It's a Boy!

Today was a very fun day for Adam and I, we had my 20 week ultrasound and everything looks healthy with the baby and we got to find out the gender! The baby cooperated and it's a boy!! We started the day by dropping Eli off at daycare earlier than usual so that we could go get breakfast at a cafe nearby. What a great start to the day, it was super yummy & the baby officially likes raspberry crepe's :)


All along I had a mother's intuition that I was pregnant with another boy. For starters, I am carrying the same exact way. I just started to wear maternity clothes a few days ago. I seriously look like I swallowed a basketball and it all happened overnight just as it did with Eli and the same exact week! How odd? This pregnancy has been smooth sailing and I can't complain one bit. I think I can say I even feel better than when I was pregnant with Elias!


Our little guy clearly doesn't realize he will have a little brother soon but I know he will be a great big brother. He is such a joy to have in our lives and I can't wait to have another one soon! I feel like once I found out the sex of the baby when pregnant with Eli it was a whirlwind from there. I know the last 2 weeks I may have not thought it was going by fast (I think I get a break on this one... I was overdue!) at the time but it sure did looking back. I am going to cherish the time we have with Eli where we can give him our undivided attention in the meantime :)

Some other updates on Eli, he is quite vocal and has a few words he says pretty regularly now! We are finding it so much fun to hear him talk with real words and even use them in the right context at times! Outside of Dadda & Mamma Eli can now say the following words:

Doggie, Uh Oh!, Stop, Hot (this is because he is always by the oven!!), Hi, Up, and Hey (although I haven't heard this one first hand yet).

Here are some recent pictures of Eli, he LOVES being in the garage with Daddy. It is just too cute.


Eli's other favorite thing to do is to put our shoes on and walk around. Here he is today with Adam's Adidas sandals on.

Hope everyone is getting excited for the holiday season approaching us. I can tell you I am thrilled to be pregnant at Thanksgiving time! hahhaha...
