Our Little Sweetheart at 10 and 13 weeks!

This first shot is of Baby Valentine at 10 weeks along! We call him or her "Baby Valentine" or "Little Sweetheart" because the due date is February 22, 2011... one short week after Valentine's Day! We could call the baby "Baby Justin" since it also happens to be my brother Justin's birthday... but "Justin" doesn't seem very gender neutral! ;) Oh, and for anyone who doesn't already know, we won't be finding out the gender of the baby! We're shootin' for a surprise... I haven't decided if this idea is fun or just plain stupid... I'm kind of a planner in case you didn't know... so I'm not too great with suprises... with the exception of my surprise "Christmas in August" birthday party last year! That officially ROCKED!

Okay, back to our Sweetheart! He or she was measuring right on target at 10 weeks and was still managing to make me EVER SO sleepy from the moment I found out I was pregnant!
This next picture is of our Little Sweetheart at 13 weeks... less alien, more human! Very cool to see! As my belly grows... and it has been a growin' since day one... I'll get some belly shots up for good memory! In the meantime, I'm enjoying the return of my energy in this second trimester!


The kids are growing increasingly more aware of babies and taking care of them! They "feed" the baby through my belly button and make endless promises to change diapers and sing or read to baby and give him/her a bath! It is beyond heartwarming to see their excitement grow with ours... and the many kisses to my belly... and prayers for the "baby in Mommy's tummy" are absolutely priceless! :)


I'm currently 17 weeks along, with my next appointment on September 30th! The kids are already looking forward to it! The last time we went to the ultrasound, the kids couldn't stop talking about how the baby was "swimming around like a tuna fish!" ... and he or she really was cutting a rug in there... best of all, I can feel it now! :)
