A baby brother

We had our ultrasound a few weeks ago and found out our baby is definitely a boy. Kaya and I were a little surprised since we had assumed from day 1 that we were getting a little sister. We have no idea what to call baby boy since it appears that Ella Sheep is no longer a fitting name. Kaya has come up with some fantastic alternatives including Humpty Dumpty, Otter and Shower Tank.

The baby looks healthy and we are excited for his arrival. It is still quite a long way away and Kaya ( and mom) is getting anxious. It's been one of the longest 23 weeks of my life filled with throwing up, nausea, grouchiness, random mood swings, unbearable cravings, dizziness, nausea and more throwing up. After 12 weeks with Kaya, I was feeling pretty good but no such luck this time.

I had this idealistic dream that I was going to have a healthy, happy pregnancy and eat all the right things, exercise right and run a half-marathon at 20 weeks. Unfortunately, I must have completely forgotten what it was like to be pregnant.

I'm sorry for all the misery this pregnancy has caused you. Wish I could help you. I'm sure Baby Boy will bring lots of joy, adventure and love into you and Kaya's lives to make up for it.
