Pre Fall Finds // On Sale

First, let me just say thank you for all of your amazing comments and excitement over finding out Baby Schue #2's gender.  It really makes me that much more excited to hear your stories about brotherly bonds and the joys that two siblings of the same sex bring.  So thanks for reconfirming many of the things that we were already looking forward to with two!  And as I said before...let the craziness begin!  ;)

On a different note...Happy {long} Labor Day Weekend!  If you're like me, you have probably started receiving emails about all the mega sales going on this weekend.  I thought I would highlight some of the fun finds I've been spotting...I'm sure there's more sales to come this weekend...

We're Having A...

BOY!!!

That's right...Ethan is going to have a brother!  

And we've gone through all the range of emotions...from finding out with a XY blood test result {which was confusing to say the least} to seeing the business for ourselves yesterday...

Yep, there is no question that we've got a boy on our hands!  ;)

Boy or girl, I know we're in for a whole new adventure.  I can't even say that we're having "another" boy because this next child will certainly be his own little person.  I keep thinking...what will this little guy be like?  Will he have curly hair like Ethan?  Perhaps look more like his mama??  ;)  Will he have the same temperament?  And like to dance?   And follow his big brother around like crazy?  There will be so many fun times ahead and what better place to raise to young boys than Tahoe?

And of course, you know I will have my way with matching outfits {ok, at least matching holiday jammies!}.  And there's hide and go seek in the meadow, Dads and Lads spring training trips, matching Batman bandaids, camping adventures in the backyard, and so much more.  

So let the nursery plans officially begin {you didn't think I wouldn't redo the nursery, did you?} and of course matching holiday sets too!  ;)

19 Weeks // Gender Reveal this Week!

How far along? 19 Weeks {first 19 week update}

Baby Size: A mango

Total weight gain/loss: 5+ pounds...I've not been paying as close attention this time.

Maternity clothes? Just more maxi dresses.  My jeans officially don't zip or button, but the belly band does wonders!

Stretch marks? Good for now.

Sleep: A pillow is officially between my legs for extra back support.  But still sleeping really hard.  And having lots of crazy dreams!

Best moment this week: My work promotion!  ;)  And celebrating with my sis-in-law.

Miss Anything? Caffeine at any time.  I've been majorly craving diet coke/pepsi this time around {I know...not great}.

Movement: Lots of kicks, especially in the evening.  I'm even feeling it from the outside.  Just ready for Ryan to feel them now.

Food cravings: OMG, fried chicken thanks to Natalie's Charleston post!  I have may have tried to replicate the Boxcar chicken sandwich last night.  YUM!!!

Gender prediction: We officially find out today!!

Looking forward to: Seeing my baby on the U/S today!!

Differences this time around: I feel like I'm in the groove now...it's all very familiar between the kicks, the purple splotches I get on my chest {happened with Ethan too}, and just the way I'm carrying.  Definitely starting to feel the pangs of excitement about what this next baby will bring to our lives!

Our Weekend in 3

This weekend started off pretty terrifically...I was announced publisher of the paper I've been working at for the last six years.  //  I celebrated my brother's fiance's bachelorette party.  //  And we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the park.  

Being five months pregnant, I would say that it was a pretty good weekend overall!  ;)

How was your weekend?
