I havent really written much on here since week 14! Things have been great. I am feeling much more symptoms with this one then I did with my daughter. I feel good but lately getting swelling in left leg, back pain, and a pain on top of my belly that is like bruising or something. I still get sick every now and then but I'm glad I am past the all day every day sickness like in the first trimester!

My daughter is so excited about being a big sister! I started a journal at home where I will say things to the baby and record my doctor's appts and weight. Well, I picked it up the other day and my husband wrote a little note in there too! So sweet. So my daughter decided she wanted to put a note in there and she wrote how excited she is to see him and how cute and handsome he will be. :) She is the perfect daughter. This one is a little boy and we are thrilled! We are naming him Xavier. I just can't wait to meet my son. My baby shower is at the end of this month and I can't wait. I know it will be fun and I just want to see what items we will get to prepare for little Xavier.

I hoping to do this naturally with no drugs. We will see though!! I watch The Baby Story on TLC and sometimes I get really motivated about natural childbirth and sometimes (like this morning) I see one that was very difficult and I get really scared!! But I'm leaving the epi as an option. :)
