The Villoria Family: August 2016

Baby #2 is Due February 21st!

And.....

It's another BOY!

I found out at only 4 weeks this time, on the day before Father's Day. It was perfect timing because I got to surprise Jason on Father's Day that he was about to become a father of two! I couldn't have planned that if I tried. This also means we've been keeping this secret for 10 weeks now! We just found out we're having another boy yesterday. I'm not going to lie, we were both hoping for a girl but I'm sure Hudson is going to love having a baby brother!

It's different the second time around! I've been much sicker this time (why I thought it was a girl). And having a two year old running around means I'm focusing much less on being pregnant and more on our crazy busy life. My body feels different this time too. It clearly remembers being pregnant and jumped right into pregnancy mode from day 1! I slipped into maternity clothes MUCH sooner this time around. I think that's maybe mostly because this time I just want to be comfortable. I'm still doing my best to hide it, but my days are numbered. I'm sure my coworkers are either speculating behind my back or concerned I've developed a cake addiction :) I do love cake though...

I am in full nesting mode! Last time around I had to wait until about 20 weeks when we finally got a house. This time, I'm diving right in! We've started converting the upstairs loft into a 4th bedroom and added a storage closet under our stairs. Both projects are underway and will be for a little while. It takes a while to get things done on the weekends, especially when you have a two year old to entertain at the same time. It's more of a tag team effort rather than a joint effort this time around. I love all the change/ improvements though!

4th bedroom... coming soon!

Enough about us... HUDSON! Over the years I've had a few people tell me two is the best age. I didn't believe them though, because so far every age has been the best age. It is just so awesome to see them change and grow at every stage. But.... two really is the BEST age! I love having a two year old! He has really started talking so much lately and it is so cute and fun to hear the things he has to say. It's also incredible how much he seems to learn from week to week. He is just so sweet. We are so so lucky!

Hudson is still doing swimming lessons and LOVES the pool! He will spend ALL day in the pool at Grandma & Grandpa's house when we're there. He's doing great at swim lessons, able to float on his back for 10 seconds by himself and learning to push off a wall and swim with his head down in the water unassisted. He loves to jump of the diving board! Again, and again, and again...

He's definitely not spoiled when he goes to Grandma & Grandpas! They just got him a few pool toys...

He also still loves to build! Everyday he builds "houses" out of blocks or legos, or whatever else he can find. We have cut up 2x4s in the backyard he will sit and play with for hours sometimes.

He also LOVES to climb! He loves the park, and has mastered climbing up everything there. He loves to climb rocks or walls or furniture, or the outside of the stairs :-/ I pray daily that there are no hospital visits in our future!

We love every moment with this little boy! I can't even image what it will be like adding another one to the mix. I'm sure it'll be hard, and exhausting, and amazing and wonderful and a whole lot more in between! I'll keep you posted!
