Caitlin's Shower

Today I went to my first baby shower, so funny that I go to my first baby shower while I am pregnant! It was for Miss Caitlin who is due March 6th, just 2 months before me. She is having a little boy too and naming him Oliver, I can't wait for him to have playdates with Parker. It was a lot of fun we played silly games like: Guess the Candy Bar (looking/smelling melted candy bars in diapers) and Draw little Oliver (drawing on a paper plate on your head).

She had a great turn out and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. I am so excited for mine to be here! Can't wait to have all my friends together and celebrate little PJ!



Little Flutters

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things." ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Today I started feeling PJ moving around. It is so crazy that there is a little boy growing in my belly! I love the little flutters it is just a reminder that he is alive and well in there. So far they have been very small and hardly noticeable but I am sure he will feel like he is going to kick through my stomach before it is all said and done.

I can't wait for Paul to be able to feel him too. I know he will be so excited but for now it is just a little mother son bonding!

Great-Grandparents Time

This weekend we told the Great-Grandparents. It was such a good time! We went up to Stuart last night to hang out and spend the night with Mom and Dad, Brittany came up too. Then this morning we had Grammie, Granddad, and Sandy over and told them the same way we told the Plugers, with a framed picture of my sonogram. Grammie was so excited, she opened her frame and was just looking at it, then Mom asked what it was a picture of. Grammie replied "an unborn baby?" then all of a sudden it hit her and she started yelling and getting so excited. Took Granddad a couple seconds to hear what was going on there was too much noise for him to catch what was happening but it did not take long. And then everyone celebrated!

Shortly after we went over to Grandmom's and gave her her frame. She opened it up and gave me a hug right away. Teary eyed she turned to Paul for a hug then back to me for another one. It was very sweet and emotional. We then went over to Grammie's for dinner and Joy called so I was able to tell her the good news too.

Now that everyone in the family knows the secret is finally completely out. Time to celebrate!

Halloween

Last night we went to Ben & Brittnie's for their Halloween Party. I wore a silly shirt that said "I'm not Fat.. I'm Knocked Up". It was fun to be there and get to be excited with my friends about being pregnant. So  happy that it is no longer a secret. It was also very exciting to tell everyone that it is a little boy!

Then tonight we stayed home and passed out candy to the tricker treaters. This was the first year we have done it and was fun to see all the cute costumes. Wonder what PJ (Paul Jr) will be next year. Saw pictures online and Olivia was a little sheep, she was adorable! Ben was a shepherd and Kable a wolf, so fun seeing how excited Ben is when it comes to Olivia, I am sure Paul will be the same way.

I just started my 14th week on Thursday and cannot believe how fast time is going by. I am already 3 months pregnant - Time Flies!

Happy Halloween!

Plugers at the Park

This afternoon we went to Family Weekend for Paul's work, where we got to eat and hang out with his work friends at Freedom Park. It was a lot of fun! It was the first time most of them had seen me since they found out I was pregnant, so everyone was excited and asked lots of questions. It was fun getting to tell everyone that it is boy! Makes it seem so much more real. And I am very excited that now I know I will be buying blue... makes shopping more fun.

Amber was there with her little Kaitlyn who is a little over 1, it was fun to get to play with her and be around kids more. She was so cute and running everywhere. Oh man, can just see my little boy being just like that when he is her age!

Guess what it's a...

BOY!!!

So today was my 12 week sonogram and it did not go any way like I expected First of all everything looks like it is developing exactly as expected. Second of all it's a boy! So happy I got to find out this early just hard having to tell Paul over the phone, wish he could have been there.

The other thing that was so amazing is how much he looks like a baby. He has little arms, leg, fingers, toes, and even a cute little nose - so different from last time. At the last sonogram at 8 weeks I could not tell anything. The other amazing part was that I could see him moving all around. I was so much fun to watch him move his little arms and legs. He rolled over, covered his face with his hands, and kicked his feet. The other great part is that the reason for the sonogram was to make sure he did not have spina bifida and he does not.

So looks like we have a healthy little baby BOY!!!
