It's a....

Baby!! We're not finding out this time, so it's a surprise for everyone!


 And I'm half way through!

This week marks 20 weeks of pregnancy with baby #2! It's crazy how quickly this time has passed.
Baby #2 is right on track and looks perfectly healthy!

I lost a little bit of weight, so I'm up a pound from pre-pregnancy weight.  I'd say about half of my wardrobe is maternity now. My maternity jeans are more comfortable but keep sliding down. As long as my shirts are long enough they're fine and don't need to be maternity.  I'm sleeping pretty good and started feeling the baby really kick last week. Since about 12  I've felt flutters(much earlier than with Conall), but got some good strong movement this last week. 

Even though we aren't finding out the gender this time, I'm pretty convinced baby's a girl. This pregnancy has been so different and I've had all the midwife tales for a girl this time around: super nauseous, bad skin, wanted more sweet things to eat, color of urine, and super hormonal. Last time all the signs pointed to a boy and they were right! So we'll see. I'll be happy either way... but a little girl would be great :)

15 months




Eating a special Halloween donut treat
Conall is 15 months old, and I love watching my sweet boy learn new things every day. He is so curious and increasingly more independent. Looking back at pictures from last holiday season, it's amazing to see how much he's grown in about a year!

Some Stats:

Height: 30.75 " (25-50%)
Weight: 23.1lb  (25-50%)
Hair: Blonde with hints of strawberry
Eyes: Hazel

Favorite Toy: Maybe his toy guitar. He loves to carry it around making it play music while he sings  along. Cutest. Thing. Ever.

Food: Bread. He's a carboholic. But he'll eat other, nutritious, food too. He loves fruit, especially bananas.

Clothes: Still mostly 18, some 12 in shirts/pjs. 18 is slightly big
Diapers: 4

Playing Peek a Boo
Singing
Sleep: Mostly through the night. We had a period of time last week where he'd wake up crying hysterically, so I'd bring him to bed with us. Then that got to be a habit and we had to break it so we'd both sleep better.

Teeth: 4 on bottom, 2 on top, although he is about to cut his 1 year molars

New Skills: Singing. He LOVES music and will sing along with his musical toys, music we listen to, or music on tv. He's totally my kid cause I was quite the singer/performer when I was little...still am :)

Favorites: Being independent, walking everywhere if allowed, singing, giving hugs, playing with his toys on our new floor!
