Big Brother

 

As many of you know we are expecting another little Parrish in June.  I am finally getting back to blogging so there is so much to update on.  We found out on my birthday we were finally pregnant.  It was such exciting news as we had been hoping for this for sometime now.  We told our parents by having Ethan wear a big brother shirt over to their homes.  It was fun to see their reactions once they finally saw the shirts. 

This pregnancy has been so different than the first.  I was very sick the first trimester.  After about the 13-14 week I started feeling much better.  Having to chase a 3 year old and being pregnant is much harder than I thought.  After some time of adjusting we have finally adjusted.  Initially I thought I would wait till the birth to find out the gender. However, Ethan was very adamant he was getting a sister so we decided we better prepare him for whatever sibling was in his future. 

 

In January we had a gender reveal party so that we could share the news with everyone.  Most of the family and our closest friends were present.  We had a light lunch and then revealed the big news.  Everyone was thinking girl and Mike and I were certain it was a girl.

 Little did we know we were wrong! Baby Parrish is a boy, Abel Christopher.  It was such a surprise for us.  Mike made me go get the paperwork to confirm the bakery was not wrong. 

We are almost 30 weeks.  This pregnancy has flown by.  We are slowly getting Abel's room put together.  Besides being tired this has been a fairly easy pregnancy.  I just learned I do not have gestational diabetes so I am very excited for this.  I have gained a total of 10 lbs so I am happy with those results.  We have a lot to finish up in the next few weeks but I am getting excited to meet this little boy!
