Week 21

I just completed week 21 of my pregnancy.  We’re half way there!  I can’t believe how fast it’s going.  We had the “big” ultrasound this week and the baby is in the 85th percentile for size and I’m measuring a week ahead.  I was thrilled to find out I hadn’t gained any weight since my December appointment.  I’m a little excited to have another ultrasound done at 30 weeks; the doctor wants to check some other things, nothing serious.  The baby looked wonderful and it was so hard not to find out the gender, but we stayed strong!  Dr. Hearn was excited to hear that he will get to make the big announcement in the delivery room.  Baker will make the announcement to the family.   We’re not any closer to coming up with names, but I have found the perfect bedding for the nursery!  We’re going with black, grays and browns….basically the colors that are already in the guest room. 

Oh…Baker!

The older Baker gets, the more her personality shows!  Even though she test us as parents every day, there’s not a thing I would change about her.  Especially when she tells me at least ten times a day “Mommy, I love you soooo much!”She makes us laugh every day!  She is a very strong willed child and very opinionated. Hints her selection of outfits!  A few of her quotes this week:  After telling Baker she could have a cupcake, “Mommy, you lost your mind!”  As we’re getting ready for church, she comes running into the bathroom crying “Mommy, daddy is not being a nice boy.  He won’t let me do what I want!” 

 

As soon as Baker gets home from daycare, she runs to her room and changes clothes multiple times.  I asked her what I should do to stop her from changing clothes all evening she told me that I “should lock up her clothes”.  Like I said…she makes us laugh everyday!

Baker and Daddy Day!

Our number one goal this weekend was to take down all our Christmas decorations.  It’s one of those chores Lacy and I dread doing.  However, it made me happy to think that next Christmas we’ll have a 6 month old addition to our family!  

Lacy decided to take Baker with him on an errand to Home Depot.  They arrived just in time for the Kids Workshop Lesson!  Baker was so proud of the “Saving Shed” her and her daddy built. 

Week 18

 

This weekend was beautiful and Lacy set Baker’s easel up outside.  She had so much fun painting a picture of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus.  That’s what she named her painting.  I had a hard time making out what it was, but she was very clear in explaining it to me! 

When I was pregnant with Baker I documented the pregnancy with monthly pictures.  With this pregnancy half way over I thought it might be time to get started!  Baby Williams is due June 3rd, just 2 days after I finish school.  Perfect timing!  Baker was 2 weeks early, so we’ll see if this baby makes it to June!  We are not finding out the sex of the baby.  It’s going to be hard, but what a surprise it will be on delivery day!
