Tumbling Classes at 21 Weeks

Baby Boy Hudson is now enrolled in tumbling classes. He likes to tickle my belly all day long at work. I think he is working on his agility skills for basketball and volleyball. Since he is so active during the day do you think he will be a good sleeper at night when he is born? Let's hope so... Our fingers are crossed on that one.

I forgot to mention this last week, but we are officially past the half way mark!!

It's a Boy!!

It looks like it will be blue for us! I am excited, but Ben is REALLY excited. He is already talking about teaching him how to hunt and fish. At least he will have three boy cousins to look up to and play with. Boys, boys, boys!! The doctor said he looks healthy and all of his measurements have him at 19 weeks and 5 days. He supposedly weighs about 10 1/2 ounces and is about 6 1/2 inches from head to heel (about the length of a banana). They are going to keep our due date at February 16th. Our little baby boy was moving like crazy during the ultrasound. He started out breach, but by the end of the appointment had flipped around. I have a feeling he is going to be an active little guy. I'm sure he will keep us on our toes...

I am feeling great. I'm finally wearing some maternity pants. Boy are they comfortable. Ben is jealous and wants a pair in his size. He calls them my "mommy pants". I'll post a pic of my growing belly soon.

Second Trimester Here We Come...

Whew!! What a relief to brush my teeth in the morning without getting sick. I'm still in my old clothes, but my dress pants are now being fastened by rubberbands to allow a few extra inches around the middle. I'm feeling well and glad to have some energy back. I'm actually starting to feel like cooking dinner again.

Baby Update: Baby Hudson is now 3 1/2 inches - about the size of a lemon - and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. It can now squint, frown, and grimace.

Oh Baby!!

That's right! God decided it was finally the right time for Ben and I to become parents. We are completely ecstatic and can't wait. The baby even moved his/her head up and down for us during the ultrasound. February 16th will be here before we know it.
