I couldn't be more excited about this next phase in my life, becoming a mom of two. Two days after I quit my job, we found out that I was pregnant with baby Pearce number 2 and we couldn't have been happier! Having a new baby and the timing of everything with me quitting my job couldn't have been more awesome. I am SO glad I quit my job too because the first trimester was pretty brutal and I remember working while sick with Gianna and it was absolutely the worst. Being sick is no fun but being sick while you force a smile and fake good customer service is another thing altogether. So it was definitely awesome to get to stay home through that.
We found out that we are due on January 6th so that makes me 18 weeks now and close to half way through. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has already gone by! Gianna definitely helps keep me busy and when people say that it goes by faster when your chasing around another little one they aren't kidding!
Last week was Daniel's 30th birthday and I surprised him by scheduling an appointment to find out the sex of the baby. He LOVED the surprise! But the biggest surprise was when he heard the word "penis" come out of the techs mouth. Daniel was absolutely certain that we were having another girl so it was fun to watch his jaw drop to the ground when he found out he was having a son.
We were both okay with whatever the sex was going to be and certain that regardless, this was our last baby. But how awesome is it that we get to experience having a boy and a girl! Its a whole new world for me because my family is flooded with girls! In fact I haven't even ever baby sat a boy baby oddly enough so needless to say it will be a new experience.
A few weeks before we found out the sex of the baby, I ran across the name Jensen in an article I was reading and fell in love! I told Daniel, that's it! I love it, the search is over! He agreed that he loved it too but said what if its a girl? I said, well it can't be now because I love that name so thank goodness because I would have been a little sad to say good bye to that name and honestly the thought of finding a girl name was so daunting! I didn't love anything I came across. So, Jensen James it is! (James is Daniel's middle name, his grandfathers name and my dad's name.)
Everyone kept telling me that its not as fun to buy boy stuff and what not but I can't get enough of it already....probably because I already got to do the pink and bows and still do. This is a whole different kind of fun and so far I love it! Gianna on the other hand, not so much! She is excited for Baby Jensen, as she calls him and loves to say that he is hers already but she also insists its a "girl baby" because boys are "not nice." I'm certain someday she will be grateful that she doesn't have to share her daddy with another girl because she is the ultimate daddy's girl for sure.
What can I say? Life is good and getting better by the day. Now in my second trimester I am feeling great and loving having so many other girlfriends being pregnant alongside me too! Our group of friends have so many kids for Gianna and now Jensen to play with which is so awesome and makes get togethers a blast!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious for January though....if you know me well you know I am not the best pregnant person. I love having kids but if the stork really did just drop them off one morning that would be the icing on the cake for me! But in the meantime I am enjoying the prepping and planning for a new little one to join our now growing family of almost 4. I really couldn't be happier than I am right now.
Until next time,
Busy B
