Baby Boy Beckham Round Two

We are expecting another baby boy on Christmas Day! Hooray! And we're halfway there. I am 19 weeks (as of yesterday) and everything is going great. I can't believe I have a baby due exactly on Christmas Day. And we know exactly the due date, so no budging there. But you better believe that I'm going to do my best to get this baby here before then.

Graydon and his brother will be just over 2.5 years apart. I'm so excited that he'll have a brother and I really wanted a boy next. Now how do we guarantee a girl for #3? I know that's impossible, and I actually have the feeling that I'll be a mom of all boys...just securing my role as Queen of the Household...it's all apart of my secret plan.

Here is my 19 week belly. The photo log begins (along with personal cringing). I'm growing my hair out to try to enjoy the benefits of pregnancy, but the heat is making it hard. I'll hopefully have enough to donate again when I most definitely chop it off right after this baby is born.

Graydon showing me his baby in his belly button. He had to take this picture having seeing me do mine.
I'm feeling good at this point; just tired and the typical pregnancy complaints. I am having a hard time with not being able to run and do races and with watching my body change (who doesn't have a hard time with that?). I'm still exercising, but not running just because of the impact. It's not worth the risk and we've worked hard to keep Baby Boy Two healthy! So I told X that this is "his summer" and he should pack in as many races as possible. So he's keeping the training alive in the Beckham house.
Stay tuned for Baby Boy Two's debut in December, as far from Christmas Day as we can get!!
