Must be a big deal to post a need like a babysitter on a blog- we think so- that is when
BABY THOMPSON #2 is due to arrive! Yep- surprise!!! We are expecting a Fall Baby! We are on cloud 9 and eager to see Jonah as a big brother. We had our first sonogram and the "pumpkin seed" was already in place with a strong heartbeat. There is only one- Rick verified two times to make sure! Since we've been down this road only once, we did learn from our first time, so let's hit it:
Q- Will we find out the sex?
A- NO- we didn't the first time and it was fine- actually I think it bothers others more than us
Q- Were you "trying"?
A- Not sure why people ask this as if the answer will determine if they are happy for us or not- so our answer is - we learned a long time ago not to interfere or question God's plan
Q- Do you want a boy or a girl?
A- healthy is our request. Based on the relationship I have with my mom, the one my mom had with her mom, I would love to have a daughter to pass down that tradition. That being said- based on the relationship I have with my sister and how close we are, I'm sure is related to that we are both the same sex and I would love for Jonah to have that with a brother. And plus seeing Rick and his brother makes true too.
Q- How are you feeling?
A- hungry and tired- good things!
Q- Do you have names already?
A- Thanks for thinking we're that prepared - we didn't even have final names when Jonah was born. We just wait til the Birth Day arrives and take it from there.
Q- Will I deliver natural or c-section?
A- since Jonah ended up being delivered 12 hours after labor via c-section, this one will bypass the 12 hours and head straight to c-section
Q- Will this be your last one?
A- who knows!
We are overjoyed and so excited in this new journey. I am starting my 9th week and many more to go. I am already marking my spot in our pool - I figure being 6 months pregnant in the Texas summer is the best place to be morning, noon and night! This year marks our 10 year anniversary (10.21) and I told Rick I wanted to do something very special this year- he delivered - celebrating 10 years with the person you love while expanding our family! Thank you for your prayers and support!
Our boy sure does LOVE being outside! Always wanting to ride (his car), play ball, net (shoot hoops) run, sand (for sand table), dog (look over fence at neighbors dog) or mower (for his lawn mower). Ahh the life of a toddler-- where you live for being outside all day long!
We had a great visit from our cousins and Aunt from San Antonio. It sure it nice to have a quick visit, share some stories, make new memories (aka blackmail stories) and have good laughs.
Had my 12 week check up and all is good! Although, they couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat (which sounds startling, but since I am so early along they weren't too scared) and sent me to do an emergency sonogram. Baby is all in there chilling on it's back moving it's legs and arms with a strong heartbeat.
