another long/great week

So, finally got the fabric for my new shirt. And, I LOVE the fabric. I had to order the fabric for the main part of my shirt, and then once it came, I went and bought the fabric for the contrast and underlay piece. I think the shirt came out great! I had a few rough patches, but this is the biggest piece that I have made without the constant help from Mom. OH, and I'm also 22 weeks now! Yay!

This is the front...I do kind of look like I have an extra chin, though.

The side, and my big ol' belly. I'm wearing it with my black leggings.
Ok, so this isnt from this week, but it's still cute. Gavin was eating homemade chicken noodle soup. We had discovered he LOVED it the night before. He also discovered, that he really liked flinging food...I do believe there was chicken on the wall behind the high chair.

Another shot of chicken noodle boy. He was in SUCH a good mood that day!

So, this week is Thanksgiving. Mike and Mandy are coming up Wed night, and Mom, Dad and The Girls will be here Tues. I'm soo excited! I actually made the shirt for Thanksgiving. You know, give me something to wear that day that I can wear to church and whatnot. Ok, enough rambling now. Later!

What a week....

So, it has been quite a week. Gavin has learned to climb up onto things, and is very happy about it. My friend April came back up here, since her hubby is going to be back from his deployment next week. My belly seems to have gotten huge. Oh, and I'm 20 weeks now!!! I'm halfway through this pregnancy!! Yay!!

Here is my belly at 20 weeks. Looks big, doesnt it? Someone at church told me I look further along than I am, and she doesnt see me going past March 15th. I'm ok with that.

Gavin is very pleased with himself. He climbed, all by hisself, onto the suitcases. He's been attempting that for a really long time (since we got home from Indiana..I know, I'm bad). That face is also almost his anime face. But, I had to take 4 pics to get this one. He finally decided to pose.
Yup...on the suitcase again. He was certainly proud of himself.

He also discovered a love of rocking. He tried climing onto the chair, it didnt work, so daddy put him on the chair. He loved it!

I'm also getting ready for family at Thanksgiving. I'm soo excited, since Mom, Dad, Molly, Laura, Mike, Mandy and Miles will all be here. YAY! And, Miles is walking now, so things will be fun, watching Gavin and Miles play fairly with eachother. Woot!

Ultrasound!

So, today I had my "real" ultrasound. Of course, it hurt, cuz I had to pee very badly, but that's ok. The baby was not cooperative at all, it was curled up into a ball. It's ok, though. That does mean, that if Russ had been there (he had to stay home and watch Gavin) that he wouldn't have been able to find out what we were having. Though, it did make it difficult for the tech to get the pics and measurements of all the organs that she needed. She let me go pee, and that was the only way that she was able to get a pic of the heart. With all 4 chambers. Anyway, here are the pics!

This is the baby's back...you can kinda see that its legs are pulled forward.

One profile picture. Again, if you look, you can see that baby's legs are crossed. You might actually be able to see the bones, and where they are crossed.
Baby moved its hand a little! I think it's saluting daddy, even though he wasn't there.

Baby has REALLY moved in this picture...lol. Legs have moved slightly, and it looks like the baby is either trying to suck it's thumb, or maybe it's just tired. Either way, it is a very very cute picture of my baby!

I have an appointment on Monday, so hopefully by then the midwife will have the ultrasound results there. She said we're supposed to go over them together, so she can see how the baby is doing, and make any adjustments to the due date (which I will fight tooth and nail). I'm just glad I was able to see the baby again. Yay!
