Great news!
My uterus is now the size of a cantaloupe! (A fact I KNOW you've been dying to know!)
And it's housing a growing baby boy the size of a mango!
In case you haven't held a mango in your hands in a while...
that's about 6 inches crown to rump (or the length of your open palm).
Craziness!
And because I know you're wondering what a uterus the size of a cantaloupe has done to my body...
This was 8 weeks (left) and now 18 weeks (right).
This is me 17 weeks pregnant with Ava (left) and 18 weeks pregnant with baby boy (right).
I am definitely still in the "fat" stage, but looking more pregnant every day.
New and exciting things:
- I feel my baby boy moving ALL the time. I must have ABsolutely ;) no abdominal muscles after having Ava or he is destined to be a soccer player...because I have even felt him kicking from the outside already! Always moving. Best feeling in the world.
- I am feeling GREAT - in fact SO great that I would forget completely that I was pregnant if I didn't have this ever-expanding waistline or if I wasn't being sucker-punched in the bladder 24/7. :)
- No food aversions, no cravings, little to no nausea. I do have heartburn, but that's about it. My boy is already being so good to his momma. :)
- I am so completely in love, love, love with the fact that I am having a boy! I have ALWAYS wanted a baby boy and can't imagine a more perfect scenario than having a baby boy join our family!
- I am also completely terrified of being a mom of two kids under the age of two. There, I said it.
But mostly, we can't wait to meet this sweet little baby brother!
Take your time little guy, you still have a lot of growing to do!
But know that I already love you oh so much! :)
I already have his coming home from the hospital outfit, courtesy of Grandma Schooff.
Perfection.
