How do you put into words the feelings of seeing your baby before actually 'seeing your baby'? The ultrasounds today are unbelievable. Just look at that little face. Baby sure will change a lot before the day we get to meet but, it is so nice to see and hear that everything is growing just the way it should! Big brother Ely came along for this appointment. He tried talking us into finding out if he had a brother on the way but, we resisted the temptation.
Sweet baby, we love you more than words can express.
Baby weighs = 10oz.
Fluids were visible in stomach and bladder. Both kidneys were located.
Loved watching and hearing baby's heart working = 149 beats per minute.
Fingers, toes, spine, legs, brain, etc. all perfect!
Everything with Mommy is going great as well! Such a relief. No restrictions. Feeling more than blessed these days.
We are ready to start on the baby's room.
Love,
Jen, Philly, Ely, and Baby
Goodbye May... Hello June!
May has always proved to be one of the busiest months of the year for our household. Here are some of the highlights of May 2012.
Ely preformed with his break dance class in his first recital.
We made it to two of Amaya's games in Avon, IN. So glad we got to see our girl play right field, short stop, center field, and pitcher.
Philly coached Ely's baseball team this year! Coach Richason and Elyjah Houston.
We hit our 16 week mark in this pregnancy journey. I'm feeling great!
We took a day off from cleaning, unpacking, ball practice, and from town to have some fun at Kenray Lake.
While we were swimming this crazy looking lake monster emerged from the water!
And this mermaid was found sitting on our deck.
Watermelon...
roasted marshmallows...
and silly smiles made this day just what we all needed. Family filled fun.
Goodness, I guess we wore this one out!
We made it to couple graduation parties. One for Phil's niece Casey Robertson and another for my dear friend Darcy's son, Maxwell Randolph (Bedford North Lawrence High School.) I guess I was caught up in the moment and didn't remember to snap some photos.
Welcome June!
I am off work for the summer! I am super excited to spend time with the kids before the new little one comes along.
Phil has been very busy removing bushes from the perimeter of our house. Now the stumps have to be removed.
Much better! He cut down around 20 bushes...probably more.
We are preparing to have a pool installed, our porch restored, and our gutter redone. Huge undertakings for one summer but this is what we have been waiting for and no better time to create a "home!" We just can't wait to see the end results.
We are still busy organizing and shifting things around from room to room. I can't believe that we have been in our new home for five and a half months already. We are loving every minute of it. I have to admit that I can get a bit overwhelmed thinking about adding a baby to it but I would trade or change any of this. Some people refer to their life situations as their 'luck'. We prefer to say that we are very blessed! And we count our blessing each and every day.
And we have reach the half way point of growing baby!! YIPPEE!
5 months along now.
Our ultrasound is scheduled for Thursday, June 21st at 9:30am. We still are not planning to find out if baby is a boy or a girl. If we change our minds we will inform all of you right away!
Next post? After ultrasound. We will put our sweet little one's photos up for you to view ASAP after the appointment Thursday.
Until then,
Love and laughter,
Jen
