Belly pics to come soon!
Baby looked great!
We also had the fetal echo done at U of M and the heart looks great! I had 2 different doctors scan me and we told them both that we weren't finding out the sex early. Patrick said the second doctor didn't do a very good job of staying clear of that area! He thinks he knows what we're having! ;p. We go back in January for a follow up echo just to make sure things look ok.
Survey of last few weeks:
How far along? 22ish weeks
Maternity clothes: yes and I bought few more winter tops from Burlington coat factory. They had such cute tops! Wearing all maternity pants now.
Weight gain: up like 12 pounds from 120 to 132
Symptoms: just started getting more aches and hip pain, cramping some. No more headaches!! Food kinda tastes off again. Tired and moody at times.
Size of baby: he or she was around 10 oz at the anatomy scan
Gender: team green! Pat is convinced boy because he thinks he saw stuff during both ultrasounds. We'll see!!
Nursery: our walls are light gray and we'll keep the lavender and yellow stuff if its another girl. If its a boy I will probably do an aviation theme or nautical theme. Colors maybe orange and navy or teal or red, navy and yellow
Cravings: nothing in particular
Sleep: not great but I'm used to it! Haven't slept well in 4 years. Pee a few times, toss and turn. Give Colette milk once in night.
What I'm looking forward to: viability
Advice: enjoy my family of 4 :)
Milestones: over half way!
Amelia update: she is loving writing and practicing reading. She is just growing up way too fast! She is definitely a leader and outgoing. She loves Sunday school and awana on Wednesdays. She is in the 50th % for weight and height and doctor thinks she'll be 5'3 or 5'4 as an adult..which is average female height. She's a great sleeper and has almost been potty trained for a year now day and night. Praying Colette will be easy in that area as well! Amelia still has some tantrums and does whine quite a bit. :) we love her!
Colette update: she was weaned from me at 14 months and has been weaned from her pacifier for a week now. She wakes up once for milk in the night. She is talking more and more and copies most words. She loves playing with sister and wrestling with her. She is in 85th % for weight and 65th % for height. She is slimming down just like Amelia did. She is now running all over and just seems like a big girl and not a baby anymore. She's such a sweetie and so love able. She gives huggies and kisses :).
Thankful for my kiddos and love being a mommy! Trying not to think about the challenges of 3 yet :/. It overwhelms me when I do...day by day and allowing The Lord to work in and through me will be the only way to make it!!!
