Family Update

As most people know by now Rod and I are expecting. This would be my second and Rod's first biological child. We couldn't be more excited. I am about 15 1/2 weeks today so our baby is about the size of an apple. I have started showing a little bit...still in my regular clothes, they are just fitting a little differently. I picked up a couple of Bella Bands this weekend and they are amazing. They are so comfortable and will allow me to wear my regular clothes longer. Our next doctors appointment is November 5th. It will just be a very quick appointment where we get to listen to the heartbeat and answer any questions that we have. I think we are going to take Aidan with us so he can hear the heartbeat and make him feel like he is apart of this as well. We have our next ultrasound December 2nd and that's where we can find out the sex of our baby. I don't really want to find out the gender but Rod is so excited and doesn't think he can wait so we comprimised. We are going to have the technician write down the sex and put it in an envelope. Then we will wrap it and put it under the Christmas tree and that will be our present to one another when we open it on Christmas day. Aidan has been very excited that he is going to be a big brother and not a baby anymore. He goes back and forth from calling the baby his baby brother or baby sister, and promises that he will share his toys. Every so often, I catch him going into the nursery and putting a toy in there. When I asked what he is doing, he says that he is giving it to the baby. I have the sweetest little boy ever!
