ethansmom Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 BOY!!!I meant to post weeks ago but we are in the middle of moving again and I have had no time to do anything. We've also had another wonderful stomach flu passing around here (two different ones, I think) and the time is flying. But I just wanted to share our news, I am 24 weeks now and we found out at 21 weeks we are having another little guy. I was secretly hoping for a girl, but the moment I saw him sucking his little thumb on the sonogram my heart melted all over again. I am really enjoying pregnancy and feeling normal again- we even went to Disney World for Valentine's Day and I walked around all day- this was really a dream of mine that I NEVER thought would happen. I like to share these things because everyone needs to know that there is hope! I am nervous about the postpartum adjustment again, but am trying to keep the faith that everything will be alright. in the meantime I will just enjoy good health and settling into our new house!! We are officially moving in next weekend, whew!! I hope you are all doing well- I was sad to hear about Emily still being sick, I wish her the very very best and miss talking to her!! Take care everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Girl Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 CONGRATULATIONS! I have two boys (17 years apart) and love both of them dearly. Such exciting news--and a move on top of it. It's so refreshing to hear happy stories. Best wishes, Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hey that's really nice news--and you get the extra bonus of feeling wonderful for a while.

calypso Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 There's nothing better than a pair of troublemakers! You can dress them in silly matching outfits and such now.I am so glad the reason we don't hear from you much is that you are feeling better and living well. Good for you -- you certainly deserve it. And don't get too far ahead of yourself on the postpartum thing. Maybe this time will be different ... instead of getting sick again, you'll feel even BETTER than ever!If this one goes well, you can always have a little girl later, too. You have the blessing of plenty of good childbearing years left.Keep us posted.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a healthy little boy on the way...how exciting for you all! Enjoy this time and don't worry what tomorrow may bring. Are you staying in Tampa?

Gena Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Jessica,It's nice to see you posting again. I was wondering how you were doing. Glad to know you're out of the first trimester blues. Best wishes to you and your family - congrats on your forthcoming little boy. You will definitely have your hands full! I'm sure that Ethan will love having a little brother. Who knows, maybe you'll get this whole pregnancy thing down pat, and try again later for a little girl???

corina Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hi Jessica,wow, another boy. I have two boys as well and they like to do boys things together like playing football and talking about it, watching Formula 1, playing tennis. They like to play with their race track and are fans of the same football team. And you'll find out how sweet boys treat their mothers Glad to hear your doing fine. Keep enjoying your pregnancy!!!Corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelle Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Congrats!!!! I have two boys too (19, 17). There is nothing like the bond between a mother and her son(s). They will enjoy each others company too and grow close over the years-in between the fights Danelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I too have two boys! I always say "god in her wisdom sent me two boys" Actually, I don't think I had the energy it would have taken to get girls through the teen years!My guys were physically "easy" once they got to around 8 and today they are such good friends and brothers to each other.I think your children will grow up with the most wonderful friendship! Even though there will be differences they will share so much! ...not because they are boys, but because you are a nurturing and caring mother!The days will pass quickly now. Before you know it he'll be here!Don't wear yourself out Jessica!warm wishes, tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
