Yesterday, we had the second ultrasound for a new little guy. Yes, it's a boy! I knew I was feeling differently with this baby than Emma. A lot more sick in the beginning to the point of not being able to eat any food with flavor. It was plain baked potatoes without butter or anything. Very weird for me because I am a flavor and seasonings kind of gal. Emma said from the beginning she wanted a brother and Kyle kind of had an idea himself. So....I guess we all had the gut instincts.
Ultrasounds are so amazing. I just fell in love all over again with the little guy. I am doing all my medical care on base here at Elmendorf. So far, I have excellent care. One thing I was told was that to have a 3D ultrasound I would have to go off base and pay the big bucks. Yesterday, the radiology tech started doing the ultrasound and says, I am going to start the 3D now. They just got a 3D ultrasound machine on base. We were able to get a shot of it's little face for free. That was my "exceeding abundantly" for the day. :) So amazing to see everything so clearly. I could see the shape of it's leg...quite shapely I might add. ha! :)
This baby is very active. It feels like it is doing gymnastics about half the time. My thoughts are "oh, God another active one"! Some days I feel a little overwhelmed at the thought of two children. I think it's the hormones talking. I know I will be fine. Emma is getting older and will be 3 by the time this one is born.
We will be moving next summer with a new little one, just like we did with Emma. I don't know if I want to do a boy's room knowing I will just move in a few months. But, I don't want to neglect the little guy either. I will definitely do a room for him when we get to the new house....wherever that may be. :) It's sort of a lot of things to trust God with right now. We have a new baby coming, a preschooler, a house to sell, and we are moving and we don't know where to. Sometimes trusting is hard for me. Especially with all these pregnancy hormones going on. All I can do is just prepare. We are cleaning out closets, and getting our house in good shape to sell. I know I may not have the energy once the little guy is here.
You want to prepare for the future, but you have to live in the present too. I am enjoying the current Bible study and the ladies here. It's sad to think of leaving them behind. Actually, a lot of them are moving this summer too. That will make it easier. I think. Gotta go, Emma's needing something.

Oh congratulations - there is nothing in the world like a Son! Once you have one - there are so many things that become clearer, like your mother-in-law for example. You just understand. Tonight my boy is sick, and its killing me. I am so in love with him, he is such a ray of Joy and sunshine in my life. Not to mention a mini josh - we totally could have named him that - but I couldn't be happier for you and kyle - boys are fun, and get ready to be out numbered by the wild things in your house. I feel your pain its three to one here as well! Heaven Help!
I agree with Dara. As much fun as I know I'd have with a little girl, I love Henry so much it's nearly unbearable (especially to Henry when I insist on kissing & hugging him 61489735 times a day! ha!). There's just nothing like a Mama's boy.
And speaking of being able to relate to mothers-in-law, Jake is already laughing at the ways I am preparing Henry for his wife. Just little things I try to train (or untrain, in some cases) him, Jake says, "His wife will thank you someday!" One can only hope! ;)
Congrats and prayers for a healthy nine months! ♥
