The Wait is Over!!!!!

We made it to our 20 week ultrasound. You will be happy to know that we will be having a Little Boy come August. We are looking forward to his arrival and choosing a name for him. When we were pregnant with Riley we were not able to agree on a boy's name. I guess we have lots of time to think of a name. We will keep you all posted with names we like. I know you all want to see some images of this new little boy, so here they are.

Here he is!

Side profile with his arms bent and reaching for his toes.

He looks like he is dancing.

Here is a front picture. You can see his face with eyes closed and his

two little hands right under his chin. He seemed to be happy. It

looks like he is smiling.

Here you can see his side profile with his left arm up by his face.

This is a picture of the baby's feet. He had his legs crossed at the ankles.

APPOINTMENTS

Riley went to her 2 year physical and ear check up appointment today. She is growing like a normal two year old. She is 30lbs. and 33 inches tall. We are going to go and see an ENT (ears, nose, throat) doctor with in the next couple of weeks. She is still having lots of fluid behind her eardrums and Dr. Henry does not want this to cause issues for her later. From what he can see she is hearing and her speech development is right on target. We will wait and speak to the ENT doctor and learn more from there. She is very independent and is talking more and more everyday. She loves the fact that she is going to be a BIG sister. She has made the BIG move to the next class at daycare and is in the 2/3 class. Riley is learning more then she needs to know from this class. Some of her learning are not the best but she is learning some great things too.

Next Thrusday March 29 is our well awaited ultrasound. I will have pictures of the growing belly and hopefully of the baby on Thrusday. We did have a scare today. I went the ER with some spotting. I was nervous and scared but I was checked and everything is OK and everything sounded great. The heartbeat was strong and everything is growing ok accoring to the doctor I saw. We will learn more in a week.

17 WEEKS

We have 3 weeks before we go for our ultrasound to learn the sex of our baby. Here a of picture of me and my little belly. Let me know what you think. BOY or GIRL??? Pictures are not my favorite right now and Ben is not good at taking them. Hopefully he will learn one day. This baby acts a lot different then Riley did. First of all "he" is sitting lower and "he" is not as active as Riley. I am also A LOT smaller now then I was at this point with Riley. The only things that I can remember being the same are back pains and my breast beening tender. Other then that everything is very different. But you decided for yourself.

LIFE CHANGING CHOICES

Ben and I have made the choice to go and buy a house. We have found the one we liked and have made an offer. We have also found out that we will be home owners in the next couple of months. We found a house that is three bedrooms, two baths, and a gargage. There are some changes that we are already planning to make to the kitchen and the laundry room doors need to be updated. We look forward to having a place that we can say is ours. It will be nice to be able to paint the kids rooms any color that I want and the rest of the house too. Living under someone else that has not been possible. Lots of changes are going to be happening in the next few months.

At the end of this month we will find out the sex of our unborn child. March 29th at 1:30 centeral time we will be having our ultrasound done. Hopefully this baby will be like Riley and show us. I know that every child is different and it already shows through this pregnancy too. I am not as BIG as I was with Riley and this baby seems to be a night child. This I don't like because Riley and I are both morning people. We will have to change this child to be a morning person too.

Look for more updates on the house and the baby later.
