It's a ???

Tomorrow is the big ultrasound!! I am 19 weeks along and the doctor said that they'll be able to tell the gender of our baby at this point. I am so excited I can't stand it! When I was pregnant with Robert, this ultrasound was a big deal because it was the start of our family. We got to find out the gender of our oldest child. Tomorrow's ultrasound is a bigger deal for me though. Not only do we get to find out the gender our second child, but we'll also get to see if Robert will have a baby brother or baby sister. We've taught him both words so we're ready either way!!

I took this picture the morning I took the pregnancy test! We are so excited to have another baby!!

I've thought it was a boy from day one. Who knows? With Robert, I had no clue. This pregnancy has felt just like my first- wonderful! The only way I feel different from my usual self is that I'm hungry all the time and sometimes tired, but who doesn't feel hungry and tired at times? I love being pregnant and watching my tummy grow knowing that there's a little life in there who is half me and half Brian. It's so amazing, it's hard to believe sometimes!!


Baby Conway 2 at 10 weeks. Boy or girl??? 
I told my kiddos at school that we're finding out the gender tomorrow. All of the boys hope it's a boy and all of the girls hope it's a girl (go figure). After they tell me what gender they hope it is, most kids then ask what we're going to name the baby. Several of my students have asked me to name the baby after them! Haha- you gotta love kids!! As for baby names, here what Brian and I are thinking:

Boy Names
We knew we wanted to name our first son after Brian's dad. Robert Joseph is Brian's dad's first name and my dad's middle name. If we have another son, we'll name him Thomas Michael. Thomas is my dad's first name and Michael is Brian's dad's middle name.

Girl Names
We're not 100% sure about a girl's name yet. I really like the idea of naming a girl a name with C as the first letter because I think that would sound really cute with Conway. So far, we like Colleen, Catherine, and Claire. We're not sure on the first name yet. Her middle name would be Marie for sure though.

Well, that's it for now. I'll keep you posted about tomorrow!! I would love for Robert to have a little brother to rough and tumble with, but I would love to have a little girl just so I can have a girl. Boy or girl- it's going to be great!
