26 week update

Well today I am 26 weeks, only 14 more weeks to go. It has gone by pretty fast I must say. Although, once I hit 24 weeks things sort of started going downhill. In the past couple weeks I have found out I am borderline anemic, exhausted, suffering from upper back pain, bladder infection and now I am having serious pelvic pain when I walk. I'm not really sure if baby is just positioned in a spot that is not feeling so great or what is going on. I just know I am utterly exhausted and not feeling so great lately. But I guess things could be worse. I do believe baby boy is growing nicely. At my appointment last week we listened to the heartbeat and it was 160 so that seems to be right on target.

A few pictures

Last night Isaac and Ross were playing on the floor so I tried to get a few pictures. Of course whenever the camera comes out, Isaac quits smiling. It was too cute!!! Today was a nice day outside and after we got home, I decided to put Isaac's coat and hat on and just walk outside. It was a little windy but it was nice just to be outside for a few minutes with him. He is so cute in his camo pants, Pooh coat and John Deere hat!!! See for yourself!!! And I must say he is doing great at sitting, I bet he'll be sitting before he ever gets rolling mastered.

Easter

Isaac had a good 1st Easter. We went to Sunrise Service at 8:00 followed by breakfast at 9:00 and then Worship Service at 10:00. We made it to my parents a little after 12:00. It was a small gathering this year as everyone else had plans, but it was nice. We had a good time with my parents and my brother Chad. We had a lot of good food too, ham, potatoes, rolls, strawberry pretzel salad, snicker salad. Then for dessert we had homemade icecream and brownies topped with hot fudge. Yum!!!!!

Isaac got a couple new toys too so he was happy. Grandma and Grandma Johnson came over in the afternoon to see us since they hadn't seen Isaac in quite a while. They were amazed at how much he has grown. We got Isaac's Easter pictures back from Walmart and they turned out great. I also got a couple Easter snapshots. I'll call them Easter snapshots anyway, we won't tell Isaac that we forgot the camera and took them tonight!!!!

Growing up too fast

Isaac is sure growing up too fast. I can't believe he will be 5 months in a little over a week. Where has the time gone. He still won't roll over. He did it once before he turned 4 months and now he has no interest in doing it. Oh well, hopefully he'll decide to do it soon. He's right on track with everything else. He's chattering all the time and loves his toys and really gets excited when he sees Sam. He can hold his own bottle for a little bit and takes his pacifier in and out of his mouth. He absolutely loves bath time and listening to his nursery rhymes.
We bought him an exersaucer last weekend and he loves it.

We started Isaac on rice cereal the other night. He absolutely loved it. It was so cute. He kept pulling my hand towards his mouth. I tried to make it a little thicker tonight but he didn't like that so I had to add more formula to it. It didn't help him sleep any longer last night. He was still up at 2:30 for a 4 ounce bottle. Hopefully he'll sleep through the night again soon. We know he can do it!!!!

23 week/24 week update

It will be interesting to see when baby decides to make HIS arrival. When we first found out we were expecting they put my due date at June 24th. Then at what I thought was 12 weeks they couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler, so they sent me down for an ultrasound which then determined I was only 10.5 weeks along so my due date was reset to July 7th or 9th (I can't remember). Last week at my ultrasound we figured I was 22 weeks 1 day and the ultrasound showed me to be further along with a due date of June 29th.
Today I had a check up and the doctor wants to keep my original due date of July 7th (maybe we'll have a firecracker baby). He said the earlier you have an ultrasound the more accurate the due date is. He measured me and I am measuring a little over 23 weeks. Everything is looking great and baby is really active. Doctor had to chase the baby around to get a heartbeat because he kept moving. The heartbeat today was a little slower at 153 but still great!!! Next check up is April 7th and I have the gestational diabetes test with the yummy sugary drink (yeah right it's lemon lime).

Ultrasound photos (Baby boy #2)

I am not sure if you will be able to see these well or not. I think the one of his face is the best. We've started thinking of names so hopefully we'll have a name this month, but of course we're keeping that a secret until he makes his arrival.

The verdict is in....

What a great ultra sound. Baby was moving around like crazy. Baby is doing wonderful. The tech took many measurements and according to ultrasound my predicted due date is June 29th instead of July 7th. I won't know if they are going to change my due date until I see the doctor in 2 weeks. I just loved looking at the baby. The tech said she hopes the baby slows down soon or I will be a punching bag soon!!!! Heart rate was 155 and everything looks great!!!!
So now onto the even better news.............

We are having........................
