This little baby is giving me nothing but a healthy appetite and sunny disposition --- okay so my disposition is obviously not entirely sunny! Your father definitely gets the worst of my fussy and moodiness! I do get tired and cranky for sure -- one thing that has definitely been different with this pregnancy is my mood swings and emotions. I am definitely more emotional - and cry a lot more often than I did last time.
Funny story that will be good to keep on the record books -this week I got it in my head that I was gonna get up one morning and make us breakfast --- Max woke up early so I kinda had a little bit extra time that I didn't use for sleeping in. So I got all the stuff out to make breakfast burritos and Daddy and I were gonna take them to work. So your father comes in all dressed to go and doesn't really care that I made breakfast - or so I thought - he was in a hurry and didn't have time to eat or to help me clean up Max and help get him ready for school (which I had been hoping he'd do since I cooked!) - so when he wanted to just throw them in a to go container and run out the door I started crying --- which in hindsight I was being absolutely ridiculous - crying over breakfast burritos! --- but in the heat of the moment my emotions totally made sense!
We have had 2 ultrasounds for this little one and everything is pointing to a very healthy baby! That makes me happy --- but I am very very very anxious to find out if it's a boy or a girl.
Obviously, I would love a little girl so I could have one of each, plus I have always wanted a little girl to dress up in adorable outfits and fix her hair and play dolls with and just be girly with...
But - having just said that --- being Max's mom has been pretty stinking fun and I already know how to do boy stuff and all the toys we have are boy things --- and it would be adorable for him to have a little brother to be close to and to pick on later in life and I could dress them alike sometimes until they are old enough to tell me they hate it! ---
When I was pregnant with Max I was so sick all the time I for sure thought it was a girl. This pregnancy has been so ridiculously easy - but VERY VERY different in lots of other ways - it's hard to say it's a girl...
I keep telling myself this little one is a boy and just to have my mind set on that --- I have talked to several moms of little boys who said they thought like me and obviously with their boys wouldn't have it any other way. One of my patients had the most adorable sons - three of them --- and she showed me pictures of them --- my favorite was them all in her bed in matching Camo pajamas --- it made me cry because when I saw that it changed my mind completely --- how could I ever be disappointed with such a beautiful gift of three boys! Boys LOVE LOVE LOVE their mommas and mommas love their boys too.
So - yes I would LOVE to be able to buy tons of pink things and I have awesome ideas of how to decorate a nursery for a baby girl and even have the girl name picked out for sure --- it will be Mallory (not sure if that's the spelling I would for sure use) - either Mallory Mae or Mallory Elizabeth ---
but the Lord --- He is the one in charge, and no matter how much I ponder over how I should or shouldn't think, or how I will react either way --- it's already been decided long before and the Lord has plans for this little one that neither of us know yet!
He has great plans for our family. I would love another little man to steal my heart and to fall in love with and I would love a little angel for a daughter to be able to bond with as girls and do girly stuff too....
Either way --- this child I have growing inside of me is a gift from Him - and it's such an amazing amazing gift.
Tuesday I scheduled an ultrasound with this place across town because my 20 week ultrasound wasn't until the week of Max's birthday and I didn't want all the excitement of this baby to take away from his birthday so I decided it would be a day early birthday present to myself to find out. My plan is to have a cake and on the inside either pink or blue frosting --- I won't know the sex until I cut into the cake and the ultrasound results will be given to the bakery without my knowing the results....
This is gonna be tough but I think a really awesome way to announce the next member of our family. I cannot wait! Just a few days away!
I have been doing my best to keep taking belly pictures as it starts to grow since I did not do a very good job of this last time around! I will post a few up here soon!

These are the outfits I bought to help announce whether it's a boy or a girl!
And since your grandparents in Dallas couldn't be here for the news, they were mailed a package with two bags - Labeled #1 and #2 - One bag has boy stuff and the other has girl stuff. They will find out as they open the package they are instructed to open when we call them!
Here is a picture of the snowcones I got from Bahama Bucks. Oh Man were these the best! I got three so I could freeze them and eat them the next day !
Here is a dinner I ate that I apparently grossed people out with. It was a hamburger patty your dad made on the grill with mayo and ketchup mixed up on it ---and a side of lots of crunchy yummmmmy pickles! Pickles really do taste better when you are pregnant! Phenomenal!
