Pregnancy Update - 30 weeks!

I am 30 weeks along and getting bigger and bigger each day (at least I feel like it!) They said at my last doctors appointment that I was measuring 2 cm above normal but not to worry as this happens with mothers that have multiple children (something about the muscles stretching during my last pregnancy). I have gained 17.5 pounds and will expect to gain about a pound each week till the end. I am starting to get uncomfortable, especially while trying to sleep. I cannot seem to get comfortable at night and just can't turn my brain off. The other night I wasn't able to fall asleep until 2:30AM!! Not good! I suppose this is God's way of preparing me for the middle of the night feedings again, etc. I am also getting lots of heart burn (lots and lots of hair, right?) and backpain (probably from lifting all my precious babes during the day). On the bright side of this pregnancy, I am experiencing lots of movement from this little boy and am excited to meet him! I am also anticipating Jack's reaction to this whole thing. I wonder how he will act after the baby is born? I just hope that he know's he will always be our first born and that we love him no matter what! Ben and I have also talked about names but won't be unveiling it till he's born.

It's another BOY!

On Monday we had our 19 week ultrasound. Everything went well and the baby looked healthy and we also found out the sex and its going to be a Boy! We were totally surprised as I thought it was for sure going to be a girl as this pregnancy has been totally different from my first. Last time I craved sweets and this time it was salty things. Last time I got sick about 5 times a day for the first 4 months and this time, only about once every third day for the 1st trimester. Everything was just totally different. But I now know that it doesn't matter at all! It does make sense though that everything has been different as it is a different human growing inside me! : ). We are so glad that Jack will have a little brother to play with and it will be a wonderful change for our family. Here our a couple pictures of the ultrasound.
