A Mom, a Dad, and TWO BOYS!

  A good friend of mine decided to start a blog to track her pregnancy and inform her family and friends of all the news and changes she experienced throughout her pregnancy. I thought it was a brilliant idea and I decided to do the same thing. I just don't feel right about tracking my pregnancy through Facebook and some of our family doesn't have Facebook so they can get updates through here. As most of you know we found out in September that we were going to be having another baby. We decided to wait until after the 3 month mark to tell family and friends which was one of the hardest secrets we've had to keep! The first trimester seemed to be a piece of cake. I didn't experience any morning sickness (Thank God!) or anything else too weird or painful. The only symptom I seemed to have was exhaustion. I was tired all the stinkin' time and didn't want to get out of bed or off the couch which is hard when you already have a little one running around with endless energy! The first trimester seemed to drag on forever also since we didn't share the news with anybody! Now that the second trimester is here I'm excited to start feeling the baby move and to finally be out of the "Is she fat or pregnant?" stage. We went to the doctor today, January 14th, 2011 (19 weeks) to have our first sonogram and we found out we are having a boy! We're very excited that Colin will have a little play buddy and we think he is going to be an awesome big brother! Also as of today I've felt the baby move a little bit but right now they just feel like little muscle spasms in my lower abdomen...Will is very excited to be able to feel the baby move as well within the next few weeks! This second trimester seems to be like what most say it is "the coasting stage." I still feel tired sometimes but not as bad as the first trimester. That is pretty much all their is to add to the first post of our blog! Don't worry I'm sure there is plenty more to come and hopefully some pictures too!
