Naptime!

Only for mommy instead of Will. :) Yesterday he was playing in his room right before naptime. I laid down on his bed and pretended to sleep and he looked over at me and said "naptime mommy". He turned the light off and then said "good night, don't let the bed bugs bite!". Then he said "go to sleep, no waking up". I was laughing. The little munchkin listens a little too well I think. He was repeating everything I say back to me!

He then closes the door and leaves the room and I'm not sure what he's doing but I hear him walking around. The entire time he's saying "don't wake up mommy!". About two minutes go by and I say "Will what are you doing?". He replies "checking my e-mail". He was sitting at our computer pretending to check his e-mail! Too funny.

Oh, and we decided on a name.

Gabrielle Yvonne :)

It's a...

GIRL!!!

I'm still so surprised. I thoght for sure it would be a boy. She didn't move around nearly as much as Will did during his u/s and she wouldn't uncross her legs. The tech couldn't really tell and told us she thought it was a girl but only because she didn't really see any boy parts. I was upset because what am I suppose to do with that information? Buy a bunch of pink only to have the baby be a boy? She left to show the radiologist the images and when she came back she said the radiologist wanted to have one more image taken And when she did that the baby opened her legs and we could clearly see no penis! I'm really excited. I wanted a girl so badly, I just didn't want to admit it.

Here she is sucking her thumb!

That last couple of days I've finally been feeling the baby move more. I actually felt the baby pretty early, around 14 weeks, but then there'd be at least a weeks time when I wouldn't feel anything. By 19 weeks I thought for sure I'd be feeling more and just in the last two days it's started. I just felt him/her kick as I'm sitting here at my desk. The baby must like the girl scout cookie I just ate!

Thursday is the big day!

We go in on Thursday at 8:30am to find out if we're on the blue or pink team.

Here is my guess: Pink! We shall see!

Baby update!

I had an app.t yesterday and heard the heartbeat and all is good! I'm only up to 146.5 pounds, so 2.5 total that I've gained. I've been sick for the last few days though so I think I lost a couple of pounds. Man, being sick with a toddler is not fun at all! I can't imagine if I get sick when both of them are here.

At about 10pm last night I had a snack and right after that I felt the baby move a lot! I had my hand on my belly and could even feel the little kids with my hand. The baby must have really liked those fig newtons! Only one more week until we find out if we have a boy or a girl in there!

This morning I was getting ready and was drying my hair. Will was in our room watching TV and came into the bathroom and said he wanted breakfast. I told him to wait two minutes while I finished getting ready. He didn't like that and said "I go downstairs". normally when he does that he'll either play or go sit at the table and just wait for me to come down.

Well this morning I go down there and he has the chair out by the microwave and is in the freezer looking for waffles! I got a plate for him and was going to help him get breakfast but he refused. He got the waffle out all by himself, put it on the plate, put the waffels back in the freezer, got up on the chair, put the waffle in the microwave and even pushed the correct buttons to get it started. The only thing he could do was get the peanut butter down. How on earth did my little baby turn into a big boy who is now making his own breakfast?!
