22 weeks along

Dr. Anderson has now up'd my due date to December 20th. According to my level 2 ultrasound from last week, I was measuring a few days earlier than expected.

The ultrasound was great. Everything was looking good. My BP has still been significantly lower than before. FINALLY...normal blood pressure.

Konnor's 1st concert - HI-5

Konnor LOVES Hi-5 from TLC. It's an everyday ritual for him to watch it on tv every morning, then again during the day and sometimes before bedtime. He has been watching them since he was about 3 1/2 or 4 months old. I remember putting him in his bouncer with the tv on Hi-5 while I showered in the mornings. It's wonderful that he still likes the show. He loves listening, dancing and singing along with the show and the CD in the car as well.


When I found out they were touring and would be in San Diego, I told Kevin we HAD to take Konnor! The day had come and I was more excited to take him than he was. Especially that he didn't quite understand...until we got there!



We spent the day being "tourists" in San Diego. We went to Seaport Village. Took a walk along the waterfront, took the ferry ride to Coronado and just enjoyed the sunny San Diego weather. Konnor enjoyed it too.


We got to the Spreckel's theater in San Diego. We waited in the lobby for the doors to open. I never imagined so many other kids would be there. Konnor was a bit overwhelmed too. When the doors opened, we went straight to our seats. We had mezzanine seats, row 1, seats dead center! PERFECT! Konnor noticed the stage was set up just like the tv show. He then started to get excited. As soon as they came out.....Konnor was literally "star struck"! He was so amazed that they were live, in person and not on our tv. He danced, smiled so big, clapped his hands and stared. He paid such close attention through the whole 2 hour show!



Next....Doodlebops in February, which we missed this past March since it was the same weekend as his 1st birthday party. This will be part of his 2nd birthday present. AND...DISNEYDLAND! :-)


Below are some photos and video clips. ENJOY!

Konnor is my E.T.

I caught Konnor in his room today....he was sitting in his shelf with the rest of his stuffed animals. I laughed and ran and got the camera. It reminded me of E.T.! He thought it was funny too.

Konnor is learning his ABC's

It's the cutest thing! He is learning his ABC's...although he can only say them to his E's. He is starting to repeat it when we say it.

Other than learning his ABC's his new thing has constantly been saying "OH NO"...or "OH OH". Funny enough, he uses them at the right time. I can tell when he's done something wrong. Usually he'll even take me to where he did a "Oh no". Most of the time it's that he dropped something, made a mess of something.

20 weeks along!!!

We've made it...we're half way through the pregnancy. We're excited to start decorating Baby's room and getting things ready. Luckily he will have plenty of clothes, toys and all the extras from Big Brother Konnor. But that's not fair to get all hand me downs....he'll need fun, new things of his own too! I can't wait to SHOP!

The pregnancy is going fine. A few aches and pains on some days, but it's been easier than my pregnancy with Konnor. My appetite has been considerably different. I've craved sweets a lot. I'm afraid to go in for my glucose testing! No weight gain since my first appointment. Hopefully this pregnancy weight will go like it did with Konnor. I didn't gain throughout my pregnancy until the end. Even that was only a total of 13lbs.

And the results are in.....

...we had our ultrasound today and we're having a BOY!!!!

To my astonishment, my Mother's intuition felt we were having a girl this time. All that matters is that we have a wonderful, healthy and happy baby..boy or girl!

We're excited to finally know the sex of the baby. Now we can plan, decorate and shop! Actually, Kevin says we don't need to buy anything new...but being a woman..of course I want to be able to shop for some new things. Technically we have most of the basics still. I'm more so just excited to be able to start decorating the spare room we have that will become Baby #2's room. We've got ideas on decor and names, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Stay tuned.....

4th of July 2007

Today is our 1 year anniversary since coming back from Arizona. We spent the day in Poway at a bbq with friends. Konnor enjoyed every minute of it, playing with other kids and enjoying being outdoors. Daddy had to work, unfortunately.

At night we went to Auntie Joan's house for a 4th of July celebration. We watched the Temecula Fireworks from her house as well as did firecrackers. (Shhhh...don't tell anyone. ha ha) Konnor was amazed at the colorful sky as well as the sounds and colors and crackling of the firecrackers. We thought he'd be scared, but he watched with such amazement. He even clapped after each firecracker was done.
