Pregnancy a go-go!

It's been quite a while since I did a journal entry. A lot has happened since I last had done one. I am now 23 weeks along in my pregnancy, into which my (current) hubby and I found out that we are having a boy. He is beyond excited he is getting his boy of his own, since my 7 and 5 yr olds are from my ex husband and a marriage that was so far beyond toxic, it was best that we divorced and went our own ways. Yes my current hubby had taken them in, but to him it just isn't the same as having one of his own. We decided on his name after 2 weeks of arguing on names. Baby T's name will be Jaylen Ryan Douglas. Yes he will be named not only after daddy (the hubby) but will be named after his late grandfather (my dad) and take my dad's middle name. I also had a great first year coaching soccer with my 5 yr old son. We had a lot of fun and running up and down the field with the kids, kept me on my toes as we had a very shy little boy who would only come on the field if I held his hand and ran with him. He eventually got used to me not holding his hand and getting onto the field and did it on his own! Such a huge accomplishment for him and me as a coach knowing I helped him get to that point.

Living with my mother in law has been just total heck for me. I feel like I can't be my own person especially around her. We are more constrained and have all ( hubby, me, mother in law) butted heads and have had arguments (some heated because of how she wants things). I just want to move out and be able to be my own person and family without her putting her 2 cents in.

I am currently 23 weeks along in this pregnancy, everything so far is mirroring my pregnancy with my daughter ( 2015). This one little if no symptoms just like my last pregnancy. The placenta is anterior, just like it was with my daughter; which means more painful labor. If I can, I will be talking to my dr about getting the epidural as soon as possible because I couldn't tolerate the pain when I delivered my daughter who was same position. The baby 's head was also measuring 16 cm at 19 weeks 5 days along when I had the ultrasound. I'm concerned as he could be a big boy! One thing for sure, Jaylen wasn't afraid to show his boyhood or his butt! But he didn't want to show his face. What a turkey!

Anyways, it's that time of year to get my 7 and 5 yr olds ready to head back to school. They will start September 1st. I hope to do more journal entries before I have Jaylen but with how crazy my life can get, time will tell.
