I've had such strong feelings my entire pregnancy that it was a boy. This pregnancy has been so similar to Campbells, especially my first trimester. I know that doesn't necessarily even mean anything but I felt like it did for me. Early in my pregnancy, I went in for an ultrasound at 10 weeks, 5 days to check on the baby. I was especially looking forward to it because I had gone in for an ultrasound with Campbell at 10 weeks, 5 days as well and I was anxious to compare the two babies. This baby's heart rate came in at 160 and he measured at 11 weeks, 1 day. When I did that same ultrasound with Campbell, his heart rate was 161 and he measured at 11 weeks, 1 day!!! Isn't that crazy? We started calling this baby Campbell Jr. after that. I also had a dream my first trimester that I was in my playroom hugging a little boy who was about 1.5 and had a full head of super blonde hair. When I was hugging him, I had this deep unbelievable feeling of love, just like the love I have for Campbell. I woke up from my dream and told Scott we were having a boy. I'll remember that dream for as long as I live. It felt so real.
Of course I wanted to have a girl and it's possible that I've cried a few
We've been going back and forth but I ordered something with a name monogrammed on it this week so I guess that made it official. We're going to call this little man Bennett (middle name still unknown) Johnson.
I am so excited for Campbell to have a brother!!! I know they are going to be best friends for the rest of their lives and that makes my heart so happy. Campbell is going to be such a wonderful big brother and I know Bennett is going to look up to him so much. I have already had way too much fun buying coordinating and matching outfits for them. Yep, I'm totally going to be "that" mom. I am so curious to know if they will look alike or not. I kind of hope they do!! We are so grateful that we have another healthy little baby boy and we can't wait to meet him!
Congrats and I see even more cars and trucks in your future. That's awesome and I like his unique name. Cheers to be rest of your pregnancy being smooth!
