Ready For Your Close Up?

Well, like it or not, we got all up close and personal into Dewy space! Here is a big smile from our precious baby at 30 weeks: The baby is cute, huh? Do you think Dewy looks like H did in his 3D photo shoot? I actually think Dewy looks a lot like my little sister J.

We got much better pictures of Dewy than we were able to with H. While H was playful and making funny faces and hiding from us, Dewy was ready to be photographed and showed us smiles galore!

Every child is different and every pregnancy is different. I can't wait to figure out what kind of baby Dewy on the outside!

A WHOLE Lotta Love

It is a modern tradition for the father of a newborn to buy the mother a push gift or as I like to call it a baby gift because pushing just sounds a little too gross for me. This is a small gift showing the mother who just spend 9 months carrying the baby and x amounts of hours in labor how much you appreciate them for all you did to make this little adorable human being possible. Yes I know how science works and I know it takes a man & a woman to make a baby but for all you women who have been pregnant you know that your responsibility is just a little bigger than the dads in those 9 months of blissful pregnancy!

D got me a wonderful gift when I had H. In fact we chose the gift together and for each child we have I will get the same gift and the plan is that when our kids grow up I will pass these baby gifts on to them one day.

That may have all changed after what I found today! I found the MOTHER of all gifts! Check it out!
I don't think that 500 carats of near flawlessness is too much! In fact I think it shows just the right amount of love!

I love H like crazy and I love Dewy like crazy and I love the other kids I will have like crazy and I would have them baby gift or not but com'on, wouldn't my neck look great with a 500 carat diamond pendant weighing it down?

You know I'm kidding about wanting this diamond, right? Just a little kidding...

Dewy: IN 3D

As I mentioned in the past D&I don't want to do anything for H that we can't maintain for Dewy. Which means since we saw H in 3D we are going to get to see Dewy in 3D.

I'm so excited about this. I don't really need to know what kind of baby I'm getting (boy v. girl) I just really want to see their face and wonder if I will be putting pink ribbons in all those white shadows (what hair looks like in 3D sonogram) or if I will be covering it all up with a baseball cap???

We'll see... 10 more weeks to go! But in the meantime, I'll post pictures on Thursday after we get a peek.

Proud Mamama

I'm gonna gush for about 4 sentences (that is all) about how absolutely stinkin' adorable my son is. I'm just crazy about him! There is nothing more adorable in the world that watching him toddle around like a cute little 2ish foot tall FrankenHenry. I can't believe that my son is this absolutely perfect! I mean, I knew I'd have cute kids because com'on what kid isn't really that cute but I didn't realize my son was going to be the cutest of the cutest of the cutest of them all!

Man... I'm so madly in love with him I'm gonna go pick him up from his crib and give him a big huge kiss and a squeeze! Oh, you know what is totally cute too?? He gives kisses! I mean, what is cuter than a little tiny face in your face giving you a kiss?

That was more than 4 sentences, huh???

Fierce!

Here is a good reason to be knocked up in the spring of 2009....

Christina Siriano of Project Runway fame is launching a maternity line!

Other moms/pregnant women out there will have to agree that it is time for some FIERCE maternity fashions and if anyone out there can make a woman with a big old bump on her belly look fierce that is Christian.

Though I'm not currently planning to be pregnant next spring I'm definitely looking forward to what he (along with Moody Mamas) has to offer.

Ciao!

Hey there... I know I have been meaning to post something lately but I have been busy! We were on a fabulous two week adventure in Italy. It was WONDERFUL! We had the best time but I do not suggest flying 10 hours with a 1 year old and being 5 months pregnant. Regardless of the arsenal of stuff we took with us to make the flights easier on ourselves and our fellow passengers H was WAY to curious to even attempt to sleep! About 2 hours after taking off on the Seattle-Copenhagen flight I wondered if it was even worth it. Staying home would have been easier for sure, but the trip was so much fun that I'd deal with the hassel of the long sleepless flights happily!

When we got home two weeks later I feel like I have been running none stop! The summer is like that and sometimes (I know I'll take back my words in March on the 150th rainy day in a row) I can't wait for the fall to hunker down again! Things always seem to slow down in the fall and with the colder air, the lazy football Sundays, and the trees changing colors there is a setteling calmness that takes over. With baby #2 coming this fall do I really think that I'll get even a taste of this calmness???

Two years of wedded bliss

Today D & I are celebrating our second wedding anniversary. I have to say this year has been pretty outstanding as far as marriages go. All in one year we got our sweet little prince, D's start up (enterTONEment.com) is up and running and doing very well, we're off to Italy next week with H for a pre-baby #2 adventures, we got a new nephew, we just installed a sprinkler system, and I'm celebrating another anniversary pregnant.

I think I'm particularily excited about the sprinkler system. Not really, but I have been giving D such a hard time about them that I figure on our anniversary I'll be extra nice. They are JUST TERRIFIC!

With another baby coming I know the next year with be full of adventures too. The big question, will I celebrate #3 knocked up with baby #3???

It's a.....

You really thought I was going to tell you what kind of baby I am having???

Unlike last time when we did know that H was going to be a H but did not tell anyone, we choose not to find out this time. Not for any particular reason other than I think the first time I was so overwhelmed with becoming a mom and being pregnant and all the prenatal testing and working and stuff like that I needed to have something that I could control to mentally prepare and put my mind at ease. This time I'm prepared whether I like it or not! But I do like it! :-)

I had the sex revealing ultrasound last week and all the baby's organs and stuff looks good. I got some really great pictures which I will share as soon as I can get D to scan them. Also, in about 12 weeks I'm going to get a 3D/4D ultrasound. It is uncanny the similarities between H's 3D pictures and his newborn picture. I want to see if they are just as good the second time around. I'll post those too.

'Night! I'm going to go give my nearly 1 yr old sweet prince a big kiss and go to sleep! It was an exhausting day!

Flutter or gas?

I just got back from our Austin trip and it was amazing! I did miss my boys like crazy but there was also something very cool about being away with just my sister and my parents. I kind of felt like I was a kid all over again. I wonder if my kids will still want to go away alone with me when they have their own families? I'll probably still be talking about how much fun Austin was (way back when) when they are my age and hopefully that will be a selling point to get them to go away with me!?

Anyhow my topic tonight is WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY BELLY!! I'm now 19 weeks along with this kid. I heard at this point, or even earlier, if it isn't your first pregnancy, you should be feeling the kid kick. I don't really remember the H kicking me like this. This feels different. H didn't start kicking until a bit later (I think) so I guess I really don't have to worry, right?

That said, what is going with in there?!? I find it hard to believe all that deep Texas BBQ I ate is causing this 3 days later. Besides, it doesn't really have the hurty, yucky, I ate the wrong thing feeling. Maybe it is this kid kicking me from the inside. I hope so!
