good gravy!  are we really halfway already?!

we had our mid-point ultrasound today. the baby slept through the whole thing, despite me drinking cold water, eating tootsie rolls, rolling around, and poking him. we’re actually going to have to do another one next month because they weren’t able to see all the important things they need to see to make sure everything is healthy.

snuggling the placenta pillow

so, although lazybones was uncooperative with what the dr felt was important, i was able to roll around just enough for the tech to get up under the legs and see that IT’S A BOY!!! the turkey is going to have a little brother and they’re going to be best buddies! i feel so incredibly blessed.

baby brother!!!!

it’s good to be home after a trip to the mountains with the in-laws.  the turkey had a great time playing with grandparents and aunts/uncles/cousins.  i’m just worn out.

oh good gravy.  just kill me now.  having the flu is miserable.  having the flu when you’re already suffering morning sickness is just plain cruel.  it’s been a rough week with hubby and i both running fevers and feeling like something stuck to the bottom of a giant’s shoe.  my while i only dealt with nausea with the turkey, i’ve actually been getting sick with the sequel and this week it has been much worse.  the poor turkey has been looking at us all week like “is someone going to take care of me around here?” somehow, hubby is managing to function better than me so he’s been picking up a lot of my slack.  all i want to do is curl up and die until this is over.

we spent this past week in orlando making the big announcement to family and friends down there.  the turkey wore his “only child big brother” announcement shirt and my niece was the first to figure it out.

shouting it out to the world!

last night, we went to see hillsong united with my sister and bil (the kids were there too but they were too cool to sit with us 🙂 ). it was such an incredible show and even more amazing to see so many people gathered together to praise and worship the Lord. i was truly blown away. it was also our first experience with a real babysitter… we’ve only ever left the turkey with our friends before and that was the plan this time too but he got a nasty sinus cold a few days ago and i didn’t want to get my friend’s kids sick.  so at the last minute we were scrambling through all of my niece’s friends trying to find someone she trusted who wasn’t going to the concert (there’s the problem with all your friends being Christians!).  we ended up with two girls who my niece and sister both vouched for and we warned them that he wasn’t feeling well and was going to be cranky.  about 90 seconds before the concert started, i got a call from the girl’s mother… oh goodness!  “your sweet little pumpkin has not been very happy”.  *shaking head*  basically, he was giving them fits about eating dinner, which i did also warn them about.  i basically told her to just feed him some cheese and yogurt and let him go to bed.  so, that could have gone better but, really, with him being sick i didn’t expect much.  it was still a fabulous night out with my hubby and family.

i found my life when i laid it down... i touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
