Literally you guys are the best like I love you so much. I smile every time I get a notification from you all.

Thank you! :D We’re so excited, I can’t wait to watch him grow up and get to do fun boy things outside in the dirt, I grew up around only boys so I’m excited. His carseat, crib, mattress and a set of sheets are already on the way. We have a 3 bedroom house so we have our room, I have my own room and my husband has his room but I just repainted my room last year so it will be his room after we move some furniture out. The room is a very light gray color but I’m going to pick out a blue color for an accent wall today, I think his room will be mostly gray/white and all of the decor and stuff will be light and dark blue and maybe green for a few things for a pop of color.

I feel like it’s even more real now that we’ve announced. xD A little under two weeks and the name war will begin if we’re able to find out what it is, he doesn’t like my names and I don’t like his so our baby might not have a name until the day we leave the hospital.

Thank you for all of the congratulations! I’m still scared but feel much better knowing the heartbeat is so strong, I have my next ultrasound in 4 weeks and I wish the time would fly by so I can just know that everything will be okay.  I’m so excited because my cousin that I’m very close to is pregnant too, she’s about 3 weeks ahead of me so our babies will be close. I’m due on November 4th but maybe I will go over and have the baby on my grandma’s birthday (November 11th). I hated the doctors I saw last time, they were rude and pushy and I left every appointment upset but I saw someone new this time and I LOVE them. I felt so happy when I left the office because everyone was so nice and made me feel so relaxed, my blood pressure was even under control and that’s amazing for me. So far I’m feeling a lot more positive about this pregnancy, I just had a feeling that something was wrong last time, I’m having nausea every morning and sometimes during the day and other symptoms that I never had last time.  Everything in my life is getting better. Healthy baby (so far), my brother is doing great and better than ever and my dad is walking with help and climbing stairs. Life seems to be getting better and I hope it stays that way, it has been an emotional 7 months.

Thank you! :D  I’m so excited, I’m so scared too. I just want to sleep through the next few weeks, I don’t want to lose another baby and I’m scared that it will happen again. I want everything to be okay, I feel bad because I don’t want to get attached and think about being pregnant until I pass where I was last time, it might just be hormones but I want to cry every time I think about getting my first ultrasound because of what happened at my first one last time.  I’m not completely sure how far along I am either, I think I’m between 4 weeks and 2 days/4 weeks and 6 days, I will be happy if I find out that I’m measuring a few days ahead.  :P 

Thank you @amixofpixels, @astridj68 and @ourlittletree. It’s a weird situation this time because it doesn’t directly affect me since I’m not that close to my uncle but I still am, I cried and have had to hold back tears. This time I’m crying for everyone else, my dad that might lose his brother and lifelong best friend (they’re two years apart), my grandpa that is losing a son and will be the one that has to make that decision and my two cousins that are preparing for a life that might not have their dad in it. My dad is upset and it’s making his blood pressure go up and he’s more at risk for another stroke so I spent some time with him today. I try to stay positive every time life does something like this but it’s getting hard to do, I miss my family being together, my grandma is what kept us all together and okay.
