Half Way There!

20 Weeks!

Since I already posted about the Ultrasound, here are the pictures that I said I would put up. I ended up taking a picture of the picture, so they aren't amazing quality, but still pretty awesome!
Above: Profile - This one didn't come out very good because of the awkward position he was in at the time of the Ultrasound.


This is one of my very favorites! His little spine! It is so amazing that you can see every single little vertebrate! Technology is incredible!


This one the nurse really liked, I personally don't think it is extremely fascinating. Kinda gives you the general idea of how he is positioned . . . kinda. This is a picture of the tip of his head with his hands curled up close to the sides of his head.


This is my other Favorite! His little legs are crossed! You can see his feet, his shins, his knees, his thighs, and his lower waist. Pretty awesome!


Last but not least his little foot! During the ultrasound we could see him kicking, it was so neat!

The Ultrasound was amazing! I wish we could do another everyday until he is born! It is so neat to actually see him! It was also neat to see that the ultrasound was an important part of the examination of the fetus. I was amazed at the things she could see and measured. She took pictures of his Brain tissue and could tell that everything is going well. She measured the size of his head, and then made the comment, "Wow! That's a big head!" Not really the words I wanted to hear as I think about delivery, but it means he is healthy which is great! She even measured the size/length of his bones and his waist. It was all so wonderful and fascinating! So the Ultrasound really isn't just to make the parents happy, it is important for monitoring development, but I'm so glad we get to reap the benefits of it as well.

Where are you taking your belly pictures? IF its at your house you have tons of craft stuff..
I loved the ultra sound pictures my fav is of his legs.. so sweet.
My sister Jac had two doctors for her twin pregnancy her reg. doctor and a high risk doctor. She met every 2 weeks with the high risk one and every 3 weeks for her regular. She was always at the doctors or on her way to the doctors. It was fun for us the family to see the pictures but for her having to go the appointment were difficult especially towards the end. Are you coming home anytime soon?

Ryan was taking this extra-curricular ultrasound class while I was pregnant, and there was equipment open to the use of the students. So Ryan gave me a couple more ultrasounds later on in the pregnancy and it was SO much fun!! I think seeing the baby is such a blast, and makes it seem so real! There really IS a baby boy inside of you!! How fun!! :) PS***you are super cute!!! Love the preggo pics! :)

That is so exciting that you are having a little boy. Your ultrasound pictures are so much fun. Aren't babies such a miracle. I found your blog through Suzy's. I just love the blogging world so I can stay in touch with everyone.

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
