Baby Pool Time!

Well we know Baby Z. is a boy, but when will he arrive and how big will he be???

Make your guess below! Good luck!

Here are Luke & Paige's stats for comparison:

Luke - born 5 days early
7 lbs. 9 oz.
20.5 inches

Paige - born 1 week early
8 lbs. 5 oz.
19.5 inches

Halfway There & Other Happenings

It's hard to believe I am halfway through this pregnancy! Just 20 weeks (or less) to go!

20 weeks

I delivered both Luke and Paige at 39 weeks (Luke was at 39 weeks 2 days and Paige was at exactly 39 weeks so we'll see what this baby has planned!

I feel really good, which is so crazy to say. I definitely have a lot more energy these days - I can even make it for a 9 PM tv show a few nights a week :) I have no aches and pains yet and FINALLY within the last couple of days I have felt the baby move more regularly. I was feeling flutters here and there for a few weeks, but the kicks and rolling are definitely happening more often! Thank goodness because it defnitely helps ease the paranoia I have this pregnancy. And my belly has definitely popped recently!

As you know we had our ultrasound last Friday and I do believe we have a healthy baby boy! The tech didn't say much other than the baby was measuring on time. My next doctor's appointment is on the 18th so I will get more information, but they would have called if anything serious came up.

While the tech was getting the measurements she was laughing because she said the baby was moving, but it's legs were glued together. I could only picture the baby moving like a mermaid in there - which is actually really funny because Paige wants to name the baby Ariel (if it was a girl of course)! The baby must have opened it's legs and the tech said she was 90% sure she knew the sex. Is 90% enough to move forward with getting rid of girl clothes??? I am hesitant still, but am hoping my doctor can provide confirmation or let me know if I will be having another ultrasound (which I don't expect as long as everything is good!). Wally and I have discussed doing an elective 3D ultrasound, but we'll see...

In other news, we can check something else off our list - Luke and Paige got into the Catholic School we were hoping for! We have been waiting over a month to hear so it is a relief to know that we have that all set.

20 weeks

And this little doggy has been cuddling up with me every night on the couch. I remember her doing that when I was pregnant with Luke and Paige. Those dogs just know don't they. Now, whether she is truly happy about it is another story!

And these two...they have been inseparable lately :) More to come on that!

It was a...

PARTY....where we found out if Baby Z. #3 was a boy or a girl!

We had our anatomy scan last Friday morning and asked the tech if she could tell the sex, to write it on the notecard and put it in the envelope. (More details on the scan later this week if I can get myself back in front of the computer!).

Then the wait began! Friday morning to Sunday at noon is a long time :)

Friday morning to Sunday at noon was a long time to wait, but I truly wanted to be surprised! Some random worker at Party City was the first to know whether we were having a boy or girl - she filled our giant black balloon with either pink or blue confetti!

Luke said it was a "pink and blue" party!

I asked our families to wear blue or pink, whichever they think!

Here is Team Blue!

And Team Pink!

We couldn't wait to see if a boy or a girl would complete our family!

IMG_1806_2.jpg

As you can see, Luke was Team Blue! He was all about a little brother, but we have been telling him for awhile that whatever God put in Mommy's belly would be perfect for our family! He seemed to understand that, but I was a little worried about his reaction if pink confetti came out of the balloon.

And Paige, well she loves pink and kept saying the baby was a girl, but she is still little enough that she will be ok with either sex.

So the time was finally here - time to POP the balloon! (Excuse my face with a giant piece of the balloon flying at my head - ha!)

This was such a fun way for all of us to find out! 

Here is some video of the reveal!
