18 weeks... almost half way

This last week was very eventful. Birthday birthday birthday. But it's always a fun week and it goes by quickly! A fantastic thing for me right now haha. Last tuesday was Sam's girlfriends birthday, wednesday was my dad's, friday was mine and we threw my mom an awesome surprise party! And today was my mom's! It really was a fun fun week.

One not so fun thing for me though, tomorrow, could things have gone differently the day I was addmitted to the hospital, Wyatt would have been 6 months old. It's a sad realization and strange thought to see how much time has gone by.

I'm 4 1/2 months pregnant with Wyatt's next sibling and as an early birthday present to me James and I went in and had a gender determination ultrasound the night before my birthday to find out that we are expecting a little girl!

This is all exciting as it's own experience. Finding out we are having a girl, in a weird way, snapped me farther into reality that this is a brand new pregnancy and that all my feelings and experiences are specific to this little girl and I know to everyone else this seems like a no brainer but some times I haze into feelings, almost like blurring my first and second pregnancies together. BUT now knowing it's a girl really is a defining moment HAHA. Well, I didn't say I wasn't crazy. ANYWAY
On with the update :)
