you will be! Not that I would be disappointed if it was a boy but we are having a hard enough time as it is deciding on a name, that the idea of starting from square one was horrifying!
Thankfully, it was confirmed that she is a she!
She looks perfect! She weighed in at whopping 1lb 1oz....teeny tiny!!
It's funny because I know that there is a baby growing inside my belly, I've seen her in four different ultrasounds and yet I'm still in awe every time I feel her movin' and a groovin'. I both equally want to keep her inside of me so that I don't have to share her and want her to be here so I can kiss her sweet face.
