Growing baby

Preston is growing 3 weeks ahead of schedule. He looks happy and healthy. 

I passed the gestational diabetes test with flying colors!

Impromptu Pic

The kids are missing daddy while he's in Ohio for work. They talk to him every day and can't wait for him to return home. Today we took an impromptu photo and sent it to daddy. 

And yesterday (12/19/11)  marked the half way point in my pregnancy. 20 weeks down 20 to go. 

It's a............

BOY!

We have a healthy and very active baby boy! He was moving during the entire ultrasound. So fun to watch him stretch, open his mouth and move his limbs. 

We bought a couple shirts on the way home and put them in a multi-colored gift bag. The kids got to open it when we got home. Everyone is really happy! 

Big Boy Shoes

Corbin got his first pair of big-boy-shoes. Until now, he's only worn slippers. He's having more trouble walking in them, but he's starting to get the hang of it. They sure are cute. 

To find out or not to find out.....

....That is the question. 

As the ultrasound date approaches, we are still undecided if we want to know baby's gender ahead of time, or let it be a birthday surprise. We keep going back and forth. Glad we still have some time to decide. 

Today is Morgan's 10th birthday. Hard to believe, as it is every year on this day. Feeling sad for Melaina, who lost her sister and best friend. Feeling sad that the other kids didn't get to know her. 

As always, wishing she were here, but glad she is there.
