Getting Close

Got to see this sweet baby again through an ultrasound. Pretty soon we will get to meet him in person. :) Trying to wait patiently for that day! I didn't have a late pregnancy ultrasound with Caden so it was interesting to have one this time. The kicks are so much stronger now than they were at the 20 week ultrasound. Whenever I saw him kicking or moving an arm on the screen, I could feel it too! It was almost as if I could look inside my belly by being able to see and feel him at the same time. I had to have an ultrasound at 35 weeks because the Dr. thought he was getting big and wanted a better measurement. She was right! He is measuring in at 3 weeks and 3 days big weighing approximately 8lbs. 1oz. already! (The ultrasound tech said the weight could be +/- 3/4lb.) I am also 1-2 cm dilated. Going to the Dr. every week now so I guess she will keep a close watch to see how big he is getting.

Since we are getting so close to meeting baby Noah (as big brother calls him) we went to the park today to get a few pictures. Mommy and Caden ran around in the grass as Daddy played photographer. Here are a few of those pictures.

Frustrated

Getting really tired of changing sheets every day...

Dear Caden,

Please stop taking your clothes off and wetting the bed when you go down for a nap. It is not a fun game.

Love, Mommy

Sweet moment

I have tried to let Caden feel my belly when the baby is moving before but whenever I put his hand in the right place the baby stops kicking and Caden is not patient enough to wait for him to kick again. Yesterday the baby was moving and kicking quite a bit and Caden happen to look at me and he noticed my belly moving all around and the look on his face was priceless. He thought it was the funniest thing and immediately bent over my belly and started talking to the baby. He said, "Hi Noah! We waiting for you to come out" then gave my belly a few sweet kisses.
