FINALLY!

Our house is finally underway! We got so delayed by all that rain about a month ago, but we are cruisin now!!!

We have a slab!

Frame it up!

Even since these pictures, they've completed the framing - roof & all. So fun!!!

We used to be 95% sure...

..that we were having a girl, but now we're 100% sure we are having a

GIRL!

The sonogram tech flashed this image up on the screen...

...and having already seen this before with Kate there was no DOUBT that we are having a girl :) (Yes, I put this picture up - much to my brother's embarrassment!)

We got to get a good look at the rest of her too - and everything measured out great! She weighs right at 1lb 4oz, which is where the tech said she should be. Here are a few pictures from her photo shoot today...

3D with her hands up by her face - they have been up by her face every time we've had a sonogram!

this one has both arms & a leg across the bottom

Now on to fun things like picking out new bedding, decorating a nursery (in my head, you know since the daughter I have now sleeps in a closet!), and dreaming of matching little girl Christmas dresses!

Baby #2's name...coming soon!

More "Yasses!"

I was getting some embroidery done this week (another post to come!), so I had Veggie Tales on for Kate while I was working. I walked back into the living room at one point to check on her an this is what I found...

SO GLAD my camera was right there to capture that one. I guess she had found my sunglasses & decided to wear them while watching her movie :)

Animal Sounds

Kate & I were looking at a animal book this week & talking about all the different sounds. We got to the bunny & I showed her that a bunny scrunches up it's nose. Cracks us up!!!

"Whoa-ties"

The first few times we swam with Kate this summer she was CRAAAZY! We decided to give floaties a try in hopes she would actually stay above water. Well, thankfully it worked & she wears them. In fact, she LOVES THEM!

She brings them to me all the time & asks me to put them on. "Whoa-ties...on?" She looks hilarious trying to read books, watching videos, & playing with toys with them on. I finally had to make her take them off to eat - she could barely reach around them to get the food in her mouth! Don't worry though, we put them right back on.

I love this crazy girl :)

Little Swimmer!

Kate has been cracking us up lately as her personality continues to develop! Thought I'd share a few pictures & videos over the next few days to show you!

Almost every time we're in the pool she asks for the "yasses" (glasses). She loves to wear them, but I think she looks hilarious!

22 Weeks

I promise as soon as I can find my camera, I'll start posting about something other than this pregnancy!

So weird that I've only got less than 18 weeks left!!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 22 Weeks

Size of baby: 11 inches from head to heel - and 1 pound!
Maternity Clothes: Still a mix - all maternity pants

Gender: 95% sure it's a girl - waiting on our next sono "just to be sure"

Movement: This baby is a mover! I LOVE IT! David definitely felt her this week AND I saw my belly move when she kicked.

Food Cravings: fast food hamburgers - I can't tell you the last time I ate one of these before the past week. I generally do not even like them & always opt for chicken at fast food!
What I miss: having energy

Sleep: sleep is getting messed up again - bathroom breaks, weird dreams, uncomfortable

Symptoms: round ligament pain, back pain, heartburn, Braxton Hicks contractions - ALREADY!!!

Best Moment this week: feeling stronger movements - my favorite thing about being pregnant!
What I am looking forward to: 4D sonogram on Monday!
