I am going to be OUTNUMBERED very soon!!!

Yes, folks, it is official: at the end of August, Whit is going to have a baby BROTHER!!!!! When I was 15.5 weeks along, I went in for an ultrasound to make sure that the cyst on my left ovary had gone away because the size of it at my 8 week ultrasound was a bit worrisome. Luckily, I found out that it had completely disappeared, which was great news. The technician then asked if I wanted to find out the sex of the baby. I was shocked b/c I didn't find out with Whit until I was 20 weeks along. I didn't even know you could tell the gender that early. I asked the technician that question, and she said that if the baby was in a certain position, she could give a very educated guess. Even though Scott was not with me at the appt, I went ahead and told her I wanted to find out b/c I couldn't not know! She told me that she was very confident that it was a boy, but when I went in for another ultrasound at 24 weeks for the full anatomy check, we found out with 100% certainty that we are definitely expecting another little boy! My due date was also changed from September 4 to August 28 b/c apparently, they miscalculated it by one week. We decided to name our new little one Graham Wesley Vasey. Graham is my dad's middle name, and Wesley is Scott's dad's first name, so we went with a family name this time. Graham is one active little boy, I can tell you that! Whit moved around a lot, too, but he was usually active at night when I was lying down. Graham moves around all day, which is always a nice reminder that he is doing well! So far, my pregnancy has been free of any real complications. I had pretty bad morning sickness for the first 17 weeks, and I have recently started having bad heartburn again, but besides that and the usual fatigue, things are going well. It is hard to believe that in 3 short months, Scott and I will have TWO children!! We are getting soooo excited about baby Graham's arrival, but we are also cherishing the time we have with just Whit as well. This Saturday, Scott and I are taking our first ever trip without Whit. I have never been apart from Whit for more than a few hours since he was born, so this will be tough for me, but I am SO excited!!! We are flying to NYC on Saturday morning, and we will return on Tuesday afternoon. Whit is going to be staying with Scott's parents for part of the time and with my parents for the other part, so he will be very spoiled, I'm sure! We are going to see a Broadway play one night, we're going to a Mets game with my cousins who live on Long Island, and we also plan to do a lot of just walking around and enjoying the city! I will tell you all about the big trip when we return, and hopefully, Blogger will be better about letting me post pictures of our adventure!

Oh...CONGRATS!! I am so excited for you two! That is WONDERFUL!! I am yelling a lot here! :) How funny is it that we took our first away time from Kennedy about the same time you guys are. We chose Vegas. I needed to go somewhere grown up and knew I would be nursing another baby soon so we got away. Hope you have a great time!
