26 weeks

This picture is of me at 24 weeks, but at the time I am writing this post, I am actually 26 weeks. This pregnancy seems to be a lot more exhausting than the first one. Maybe it is because I am chasing an 18 month around all day and still trying to carry her. Besides getting tired really fast, feeling lethargic at night time, not being motivated to walk or exercise, getting a bigger belly much faster, swollen ankles and feet by the end of the day, not sleeping well at night, and starting to get uncomfortable sitting and laying down -----I feel great! Most days I actually forget that I am pregnant, especially when I am preoccupied with other things. I had my first gender dream last night and it was a boy! I always had boy dreams with Brooklyn, besides one very memorable dream that she was a girl, so who knows. Everyone tells me that I seem to be carrying different with this one. They say that I am carrying lower and more out in front. If the wives tales are true than I will be having a boy. I feel "boy" with this one, but Ryan thinks it is another girl. I would be ecstatic with either. We think we are set on our names. The boy name is the same as the one we had for Brooklyn and the girl name is one we found on a list that Holly sent us. If we do have a boy, we may have to try one more time for another girl because I really like the girls name. Yea right....that will only happen if we make a LOT more money. There is no way we can afford having 3 kids in day care!

Until next time...
