We bounced around a few boy names, but
really settled on Levi a few weeks ago. We've always said the middle
name would be Mark (my father's middle name) for our next boy. Dean
(Brady's middle name) is Eric's father's middle name. I told Eric
last night, “If we have another boy, his middle name will be your
middle name, Wayne. Do you like that?” He said, “Yeah, but I'm
not sure how I feel about you talking about baby #3?!” LOL. I think
Eric is leaning more and more towards being done after 2. But, I say
there's no reason to decide on that right now. We have plenty of time
;)
Our appointment went really well. We
got to see the baby move A LOT! He was all over the place! The
technician called him an Olympic swimmer and a contortionist. She said he was so wiggly and she had to keep chasing him :) We watched him curl up
and play with his toes. He wiggled his toes and then reached out and
tickled them with his fingers. It was so funny and just cool. After
she did all the measuring, she moved to his bottom and we instantly
saw BOY. I saw his little legs out and boy parts clearly
inbetween! :) Exactly what I saw with Brady. Eric and I both knew
before she said anything. We were both stunned. But I know we
would've been either way. It was just surreal to finally know.
When Eric got home, he brought in blue
balloons and we filled Brady's room with them. We let him in to play
with them. That was our way of telling him he's getting a little
brother. For now, I don't think he really understands it all. He will
say “boy” and he points to my belly and says “baby”. But, I
wouldn't say he fully grasps what's coming :)
We have a lot on our to do list now.
I'm trying to pace myself, but I can't seem to fight the urge to get
it all done now. We've got a crib, and the bedding is ordered. I
guess that's pretty good for 20 weeks. Haha. We've got to go through
the spare room and get rid of things and turn it into the nursery. I
also want to go through each room of this house and get things
cleaned out and organized. We will move 5 months after having Levi,
so we may as well just do it now! No need to hang on to things we
don't need or use.
Perfect example of how I know Brady is going to be an excellent big brother...
He dropped his "kruck" the other day while playing. He said, "Uh oh! Are you ok?" He picked up the truck, hugged it, patted it on the back, and said "You're ok." Sweetest. Boy. Ever.
I am so happy you are having another boy and I love his name. Love you so much <3
