One week from today we have our anatomy scan for baby #2. I do not remember the anticipation being this bad with my son. This pregnancy feels very similar to my last one or better. The second trimester is wonderful since, for the most part, the morning sickness has passed and my appetite is back to normal. I have gained 1 pound so far and I am at 19 weeks. I have had dreams about having a second boy but they could just be my brain remembering the last pregnancy and since having a boy is all I know. My son refers to the baby as his little brother. So the wait continues. Next week I get to fill this box with pink or blue balloons for my son to open. Either way, we are excited to see our little one and hope they are growing big and strong.

| Sister or Brother? Time will tell... |
I realized that since I had to keep this pregnancy a secret for so long I was in some kind of denial or non-acceptance. Part of that meant not taking any pictures of my bump. With my first son, I kept a pregnancy journal documenting each week and all the changes. This time I have done nothing. Is this normal? Is this what its like to be the second child? From here on out, I promise to embrace this experience as I did before. To take pictures, eat better (or try), sing and dance and smile!
