My Little Helper

 Chesney is such a great little helper (which should come in handy when baby #2 is born).  I like giving her some responsibility, and she likes helping.

 

 

 

 She ended up in her swim suit asking me to spray her. 

 

 

And she loves to help clean the toilets.

 

I have to say, she makes washing the car and cleaning toilets much more enjoyable.

Baby #2 - 20 Week Ultrasound

These are some pictures from our 20 week ultrasound.  The lady was going to take a 3D picture, but the little stinker was spine up most of the time.

 

 

 

 

Gender Reveal

We had our 20 week ultrasound today and are so excited to announce that we are expecting a...

Chesney is such a proud big sister.  And we are so excited to learn the ropes of raising a boy.

 

 We have lots of learning and shopping ahead of us!

Baby #2 - 20 Weeks

• How far along: 20 weeks (Half way there...wow!)
• Size of baby: measures 10 inches — about the size of a banana — and weighs 10.5 ounces
• Total Weight Gain: 5 pounds
• Maternity Clothes: No but getting way closer!  Wearing my more comfortable clothes.
• Gender: Finding out this week...squeal!
• Sleep: Tossing and turning a little during the night.
• Cravings: Grape juice, pasta, and spaghetti sauce with hamburger in it (yes, that's right, MEAT).
• Anything making you queasy or sick?  Powder scented stuff (lotion, deodorant). 
• Best moment this week: Daddy set up a new cradle for baby, and we started organizing the spare bedroom and baby's room.
• What I miss most: Fitting comfortably into my clothes.
• Symptoms: Vomiting about once each week.  I hit a new low this week when I threw up grape juice and it came out my nose too (ouch).
• What I'm looking forward to: Finding out baby's gender
• Movement: Feeling kicks more often.  I love feeling the kicks while I'm working.

Sweet Treats

  Chesney is a BIG fan of sweet treats.  We decided to take her to a local ice cream stand last weekend, and she had a blast!  She was asking for pink ice cream all the way there.  We thought we were going to have to get her a strawberry malt to get the pink color she wanted, but they ended up having strawberry soft serve.

   Yeah, she liked her pink ice cream!  So worth the trip for our little princess.

Baby #2 - 19 Weeks

• How far along: 19 weeks
• Size of baby: measures 6 inches — about the size of a large tomato — and weighs 8.5 ounces
• Total Weight Gain: 4 pounds
• Maternity Clothes: No but getting way closer!
• Gender: 1 week until we find out.
• Sleep: Tossing and turning a little during the night.
• Cravings: Grape juice, pasta, and spaghetti sauce with hamburger in it (yes, that's right, MEAT).
• Anything making you queasy or sick?  Powder scented stuff (lotion, deodorant).  Lots of things leave a bad after taste in my mouth.
• Best moment this week: Daddy felt baby kick on August 18, 2012

• Symptoms: Vomiting and nausea - this has been mild though compared to the beginning.
