Big Brother

Baby number two is growing and we are starting to rearrange our lives a bit to make room for him or her! Deegan got a new bedroom (I hope to share more in the next post) and we are crunching to get some things done around the house before a newborn comes and takes our free time away. We have talked to Deegan about the baby and he knows the baby is in my belly, but I know he doesn't realize the true impact that the baby will have...
Deegan wanted to be a part of the belly pictures and he was especially concerned about the owie on my belly- a scratch that I got from Junebug, our cat.

Deegan was a nice little boy and kissed the owie. What a sweet boy. When Deegan talks about the baby he refers to the baby as "my baby" and it melts my heart.

Baby is doing well and growing as expected. We had our 20 week ultrasound and chose not to find out the sex so we will have a big surprise in May! I am 23 weeks pregnant as of now and feeling pretty good. Less heartburn than the last pregnancy (Amen!) and less weight gain so far (hoping to continue that trend). Baby is very active and J has been able to feel him/her kicking away on many occasions. I have put Deegan's hand on my belly and let him feel, but Deegan doesn't hold still long enough... we'll keep trying!
