This afternoon we decided to head to the fun little shopping center across the street to play at the splash pad. Elouise was decked out in her suit, hat, and new water shoes, ready to get her summer fun on. As we strolled over the the empty play area, Christian noticed a tiny piece of paper taped to a pole that said three words “Out of Order”.
Believe it or not, this pregnancy is halfway over already. We just had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and I feel like this whole baby thing is finally official. I’ll be honest, it’s mostly due to the fact that I had an irrational fear that our initial gender ultrasound would be proven incorrect at our mid-way scan. I kept imagining having to return all of the sweet baby boy clothes I have been collecting (or hoarding if you ask my husband) and my heart would sink. Well, our sweet ultrasound technician made it very clear that we are in fact having a boy! So now I can finally relax a bit and hope that the rest of this pregnancy will fly by and be super blissful. I mean, a girl can hope!
One of my biggest anxieties when I was pregnant with Elouise was that for some reason or another, I wouldn’t be able to successfully breastfeed her. I know it may seem silly since there’s nothing wrong with bottle feeding, pumping, or formula, I totally believe that fed is best. I had always just had this image of nursing my sweet baby and my heart ached for it to be a reality.
