Dear baby Jack,

We found out you are our little baby boy Jack today. Daddy and I dropped off your older brother Max at Aunt Lexi's house then headed to the doctors. Daddy and I were SO excited to find out what you were and we were SO happy when she told us you were a little boy, our Jack.
We also got another surprise, you are not due the 28th of September like we thought you are due the 28th of August! So we get to meet you even sooner my sweet boy.
Daddy and I are counting down the days until we get to snuggle and hold you, and see that sweet face of yours. I love you so much and am excited to meet you.

Love, Your Mommy

?

We find out at 11am tomorrow!!!!
What are your guesses?

16 weeks

I am 16 weeks pregnant today. I am feeling the baby so much, and I love it. I get so many little kicks and bumps during the day but mostly just before bed. I have been feeling really good and having more energy lately. But I will get those moments of just feeling so tired. Also Max is walking everywhere and can get into everything now. So its a little bit harder chasing after him. I cannot wait to find out if this is a girl or a boy, hopefully in a few weeks. My belly is growing and growing, I have really popped these last couple weeks. I hope you like my nice pajamas. And please excuse the dirty mirror.

And here is a picture of Max wondering why I'm taking a picture and not picking him up:
(just at that moment, I still hold and pick him up.)

14 weeks

I am now 14 weeks pregnant! This pregnancy is going by a lot faster because I have a little Max to look after. But I am trying to stop and remember to enjoy this pregnancy. I know they say its kinda to early to feel anything but I have felt a lot of little flutters lately and I love it so much. I am getting bigger faster this time around because it is my second but its nice to have a little belly so people will hopefully know I'm pregnant and not just pudgy:). I can't wait till we find out if its a boy or a girl which should only be in about 5 weeks or so! We have doctors appointment next Friday and I am so excited to hear the heartbeat again.

Max of course does not know anything different about my belly except that I tell him to be careful of it a lot and I jump if he falls on me. He is getting to be such a good walker, we just have to get him better at walking in shoes.

He joined me for my belly photo shoot.

Surprise!

I am pregnant!
I am now almost 13 weeks along and due September 27th. It was a big surprise to us but we are SO excited and glad Maximus gets a little brother or sister.

{at 10 weeks}

now for the story:
When we got back from Utah in January after our nice long Christmas vacation with family I started feeling nauseous pretty much every morning. I thought it was maybe stress from getting ready to move to Utah. But then a week before we moved I threw up in the morning. Mason and I both looked at each other and thought the same thing, I wasn't pregnant, was I? So we went and got some pregnancy tests and sure enough it was positive, then I took another one, positive. Then just to be sure the next morning I took a third test, positive again. So Mason and I said, we can do this. I was nervous at first thinking of Max and how he would be a older brother at 18 months but then I got excited and happy that they will be close. So now Mason and I are just filled with excitement for this new little sweet baby to be apart of our family.

We got to hear the heartbeat last Friday and it is one of the best things. It made me feel more connected to this little cutie. I can't wait till we get to see our little baby on the ultrasound or when I feel the movements inside my belly.
