And then there were FOUR!!

That's right! Kevin and I are expecting Baby Monahan 2.0 sometime in late February, 2017! We are SO exited. In November of 2015, we decided we would like to grow our family a little more and started trying for another baby. Seven long, long months later we found out we were expecting.

I was at a conference for UConn in early June. I came home that Friday *knowing* that I was pregnant. I could not get home fast enough to take a test with Kevin. We got home and went to dinner with Kevin's mom. As soon as we were able to, we took a test and those two little lines took absolutely no time to pop up!


We took pictures at 4 weeks (obviously) so here's a side by side.

(The picture on the left should say 2012 but I'm too lazy to change it...)

This weekend we told Kevin's parents by giving them a little gift from Declan... even though he has no idea what's going on.




 Today (6/21/16) I hit the 5 week mark and Baby M 2.0 is the size of an apple seed. So teeny!  On to the weekly stats :)

How far along?  5 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I'm starting this pregnancy at 146 (10 lbs above where I started with D), but am in MUCH better shape than 4 years ago!

Maternity Clothes: nope

Stretch Marks: nope

Sleep? It's been a little rough in that I'm up to use the bathroom a few times a night, but I also have a toddler who thinks 3am is "wake up time," so I'm used to running on broken up sleep.

Best moment last week: We found out a little over a week ago, but I'm going to go with that moment. After trying for 7 months, I cried like a baby!

Movement: nope

Food cravings? I wanted brussel sprouts so badly last week. So I got them and have eaten them boiled, roasted, sauteed, and shredded raw. SO GOOD.

Gender: No idea!

What I miss: Wine. I miss my wine. But I would trade the wine for this a million times over.

What I'm looking forward to: Our first ultrasound (probably 8-ish weeks)

Milestones: Finding out!!
