We have a wiener!

During those few days I was horribly sick from my last post, we went to our elective ultrasound to find out what baby #2 was.  With Jaxon, I totally thought he was a girl.  I even cried when I found out he was a boy, because I was just mad that my motherly intuition was wrong.  This time around, I forced myself not to have an option about gender, but for some reason Robie and I kept calling this little baby "Baby Brynn" (because our girl name is Brynnlee).  That was a big mistake, because I started really believing I was going to have a girl after a while.

Well, I was so sick the day of the ultrasound, but I forced myself to go since our appointment had been booked for a month and we were leaving to San Diego the next day.  The ultrasound technician didn't have to look long, and finally she said, "Yep, those are testicles.  You're having a boy."  She probably thought I was really disappointed, because I just said, "awesome" or some small monotone remark since I was mostly focusing on not throwing up in her office.

I am still a little shocked/scared/terrified at the thought of having two little boys running around, but I am so excited.  I remember a time in my life when I prayed and prayed to my Heavenly Father to be blessed with at least one child, so the fact that I am going on #2 is such a blessing.  I look at how much I love Jaxon, and I am so excited to share that love with another little boy.  And honestly...I am SO glad I don't have the stress and expense of shopping for a whole new wardrobe for this little babe.  My doctor told me, "The upside to having two boys, is when it's time for daddy/son camping trips, you have the house all to yourself to relax."  My doctor is a smart man.

We have a couple names we like, but we are still open to looking for one that we love.  It's so challenging finding a name.  With Jaxon, we just knew even before we were pregnant that his name would be Jaxon, so this whole picking a name thing kind of sucks.  I am just so excited for Jax to have a little brother to wrestle, play with, and be best friends with.

Baby Boy #2

I looked online to see if most babies at 15 weeks look the same on ultrasound.  Every baby looked a lot different, especially in head shape.  I compared Jaxon's 15 week ultrasound to Baby #2's 15 week ultrasound, and I was shocked at how identical they look.  It would be so cute for him to look like his older brother, and I can't wait to see him when he gets here in November!

I am now about 18 weeks, and we have our actual doctor anatomy ultrasound mid-July to confirm gender and check development.  I'm always a little nervous for that appointment, so keep us in your prayers that this baby boy will be happy and healthy.
