Happy 23 Weeks - and Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Daniel and Mommy are up early watching cartoons while Daddy sleeps in a little (since Mommy got to have off Veteran's day!).

So what's new...hmmm...well you've definitely been growing more and more, and getting your move on! You're pretty low, so every kick seems like you're going to punch out through the bottom. I'm sure that's not going to happen, but it's still sort of weird. You're most active at night while we're watching TV, and pretty quiet during the day.

Next week we have another appointment (24 week or "6 month" appointment) where we have the big glucose test. Not really looking forward to that, although you'll probably enjoy it more...giving you fuel to jump around like a jumping bean!

The week after starts some traveling! Your first time on a plane will be on the inside! We're going to San Antonio for a meeting, and leaving Daniel and Daddy to bachelor it up for a few days. Then right after we get back we're going to see Grandma and Grandpa Stone's house for early Christmas and a wedding! That one all of us are going on!

So definitely exciting (and busy!) things to come! Already getting your registry started and all of that good stuff...stay cozy and warm inside! :)

The 17 Week Checkin!

Well, little baby, you've had lots of excitement over the past few weeks. First we went to Las Vegas (all of us!) for a wedding. You aren't on the outside yet, but you've traveled far!

Then came doctor's appointment (just a checkup!) when we got back. Mommy's gained one pound so far (woohoo!) and we had a blood test to check for the open spine defects (negative!). So far so good there! Your heartbeat was about 154!

Then we did a breast cancer walk, where Mommy did a number on her feet (with blisters)! Later in the week, we had the TGen retreat and went for a little jaunt on Chase Field afterwards. Daniel had a blast running around on the field and kicking the baseball that a security guard gave him.

Which brings us to this weekend...we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa (Coon) and went to the park. Train rides, merry-go-rounds and splash pads! You're going to love it when you get big enough to do that with your brother!

Anyway, you are 17 weeks and 2 days today...and 4 days away from us knowing if you are a boy or a girl! It's a big week coming up!!!
