Number Two

Yup... this is happening.

Baby Beam #2 will be here at the end of February!

We're hoping to stick to our guns and not find out the gender until he/she is born.

I've had a pretty easy pregnancy again...very similar to my last one.

Not one bit of morning sickness but tired...  So.So.So. tired.

I'm 18 weeks along and its just started to subside.

I am very ready to be productive again.

Lets just say Braxton has watched a little more Mickey Mouse in the afternoons than usual.

I started showing pretty early with Braxton and popped about 15 weeks along,

and its even earlier this time.

It was pretty noticable at 12-13 weeks, depending on what I wear.

My appetite has also been very similar to when I was pregnant with Braxton.
I craved a lot of dairy the first trimester... milk, cereal, bagels/cream cheese, etc.
I don't really have major cravings this second trimester but I still crave really cold milk for dinner every night.

It's funny how we've approached this pregnancy comared to the last one.

With the first... its like that is all you can think about and plan for.

Now, it seems we're so busy with Braxton and everything else, some days I forget I'm even pregnant.

Obviously it will be different when I'm bigger and start feeling the baby move but its like we

haven't had time to stop and really take it in.

Braxton hasn't really caught on to whats happening, of course.
But he knows there is a baby growing in mama's tummy
and he says "mama's baby" when he sees the ultrasound pictures.
He also changes his mind everytime when we ask if he wants a brother or sister.
I think its safe to say we are all pretty excited!
