Baby Makes Four: It's a boy.

Well. It's a boy. I really wanted another girl, so I'm adjusting to the idea of having a boy. I was looking forward to Reese having a sister and being able to reuse her clothes, but on the flip side, this is a great chance for me to do a little retail damage, since we ~~don't~~ didn't own a single gender neutral thing. I know we will love having a baby boy and that this is the perfect plan for our family.

Such a sweet gift from my brother's girlfriend, Marissa.

This boy's wardrobe is coming along, thanks to a sale at Baby Gap. :-) I might have a thing for stripes!

I have a few ideas for the nursery, but I'm going to keep those a secret until we get a few things accomplished. I LOVE designing new rooms, so I am dying to get started!

Biggest Cravings: cranberry juice, cheez-its, fruit, and peanut buster parfaits from DQ
Biggest Food Aversions: none right now! yippee!
Clothes: Maxi dresses, mostly maternity shorts (because they're SO comfortable), and a mix of maternity and regular shirts.
Body: I missed taking an 18 week picture, but there's a huge difference between the 17 week and 19 week pictures. We've both grown a lot in 2 weeks!
Energy/Mood: I'm feeling great! I'm trying to enjoy every minute of sitting cross-legged on the floor, sleeping comfortably, and being able to pick up Reese without having a belly in the way.
Movement: Lots of flutters and kicks. I can tell when he's awake! Elliott can feel him kick now, which is so fun. Can't wait until Reese can feel/see her brother kick as well. Maybe then she'll believe that there's really a baby in there (and not in her tummy)!
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well. Not waking up much at night and getting used to sleeping on my side again.
Best Moment this week: Finalizing some of the room decorating ideas! I'm so excited to start decorating!
Miss Anything? I'm not tolerating the heat as well as I normally do. I'm preferring the air-conditioning these days! :-)
Looking forward to: More shopping for Baby Boy Ybarra!

19 weeks...almost 1/2 way!

Reese isn't sure about this guy!

Flashback photos of when I was pregnant with Reese!

Another flashback of when I was pregnant with Reese.

And here are a few pictures of our son!

Feet! He's going to have big feet like his sister!

Hi mom and dad! I weigh 6 ounces already!

Gotta have a skeleton shot!

It's definitely a boy!

Here's the profile of our baby boy!

And here's the profile of Reese to compare. Do they look like siblings to you?

Reese and I have been having a fabulous summer together. We LOVE going to library story time every week. We have also enjoyed going to parks, seeing all of our friends, going to lots of birthday parties, shopping, taking swimming lessons with our friend Erin, hitting up Sonic Happy Hour several times a week, and playing in our backyard. I love spending this time with her. It is priceless.
