Undoubtedly the post you've all been waiting for! 23 weeks in (give or take)

I'm just about 6 months into this third pregnancy now and it seems to have been the fastest yet. (Given, I have a few more months left to go...) So far, all has been great! We have Kaiser insurance currently, so I needed to get to know a new team and OB. Everything has been going smoothly. I'm monitored like crazy, lots of base line testing, questions, appointments, ultrasounds, but nothing I wouldn't do to get this new little stinker here safely to our family.

I've been torn this entire pregnancy about predicting whether the new baby was a boy or girl, mostly comparing this one to my previous pregnancies of both genders. I've been nauseous like crazy (McKenna), beyond fatigued (Wyatt), ridiculously irritable lol (both), no strange cravings (both), and a few other symptoms that are not very telling. Either way, we know we are blessed to be receiving another little stinker who will definitely belong to our growing family.

At least we know that who ever joins our family is going to be exactly who they should be :-) regardless boy or girl we are absolutely in the position of a win/win!

We have been helping McKenna recognize these new changes coming her way and she responds as if she understands lol. She has such a caring and helpful demeanor. She's loving and sweet. She loves her little babies, feeds them, cleans them, and puts them to sleep. I only pray some of these traits will translate well once her real baby arrives :-)

Well, after everything I made you read here's the news you've all been waiting for! McKenna is going to a big sister to a baby BROTHER! I'm so happy, elated, nervous and scared beyond belief to be expecting a second little boy but I know my Heavenly Father is watching over me and my family, he has put amazing doctors in my path and I know all will be well.

What a strange feeling it is. I have my lovely anxiety that keeps me from accepting and settling my worries that everything will be great, just because of my first experience with Wyatt. I can't even begin to explain it all at the moment anyway. I take everything a day at a time and just hope to do the best I can. I've been blessed beyond words to have been given the opportunity to be a mother and I do not take it for granted. Thank you all for your thoughts and words of support. You truly make me feel loved.
