Bump Watch


Here's a photo of mommy and baby boy Jakub at about four months pregnant. Yes, I believe he has a name, but we're not sharing quite yet. Possibilities include (in alpha order):  Benjamin, Henry, and Owen. I love all three and Jon is taking a little longer to decide his favorite. More on that soon, I'm sure!

So far my pregnancy has been pretty rough. But it's all OK because I know I'll get a sweet little baby boy when we're done and we just can't wait to meet him! I was really sick from weeks six to 16. After that, I quit vomiting, but the tiredness and nauseau hasn't really gone away this time like it did with Elizabeth. That's OK, little man, I'll work hard to keep you comfortable, as long as you give me lots of snuggles on the other side!

I haven't had much for specific cravings, but I do crave carbs quite a bit. And I've always been a sweet-tooth, but those tend to upset my tummy, so I try to stay away -- NOT easy! His heartbeat has always been averaging in the 140s, strong and healthy. He also has measured right on schedule at our three ultrasounds. He's moving a LOT; all the time it feels like. And especially at night. I also feel like I'm carrying him pretty low. Maybe that's the second baby thing, and maybe that's the boy thing :) Just 3.5 months and counting til we get to meet him!!
