HALF WAY DONE! IT'S A.........................

Can you believe it? We are already 20 weeks along- half way done! Amazing. Even with the semi-challenging first trimester, it has flown by! On Monday, we had our 4 week check up and the 20 week ultrasound and R & S were both there. The baby looked perfect- heart beat was 153 I think. We saw hands, feet, toes, legs, butt oh and yep- a little pee pee.

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!

It was a bit strange for me because I have never found out the sex with my own kids so that was really the first time I saw that on the ultrasound. There is no doubt about it. This little guy was showing off a few times with his legs wide open and it is definitely a boy! Congrats to R & S!!!!! Baby B will be the big brother in May, 9 months apart from this little guy. I am sure they will grow up to be the best of friends like our boys. Of course they will fight like my boys, but when they are apart- they miss each other like crazy.

The rest of the appointment was quick and easy. I have gained about 6 pounds so far and of course woke up this week with a tummy. If I remember tonight, I will take a tummy shot and add it to the blog soon. I imagine it will be only another week or two at the most before I give up on wearing regular clothes and give in to the comfort of maternity clothes full time. Maybe right after Christmas after I eat for days!

Oh and thanks so much again to R & S for the surprise package we received yesterday of Mrs. Fields cookies and brownies. They are absolutely delicious and all 5 of us LOVED IT! Thanks for being so thoughtful and "sweet"!

Here is an early holiday picture of our angels. Not sure when I will blog next with the holidays coming but I will be sure to add a few new pictures soon.

Wish us luck surviving the foot of snow expected tonight through tomorrow! Let's hope my work closes tomorrow!
