Lesson we learned - last night!

Last night after eating dinner. Brian & I took K outside to play.
I went in & out a couple of times and on my last trip out I locked us out.

The handle is old and we've been meaning to change it but we just haven't.

Note: we don't hide keys.

We stood outside thinking of ways to get into the house
1. open window somewhere - NO, I check everynight.
2. Brake the glass and fix it once we get in. - Wouldn't break (seriously, we tried everything to break it)
3. Old school - break the door down - again, didn't work
4. we tried a screw driver - still Nothing.
5. Brian got a rock and beat the handle off. - we got in.
An hours later -- were in!

next stop Lowes - new handle.

Lesson: give a key to a family member :) --- everyone will have thier own keys this weekend. And its a pain in the butt to break into your own house.

Anatomy Scan #2 / Johnathon update!!

Johnathon is doing great!!
He is still breech - I'm praying he flips soon.
The U/s tech was able to get all the pictures she needed of his heart.
She went ahead and looked at his other organs, just because she wanted too.
Still a boy and only one :)
He weighs about 1 lbs now and getting bigger.

I started doing my bump pictures (last week - my bad) I'll start posting those weekly.

Plan for this weekend -
pedicure, since I can't really reach anymore.
Get my flat tire fixed
Need to go look for fabric for J's bedding.
Find a bathing suit that looks decent on me

Then sunday is Mothers day!

Busy weekend!! But I need to start being more productive on weekends.

22 weeks & counting

Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.

Your baby has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

We go Friday for our gender U/S & make sure everything is OK.

17 weeks

Your Baby: Week 17
Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

Our family blog

So we have Kayleighs blog and Our family blog.

As of this week I'm 14 weeks & the baby is the size of a Lemon
Your adorable little baby is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

I think every once in awhile I can feel it move around.
Last appt I still hadn't gained any weight. But the nurse couldn't find the heart beat.
That 5 mins seemed like forever. She kept saying "its" moving around to much so I knew not to worry. But I couldn't help it.
So w/the help of the Ultra sound tech we got to see & hear it clear as day.
Still at 158 beats.
I decided I didn't like my OB - so I found another one that my cousins use. He delivers at Memorial in The Woodlands. I didn't like my OB in college station & this time I really want to like the person that is going to deliver my baby.

Next week - I'll be in OKC, Training on the computer program the company uses.
This is going to be hard b/c I have a hard time not seeing Kayleigh daily. But I know she is going to be really busy w/her daddy & grandparents.


Next month I have to start getting everything together for Kayleigh's first b-day.
I can't believe she is almost 1. Where did the time go?
Seems like yesterday the nuse walked into my room and told me that she was sick w/jaundice.
She is perfectly healthy now! Praise God!!!

Anyway, I'm going to add a little to Kayleigh's now.
