So much has happened since I last checked in.
We found out we are having a boy!! Jason couldn't wipe the smile off his face when the sonographer confirmed her 12 week ultrasound prediction. We also found out he has a text book heart, his lungs look great, and he is right on track for his gestational age. This little guy is active. He is constantly on the move. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he uses his energy to turn himself around. Right now he is breech and I am very much afraid of having a c-section. The doctor told me 50% of kiddos are breech at this point and only 3% are at birth. Let's hope I'm not in the 3% come September. This pregnancy is completely different from my pregnancy with Sydney. This little guy is wiping me out. I can't keep my eyes open past 9pm...Jason thinks I'm crazy, but is supporting me and understands that cooking up another person is hard work.
Sydney is doing amazing. She is speaking in sentences and is not afraid to let you know what she wants. I absolutely love this age. She LOVES to be outside, even if we are just sitting on the front steps. She loves the fresh air and sunshine. Sydney is learning her colors and starting to count. This last week at school she was introduced to caterpillars and they are currently wrapping themselves up in cocoons and will be butterflies next week. I think the plan is to let the butterflies go at the end of next week. She is also starting to attempt to use the potty. She is a bit timid, but is aware of what she needs to do while on the potty and quickly lets us know when she needs a new diaper. I cannot believe how fast she is growing and changing. I love watching it, but at the same time wish she would slow down. It is bittersweet. She is just a ton of fun!!
Jason and I are in the process of building a new house. We decided that we needed some more closet space and an extra garage space or two would be nice as well. Our house is on the market and has had a lot of traffic through, but no takers just yet. We are very excited about the new house, its location, and the neighborhood. We are also a little sad to leave Grandpa's house, the place where Mom, Aunt Carole, and Uncle Doug grew up, the place where we all have so many memories. We never will forget it! I ask myself, what would Grandpa and Grandma say about selling their home. I really think they would want us to do this for our family. I hope they are looking down and smiling at our decision. It was a hard one.
Last but not least, Sydney has a new cousin and Jason and I a new nephew! Rogen William was born in April!! He is absolutely perfect and I can't wait to see him this weekend!!
That's about it for now. I will do my best to get updates in more regularly. Hopefully I can figure out how to post some Ultrasound pics too. Jason may have to help with that one.
