*****************WARNING*********************
The following post contains graphic and probably inappropriate info to share on a blog, but it cracked me up yesterday and I had to share.
I am now almost 5 months pregnant and, well, let's just say that my stomach isn't the only thing on the front of my body that is expanding. In fact, I think the change in the size of my tummy is less noticeable at this point than the change in other things. The following conversations occurred last night while we were sitting on the couch.
Me: (Actually somewhat annoyed by these things that I'm not used to, can be a hassle, and get in my way) Why are my b***s so big with this pregnancy??? I'm only 5 months pregnant and haven't even started nursing yet?!?!
J: Because God loves me
Such a quick, but perfect nutshell view into the male mind. As if any of us doubted that in the first place :)!

It's a .............
BOY!!!!!!!!
That's right, when we bring our additional member of the family into the world in June, it will be a boy. I was fairly shocked and also quite excited to hear the news. I was somewhat suprised. This pregnancy has been so similar to my first one with Av, that part of me was thinking it was probably another girl. Show's how much I know. J was almost floating as we left the Dr's office yesterday. Every time we have asked Av if she was going to have a brother or a sister, she always responded "sister!" So I wasn't sure how she would react, but she has been excited and telling anyone that will listen that she is going to have a brother.
We are incredibly thankful that baby boy Leonard and I are doing well and seem to be healthy. We are also thankful that we will get to experience having a daughter and a son. I know that I have much to learn about the world of little boys. We have become so accustomed to the life of dress-up and princesses and now we will have to add trucks and dinosaurs. Do any of you with boys have pearls of wisdom you would like to share?

Land of the Living
Hello all. I know, I know...I keep making worthless promises of not blogging so infrequently. I will be 18 weeks pregnant in a matter of days and most of the "can I just stay in my bed and sleep until the baby is here?" days are gone. I have returned to a semi-normal level of functioning and the nausea and vomiting has also passed for the most part. I have found that I have an incredibly active child inside me. Av began practicing karate and gymnastics in the womb, and I thought this child might be different, but apparently it doesn't want to be outdone by it's older sister. I have my ultrasound next Weds. to possibly find out if we will have pink or blue balloons on our door in June. Av is quite adamant that she's going to have a sister, but--shout out to the Stickler's--her name will be John Martin. My brother and sister-in-law are trying to convince us that we should wait to find out what it is until the birth, but I just don't know if I can do that. Any thoughts?
I would love to give recent pictures, but the only things that have consistently been on my priority list lately are eating, sleeping, and bathing myself and child at least once a week-kidding, at least twice a week :). The other problem is that most of our belongings are still in storage and what we do have accessible is not highly organized...so finding the camera, battery, battery charger, and USB cord to download pictures can be challenging.
I do have lots to update you on, especially about Av--for one thing, she turned 3 in the interim since my last post, but that will have to wait for a future post. Hope to be posting more frequently, buy I'm not making any promises. Would love to hear how all of you are doing.
