Have I Mentioned......?

Have I mentioned how much I love this little boy? I spend every day, all day with him and I just can't get enough of him. Yes, things are getting busier and messier, and quite a bit more active but he is still the cutest, sweetest, best little boy in the whole world. And have I mentioned how cute he is???? :)

So, Pete and I are traveling to CA on Saturday to spend a couple weeks with family and friends. It was a last minute trip through a friend of mine whose husband works for Southwest and I am flying standby all the way there. I am very excited. I have wanted my family and friends to get to know our sweet little boy and now I have my chance. I won't say I am not nervous to travel with him across the country though. He is a very active boy and I can tell sitting on an airplane for 5 hours (and a hour layover in Denver) is not going to be a lot of fun, for him or for me. We went to my doctor's appointment today and he didn't want to sit in his car seat for a half hour, not sure how we are going to do this, but we are. And I am very sad to be leaving P. for 2 weeks. I love spending time with my husband and look forward to seeing him every day. It's going to be hard to be away from him and I am sure Pete will miss him too. He is a great dad and Pete has a lot of fun with him.

I had my doctors appointment a little early because I am leaving for a couple weeks. So it was today. I am almost 14 weeks along and have my 20 weeks ultrasound in exactly 6 weeks from today. March 26 we will get to see our little baby again and hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl. I can't wait! My best friend Kristyn and I are going to do the drano test again when I am home so we will see what it says.....

I lost another 2 lbs. I was sure I had gained weight this time because I have been feeling better and eat all day long. But no, today I was 154 lbs. Started in Dec at 159. That's ok, it will all catch up to me soon enough. The baby's heart rate was 160 and I asked, does that mean girl, and my doctor said, not necessarily, it is always high in the beginning. Guess we will know in 6 weeks. So everything looked good and we are all set for our trip to CA.

I better go start packing and doing some laundry. Lot's to do before Sat. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from this week. Like I said, he is getting messy! And the bigger he gets the more CD's he can pull out from the rack. Today he pulled out more than half of the rack. Enjoy and hopefully I will have some time in CA to post an update. If I don't, pray for safe and smooth travels for Pete and I.
