Our sweet little stinker!
Just in case you have been on pins and needles waiting to hear if we are adding another boy or a sweet little girl to our family.... then you are going to have to keep waiting. The sweet little stinker had a hand btw. its legs every time the sono lady checked. We were disappointed, but so thrilled that our little one is healthy and growing well! And it was such a gift to get to see the little one (weighing in at 7 ounces and measuring about 8-9 inches long). Ryan and I both thought this baby's face looks different than DerBear's sono at the same age. We have out next appointment June 2 and we are going to get another sono then! Hopefully our sweet babe will be more cooperative! And until then, we are practicing patience :) and praising God that He knows what we are having and that our baby is healthy!

He just keeps getting cuter!
 |
| February 20- Der's new bath fascination. |
 |
| February 19- This is one of Der's favorite books...He loves it when the giraffe sticks up. He grins and flaps his arms...until we turn the page. |
 |
| February 18- My little boy is growing up quick...he is starting to eat lots of finger foods. Meal time has become much more entertaining watching him try to get the food in the right hole. |
 |
| February 17- His first time to swing...and as you can see he loved it! |
 |
| February 16- Der now loves his exersauser! And I love that he is learning to entertain himself. |
 |
| February 15- This kiddos must have abs of steal as often as he does this balancing leg lift! |
 |
| February 15- This sweet boy also loves to be outside...and eat the grass. |
 |
| February 14- This is Der's love! Phones and the i-touch. |
 |
| February 13- My sweet snuggle bear! |
 |
| February 12- A quick family pic before Family Fun Night! |
 |
| February 11- This boy is all smiles in the tub! |
 |
| February 10- He loves to "steal" daddy's hat! |
 |
| February 9- Cutest kid with a mowhawk I have ever seen! |
 |
| February 8- Der's focus face. Those slick bananas are hard to pinch! |
 |
| February 7- My sweet sleeper. |
 |
| February 6- This is his "charm" move. He throws his head from side to side and knows he is adorable! It is hilarious and super cute! |
 |
| February 5- Its as if he is saying "Look at this cute dude!) |
Pregnancy Update-17 weeks
How Far Along: 17 weeks, 2 days to be exact
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained about 8-9 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: I have pretty much switched over to stretchy pants (as Ryan calls them) and mostly maternity shirts (although most still look like a tent on me).
Gender: We find out tomorrow!!!! I am so excited to find out...do we have everything we need? Or do we need to buy pink?!? Either way, we are going to be so excited! A boy to be best friend's with Der or a sweet girl (which we want one day!) Any predictions? :)
Movement: About a week and a half ago, I felt the first flutters and Ryan was able to feel them too :) So fun!! It's not every day that I feel the little one, but if I am still for a while and relax, then usually the little one wiggles a bit :)
Sleep: Been better! I am finally feeling a little more like myself and not having to nap every day anymore.
Symptoms: Not many.... just the bulge sticking out from my shirt :) No nausea or sleeplessness. I have just been hot (and I know this is only the beginning).
Cravings: Hummm...nothing real strong. But with it getting hotter....cold has been a preference. I finished all the popsicles I bought for Der a few weeks ago when he was sick. And I have been making lemonade and tea several times a week.
Best Moment this week:The sweet mother's day roses and delicious breakfast in bed (homemade apple fritter pancakes), followed by a bath, that I already enjoyed this morning.
Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom! I had no idea (and still don't) how challenging it is to be a mother. I am just beginning to understand all the sacrifices you made for our family! Thank you for being such an excellent example of a mom! Love you!
And happy mother's day to all moms out there!
