Pregnancy

I found out in July that I am pregnant with our second baby, and due March 19th. I am thrilled! This was a planned baby, as was the first. I broke the news to Jonathan the same way he proposed to me. I found out 2 days before we went on a family vacation to Florida, and I waited to tell him on the beach, exactly where he proposed. I opened up a jewelry box and there was the positive test! He was so surprised and so excited! It was amazing. I planned it from the very beginning. There's always the battle with myself of how far apart the siblings will be, but I think 2 years will be just fine. I am really enjoying being pregnant again. It's way less stressful this time around. I know what to expect, during and after pregnancy, and I have a very supportive job this time. Our first ultrasound was at 12 weeks and we found out it was a boy! Then, at 16 weeks, the doctor said it looked like a girl! Now we will have to wait 3 more weeks until 22 weeks to check again, and hopefully then we will know for sure. Jonathan and I think it's a boy. I felt the baby kick very strong two days ago. It was amazing! I swear there is nothing better than those first kicks. The baby is real, and healthy, and growing strong, and it's our time to bond. My reward for literally sacrificing my body. It is passing by so quickly and soon enough our little sweetheart will be in my arms. I cannot wait! Will I be able to do well as a mother of two? We'll see!
