Dr Appointment {22 weeks}

I was scheduled to have my appointment for next Tuesday but due to some unusual swelling in a very unusual place making it painful to walk, I went in early. My OB wanted to get me in to make sure everything was ok and turns out it is. The protein in my urine was a little high so she thought I might have a bladder infection even though I don't have any symptoms but other than that...all is good! I am measuring 20cm instead of 22cm which kind of shocked me because I don't feel smaller than I should be. I have also gained more weight than I would of liked since my last appointment not even a month ago. I guess it's alright since that's all I've gained! Anyway, I go back in 2 weeks to make sure everything is still going alright. 2 weeks after that, I go in to have the glucose testing done. I can't believe that I will be 6 months pregnant in 2 weeks. This pregnancy is flying by and that makes me really excited because I can't wait to hold my little man!

Here is a picture of me from New Years Day that I never got to posting. I guess I was about 4 months along or so. I thought it would be fun to compare the two but I'm not sure if there is that much of a difference.
After my appointment, we ended over to my grandma's house in Salt Lake. My mom then took a picture of me since we were too rushed in the morning to. Landon had to get his picture taken just like mommy!

{Movement}

While I was taking a bath today, I suddenly saw my tummy move. Amazed, I sat and waited for the baby to move and it happened again! It's been fun being able to feel the baby move but to be able to SEE it from the outsidefor the first time is so amazing. Later tonight, after my mom's b-day dinner, I laid down while Chris sat up and kept his hand on my belly, just waiting. I had been feeling the baby move all through the evening so I was sure Chris would feel it. After a few minutes, no such luck. After Landon had gone to bed, I was upstairs watching T.V. and felt the baby on the outside over and over and over so I ran downstairs to have Chris feel. Not being a very patient person, Chris gave up pretty quickly. I kept telling him that the baby would move but he kept assuring me that he would have lots of time to feel the baby. As soon as he took his hand off, I felt not one but two kicks. I grabbed his hand and finally FINALLY Chris felt a little kick. At 21 weeks 3 days gestation, Chris got to feel his little boy move. It's kind of hard to believe that a baby so tiny can be felt from the outside already. I remember towards the end of my pregnancy with Landon, just laying in bed with Chris for hours watching this baby move like crazy. I should of video taped it. It's pretty cool to watch. Anyway, I thought I should blog about this so I will remember down the road when daddy first felt his second son inside my tummy. Now I just anxious for Landon to feel and to see his reaction. I just know he's going to love his little brother as much as we do!

RV Show

Chris and I decided that instead of moving into an apartment, we would rather spend our money on an RV and park it in my parents front yard. So that's what we are planning to do. JUST KIDDING! My sister called me up on Saturday morning telling me that her sister in law had won tickets to the RV show. I thought the whole idea was pretty silly but when she invited Chris, Landon, and me to go, I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to go and see what it was like. Chris immediately said no way and laughed about it for a few minutes but I decided that it would be more fun for Landon than sitting home all day with his boring mom and dad. He ended up LOVING it! He called the RVs "big trucks" and wanted to go inside and "drive" every single one. I think his favorite RV was the one that had a flat screen and was playing Ice Age. Luckily, he was so excited to go see more that there was no tantrum. We ended up staying for about 3 hours and it wasn't all that bad! Some of these things were HUGE. I can definately see why people would want to go camping in them but I think we'll stick to buying our own home...SOMEDAY :]

Mayan Adventure

Snow Days

There is a little park just down the street from my parents so we decided to take the kids there one afternoon. They had too much fun but it was COLD COLD COLD! We saw some kids sledding down some hills that were right there so we decided to come back and try it! Landon and Lena tried it once and flew on their faces and ended up both crying. After a few times sledding with Chris, Lena was ready to do it by herself. She had a great time while Landon just liked to stand and watch. I went once or twice but I was too scared of hurting the baby. We will have to try it next year when I'm not pregnant. Afterwards, the kids played on the playground and we built a snowman. After we got home and ate lunch, the kids took a nice long nap. It was wonderful!

Valentines Day

I was silly this year and didn't get any pictures. What was I thinking?! Anyway, we started off the day by going out to a yummy breakfast at IHOP. Landon was a huge fan of his twisty "slide" straw. Then, all of the boys headed to the UTES game and I went baby shopping with Joan and Lena. My favorite kind of shopping! Joan bought me a breast pump and I found some really good deals on baby boy winter stuff. We're talking 3 bucks an oulfit! When the guys got home from the game, I showed Chris the baby stuff and pump but didn't think he would really care. He was really confused by the pump and said he didn't understand how it sucked because he didn't feel it on his hand. Joan then told him to lift up his shirt and she stuck them on and sure enough, it worked! It was SO funny. I should of gotten out the camera. "Here baby, look, this is how we prepared for your arrival." Haha. I thought Chris would be angry that I spent more money on clothes but he thought they were really cute. Then we just relaxed and ordered a pizza. Later, Brittany and Cody stopped by with cupcakes and we ended up watching "Unfaithful" on tv. What a great Valentine's Day movie ;] It was a fun day though! I was glad to be able to spend it with both of our parents. Oh, and I coudln't believe this was Chris and my fourth Valentine's together. Crazy! Happy late Valentine's Day everyone!
