Growing Belly = Exhaustion

So that little baby belly has made its appearance earlier with this pregnancy. I haven't told the kids in class yet, but I'm pretty sure that some of them have figured it out just because my belly is right at their level. I started feeling small movements for this pregnancy at 12 weeks and feel slightly stronger movements now at 14 weeks, but nothing consistent yet. Luke told me today that there are 2 babies in there - one boy and one girl. He's apparently joined the evergrowing twins crusade. This week has been hard coming off of spring break where we all got plenty of sleep. I'm somehow still awake at 9:00, but I was ready to fall asleep as soon as I got home from work. We looked at 2 houses today though the idea of moving seems surreal at the moment, it is a definite possibility. Well, I guess 9:00 is good enough - time for sleep now.

Moving and Shaking

So I felt our new little bundle doing summersaults at about 5am today! Granted I did want to be sleeping, but it was exciting to feel non-the-less. Oddly, I felt the baby higher than I would expect for 13 weeks - I know our ultrasound only showed one baby, but I keep trying to convince Matt that there are two in there! To feed my silliness, a coworker has dreams of me having twins or even triplets!

Gabe finally decided that crawling with his knees is a more efficient means of transportation. He's also pulling up on everything and so close to walking - I'd guess a matter of weeks. It's hard to believe that he turns 1 next month!

Luke is loving the spring weather! He would have lived outside today if I'd let him. Even Gabe enjoys his time outside.

Spring Break

Spring break has finally arrived! We have no big plans, just hanging out and cleaning up the house. Matt's sister, Beth, called yesterday to announce that their baby boy had arrived. Jackson Scott was born 7 lb 8oz and everyone is doing well.

In other news, Gabe has actually started to crawl using his knees part of the time. He's also more interested in pulling upright and walking while holding onto our hands.

Luke's focus has shifted to outdoor activities. He just can't wait until it's summer outside!

New baby seems to be growing just fine and the nausea has been gone for a few weeks. I'm hoping to recover some energy over break. Other people are having dreams of twins for me...not sure about that idea. The first ultrasound only showed 1 baby though.

Children's Museum

The boys and I made the trip up to the Children's Museum to meet up with Aunt Jenny and Grandma. Matt was sick at home so I was traveling alone with the two boys. This would have been fine, but Gabe decided that he does NOT like being in his carseat and fussed/screamed all the way there and all the way home! He was perfectly happy while at the museum though. In fact, he enjoyed the Planetarium show as much as the older kids. Gabe was facinated with everything around him and Luke wanted to spend all of his time on the carousel and train display.
