I am going to attempt to attach a song to every blog post I do. That will give me more inspiration to write about and try to make things more engaging. We'll see where it takes me.
My husband, daughter, and mom came along to my twenty week ultrasound about a month ago. That is where the technician does an anatomy scan of the baby. From the head all the way down to its toes. The baby is healthy and growing. I was about 80% sure the baby was going to be a boy this time around. Was I right?
My instincts were right this time. I think only because I felt so much worse the first three to four months and it was nothing like my first pregnancy. Between the morning sickness, backaches, and feeling extra tired. Plus a cold on top of all that I was a mess the first month. I am excited to have this little guy come into our lives. I can do this, right? I grew up with a brother so I know a thing or two, but this will be a new ball game for me. Emily seems a little more enthused about having a brother as the days go by, but I know big changes will come to Chris and I as they will to Emily.
Next up is naming the kid and we have no clue. I have about five or six names I can roll with, but my husband is not much help. Boy names are tricky. They can either be ancient names or super modern. I think when it comes to names I tend to stick to classic names.
Next up is getting the nursery painted (color name is blue tango) and all the baby furniture set up. Not sure if I am going to have a "theme" or not. I like the colors blue and gray so I am going with that for now.
