Thank you all so very much for your super sweet words of encouragement and your well-wishes! We are very excited and cannot believe that in 6 months there will be another little one in this house. Y’all asked a few questions so I thought I’d answer them for you.

How many weeks are you?

I’m 12.5 weeks right now and already have a slight bump. It’s amazing how much earlier I am showing than last time. I’m sure it’s because last time I actually had some stomach muscles to hold the bump down and this time I don’t have a prayer of having even a single stomach muscle to hold down the bump. The bump is out in full force!

When did you find out you were pregnant?

I took a pregnancy test on September 6 and it was positive. I took a few the week before and they were all negative, but then I was late and just knew I had to be pregnant. We had planned to try to get pregnant in either August or September and it happened in August. I was trying to avoid being as big as a house in the South Carolina summer. Thank goodness this baby will be a May baby. I do not do well with the heat!

Are you going to find out the gender?

Yes. We’re supposed to find out in about 4 weeks. Until then, I’m trying not to let my mind think either way. I don’t have any idea right now or any suspicions. I just don’t want to become attached to the idea of a certain gender before we find out for certain. We’re obviously thrilled that we’ll be having a baby and his or her gender doesn’t matter to us at all, even though there are obvious fun things about a boy or a girl!

How are you feeling?

Not great. It’s about like I felt with Hudson, but I haven’t actually gotten sick as many times. I just have a sensitive stomach and always have. I was sick with Hudson for about 24 weeks, so I’m hopefully the sickness with this baby won’t last as long. It’s easier this time because I’m at home and can grab a snack or something to drink to settle my stomach whereas last time I was at work and couldn’t do much about my nausea.

What is your due date?

The official due date is May 15, but we’ll be scheduling a c-section and are looking at May 7 or 8 for the delivery date.

How many times have you been to the doctor?

We went to the doctor at 8 weeks and had a sonogram, so we saw the sweet little baby and saw the little flashing heart beat. We went yesterday for our 12 week appointment and heard the heart beat on the doppler. It took my doctor a long time to find the heart beat because the baby is still so small, but surprisingly I stayed calm until she found it in there! It’s such a precious sound.

I’ll be attempting to do weekly pregnancy updates, which I didn’t really do when I was pregnant with Hudson and I kind of wish I had. It’s just so hard to be consistent with anything these days! My hands are full, full, full!

That’s right! Hudson, his daddy, and I will be welcoming Baby Carroll #2 in early May!

Everyone is excited and baby is healthy!
