It's another BOY!!!

Well, it is officially another boy on the way! If you read the earlier posts, I wrote about how we thought we saw something on the 11 week ultrasound that looked like a boy, but they weren't allowed to officially tell us that early, so this time it was confirmed for sure. So we weren't totally surprised since we already knew! We scanned the ultrasound pictures, but once they are scanned they get fuzzy and just don't look the same. And they look pretty much the same as Cameron's ultrasound pictures, and every other baby out there! Joe said the baby's profile looks just like Cameron's did, and the ultrasound lady said, "Sorry to tell you, but they all look the same at 20 weeks!"
Well, we thought we were 20 weeks, but the ultrasound said we are really over 21 weeks along (which is what I thought originally, which puts the due date Thanksgiving weekend). Everything on the ultrasound looked very healthy, and the baby was laying sideways (which is the same thing Cameron was doing in his ultrasound, and he eventually flipped head down so I am not worried). The little guy weighs 15 oz which sounds so funny, but that's right where he should be at this point. Some of the pictures from the ultrasound show the baby's legs stretched out straight which was funny. He has a lot of room in there right now but not for long! My last appointment went well, and I have gained 10 pounds which is right where I should be. People keep telling me I look small, but I know I am right on track, and I know very soon I am going to start popping out big time!

Everything else has been going well, Cameron has been keeping us busy as usual. Every day is a new adventure with him, and he is starting to enter the terrible twos already (and he doesn't turn 2 for 2 1/2 months). But for the most part he is a really good boy and makes us laugh every day. Joe burped the other day, and Cameron said, "Bless you!" He is already saying 3 word phrases. I love that he can talk so much and tell me what he wants, but it is also hard when he asks for "yogurt raisins" about 50 times a day!

He loves babies, but I don't think he understands that this baby that is coming is staying forever! That will be very interesting, since he is used to having Momma's attention 24/7. Well, we will see how it goes in about 19 weeks or so!

Cabin








We spent a week at the Biller's cabin this year for our vacation. It was great! Cameron loved the boat (he kept saying "boat fun"), swimming in the lake, playing with his cousin Lila, playing with Bubba (the dog), fishing with Daddy, and eating lots of good food (like "asanya" for lasagna) and sweets (like "chockit cake") all thanks to Joe's Mom! Joe and I had a nice time relaxing. Oh, and it was REALLY hard to pick out my favorite pictures, since we took 354! We obviously love our new camera.

We didn't really take any belly pics. People have been telling me I don't even look pregnant, but I think they are crazy. But it has been harder to gain weight this pregnancy since I am running around after a very active toddler all day long! I have my next appointment on Friday. I have been feeling the baby kick more every week, and Joe even felt the baby kick last week! Next Wednesday is the ultrasound to find out the sex (which we think is a boy, but this will confirm), and to make sure everything is healthy.
