9 months young!

This post is late. Sadly this is due to the loss of our beloved fur child Porky. We sure miss him, but that is for another post.

On a happier note... Lorelei you...

Love Growling back at Liam when he growls at you. You'll also cry if he cries.
Words you can say: mama (ma), dada, bye bye (buh), dog (dah).
Like to wave and shake your head yes.
Love to practice walking & HATE when we make you sit down.
LOVE splashing in the dog water, getting into the bathroom, trying to crawl the stairs, take apart night lights and otherwise getting into things you're not supposed to be into.
Wear cloth diapers, nap 2-3x a day (3rd nap is a quick 20 minutes cat nap if your previous 2 naps were short)
LOVE to eat and MUST eat before anyone else does (& you eat a ton). You still breastfeed about 4-5x a day.
I think you permanently sleep through the night. Haven't had you wake up in a long time.
You're a pincher. Daddy calls you a lobster. You especially like to take a huge chunk of skin from the person rocking you to sleep.
You're chubbing up. We need to get a weight and length measurement on you. Your head is 18''. You're happy and lovable. You love people and smiling and playing bashful. You are starting to actually interact with other babies and aren't too good at sharing. Tis tis.
You are a BALL of ENERGY and are going to give mommy and daddy a run for their money. But you're so stinkin' sweet about it.

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby We Conceived...

We conceived our little miracle this time last year ( your estimated conception date was between Tuesday, September 29, 2009 and Tuesday, October 6, 2009--source babymed ). I have always thought my due date was off by 2 days, but either way we conceived around this time last year! My how things change in a year... what an incredibly blessed year it has been!
