21 weeks

21 weeks down, 19 to go...hopefully! I've been feeling pretty good. I began running again. I am now doing about a mile 3 times a week along with some strength training, and my yoga/pilates/tai chi classes. I feel GREAT physically.

The baby is really low....meaning really pressing on my bladder. If I remember correctly, I carried Cooper pretty high for the majority of the pregnancy. Oh the differences.

Cooper is doing great. He's almost 2! I think we are on the edge of getting 2 yr molars which I'm not too thrilled about. I'm actually dreading the molars, although I will be happy if they can come in before the baby arrives. He is learning his colors and knows almost ALL of his animal sounds. It's great to watch him put together his puzzles so quickly and know that he continues to learn.

We've entered into some tantrums and fits. He really is my strong willed child. We are trying to have an open mind and really keep learning as we go and not become TOO frustrated....oh it is hard though!

Sonogram @ Week 20!

We're 20 weeks along with Smith Baby #2 and man am I showing! It's very true that you show faster with baby #2 than you do with your first kiddo.

After debating over the subject of finding out the sex of the baby or not, we decided it would be best to find out. ALTHOUGH, the one thing we wanted was for it to memorable, and it was. Since we actually knew the person doing the ultra sound (Randell's Mom), we were able to enjoy the experience very much. We are 90% sure that Smith Baby #2 is a GIRL!!! We are glad we found out so that I can buy all the pink things in the world.

The baby is moving a lot these days. Sleep is interrupted frequently with trips to the bathroom. Cooper loves giving the baby kisses and saying "I Love You", which is the sweetest thing in the world.
