It's A Boy!

Javen is going to have a baby brother!

(Sonogram photos coming soon. I have to go somewhere to get them scanned into digital in order to put them up here.)

It's A Frog!

Swimming at Grandpa and Grandma McDaniel's house with Dad and playing with a real frog!

Listen closely for the first 10 seconds of the video for Javen to excitedly say "It's a frog!"

Milk Buddies

Nothing like a nice cold sippy cup of milk on the couch with your best friends...

Shootin' the breeze with best bud, Brody.

18 Weeks

My friend, Katie, came up with this clever little update "tool" for a week by week account of pregnancy. I won't be updating every week (obviously...it took me this long to even do one post) but since I haven't really posted anything about baby #2 since the announcement, I thought I'd give you all an update.

Due date: January 6, 2010

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: No idea. I don't look at the scale at the OB's office. I figure if I'm gaining too much or not enough, they'll let me know.

Maternity clothes? Regular pants/shorts are too tight and maternity are too big. Trying to wear dresses and sweat pant type clothing as much as possible right now.

Sleep:  Is hard to come by. I can never get comfortable and when I do fall asleep I have crazy dreams about made up holiday's (Armus Day) or most recently being in a music video for Rascal Flatts.

Best moment this week:  Not feeling any more nausea! On a different note, I now get daily migraines. Not fun.

Movement: I felt the baby move for the first time on July 27, but no movement big enough to feel from the outside yet. Jake will have to wait a few more weeks to get kicked.

Food cravings: None. Not much of an appetite lately. I've been eating various cereals for dinner mostly.

Belly button in or out? Still looks like a normal in belly button. I'm barely showing at all.

What I miss: Sleep

What I am looking forward to: The sonogram is only 13 days away. Then we find out if it's a boy or girl!

What I am NOT looking forward to: Trying to sleep tonight and getting up every few hours to pee.

Weekly Wisdom: Nap at all possible times. Which at this point in my life is almost never. :)

Ice Cream?

Lessons learned at lunch today:

I asked Javen if he wanted any ice cubes in his water and he replied:

"Ice Cream!!! Yeah!!!"

Except it sounds more like, "I ceem!!! Yeah!!"

Needless to say, the ice water he received in response was a little bit of a let down. (It helped that the sippy cup made a good noise when he shook it though.)

Also, rye bread apparently tastes better when there is a giant hole in the middle of it. Go figure.

(And in case you were wondering, YES, I did feed him more than just bread and water for lunch today.)
