We’re preggo!!

Coming July 2018! Yup, we’re preggo!! We’re currently 15 weeks pregnant and pretty excited since we’re pretty sure it will be our last, unless temptation kicks in after a few years…dun dun dun. No just kidding, we think we’re done. When hubs and I first started talking about family planning many years ago we agreed on 4 kids. Well more me than him…if it were up to him we would have 10 kids! YIKES!! But the original plan was two kids back to back then a break then two more back to back.

The idea to try again so soon was mainly hubs! After talking about it for a few months we just decided to go for it and would try until the end of 2017. We found out we were pregnant only a few weeks after moving into our new home. The timing just couldn’t have been better!

I decided to take the whole fam to my first prenatal appointment in December. The boys got to see the ultrasound, where Sebastian immediately understood there’s a baby in mommy’s tummy. He told the doctor “Lets get it out!” HA! it was totally cute. Since then, Sebastian totally adores me even more! He rubs and kisses my belly and even feeds me so that baby can get bigger and come out. He’s actually a bit overkill…if I sit and sigh he immediately asks what’s wrong. He makes me sit and take a break with him so that we can cuddle and he can rub and kiss my belly. At bed time he kisses my belly two times and whispers “See you in the morning my baby!” It’s all super cute and we can already see all his excitement in having a new baby.

Alex doesn’t quite understand it all yet. We fear he may struggle with a new baby since he is very attached to me. Big time mamas boy indeed!! It already looks like we/I will need to ensure he gets his quality time with me. He currently pushes hubs or Sebastian away from me when they get close, so hopefully he reacts better with baby. A friend suggested I get him a doll and I may just do that to see how he does.

I pretty much slept through my entire first trimester. That pregnancy fatigue was no joke! I seriously couldn’t wait for nap time. I only experienced “morning sickness” twice and immediately started feeling better after my doctor changed my prenatal vitamins. Before my first prenatal appointment I just had no appetite and felt neausous more often than I liked.

Now, in my second trimester, I am starting to feel like myself again. I’m still working out and running…well more like huffing and puffing my way through it but it still counts. HA! But it’s a good thing because suddenly I’m craving everything and everything! I am definitely keeping up with my pre-pregnancy lifestyle, since it has worked wonders for me in how I look and feel BUT I am having slip-ups and I am sooooo not sorry for them.

We find out the sex of our baby in the beginning of March and we can not wait to find out. Having a baby girl is my dream but of course a healthy baby is the ultimate blessing. Another boy means more love for mama and possible temptation for a baby #4. AHH!! A girl means daddy is in trouble and may possibly go broke. Either way we are beyond excited and to keep it real a bit nervous. Nervous to be a mama of 3 and trying to juggle it all as a stay at home mom. I keep reminding myself of how fast they grow and how temporary the struggles really are. At the end of any day, rough or pleasant, counting my blessings makes it all come together.

We can’t wait to welcome baby Villa 3 and in the meantime will indulge my pregnancy and the love our family is already showing. Baby Villa is already so loved as we anxiously wait to meet him/her!!
