I tell myself everyday that I am going to get back into the habit of blogging but then another day comes and goes and I didn’t do it. Today is a new day and I want to document the last 9 weeks of my pregnancy for sure.
Let’s catch up…We have Ethan’s 15 month appointment on Thursday (he will actually be 15 ½ months… oops we were a little late on getting him in). I am guessing he is around 27 pounds and still tall with a big head J Ethan started to walk at 11 months and has not stopped. He climbs on everything and has become Mr. Independent. This past weekend he has learned to scowl and boy is it a scowl. Just say hi to him and he just might show you “the look.” But no matter how loud he screams or how bad he tears apart the house I just can’t get enough of him.
Our summer has been busy. We moved to Shakopee, rented out our townhome, did some landscaping around our new home, planted a garden, had a garage sale, chased Ethan and grew a baby… well I should say, Josh has had a busy summer. I mainly grew a baby but this pregnancy has been exhausting.
We found out we were having another baby on January 2nd and couldn’t have been more excited. Ethan was just 8 months old so we for sure convinced ourselves we could do this. Now I am not so sure but what are ya gonna do? During the first trimester I was tired but who wouldn’t be. I wasn’t sick with this pregnancy unlike Ethan’s but I still lost a bunch of weight. I also thought I would feel this baby sooner but it ended up being later. Everything went very smoothly and I finally got to feel Lil Hoot #2 move the Thursday of my 22nd week. Surprisingly, Josh felt the baby move the very next day. It was exciting that we got to share that experience so close together. The heartbeat has been consistently in the 154 range except for our first ultrasound when baby was 10 weeks and the heart rate was 170 and then at our last visit where the Lil Hoot #2 had a relaxed heart rate around 147. At my 28 week appointment I was measuring at 30 weeks (not too bad).
We didn’t find out the sex of Lil Hoot #2 so once again we will have a surprise… I am carrying low so I think it is a boy. I had horrible water retention with Ethan and it is back again. I think I will be resorting back to my pressure socks very soon. I am very much looking forward to this baby’s arrival and can’t wait for Ethan to be a big brother.
I will update again after Ethan’s check up!... I promise.
Much love,
Mama Hoot
Yeah! I'm so proud of you :)
