A Blog for the New Baby!

Ok, so I have to start with how bad I feel that it’s been so long since I’ve updated the blog.  We’re 31 weeks along in our pregnancy and the only blog this new baby has had is a small mention at the end of Annabelle’s last blog that she’s going to be a big sister.  For those who may have only looked at the pictures of her last blog, this may be new news to you. 

We’ve had a lot going on these last 5 months.  We purchased a new home.  We’ll new to us.  It needed (and still needs) some remodeling and TLC.  Mason has been working really hard on scraping popcorn ceilings, knocking down walls, remodeling bathrooms, texturing, painting, trimming, etc, etc, etc.  It gets a little better every day.  Hopefully it will be complete by the time the new baby is here.

Anyway, it’s been crazy with the remodeling, moving, work and taking care of a toddler.  So I hope one day the new baby will understand and forgive me for being a little behind this time around.

So enough with how busy we are, here’s the scoop on the new baby!  We did a cake party again like we did with Annabelle.  The cake party was at the end of February.  Can you guess what we’re having…

That’s right, this time it’s a boy!  Since Annabelle’s name was from my side of the family, we decided to pick this baby’s name from Mason’s side of the family.  His name will be Blake Steven Sargent.  Blake is Mason’s Grandmother’s maiden name and Steven was Mason’s Dad’s name. 

The doctor says Blake is on his way to being an 8lb baby.  I have to say, this time around it feels like he’s going to be more like 20lbs.  This pregnancy is much harder than the first one was.  My doctor says it’s because I can’t rest as much as I could with the first since I have a toddler to chase around. 

Because we’ve just moved into our new home, we haven’t really done much with Blake’s room yet.  Annabelle started sleeping in her big girl bed last weekend, so he now has the crib in his room and I bought him some curtains, but that’s about it so far. 

Here’s Blake’s latest ultrasound picture.  His head is in the top right hand corner of the picture and his feet are just to the left of his head.  Yep, he’s folded in half.  I don’t see how that could be comfortable.

Since I had a c-section with Annabelle, the doctor wants to do another c-section with Blake.  That is scheduled for July 19^th.  So unless he decides to come early, that will be his Birthday. 

Well, that’s all I have for news on the Baby front.  Hope you enjoyed this latest blog post.  I’ll try not to go too long next time.
