The Baby Bump Chronicles: It’s a Gender Reveal

boy4

Our house is about to be wild x 2! Twice the gross humor, twice the rowdy and come potty training time, twice the pee all over my bathroom floor. I couldn’t be more excited! Maddox called it all along, every time we asked him if he thought the baby was a boy or a girl, he would say, “baby, boy, like me!” He knew best for sure and is so excited to be expecting a little brother.

Now, the fun begins, since we’re expecting another boy I am going to put all of my focus into creating a new big boy room for Maddox and transitioning his current room back to a nursery, I’ll be sharing my plans for that soon, lots of DIY and decorating on a budget will be going on.

Now onto an update:

How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I haven’t weighed myself since last week, according to my tracking I was up roughly 7 lbs, but at my visit, the Dr. said I was only up 3, I’ll take it!
Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well.
Best moment this week: Finding out we are expecting another little boy!
Movement: Still lots of movement. Some of the kicks are starting to get pretty aggressive too. Surprising since at 20 weeks when I was pregnant with Maddox I was only feeling little tiny flutters.
Symptoms: Intense hip and inner thigh pain, making it difficult to walk. I feel like a cripple! Still holding strong with at least two weight training workouts a week and overall activity on most days, like easy walks, but somedays the pain in my legs really gets to me!
Food cravings: I’m still not craving too many things, but with the start of November I instantly start thinking about how glorious Thanksgiving is going to be. Do I over indulge on Thanksgiving? You can bet I do! Then I work it off with an all night shopping binge.
Food aversions: Onions, rice, the smell of greasy food or onions, fish. I’ve been doing a lot of crockpot cooking lately so I don’t have to deal with cooking smells, on our menu this week is a pot roast, chicken chili and buffalo chicken breast, mmm.
Gender: Boy!!
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? Coming out! I didn’t feel too large until I was standing next to one of my friends who is due within a week of me and is much smaller, yeah, I felt pretty large and in charge then, haha.
What I miss: Starbucks!!!
What I am looking forward to: Pulling out all of the baby things from the attic and getting ready for baby!

Thanks for reading, excited to share Maddox’s toddler room plans with you next!

    OMG How exciting another BOY! Wohoo! Congrats gorgeous. I do have to admit I was secretly hoping you were going to say girl, so you could have your mini me, shopping buddy and fashionista. But a boy is great too! Now you can still be the only Queen of your castle with your little king and princes to surround you and lookout for you. Congrats again doll.
