I am 20 weeks pregnant today with our second baby, whom we just found out is a boy! Tyson and I are pretty excited, mostly because the ultrasound showed everything to be normal and healthy at this point. This will be the 2nd grandson on the Walker side (with 9 granddaughters) so Tyson's father is excited that at least one more grandchild will carry on the Walker name.
We're pretty sure we are going to name this baby "Jaxon Tyson Walker". I will most likely end up calling him "Jax", (for now though I call him my "baby jax") and Tyson will probably call him "J.T".
Jaxon is due on July 22nd--- so he will be exactly 2 years younger than Elise. Tyson, Elise and I also have July birthdays- we'll just have to plan on lots of partying in our family during July.
I'm over the worst of my morning sickness--- but I definitely am not feeling great. I still have nauseated days-- sigh. I also pay the price every time I eat anything sweet, so I am sticking to my high protein, low sugar pregnancy diet. Yet, with Elise I never even felt this well all 9 months, so I'm feeling blessed in that way.
Quick morning sickness story: One day, I had to go throw up with such little notice, that I didn't have time to shut the bathroom door. So, Elise came running in behind me. She saw what I was doing and got EXCITED!! Throwing up over the toilet looked like so much fun to her toddler mind, I guess. She quickly came over to me, and opened her mouth over the toilet in an effort to throw up like her mom! Are you kidding me?! Some day Elise will realize just how gross the whole experience is, but for now, she thought it was the most fun game ever. She thought it was so fun that when I finally flushed the toilet, she started crying because our game had ended. . . .
To add to it, the next day she did the same thing again-- this time she tried to shove me over since I was taking up too much room in front of the toilet. I never thought I'd have such an enthusiastic audience to my morning sickness hurls. Needless to say, I managed to get the door closed for the rest of my throwing up incidents-- for the sake of both of us!
