Pregnancy Questionnaire

Pregnancy!

How far along?
Just about 38 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss:
A total of 35 pounds so far -whoops!
Maternity clothes?
Yes, I love maternity cloths. Stretchy everything please!
Stretch marks?
Just a few new ones, to add to my old ones :/
Sleep:
Im starting to have a little insomnia these past few nights. But I sleep when I can, and Karson has so graciously been sleeping in every morning till 8/8:30, which helps a lot!
Best moment this week:
Finding out I tested negative for the Group B Strep test. (I was positive with Karson) Now I don't have to worry about fighting with anyone about the antibiotics because I refused to take them again! I had a horrible experience with them last time.
Movement:
He is pretty mellow! He is more of a roller then a puncher :) Totally different then Karson.
Food cravings:
Banana bread! Hot cocoa! Goat cheese!
Anything making you queasy or sick:
I can smell everything... so some smells gross me out a little especially other peoples smells, ha. Weird I know.
Gender prediction:
We already know it is a boy!
Labor Signs:
Yes, I get night labor (wakes me up and then fades out by the morning) Preparing my cervix!
Belly Button in or out?
It's out!
Wedding rings on or off?
On, I don't have any swelling except occasionally in my feet and legs.
Happy or Moody most of the time:
Happy and Moody evenly! Im probably more moody being pregnant then when Im not though.
Weekly Wisdom:
Trying to enjoy my belly (because it will be my last!) Taking in all of Karson (he won't be the only little man in my life much longer) Enjoying being a family of 3 for the last time! Enjoying in indulging in the high calorie foods :)
Milestones:
Considered full term, so if I deliver all will be well!

Gender Reveal

We officially have a gender announcement! It has been a little bit of an emotional adventure after going to three different ultra sound places and being told different things by different techs.
We can now say we are having a BOY for certain.

We had an early ultrasound where they were not for sure on gender, but leaning towards boy.
We then had another quick ultrasound by a tech at the hospital who was leaning towards girl.
We then lastly went to an ultrasound place where we were told we are having a boy for sure.

Baby boy was stubborn in the first two ultrasounds and really wouldn't give us a great shot! However, on the third he was wide open and showing us every angle of his junk!

Richard and I are a little bummed we aren't pregnant with a baby girl, however we are excited to see Karson and baby boy grow up together as brothers. I do feel that brothers have a special bond! Also, we are excited to see what baby boy will look like compared to Karson! Will they look like twins? Will they be polar opposites in personality and looks? Either way we are excited. And HEY... maybe third times a charm? ; ) .....but Richie says no more, ha!

Here is the last ultrasound confirmation photo

Sea World!

Richard came home to visit us! We wanted to take Karson somewhere fun, so we decided on Sea World in San Diego. We couldn't have asked for better weather that day! We had a blast, and Richard and I both really enjoyed watching Karson get excited viewing all of the animals. His favorites were the turtles (of course), all of the many "fisheys", the walrus, the whales, and Elmo!
