JET III

So, We are 20 weeks into the 2nd pregnancy. Emily has been feeling much better, besides her little baby bump, she is the same Emily: cleaning every day, mowing the yard, running, boxing, then cleaning again. And running around with Jackson. 

Up until 19 weeks, it really had not sank in that we are going to have another baby, especially having 2 kids under 18 months. With Jackson, as our friends know, we took a weekly picture, blogged our feelings, video of putting the nursery together, etc etc. With JET III, the picture to the left, was our first picture. 

 I think part of that is that until 2 weeks ago, Emily was not really showing. We have all the baby stuff we need, so we don't have to prepare like we did with Jackson. So, for me, the first 18 weeks was the was the same as the previous 18 weeks before we got pregnant. 

I first started to get excited when we sat in the ultra sound room looking at the pictures and finding out it was a boy. It was no secret that Emily & I wanted a little girl, but having 2 boys, to me, is going to be a blast! For one, it makes everything cheaper! We have all the clothes, shoes, etc. Just have to figure out a name. 

We have been tossing around names quite a bit over the past 2 weeks, nothing has seemed to stick quite  yet. There is still discussion to wait until he is born and then decide, but honestly, I don't think Emily will be able to survive that long without having a name locked in. Here are some of the front runners.

Jackson is a ball full of energy, as any parent will remember 14-24 month stage. I don't know how Emily stays home with him all day. He wears me out for the 2 hours I chase him around the house. But, what an absolute blast to be around him though. Just watching him change and figure stuff out. Being a Father is one the best and most rewarding things I have ever done, and I am only 14 months in. I might be singing a different tune when he is a teenager. 

So, half way through. Ours lives take another big turn and gets even more hectic, but if anyone can handle it with a smile, I think it is the Tyler's! We live for hectic, and a fast pace schedule, just throw in a few naps and we are up for the challenge.

A big question that we have been asked: Are you going to try for a girl? Way too early to tell. Not sure if we want 3 boys. Maybe we will just adopt a 12 month old girl. Just by pass the late night feedings, and just skip to the good stage. Only time will tell what changes will be brought about in the Tyler household.

Keep on Keeping on friends! 

It's never to early to start cleaning!
