Baby Fuller

I'm officially 20 weeks (well a little over but close enough) I've been terrible about taking pictures of my growing belly which is REALLY growing. I'm still pretty sick 80% of the time but it's bound to get better eventually.

We also found out what gender this sweet baby is! I had really no intuition either way. Old Wives tales all pointed to girl, Chinese calendar said girl.....enter me panicking thinking how the heck do I be a girl mom, I just sort've figured out how to be a BOY mom. God knew this. Trent was so positive it was a girl that he was trying to prepare me not to cry in the sono room. Now, please know i'd be thrilled with EITHER sex but the thought of something different scared the heck out of me.

The night before our sono I had a dream my first baby dream (finally) of what this little toot was. In my dream he was a little red headed boy! I told Trent as soon as I woke up that I knew finally what it was. Which worried him even more that I was going to be disappointed. So I'm sure you could imagine our surprise when we were in the sono and the tech said "Okay, what do you think you see??" and I practically yelled "ITS A BOY I SEE A BOY...RIGHT?" haha Trent and my sister made her check about 15 times to confirm it was a boy. God knew good and well I couldn't afford the adorable clothing for a girl haha!

So--since I couldn't convince Trent to not find out the sex I did convince him we aren't announcing the name until he's born. Mainly, because before we knew the sex and I was popping off names I got some rude responses on names I truly loved so now everyone can just wait and get at least one surprise out of it. PS Why do people think they get an opinion on what you name your child? Anything other than "oh that's such a sweet name" is not acceptable. I don't care if you don't like it you don't tell the hormonal mother trying to name her precious child the reasons that YOU don't like it. And "Oh that's different" isn't any better. Just hush and tell that momma what a beautiful name and what a beautiful baby it will be. *rant over*

I hadn't felt him move until probably this last week due to where my placenta is. Now I'm feeling him a lot, Trent still hasn't got to feel him. I put a remote on my stomach and just like Sam he tried to kick it off. I also spent all of Sunday finding all of Sam's old baby gear and getting it cleaned up and ready to be stored inside rather than in the attic. I also got his car seat cover in the mail. Sometimes I still feel like I'm jumping the gun doing anything for him even at 20 weeks, I was the same way with Sam. Always just expecting my body to fail us. I'm working on keeping my faith for this sweet boy.

Sam likes to look at my belly, he puts his hand on it and kisses it pretty often. He will be a really great big brother. Poor Braxi probably won't know what hit him!!

A sweet reminder I saw on facebook.

Hope everyone has a great day!
