Our January life

Things around here have been pretty normal. I'm making a quiet book for Myah, so that's been taking up any spare time I have. I really am enjoying it though, so I'll be sad when it's done! I'm finally better, with an occasional cough. Myah's feeling mostly better too, and the baby is moving around and kicking me like crazy! Here are some pics of what Myah's been up to lately. She makes us laugh all the time!

J and I turned around to find Myah trying to take off her shirt by herself!
 

 Myah wants to eat ALL THE TIME, even right after she's had a big meal. So the way to distract her from that is to either have her play in the water...

 

...or "help" me cook or do something on the counter. In this pic, we were "cooking" something and then she found my zip-lock bags and decided it was fun to take them all out. Fun discoveries!

 And here she is modeling stuffed animal, Snoopy's flight goggles! She is constantly blowing my mind with what she knows and remembers, and the funny things she does!
 

We went to our targeted ultrasound appointment yesterday (at almost 24 weeks along) and got some great 3D shots of the new baby! Much better then the ones we got with Myah. The lady just kept saying how long she is! And seriously, she was putting the paddle ALL OVER my belly!  She's estimated to weight 1 lb 3 oz and everything looks great.

This is the bottom of her foot. So cute!



It's a....

...girl! We're having another girl. We're excited about it and are very glad we don't have to buy stuff for a boy! We just don't have space. I am very glad to know the baby's gender. I feel like it helps me bond so much better to the baby, instead of calling it "it" all the time! Now I can think about the details. The most interesting to think about is: will she look like Myah or more like Justin and I? Because Myah looks nothing like us!

I'm still trying to get over this flu junk. I've had it for almost 3 weeks and I'm still having issues from it. My sister-in-law Jess commented on my last post that pregnant ladies should be exempt from sickness...and I whole-heartedly agree! It's hard enough dealing with the aches, pains, and sickness from pregnancy. Hopefully it will be gone soon!

 

Half way!

This past week I had the flu, and am mostly recoved now, but I had Justin take a pic of me (even though I look nasty) to show me at 20 weeks. I had to cancel my appointment last week due to the flu, so I go in tomorrow. Hopefully the baby won't be shy again and we'll see what gender it is! 

 Here's a few pictures to show a little of what Myah's been up to lately:

She loves "helping" me with laundry and sitting on the washer while it goes.

 She remembered this week that bath's ARE fun (as long as I wash her hair in the sink).

And licking the yummy brownie mix is the best!
