Happy May! Less than a week and baby Sebastien will officially join the Richard-Mui family. This second pregnancy has been relatively mild, much like my pregnancy with Chloe. No complaints – no morning sickness, no appetite change, no swelling of face/hands/feet. But he is definitely WAY bigger than Chloe. Last week he weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces whereas Chloe was born at an even 6 pounds. I think he’ll probably be a few ounces over 7 pounds when he is officially born. The other major difference between this pregnancy and the first was that Chloe sat underneath her placenta while Sebastien is sitting on top of his placenta. As such, I feel a TON more movement with Sebastien and actually, partially through the pregnancy I started calling him Lionel Messi junior because he would just kick the crap out of me for 15 straight minutes. Laurent didn’t believe me and I would put his hand on my stomach and we would count Sebastien’s consecutive kicks which always ran up to somewhere between 20-40 kicks. Here’s a quick video on some of his active movements, the first two are on the left hand side and the last two are on the right hand side – see if you can spot them!

Looking into our archives, we’ve got over 700 pictures of Miss Chloe in the last fifteen months. It makes me wonder whether in the next year or so, we’ll maintain that CRAZY count or if it will be more because I’ll be busy snapping pictures of both my kiddies. Only time will tell. In the meantime, here are a few updated shots of Chloe.
