Our little peanut

We had a doctors appointment today to do the normal testing for abnormalities. Everything showed lil peanut is healthy. The nurse said she rarely sees any baby's hands flat and open and thought it was pretty cool she got to see it. She usually sees them in a fist or one finger pointing out. Peanut has both hands up as if he/she is clapping. Also if you look real close, it looks as if he is sticking his tongue out. I happen to think it's a girl! Peanut is 4 inches long and 12 weeks old and had a heart rate of 164. (click on the pic to enlarge)

This is Max not so happy at the end of his cut. But he does look much better!

Max's 1st haircut

Max had his first haircut yesterday. He was happy at first but towards the end he got a little upset. Overall he did great and it was so cute to watch him. He is growing up!

Baby Marlee

I put a new link under my cool sites to go to. It's Marlee's site. I put this on here so anyone can follow her progress and pray for her as she fights a rare cancer Neuroblastoma. Marlee was born 10 days after Max and I could not imagine going through something like this. Especially at this young age. I have known her parents Mikey and Jennifer since grade school and now that we are older and moved on, we stay in touch through Facebook. A bunch of us from high school keep up to date on each others lives and families through Facebook so you can say it's easy to get attached to one anothers family. Please pray for her and her family. We know she will make it through this.

Max is going to be a big brother

So I had my second doctors appointment today. I am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. The due date is November 23rd. We are seeing the same doctor that was with us for our pregnancy with Max. Dr. Zimmer was very surprised to see us so soon but very happy for us. He said we are a fun couple and he looks forward to seeing us through for our second baby. The new baby had a strong heart beat (167) and he/she was very active. He was wiggling all around on the ultrasound and Zimmer said he was an active little thing. I said he is acting exactly how Max did. Funny how both of them were little busy bodies. So we have a very busy road ahead of us. It will be interesting how I will be able to chase Max around when I'm 9 months pregnant... We just pray that we have as good a pregnancy as we did with Max. This is all a blessing and we don't take a minute of it for granted.



This is when we told the news to Justin's family that Max was going to be a big brother. Justin and I made a bib with the letters Big Brother on it. We let them figure it out instead of saying anything. It was pretty funny once they caught on. This will be the 2nd grandchild for Justin's mom and the 8th for my mom. Sorry all but the sperm and egg bank is officially closed. We are blessed to be able to have two. It will be up to Chelsea and Ashley to add to the list. (and that wont be for many many many... years!)



Max letting daddy know he is happy to be a big brother. He says if it's a girl he will have to start karate lessons early!






Chelsea and Max having a stare down. Max is like don't mess with me girl, I'm a big brother now!

Spring Fair

Sunday was a great day to go to the spring Puyallup Fair. Max loved the animals however got scared by one cow. He started to cry every time he looked at it. It was pretty cute.

















This is the cow that scared him. He looks happy now but a few seconds before this photo he was crying.















This picture has nothing to do with the fair. But I just wanted to show how he can get out of any chair if he isn't strapped in. He can get out of his green bouncy chair, the bumbo seat and his car seat. He is a real houdini.
