I figured it’s time to update my blog with our big news! This, up above, is our 3rd little bean whom we (okay, me) refer to as “snowflake”. S/he is due in early December and is currently 13 weeks “old” (ultrasound taken at 12 weeks). At the ultrasound, the baby was bouncing all over the place and kept his/her little hands up in the air close to the head – it was super cute and I wished Matthew was there to witness it, but unfortunately he had to work. Oh, well – he is coming to the next one! The baby’s heartbeat was 151.
The girls have known since early April and while Natasha fully gets it, I think Veronika is slightly confused and the first month kept insisting there was a baby in her tummy too! Then, a few weeks later “her baby” came out and she no longer has one in her tummy. =)They constantly ask me questions about the baby and been insisting on watching their own baby photos on Flickr to see how tiny they once were.
And of course – being as we have two girls – everyone and their grandma are convinced this baby is a boy! And us…? Well, we absolutely don’t care – all we want is a healthy little baby, be it a boy or a girl, doesn’t matter! Our girls are our whole world and if this bean is another little girl – perfect, and if it’s a boy – perfect too, as we would absolutely enjoy the experience of raising a son as well (as terrifying as that sounds right now!) My next ultrasound is scheduled for July 14 so hopefully “snowflake” cooperates and reveals its gender – that would be super exciting as I can’t wait to start buying cute little newborn clothes again.
I am excited to enter the second trimester today! So far, this has been the easiest first trimester to date. Unlike the previous two pregnancies, I essentially had no pregnancy symptoms at all which in all honesty worried me, but after seeing the baby and hearing his/her heartbeat, my mind was put at ease. Hopefully the coming trimesters won’t be too overwhelming. We can’t wait for December and to meet our newest addition.
