I’ve reached the halfway point of this pregnancy, and we now know that we will be having another BOY in late May! I am so happy that our baby boy is growing perfectly – all organs developing well, heart beat 147 bpm, and weighing in at around 9 ounces. I’ve started feeling him kick and move throughout the day, which is my favorite part of pregnancy (except the direct kicks to the bladder – ugh). It will be so nice for Henry to have a brother for his best friend, to share experiences, toys, and space with, yet when we found out we were having a second boy I was disappointed.  

I really, really wanted a girl. Mostly to balance out the boy-ness of our house, to have someone to commiserate with, and share my love of girly things. We aren’t planning on having more than two kids, so I’m never going to get my girl baby. And that is okay. Okay for me to feel disappointed and sad while being totally stoked we are set to have another cuddly boy around. Okay because I am a fantastic mama to Henry and I know I’ll be a great mama to this little guy. I love him so so much already, and if he’s anything like his big brother, that love is going to continue to grow.
