On Friday last week we had our BIG ultrasound and found out that we are having another baby boy! We are super excited that Frankie is going to have a little buddy to grow up with. I think that Frank really thought we were having a little girl, so he was absolutely THRILLED when the ultrasound tech told us it was a boy. Everything looked great at the ultrasound, but they want to do another one in 4 weeks so that they can get a better measurement of the baby's heart. It will be nice to be able to confirm that the baby is still, in fact, a boy. We are pretty close to deciding on the name, but we are not 100% sure yet.
In other news..in the last few weeks, Frankie has really been clingy. He cries almost every day that I drop him off at day care, and he often cries when I put him to sleep at night. Yesterday he did not take a nap at day care, which is VERY unusual for him. He has also been having some pretty massive temper tantrums lately, and I am wondering if all of these issues are manifesting as a result of his anxiety about the new baby. I talked to his teachers about it briefly this week, and they said it is very common for toddlers to have a strong reaction to a new pregnancy. It breaks my heart that he is already acting this way, and I hope that it is a phase and not a sign of what's to come once the new baby arrives.
