Finally some pictures!!

So I haven't had a camera for a while, which is sad because so much has happened around here. I finally scanned in our little baby pictures so you can get a feel for how he's doing and what he may look like. This was little baby at 20 weeks when we had our ultrasound to determine the sex. They are a month old but what can you do? I am still trying to track down the pictures we took at our appointment, so they will be on later.

This was the very end of our ultra sound, and as you can see (hopefully) Its a boy! Justin had it stuck in his head that we were having a girl, and really thought he was right. When he saw this, he was really discouraged at first, but he is very excited to be having another son. I knew the whole time it was a boy but deep down I was with him hoping maybe, just maybe it would be a girl. We're not stopping here, so there's still a chance.

This is his precious profile. I think this one is going to look like me this time. Jack has my skin tone and hair color but looks just like his daddy. For some reason I think this one will have my features and daddy's coloring. (but that's just a guess)

I just love this one and had to throw it in. This is his little foot, for those who can't tell.




I know some of you have been wanting to see a picture of me with the belly, and hopefully soon I will actually take one. Its sad how I haven't taken a belly shot yet. I suck!

24 Weeks Today!

He's just over 1 pound, and a foot long. I can believe that considering he is pushing me from inside out in every direction possible. His brain and lungs are progressing substantially now. His skin is still translucent, but that will change soon. Among other things, his body is growing at the right pace and everything is going great.
I had to take another Glucose test, but I get the results tomorrow. I am pretty sure everything is the same, but who knows.
Last Thursday, I had a dentist appointment to get some cavities filled. Listen to this...
Six months ago, I had great teeth no cavities at all, then two months ago I went in for a semi-annual cleaning, and they said I had seven cavities! Seven Cavities! I must not be eating or drinking something the baby needs, because that is outrageous! So I got those taken care of and on top of that, I had a wisdom tooth that needed to come out, so since I was already numb in that part of my mouth, I just decided to get that taken out that same appointment. So far the recovery isn't too bad but just a little uncomfortable, with only minimal swelling. Yeah! I had some people tell me they had the worst time after getting their wisdom teeth out. Lucky Me I guess!
Well that was my week last week, and I'm hoping that this week will be a piece of cake.
Its a great day outside, so I think we are off to the park. Then tonight, I'm going to make some awesome banana bread! I will put the recipe on tonight or tomorrow if you want to try it. I promise it will become your favorite banana bread!

Happy Sunday!

It's been a while!

So I know I have said I would put up the ultrasound pictures of baby #2, but I just haven't really taken the time to scan everything into the computer yet. I know that's so horrible of me, but I will really do it soon. I need to keep everything updated.
Well, since we found out we are having another boy, not a a lot has changed, other than the fact that I have a little one playing soccer with my insides. Its always nice to have a mover though, because then you are always assured that he is alive and well. Oh and about a week ago, I think I had contractions! I had a doctor visit about a week ago and my doctor asked if I have been feeling contractions yet? I felt something painful for sure. I never had any sort of contraction with Jack so this is almost like my first time being pregnant with some things. I also have been having a ton of pressure down there, which again never felt while pregnant with Jack. So I'm hoping that this one will be a natural birth and not another C-section. I want to feel what its like to be in labor I guess. yes, that sound crazy but I really want the chance to experience that. Anyway, I am 23 weeks right now, so I am more than half way!! Yeah!
a few weeks ago, Justin and I decided to put Jack in his big boy bed, in his big boy room, and give his old room to the baby and make it a play room/nursery. So far its coming along very nicely, and he loves his big boy room.
Oh... Have to go but I will finish this later.

Later

It's a Boy!

We are having a boy! Jack will be having a baby brother! I am actually relieved a little bit, because now Jack will have his little buddy to run around with and do everything together. The third one can be a girl, or should be a girl. Now that would be ideal. We have lots of pictures but don't have the time to put then on right now. I will try tonight when Justin is home to watch our little stinker. Until then have a great day!
