I’m about 16 weeks along in my pregnancy. As such, the doctor offered a quick ultrasound peek to see whether a couple of dresses or a few more black eyes were in our future.
Welp:
It’s another boy. Number five. If half our kids had a higher potential height, we’d have a basketball team.
So far, they seem bent on Lord of the Flies mixed with Hunger Games -but- that’s childhood, right?
I’m up and past bleeding but still have “morning” sickness all day, every day. The baby’s heart rate and measurements look great every time. For now, we’re expecting him to be surgically removed from my abdominal cavity near the start of December.
I’m glad baby is healthy and you can get up and around, but dang…. so sorry about nausea!! 😢

Fingers crossed and pass the pickles. The pickles are for me, don’t hog. 😉
Hope the nausea slows down soon. I really feel men should go through nine months of this via VR.

Every monthly cycle and every pregnancy I tell my husband that next time’s his turn. 🙂
Pickles are tasty even when I’m not pregnant.

Congrats to the lucky boy! Of course it would’ve been congrats to the lucky girl if that’s the way it went! My g-grandmother had eleven boys in a row before having a girl – so keep at it!!

Congratulations Chelsea! Have they given a date in December? My youngest son was a Christmas baby. He was born during a 100 year blizzard that shut Denver, CO down! Maybe that’s why he’s been stormy ever since…
