13 weeks

Today I am 13 weeks.  I am still battling the nausea but am hoping and praying it will ease up soon.  I went in for another check up.  The OB got the doppler out to find the heartbeat.  She thought she heard it for a split second but wasn't sure so she sent me down to ultrasound again.  Baby grew quite a bit in just 4 weeks.  Still not much movement but he or she did move their arm a little bit.  Still saw the beating heart so all is well.  The ultrasound still put my due date at February 6th but we're sticking with my January 30th due date for the time being.

It's true!!!!

I think everyone knows just about now as Facebook is where I update the most.  But for any of you that only view my blog, we will be expecting baby #3 the end of January.

The boys were super excited when we told them.  Isaac has been asking for a baby siter for over a year now.

A lot of people were very surprised when we told the news.  In fact we are still in shock too.  I actually expected it to take a lot longer like it did before.  We're just very excited and can't wait to meet the newest addition.

The end of June I met with a new OB that comes to our clinic once a month.  I went down to ultrasound to confirm a due date.  There was a tiny little peanut there with a beating heart.  The ultrasound put my due date at February 6th but so far they aren't moving my due date.

Vacation to Park Rapids

We decided to try a cabin type vacation for the boys this year.  We made reservations at Sleeping Fan in Park Rapids.  We left Saturday morning and got there Saturday afternoon.  The drive itself took about 6 hours.  The boys did great riding in the van and I was very impressed with how good they were.  We only stopped once for lunch and then we stopped at a grocery store when we got into town to get some things for the cabin.  The resort was very nice with only 6 cabins and a private lake.  Its pretty much exactly what we wanted.  The only downfall was that there was no tv or air conditioning.  Our cabin didn't even have a fan.  We finally had to ask the 2nd night there for one.  Sleeping wasn't the best but we had a great time.  Isaac and Caleb loved the hammock just outside our cabin.  Isaac would swing on that for hours.  They also had a pontoon we could rent which we did 2 days.  We also could go on the kyacks, paddle boats and row boats.  The boys had a blast.  Isaac was a fish and loved jumping in the water off the docks and boat.  Caleb never stepped foot into the water.  The last night there was Caleb's birthday.  That night we planned on going out to eat and doing something fun in town for him.  Unfortunately he wasn't feeling the best.  He didn't touch his supper.  We went to a little old fashioned icecream shop which had amazing icecream.  Caleb had a few bites but left the rest.  I knew he wasn't feeling well when he wouldn't eat his icecream.  We tried to go see Madagascar but of course it sold out.  So we went to Walmart and let the boys pick out a toy and a movie and went back to the cabin and watched it on the laptop.  Caleb's fever shot up to 102 but he never threw up.  He said his tummy hurt.  By the next afternoon he was fine so we figured it was from all the sun and heat as it had hit the upper 90's about every day we were there.  We headed back home Tuesday.  The boys loved their vacation and so did we.  We hope to go to another cabin, but maybe a little closer this time :-)

Caleb's 4 year check up

I took Caleb in for his 4 year check up.  He's growing like a weed, but still tall and thin.  He's 38 lbs and 42 1/2 inches long.  Unfortunately we ended a good check up with 2 shots in each leg.  He cried so hard.  This Mommy felt very bad for the poor boy.  We went straight to Casey's and he got to pick out a juice and a donut.  The tears stopped shortly after that.

We still haven't gotten Isaac's 4 year shots and technically he can get them when he's 5.  If you know my Isaac it's going to take a herd of us just to hold him down.  Caleb was nothing like that but I'm sure those shots hurt like crazy.  Poor thing.

I looked up Isaac's stats and at his 4 year check up he was well over 40 lbs and 1/2 inch taller.  It will be interesting to see how tall they end up.  I still think Caleb is going to pass Isaac at some point, but I thought he would have done it by now. 

I can't believe my little guy is 4 years old!  Where has the time gone.
