Max missed his last school pict so I was determined he would get his photo take at school. I love love love this sweater on him but it took some convensing.

Max and Mommy day - was such a great morning!

First Ultrasound

March 30, 2012 I went to my first prenatal appointment last friday and got to hear the babies heartbeat. They are certain there is a baby in there! Thank goodness it's just one,not sure if we could handle twins. It was exciting to see the baby and hear the heartbeat and to hear that the baby was measuring the correct size and the heart beat is the correct speed. I was alone this time but thanks to the iphone I was able to video the ultrasound session and e-mail it to Ben and other family members. We were remmaniesing about Max's ultrasound and how we recorded it on one of those frames like you get at Halmark. Then we recorded it from the frame to the palm pilot and eventually Ben put it on a web page. We still have the frame with Max's little ultrasound photo in there. Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant. The day gets busy and I get busy and then I remember. I didn't believe it was going to happen - not sure why - just didn't. It doesn't mean much - I never thought I would graduate hight school just couldn't see it in my future but I did! I think that's why this baby making thing takes 9 months - need some time to get use to the idea! I hope it's a girl. I think the baby might be a girl but we don't know for sure. I keep finding myself saying She, her, etc. Ben does the same thing. Not Max he is unsure and a little unsure of how all this is going to effect him. He wasn't to know if we can do stuff together without the baby sometimes. Poor kid will have to give up 1/2 his room and 1/2 his toys to make room for her - i mean the baby :) So I have to make sure we don't make it a negative thing and try to keep it all very positive and include Max in some of the decisions about where she can sleep and keep her stuff. (see what I mean I can't help it she, her etc.) Also I need to pick up some books on big brothers if you know any good ones. I'll upload the ultrasound video asap. it's a bit long and we talk a little bit about some fibroid but you can stop it before it gets to that part. :D
