My Chart

Didn't believe me, did you?

I said it would be a few months. I'm really, really bad at updating this. Like, super bad. I don't know why I keep it going. So far, everything's still going good with the new little monster. C is ecstatic and can't wait to be a big sister, and K is starting to get into the "hey we're really having a baby" mode.

We still don't know if this little thing is a boy or a girl. Not for lack of trying, though. Weather has been nuts this winter, and my ultrasound was re-scheduled due to our last big snow storm. My OB wants to send me to a specialist, because of the heart problems that run through my family, so that tends to delay things out even further for the ultrasound. Hopefully, though, we'll find out on Wednesday. They're calling for more snow, though, so we'll see.

We've decided on a name, regardless of sex. K wants to name the baby after his dad, and his dad has a somewhat unisex name, so it will work out for us. At least that means it was easier to decide on a name this time than it was with C. I'm pretty sure we didn't have a name until May, and she was born in early June. So, from this point forward, #2 will be referred to as "R" (or mini-monster/munchkin).

I'm excited to be over halfway through. So far, work is going well. It's very labor-intensive, though, and there's a lot of bending/stretching, so we'll see how much further I make it before I need to cut back on what I'm doing. At this point, I'm playing it by belly and doing what my body allows me to do. R likes to hang out fairly low, though. I can see that giving me issues with the walking and bending.

Not much else to add in here. I'll try to update somewhat sooner than almost 5 months later next time, but don't get too worried if you don't hear from me again until after the newest member of our family is in my arms.
