It's a BOY!


At 16 weeks and three days pregnant 12 lb weight loss and 11 lb regain, we found out IT'S A BOY!! Elias is so excited to have a baby brother. I am excited the morning sickness is finally getting better. Little Adolf is due in the middle of April, I started calling him this because he is due April 20 which is Adolf Hitler's birthday. He has also reeked pure havoc on mommy's tummy. My symptoms have been very awful this pregnancy compared to how easy Elias's was. I lost 12lbs in the first month and a half from "morning sickness" that last all day and get worse when I am tired or my schedule is off due to working nights. All is headed uphill now, we have figured out that my TSH, thyroid, levels have been low counting for the exhaustion and partly the sickness. I have started taking synthroid and can now handle prenatal vitamins! YAHOO! I was a little sad to find out that all the morning sickness was not caused by a girl, but Elias's screaming when he found out he was getting a lil' bro made me way excited! Now we just need to figure out a name so any suggestions are welcome.

Elias was a "scary spider" for Halloween. He picked out this costume because it was the most scary and that is what halloween is all about according to him. We went out trick or treating with his cousins and had a hard time getting him out of the leaves to go to the door and get candy! He is all boy, more interested in getting dirty and playing than candy!
