Banana Baby

I read that my baby is the size of a BANANA! That is just crazy to me. As I was getting Landon's breakfast ready this morning and picked up one, I thought it would be fun to take a picture of it next to my belly. I remember reading that the baby was half the size of an "o". No wonder I can feel the baby more and more each day. Aside from the fact that I have terrible mood swings and ehem, bladder problems, I am feeling great. This is the fun part. I keep waiting for Chris and Landon to be able to feel the baby but it seems like he only wants to be really active right when I am going to sleep. Hopefully they will be able to pretty soon. I think I love my banana baby or something!

If Peeing Your Pants Is Cool...

consider me Myles Davis. Don't worry that I am only 20 weeks along and I am already peeing my pants. I didn't start having these problems with my last pregnancy until I was almost due so I was totally shocked when I coughed at work a few weeks back. I have such a weak bladder. It SUCKS! I don't like, totally pee buckets but come on. I was afraid to tell Chris about it because when he figured it out last time, he did everything he could to make me laugh and totally PEE myself. One time, I had an accident on the way home with Chris from getting a bite to eat. He did something ridiculous and I started laughing hysterically. I was wearing my favorite pair of cargo pink pants...It was the first time this had happened. Chris didn't believe me that I really did pee and so when I got out of the car, and my pants were soaked, all he could do was laugh his head off. He even SHOWED ONE OF MY FRIENDS MY PANTS WHEN SHE CAME OVER A LITTLE BIT LATER THAT NIGHT! WHO DOES THAT?! Anyway, I was going down to say goodnight to Chris tonight (he goes to bed early now!) and he had a soda in his hand. I asked if I could just have a sip and he handed it to me. For some reason, I just started laughing at him and had to stop drinking for a second. Then he was just looking at me funny and I spit soda EVERYWHERE. It got all over the wall, on Landon's bath towel that I had not even used yet, and his work pants. Because he was making such a fuss over his pants and making fun of me, I started laughing and yep, it happened right there on the floor. I kept saying "STOP! I'm peeing!" and he would just look at me and couldn't stop. I am only half way to having a baby...this is going to be a problem. I don't want to have to wear depends or something. So I guess what I am saying is, if you are pregnant or are planning to be, you have a lot of fun up ahead. HAHAHA!

What A BOY.

Landon is such a funny kid. He HATES to get his hands dirty but somehow almost ALWAYS has a messy face. I clean it and the next thing you know, I need to clean it again. Well, we went over to my sisters tonight to use her Crikit. My sister gave Landon a peice of candy and turned on a movie in the other room. I went in to check on him and he had the chalky candy ALL over his face. It's like he doesn't have a clue. He was just smiling and as happy as can be. I don't know why but I just had to take a picture. He also is very into wrestling with daddy or Pa-Pa (or anyone else who will play!) and so that why he has bruises all over his poor little face. It's not like anyone is rough with him but things happen. As soon as we got home, he took a nice warm bath and we got ready for bed. So okay, I lied-he almost ALWAYS has a messy face...when he is awake ;)

Burp Cloths

I learned how to crochet beads onto little girls socks at Craft Saturday in Seattle a over a year ago. I kept making them and making them but had no one to give them to. I found deals at Old Navy and such for fun colored socks for like, 50 cents so it wasn't a costly hobby. Anyway, I finally learned how to crochet baby birp cloths! My mom asked me if I would crochet one for my cousin's baby shower and I had no idea how to get started. I bought a doll birp cloth f for a buck and took it to work to see if one of my co workers would help me. I was sure that it would be confusing and take me forever but as soon as she showed me, I was done in no time! Next, I want to learn how to do a shell pattern that looks like lace but since I am having a boy, I think this will be so fun on a blankey for him. It looks much more complete than when I used to just sew flannel together. There is a super cute fabric store down the road that pre makes the holes with fun fabric and it doesn't cost that much. Now that I know what I am having, I will be in there soon picking out something fun for my baby! I am super excited.

We're So Glad When Daddy Comes Home...

glad as we can be! Chris started his new position today at Harmon's and we are really excited about it. For one, it pays more and two, he's home by 1:30 in the afternoon! His previous shifts were 4-12am and he would get home after we were already in bed. On the days that I work, I didn't even get to see him at all. I think Landon was surprised to see Daddy home so early. This shift is going to be great when I have two kiddos to take care of. He'll leave when we are sleeping and be home just after lunch. Yay! I'm so proud of you Chris!

One of the advantages of working at a grocery store is if we need something, Chris can just pick it up once his shift is over. Chris is always bringing home treats and Landon LOVES that.

IT'S A....

BOY!!! We found out this morning that on July 2nd, we are going to have another son. We couldn't be more thrilled. We got lost on the way to the appointment and then had to wait for a while for the ultrasound and that made me even more anxious. I could NOT want to find out what our little baby was going to be (and go to the bathroom!). I thought for sure the baby was going to be a girl but I am estatic! I was able to take home some picures of our little boy and also a dvd. I didn't get a dvd of Landon in my tummy so that was extra special to me. He wasn't moving around a whole lot but he seemed to like his hands over his head and kept smacking his little chops-so cute! We weren't able to get a profile shot of the baby and didn't get a very good picture of the spine so we may have to go back in for a re-do. I really hope that we get to because seeing my baby on the screen moving around is SO awesome. Other than not getting at that, everything looked good and baby appeared to be healthy weighing in at 10 ounzes already! I have yet to gain any weight-I really can't believe that. Anyway, now I can start going through Landon's things and putting them all away. We went overboard for Landon and have tubs and tubs of clothes and blankets waiting for a baby to use them. 5 months seems like a very long time to wait but hopefully it will go by fast for us. I absolutely cannot wait to hold this little guy in our arms. We are just so happy!

Babies face is on the left and his hands are over his face.

Definately a little boy!

His little legs.
