John Chelsea's First Outfit

I have made (yes MADE) John Chelsea's first outfit! This will most likely be what he comes home from the hospital in (obviously needing to add a long-sleeved onesie and some pants too).

It was my first attempt at a sweater and dang it, I think it turned out pretty good! I will probably add a few buttons to the front to keep it closed, but that is a simple fix.

Here is Emma. She wanted to "pose" with the new outfit, too.

Here she is just being goofy

She just wants us to remember she is still "the cute one".

Reminds me of the day whe she said "But I'm pwetty!"

John Chelsea it is!

We got the news on Friday - it's a BOY!!!


Everybody is SO excited - some are sad it's not a girl, but all the people in my house are pleased with the outcome - and since we are the ones that will have to live with this new little growing person, I guess that is what counts. :)


Here are the ultrasound pictures:

Here is a little foot and toesies!
Here is the "alien" shot with the hand up on his cheek

Little guy was pretty uncooperative, so we almost didn't get the "money shot". He was lying with his back to us, in the fetal position almost the whole time. But when Dr. Evil tried to get her scans done at the end, every time she got his face in the scan, he would turn his head away (hehe).

Everything looked really good. He has all the right parts, in the right amounts and in the correct places. And he weighs 14 oz. This prompted me to ask where the other 11 lbs. are. :) We all know they are sitting in my bra. LOL!

In other funny news, Xavier was talking to me yesterday and he said "you know, it would only take 23 men to make all the women on Earth have a baby". I know this would make most mothers of an 8 year old stop and go "huh?" But my guy seems to be full of interesting facts that he loves to share, so I simply reply "Where did you find that out?" His response is where I had to go "Xsqueeze me?" because what I heard him say was "in my sex dreams". I almost choked on the DQ blizzard I was eating! When I said "um...what was that?", I found out what he really said was "on Animal Planet Extreme". Whew! Holy Crap! I am SOOOOO not ready for that other stuff!

Half-baked with a kick

I am officially past the 20 week mark! Everything is going great. Friday is my ultrasound with Dr. Evil. Having mixed feelings about that. Not worried about the baby, but just don't want to spend my morning with her. Hopefully, it is a quiet appointment and all is good. I don't think I could handle getting any bad news from her.

Kids are good. We got the fall off to a good start with Xavier's first soccer game Saturday. His team is "Revolution". The kids did a great job. We didn't win, but it seems like everyone had a good time. We also went to the circus last week. They had a great time; Emma loved Tom the clown - he was the Ring Master's side kick/nemesis.

Next on the block, the beginning of popcorn sales and the Taylor Swift concert on the 8th of October. Guess I am just glad we have so much to do so the last half of this pregnancy doesn't drag. :)
