Wow, this pregnancy is going fast! With each pregnancy, the 20 weeks before the ultrasound- if you're finding out the gender anyway- is much longer than the following 20 until baby arrives. I'm sure most if not all of that has to do with preparations-- setting up the nursery, shopping for baby, rearranging the house, showers-- you know, whatever keeps ya busy. But I have to say with this pregnancy, it's all going by pretty fast. I'm still barely over half way, but baby 3 will be here in less than 4 months, oh my!! I should have less preparations this time, you say? Perhaps. Baby 3 is sharing a room with Will but there's still some items I want to sew/craft and some baby things that need replacing or upgrading. So, there's plenty to do. Plus, we're still deciding whether or not to keep the froggy/duck nursery theme going in Will's room or to transition him into a big boy room and find baby bedding to match. See?!!? So much to think about! And we've gotta get deciding so I can move on to preparing.
Dear baby 3, I promise we're thinking of a name for you and I'm pretty sure we've decided on one, but I'm not embroidering anything until I'm 100% sure!! I'm certain you'll have a name before your arrival and that's better than we did for Will- his name wasn't official until after he was born. You've been moving a lot more lately- mostly in the mid-morning and evening but on occasion, you check in at other times of the day. During my first ultrasound around 18/18.5 weeks, you were curled into a ball and the ultrasound tech couldn't measure everything, so I had another ultrasound at my appointment this week. Well this time you were very active! In fact, your heart rate got a little high at one point so I'm scheduled to return next week to check this again. I'm praying it's no big deal- the doctor wasn't concerned but she wanted me to come back to see my OB who was out of the office that day. I'm asking my readers to pray it's no big deal as well (hey guys, will you pray it's no big deal as well?) I'm excited to make some decisions about the room you'll soon be sharing with big brother so I can get to work! See you in a few months! Love, mommy.
