IT's a BOy!!!!!!!!!

This morning I had my BIG ultrasound, as they call it. I went in thinking that the crazy little baby inside me was going to be stubborn and not share with us the big news...BUT, he was not only willing, but he was not camera shy either!! Yep, it's a boy!! We got to see him lounging with his hands behind his head (just like Riah does), then a somewhat different quality that I have not seen Riah share...sucking his thumb. So cute! I am super excited, I was secretly hoping for another BOY :) Guess we'll have to try again for a girl sometime down the road, hopefully a good long road until I can get used to having 2!! I really can't wait. What a blessing!

Pregnancy for dummies.

I am currently 17 weeks along. Its been fun to compare our baby every week to a fruit or vegetable. It's nice that the pregnancy websites explain your growing baby in "laymans" terms. Like were not spacey and scatterbrained enough! Today I had to envision a turnip as the approximate weight of my baby right now. This was right after i went to top off my coffee this morning, yet insteadtook my cup to the fridge and began filling up with water from the filter. Fortunately my one cup of coffee was not ruined. :) To all the baby websites out there who understand....thanks, 5 ounces will do just fine.

16 weeks 6 days

Mile Stone this week. My already "outie" belly button is beginning its popping stage. This is huge!

Something familiar.

Believe it or not, our baby is now the size of an avacado! Approximately 4 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 ounces. They say your suppose to gain 12-15 pounds this trimester.(I've already gained 12) ALOT of growth going on!

15 weeks 5 days...

So, I have made it into my second trimester. Things seem to be moving along these days fairly quickly considering in a month I will be halfway there!! At the end of this month I find out the sex of the baby. I know its a boy, but we'll see! As of now, Jesse and I like the name Caleb Timothy Banks (if its a boy of course :). Just thought I would log a quick pic of my progress. I never did in my first pregnancy and wanted to try it this time around to watch how I grow!
