Our Little Dakoda!

So as of today, I am 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant with our little BOY Dakoda! We are to expect his arrival around March 10th. We are so excited about bringing him into this world and giving Taylor a little brother to love. I just went to the doctor yesterday, who is the best, and got an ultrasound to check all the organs and development. He is very healthy looking, all parts intact and perfect! Can you see the five toes?

I have been feeling him move since I was only 15 weeks. Jake and Taylor have been able to feel him move for a few weeks now. A few times they have also been able to see him move. It is so much fun. Taylor always talks about "baby Coda" in mommy's belly. And I am sure Daddy is proud its a boy. We are just so happy that so far Dakoda is growing as he should and very active which is always a good sign.

Okay, I am also really excited about the fact that this time around we get to have a boy! So now we have one of each...which Jake thinks is a good excuse to stop. Mostly kidding. But we both know that most likely there is more than just these 2 precious souls out there waiting for us.

The pregnancy has been good and going by quickly. Was nauseous early on but fortunate to keep things down, except for a couple times. Now I am just struggling with pinched nerves in my lower back causing pain and itching in my buttocks. Going to the chiropractor regularly but still no sign of relief. I am coming to accept the fact that some people suffer sickness during their whole pregnancy and I get to have an itchy stingy butt. Laughter is the best medicine right?..it is when you can't take the heavy stuff that works! :)

Keeping a positive attitude and enjoying every moment I can right now! I also can't wait to see what our little Dakoda will look like. Will he look anything like Taylor? She's got the blond hair blue eyes. Or will he take after Daddy and get brown eyes and brown hair!!! The suspense is growing stronger! One thing I know for sure is that I think he is cute already, especially when I got to see his little profile!

I am so blessed with the opportunity to bring children into this world and grateful for good health to do so. And very grateful for Jake's hard work and effort that allows us to have a wonderful home to live in and allows me to be at home with our children! I can't wait to post again when Dakoda arrives!
