So much for keeping up to date..

Well, it has been a month since I last posted anything. Didn't I say not long ago that I was going to keep this up to date? Nah..I couldn't have said that, because I know I would have done what I said I would do. But anyways..

I am officially at the half way point of this pregnancy! As Gage would say..HOO HOO! I've done pretty good so far, besides being wicked tired and a bit grumpy. What, me? Grumpy?? NEVER! I had my 20 week sonogram the other day. Justin came with me, which was nice because he missed Gage's sonogram because I was in another state. Watching his face was the fun part for me. So..I went in there hoping for a girl but pretty sure it would be a boy. Especially since everyone it seems is having girls. I always have to be the odd ball and do the opposite. While the sonographer(or whatever the official title is) was doing her thing, she was checking out the kidneys and I saw a little bubble. Now, once I saw that I knew it would be a boy. Justin was oblivious so I didn't say anything. Then, of course...she started to scan lower and I was right! I TOLD Justin not to call the baby she until he knew for sure! So there you have it...hot dogs:3 buns:1. I'm getting another momma's boy. I'm pretty sure we have a name, at least we(actually I) picked one out. I think we are going to go with Eli. It's different but not too out there and it goes well with Gage.

The sonogram was pretty neat though, a lot different from Gage's. This baby is active and has HUGE feet! While it was going on the baby's mouth was moving, hands were going and fingers wiggling all over. From what I could see...we have a big footed, fat cheeked baby brewing. I'm good with that, I'd rather have a baby with a little more meat on their bones. Then I don't feel like I'm going to break it. Now, I won't lie...the minute she said it was a boy I started to worry. I started to think, ok...I need to start with sign language right when the baby is born, just in case. Then, I thought I need to really keep track of milestones, fine/gross motor skills, socialization, eye contact..all of that stuff. All of this is going through my head while laying there. Of course, this baby not be on the spectrum at all, but it is more likely for another boy to be than a girl. Not that it would matter anyway, but it's still a worry. Alt east we know what to look for and have a support system already set.

Now..another good thing is that I have sooo many clothes that still have tags on them from Gage that I can now use! Plus I have onesies coming out my butt..not literally of course, that would be odd. I won't use all of Gage's old clothes on this baby, because those are Gage's memories. But I can use a lot of it.

Speaking of Gage..he is continuing to be awesome...lol. Actually he is doing great with his speech and sensory. He is saying so much and really trying to say even more. He is even starting to say things with out prompts. One thing in particular that is adorable that he does is point to my belly and say baby or sometimes will say brother. How cute is that? We're waiting patiently for the go for school. As soon as they open another room, Gage is in. I'm still hoping for one room over another, but any room is better than no room. I think in a room Gage will just blossom. I would make my usual list of the new things Gage says, but I'm too tired to think of all of them! I'll have to put in on here later.

I'm sure there is more to update and sorry about the lack of pictures. I do have some..of the sonogram and from a recent trip to the pumpkin patch but those will have to come on another post. I'm going to sneak a quick nap while I can.
