We are so excited about another little boy joining our family! I know I would have been ecstatic over having a girl or boy but truthfully deep down I really longed for another boy this go around. I can’t wait to see my two boys grow up so close in age side by side. I pray they are best friends from the get go. What an honor and privilege to be able to raise these boys and watch them grow up into strong yet gentle men of God. I can’t think of a better gift to be given.
Randy’s been working so hard trying to get some of our endless list of house projects finished. I’ve never known another man to be so dedicated and hard working for his family. He’s got to get these projects done before hunting season of course…it’s just around the corner!
The past couple of weeks we’ve been working with Trent and swimming. I believe the earlier the better when it comes to teaching them how to swim. He’s comfortable in the water so we are slowly teaching him how to go under and learn to swim to the side for safety. I cannot wait to have a pool at our new home. It was so nice having one while being pregnant with Trent. Every evening after work I would get in the water just to relax and relieve some of that pressure and back pain.
Now starts the process of picking out all things baby: name, nursery décor, lists of what we need/don’t need, organizing…ahhh it’s oh so busy but fun at the same time.
We have so much to look forward to…Trent turns two in August…I can barely fathom the thought of my baby being two years old. I guess we will muster up enough courage to cut his precious curly blonde hair for his birthday. Only just a trim though…I’m not getting rid of that head of beautiful hair!
How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain: Approx 8 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No BUT, Randy did point out a very new symptom of this crazy pregnancy. Varicose veins. He noticed one of my veins popping out of the back of my right leg the other night and was like “OMG you’re getting your Dad’s veins” haha. Just another pregnancy battle wound for this mama I guess.
Sleep: Sleep has been ok…it’s starting to get a tad bit uncomfortable finding a good position to sleep on my side. Speaking of sleep…Trent is doing great sleeping on his own in his room. He cried just a bit the first two nights, but after that nothing. I love going into his room in the morning and the first thing he does is clap his hands and say “yay” to congratulate himself for being such a big boy. It’s the little things…it truly is.
Best moment this week: We’ve had a wonderful couple of weeks after finding out another handsome boy is joining our crazy family. We had fun telling everyone and watching their expressions. I’m convinced those Greene boys just produce boys. I told Randy maybe we need to try for a 3rd to see if that’s true…he just gave me this crazy look.

Miss Anything? No. Everything is moving right along…wouldn’t want it any other way.
Movement: Baby boy is definitely moving around in there. I can’t wait for the movements to pick up and get stronger!
Food cravings: This past weekend I was craving salsa. I made my first home made regular salsa and fruit salsa for our gender reveal get together at Aunt Pat’s. Both were delicious.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No
Gender: Another BOY!
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: My breathlessness has calmed way down…it’s pretty normal now actually. I have no clue what that was that I went through the past few weeks. I guess I’ll just chalk it up to being one of those unexplainable weird pregnancy symptoms and nothing more.
Belly Button in or out? In half way J
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: We are looking forward to fun 4th of July festivities and starting the process of putting your nursery together.
