15 weeks

As of yesterday I am 15 weeks pregnant. I went to the specialist today, and they did a pretty thorough ultrasound. The doctor didn't want to give me a definite on the gender since it is still so early, but there was a guess. :) I'll wait until the 2nd for my next appointment to make sure the guess was right. I'll tell ya then.

Baby did weigh in at 4 ounces. I went to babycenter, and looked up the normal weight of baby at 15 weeks, and it said 2 1/2 ounces. Whoa! This is another big baby!!!

I did start feeling baby movement yesterday. Such a fun feeling, but it makes me a little sick to my stomach. I'm hoping the morning sickness (all day) will be fading soon. I have had a couple of great days recently. Trin informed us that if the baby is a boy he will be Sam, and if it is a girl it will be Sarah. I told her those would be really nice names when she has her own babies! :)

Here is a little peek of #4. Look at the crossed legs!!! So cute, and crazy at the same time!!! Both big and little Casey lay with there legs/feet in the same position. :)

Busy Week

We have a busy and exciting week ahead!!!

-Appt with perinatologist tomorrow. Casey will see #4 via ultrasound for the first time.
-Mom comes in town on Wednesday.
-Friday is Trinity's 3rd birthday, and mine and Casey's 14th wedding anniversary! WOW!!

*Trin's bday will consist of going to breakfast, gymnastics, Build-A-Bear (thanks for the groupon heads up Molly), pick the kids up from school, Anna's gymnastics, some kind of dinner, and cake and presents. :)

-Anniversary lunch on Sunday at The Melting Pot. Mmmmm.....my favorite!!! (super deal this week for being an email list member)

So...I need to clean house, order balloons, buy birthday gifts, make a cake, and enjoy these last few days of having a two year old. Time flies, but we're loving it!!

I love these pictures!!

The other night a bad storm rolled through, and for about 2 min the lighting was beautiful. The sky was dark behind the house where the mountains are, and around front the sun was blazing! So it just made for a pretty picture or two. Love this Anna pose! I just told her not to look at the camera, and this is what she gave me! I think Casey's eyes are a little more sensitive to the sun, because his face is a little more scrunched up. :)

We're EXPECTING...

a new little baby in May!!! I am 12 weeks pregnant, and we couldn't be HAPPIER! This is truly a prayer come true, and we praise God for ALL his wonderful works! The kids are so excited, but Anna is ecstatic! It is ALL she talks about.

A little nervous! I was never showing this early with any of the other kids.

This is our latest sonogram of #4. I am so excited to see this little one. All of our kids have very small noses, and even smaller when they're babies. Look at this baby's nose. It looks normal size! I'm kind of hoping since all of our kiddos look alike that this one has a look all it's own.

At my appt yesterday the baby was bouncing around like he/she was on a bounce house! So fun to see! Big Casey thinks the baby's face in the sonogram picture looks like a boy. What do you think?

Almost 3!

When did my baby get so big? Why do they have to grow up so fast?

Yesterday we took our annual trip to McCall's Pumpkin Patch! This was big Casey's first year to go, and we had so much fun!

There were goats to pet and brush.

Dad took the girls to the top of the hay bales.

Casey and I watched from below. Can you believe how tall he is? Man, 6ft at 13...WOW!

There was a lot of running. So glad Trinity decided she would wear her rainboots. If not, she would have been barefoot. She still refuses to wear shoes.

Going down the dark tunnel slide. She looks a little scared, don't you think? She loved and kept saying "one more time"!

Anna is an old pro at this slide, and it's one of her favorite things to do there.

After we had been there an hour or so, we were getting a little hungry and thirsty. Here comes Dad to the rescue! Pretty HOT if I do say so myself!

Trin waiting in line for the "bouncy thing"!

There was lots of jumping.

There was lots of laughing and falling too!

We had so much fun and we can't wait to go back again next year!

We Got Boo'd

Last night around 7:30 we heard the doorbell ring, and then a loud knock. I was a little nervous since I didn't know who it could be. Well, when we got to the door their was a bag full of surprises and goodies. Someone had Boo'd us, and made us newbies feel welcome in this wonderful neighborhood! So now it's our turn. We will be booing tonight!
