Growing Baby 2- 17 Weeks!

Last week was insane, so I'm writing this post a whole week late. In case you missed it, this little baby is a BOY!

We are super excited to add another little man to our family. It's been fun to think about whether or not he will look and act like Sawyer. I know that Sawyer will have so much fun having a little brother to play with! If you ask him if he's having a brother he says, "No, just a baby!"

We had our gender reveal party the day before mother's day and let's just say that just because something looks cute on Pinterest, doesn't mean it will work! I saw an idea to fill balloons with white paint and tell everyone that one balloon has pink or blue in it. Everyone takes turns popping them and then when they're all finished (and confused, because none actually had a color), you bring out the balloon with the color and pop it. Super cute in theory, right? Except my balloons kept falling off the board and popping in the grass. And I also bought safety darts by mistake, so they didn't work and everyone ended up covered in paint. Good thing I had a backup balloon filled with confetti for Sawyer to pop! I made this video to recap, but left out the Pinterest fail part!

We're so thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate with us and we are so excited about this little boy! Now to finalize his name! We're pretty sure we have one, but it's not set in stone.

19 Weeks!

Baby Crossen is 19 weeks today!! I'm pretty sure everyone knows already, but in case you missed it: Baby Crossen is a boy! We are so so excited about this little man! I will admit, I'm a little bit terrified because I'm used to being around little girls, but I'm ready to love and spoil this little guy rotten! We had our gender reveal party yesterday and we had a blast finally telling everyone the news. I'll post some photos of it soon.

How far along? 19 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I haven't checked since last Wednesday, but I don't think I've gained anything. I started out at 146 and lost 3 pounds during the first trimester. Now I'm back up to 145.5.
Stretch marks? No, but my stomach is itching like crazy. Guess that means it's growing!
Sleep: It's really hard to get comfortable. And I have a hard time falling back to sleep if I have to get up to go to the bathroom.
Best moment this week: This is a tie. Telling everyone that Baby C is a HIM and David finally feeling him kick!
Miss Anything? Clothes that fit! I'm at a weird stage where maternity clothes are too big, but my pants are too small.
Food cravings: Cranberry & Peach juice from Whole Foods and Almond Snickers.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing new. I miss eating eggs!
Have you started to show yet: Yep! I know that it's small compared to how it will be in a few months, but it's still looking huge to me!
Gender: Boy! Now he just needs a name.
Aches & Pains: Again-tailbone pain. Planning on starting yoga next week, so hopefully that will help.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Exhausted and irritated.
Weekly Wisdom: I'm probably going to post a whole blog rant about this later, but generally-- Don't let other people bring you down. I have so many people who tell me I'm making the wrong decisions or try to talk me out of something that I want to do. Just because the way we've decided to do something is different, does not mean it's wrong!
Looking forward to: Feeling more kicks and picking out a name!
And before I forget- I have had a lot of people ask where we are registered. I'm still working on them, but we are registered at Amazon and Buy Buy Baby.
