Ultrasound

I have so much to post from our busy-but-fabulous weekend but I couldn't wait another moment to post these!

Today we had our 20 week ultrasound for Baby Cinco.  Our tech got great pictures of our little guy/gal!  Here's a shot of Cinco's face. 

Cinco is measuring a little bigger than average.  Instead of 20 weeks and 1 day, Cinco is measuring in at 20 weeks and 5 days.  He or she is also weighing in at 14 ounces {a little bigger than the 10 ounce average}.  Nothing so outrageous that our due date will be changing but my chunky babies always make me smile!
Here's a profile shot.  The tech made the comment that Cinco is really curled up in there.  :)  Apparently the fuzzy spot in front of it's nose is a foot!  Talk about a limber little thing!

The typical spinal shot they give you.  The kids love this one.  They think it looks like a dinosaur!

I thought this was a unique angle.  I'm pretty sure we've never had one of these.  I told the kids that it's like someone taking a picture of their back/head while they were doing a somersault.  They pretended to get it.  ;)

So all in all, everything is looking good so far!  The best we can tell, we have a healthy baby boy or girl coming sometime at the end of January/beginning of February.  Praise the Lord!

Baby Cinco - 19 Weeks

Baby Cinco @ 19 weeks.  I can't believe this pregnancy is half over already {since our babies are usually a week early with c-sections}!  Of course, the best is yet to come.  Cinco is moving during the day but I know as he/she gets bigger I'll just feel it that much more and that's my favorite part - at least until they're born!  This has been such an amazingly easy pregnancy up to this point for us...what are the chances that Cinco will be a just as easy going baby??  Could we be that lucky?  Only time will tell!

Jason and I also had a great talk last night {that happens a lot after Catholic Moms meetings!}.  I suggested we hold off on Eli's carpet {that I was very set on replacing before moving him back into his room since it has splashes of paint on it} and wait until Spring break to replace it.  Jason has just taken on another obligation that he will start next week and with everything else he has to do before Christmas {the girls' bed has to be finished and there are Christmas gifts to be made}, I just figured the carpet should wait.  Call it nesting or whatever you want but I want these kids settled in before Baby Cinco gets here!  I'm pretty done with kids sleeping in my living room!  They've done great with it but it really puts a crimp in our evenings - no TV, no lights on in the living room, can't really put things away, etc.
So, me being a nerd, what do I do?  I moved Eli's furniture back into his room this morning and got the living room back in order, while watching the girls and Wyatt.  It probably wasn't the smartest thing I've done.  :)  I could tell by lunch time I had overdone it {I have never had that feeling!} but by then it was too late!  I was exhausted, my back was sore, and there wasn't time to just sit.  Even Jason was a little annoyed with me when he got home and was able to see what all I had done and I don't think that has ever happened!  So, oops.  I'll try to quit while I'm ahead in the future!
Eli was excited to sleep in his room tonight.  It's not "done" but I will post pictures of it sometime in the near future {progress is progress!}.  He's very pumped about the paint job his daddy did and the Spiderman stick-ups he got for his birthday back in March.  His bedspread really pops and I can only imagine how cool it will be once the Spiderman curtains are up!
Happy Wednesday everyone!
