It's a ...

BOY!
We couldn't be more excited. We took the girls and Abbey cheered when they told her she was having a baby brother! He was very active during the ultrasound. He was covering his cute face with his cute hand, that kept waving at us! {I forgot how much fun the ultrasound was}

So fun to see our sweet, HEALTHY, baby BOY! Now we have to wait 4 more months to meet him. Can't wait {but hopefully we can agree on a name by then}

I thought, having a blog with this pregnancy, I'd be better about keeping track of it. I haven't.

**At 18 weeks, I'm feeling pretty good. I still have a few bad days, but they are becoming few and far between.

**I felt him kick for the first time at 16 weeks! {This is MUCH earlier than my girls, who were both at 19-20 weeks}
And ever since I have felt him kick daily...I LOVE it! {as I type actually}

**I am so excited for RJ to have his little boy, I was getting so nervous that it would never happen.
** I actually said a little prayer before the ultrasound...that it could be a boy.
{ I never would have admitted to that if it were a girl}

**This pregnancy is actually FLYING by for me, and I know he'll be here before we know it

**The girls have been wonderful. Letting me sleep if I needed to. Letting me lounge on the couch if I needed to. It has been so nice having them be a little older and more self-sufficient. And Abbey is such a big helper. She is Makayla's second mom! {sometimes FIRST!}

** RJ has been super DAD. He does the dishes, plays with the girls, puts them to bed...pretty much everything.

**I haven't been nearly as sick with this pregnancy as I was with the girls but I have been soooo TIRED! I'm still trying to regain my energy!

PS. cute note-- After the ultrasound, we started leaving and Makayla said, "Wait! We have to take the baby out!!" She thought we were going to get to take him home. It may be a long 4 months for these girls to have to wait to meet their baby brother!
