Oct. 30th, 2008 Excited cousins... 24 weeks
















It's hard to believe I'm already 24 weeks...the time passes so quickly. I had a great time hanging out this week with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and three nephews while all of our husbands were on their annual elk hunt. We make it our annual "girlie" get together when the boys are gone. It's always so much fun.

The minute I saw my nephews Cade was interested in saying hello to his future cousin. He lifted my shift up, pointed at my bellybutton and said "Me see your baby!" Way too cute. Mom had to eventually remind all the boys that the belly they wanted to see was Aunt Melissa's belly and that they needed to ask permission before lifting my shirt up (o: Cade thinks my belly button is one of the baby's toes.

Sister-in-law Lori was also excited to feel him move. Of course, he'd quite down and hide away whenever she'd try and lay her hands on him. I told her soon he'll be big enough he won't have the room to hide from her. She did get to feel him a couple times. I told her how much I appreciated the excitement she had about me being pregnant. It makes me anticipate heading down to California for Thanksgiving to see my family that much more; so they can share in the excitement with me. I can't wait for mom to feel him move. Give him another month of growth and he'll be pokin' me all over!

I included some pics of us (me and the nephews) at Grandma Marsha's house while they stayed over.

Jan. 25th, 2010 Not long before he'll be running!

William's been progressively showing us how he's learning to walk on his own; no mommy or daddy's hands to hold onto. It's pretty cute, cause he'll look at something he wants that's a ways away and just stare like he's thinking about how to get there. Then, he'll just take off and see how far he can get before he falls. I finally captured a few moments on camera...(okay, so I couldn't figure out how to get them right side up. It's not like I shot them sideways!...so sorry)

March 25th, 2009 First SMILE! 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days

Image
William has given us a few "for real" smiles over the last couple days. Not the ones that come across his face while he's sleeping (from either gas or a dream about his mamma's milk), but the ones that tell us he's starting to focus and respond more to our voices. I was at home alone when he did it for the first time. He fixed his gaze on me while I was talking to him and smiling at him and after he looked like he was thinking about it for awhile, he did it...he smiled! It made me so happy inside and I had no one to share it with-not even a picture to prove it! It's neat how something so little can be something so BIG. Since then he's charmed dad with his smile. I finally caught some on the camera today. He gets all excited and starts moving around a lot so some have some blurry hands in them. His head is a bit cut off as I was taking the pictures myself and didn't realize it until he was done smiling. You can still see how cute he is though

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!
