Baby Beam #3


Well, Baby Beam #3 will officially be joining the family this September!
My official due date is September 26th but my doctor agreed to induce a week early if everything is looking good... you know, since I have 9 lb babies and fast labors and all.
I actually switched OB doctors right before my 16 week appt and I am soo happy with my new one so far!

The first trimester was a lot different then my previous two pregnancies with the boys (which were identical!), so I was pretty sure this one was finally our girl.
I felt pretty nauseous every night from about 5pm - 10pm and sometimes right after I ate, but I never threw up.  Besides all the other normal pregnancy symptoms, I also had a terrible time sleeping.
I have never EVER in my life ever had an issue sleeping soundly through the night except for a random weird night.  And I can literally count on 2 hands the number of nights that I have fell into a deep sleep this entire pregnancy so far.  It has been horrible.  

We decided to switch things up from last time and pay for the blood/chromosome testing at 12 weeks.  Apparently you can now also find out the gender at that time too and I wanted to know!
After two long weeks of waiting for results, we finally found out that
baby #3 is another BOY!!

I was pretty surprised and a little sad that we didn't have our girl.
Mostly because we are pretty sure that 3 kids is is, but now I feel like the door for 4 is still open a little bit.

I've been feeling better this second trimester... just mostly tired and somewhat unmotivated.
Might have something to do with chasing 2 crazy boys around all day as well.
I haven't felt him move around yet so this pregnancy still kind of seems like a second thought (besides the growing baby belly and sleepless nights)
but he is growing great and we are getting excited to meet him!

9 weeks

13 weeks

15 weeks

17 weeks

19 weeks

We just had our 20 week ultrasound and everything is looking great!
And it is definitely a boy, ha.
I still haven't felt him move but they said my placenta is in front so that's probably why.
I also didn't feel the other boys until 21 weeks and 19 weeks so its been pretty par for the course.
Hopefully any day now!
