Our Little Man

Meet our little man. Here are his first [legible] pictures ever. We do have some from the first ultrasound, but really they just look like a tiny blurb in the middle of a sea of darkness. This little one has made a himself quite a comfy home and I must say, so far has been a great guest. He caused me little to no nausea and is even letting me sleep! He has me craving pickles and veggies as opposed to the Sour Patch Kids, cakes, and ice creams that Mallory had me after. Don't get me wrong, a good ice cream sounds good from time to time, but in comparison the need is not quite as urgent as it was for Mallory.

This second pregnancy has been very laid back for me. I am sure it is because I have a two year old at home and I don't really have time to be tired or obsess about every little feeling I am having. I am super excited to meet him and it is nice to not have quite the "nerves" I had the first time around. I am still nervous, and worry about just having a healthy, happy baby - but the pressure is a little "lifted" this time around. What really makes me nervous is having two children, two lives that I am responsible for. I feel like we just got down having one and now we are having two? To me, the best way to think of it is that it keeps life interesting and exciting. New challenges and never ending excitement.

We have tried our best to get Mallory ready for her new little brother, but it is somewhat difficult to explain all this to a two year old. She seems involved and excited, but I am not convinced that things won't go incredibly wrong once he comes into the world and she has seen that he isn't going anywhere and that her spotlight has to be shared. However, for now, she is very excited about her "little brudder" and has started to pet my bare belly and say "hi" to him. She also informed me tonight that on her play set in the yard, the little slide is for her little brother and she gets the "big, big" one. Nice of her to share :) I would have to say above all, her favorite part is her new big girl room. She isn't in it yet, but will be soon and with each minor change we let her go in there and marvel at what has been done. Last time we showed her the paint on the trim she gasped and said "thank you so much Daddy and Mommy." My heart melt a little. I suppose I should enjoy this now because I am not sure how long this sweet disposition will last when he has made his way into the world.

**Also, be aware that we will be forming a new blog for the family once he comes or once I am not too lazy to design one.**
