I find myself not mentioning him much in the blog and that's simply because he's not as challenging as our darling toddler can be. But he deserves to be mentioned. I could shout my love for him from atop a mountain, so....
Welcome to my mountain!
I LOVE MY BABY G!!!
We had been trying to conceive our second child last summer. I probably took 25 pregnancy tests last summer and then sent them to my friends asking them to "tweak" the picture to see if they could make out a faint line.
After 3 months of trying, we got our positive test. (I realize what a blessing it is to conceive this quickly and my heart aches for those who are not so fortunate.)
My pregnancy with L was riddled with complications. The complication that stuck with me the most, however, was Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
I threw up nearly every 30 minutes in the beginning of my pregnancy and even with medication, I still continued to be sick throughout the entire pregnancy.
Because of the HG, we decided we needed to let our families know right away that we were pregnant so that could arrange for any help with L, should we need it. (I was hospitalized due to severe dehydration while pregnant with her)
Our families do not live in the same town as we do. Many don't even live in the same state. Shortly after we found out, however, everyone was coming into town for L's 2nd birthday.
We wavered on whether to tell them or not. We definitely didn't want to steal our daughter's thunder, but an opportunity to have everyone together like this wasn't going to happen again anytime soon.
At the last minute, when the party had wound down and everyone was about to leave, we decided to go for it.
Here's our big announcement!
My pregnancy with Baby G was polar opposite of my first. I threw up 6 times total and had zero complications. It was a joy!
Baby G is the size of a poppyseed (4 weeks)
Baby G's first ultrasound!
Size of a lime (11 weeks)
Boy or Girl? (12 weeks)
It's a BOY!
L loved the "bloons"
Size of bell pepper (18 weeks)

Baby G is now 12 weeks (and one day!) old. He sleeps through the night (and has for the last month!), but only if he's swaddled. He doesn't take a binky like his sister did, despite my best efforts. He had colic and reflux, but is all better now. It's easy to get him to smile. He loves to be talked to. He doesn't like to have his clothes changed. He can soak you from head to toe in spit up, so watch out! He has blonde hair like me. He gets called a girl sometimes because he's so pretty! He loves to talk and sing to us. He's blessed with a big sister who adores him!
He's my son. I love him and can't imagine life without him.
You're so cool! You're family is beautiful and G is just too perfect for words =)
