My precious little man turned 1 on Saturday!

We are so lucky to have him in our lives. He makes me smile every day, even when I am feeling bad.

We love you so much little love!

His goofy grin - How could you not love him!?!

(Will have more when Crit downloads them for me )

Opening cards.

Opening presents.

Not exactly thrilled with the cake!

So we had a Level II ultrasound yesterday.

We had decided not to find out the gender of the baby, but I just *knew* it was a girl and came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be a surprise so we should just find out anyway.

The u/s was very detailed and the baby looked perfect. We saw both kidneys, the heart, spine, legs, brain, bladder, stomach, everything. It was a great u/s.

The tech had asked us in the beg. if we wanted to know the sex and I said yes. Well half way through there was a clear shot of ‘down there’ and both Ricky and I saw a penis! The tech hadn’t said anything yet, she was still going through everything so we just looked at each other and Ricky said “I think that’s a penis” but I kinda just ignored it. I was so nervous and couldn’t wait to find out if it was a penis……I was still convinced GIRL.

Well at the end she looked properly and there in all it’s glory was a penis! There was no mistaking it. Still I said “So it’s a boy?, I was convinced it was a girl” Nope she said, definitely a boy! I couldn’t believe it….utterly shocked and so happy! I can’t believe I get another boy….I had tears in my eyes I was so happy.

We are so lucky!

I had a check-up yesterday.

They seem to think via the ultrasound that I am due 8.31.08 but I am sticking with 9.5.08 for now.

My weight is just awful 147lbs….I seriously can’t believe it. I am still under what I started at due to the vomiting, but wow I am huge. I am so glad this is our last baby and I will lose weight after…..there is no way I am staying this big.

I got blood drawn for the AFP test and have a Level II ultrasound scheduled for March 26. We don’t want to find out the gender…so I need strong willpower not to just say “yes, tell us!”

Yesterday I took the kids to Becky’s mom’s pool. Kyne’s first time in a pool….he seemed to like it, but got a little cold after about 15 minutes….plus he wouldn’t let go of my neck for anything. The pool is heated but it was a little chilly still, even with the hot sun. Tayah went in 1 time and freaked out…so that was the end of that. It was fun hanging out though.

I hear Kyne awake from his nap, which didn’t last more than an hour (never does these days). I managed to mop the floor before he woke up but that’s it. He screams if I leave him in the front room alone recently, so I doubt I will get any more cleaning done! Ugh!

Yep, our little man will be 1 in less than 3 weeks….wow the time has flown by. And to think that soon he will be a big brother….now that amazes me even more. My precious baby-boy will no longer be the baby

He is so incredibly smart. He says even more words now than before and has mastered walking perfectly.

He has this funny, goofy grin that he pulls when I get the camera out, here is a pic:

He adores his brother and sister, calls their names constantly and gives hugs on demand.

I can’t wait for all my family to meet him in May…
