My kiddos

Yes I said kiddos, there are two of them now! I can’t believe this the first time I’ve talked about it on the blog, but I’m happy to share that Henry will be big brother in July.  To save you the math, that puts baby-to-be at a gestational age of 19 weeks. Which means, next week we find out if we’re welcoming another baby boy or a girl, and I cannot wait!

Obviously that means I’m a little behind on posting the week-by-week baby progress like I did with the little man, but I’m a busy momma now. I still know how big the baby is – this week he or she is the size of a large tomato – and I know that my tomato can start to hear me now and may have hair already, I just don’t seem to have the time to write about it. But I’m pretty sure it has no impact on bonding with this new baby or how he or she will turn out.

As for my first baby, I’m amazed at how fast he is growing up right before my eyes. He is talking nonstop and singing more all the time, and this weekend he completely surprised me by counting. While holding his hands and swinging him in the air “on the count of three” he decided to count to three along with me and then continued all the way to ten. I immediately called Tim to see if he had taught him the counting and he thinks it must have been Grandma, or Elmo. (Evidently daddy only teaches him to count in Spanish.) I know we’ve counted with him before, but its not like we’ve been practicing, so it just took me by surprise. I’m so proud of my little boy.

I can’t wait to see how Henry continues to grow and what he is like as a big brother. It has been an amazing experience being mommy to one, and I’m so excited for twice the fun and happiness.
