Well today I had an ultrasound to check things out and make sure I haven't had any dilation and things looked great- totally normal and secure! (At 23 weeks last pregnancy I had already started dilating due to pre-term labor and I was put on bed rest.) During the ultrasound the baby kept doing flips- it was so cool to watch. More good news is that his positioning and that of the placenta and everything is also advantageous for the c-section that I will have. So far, so good!

This is Bellatrix, the newest addition to our family. I know, I know, but look at her! She is an 8.5 week old Labradoodle- her mom was a fox red Labrador and her dad was an apricot Standard Poodle. This breed is supposed to be the ultimate family dog- and so far I agree! She is so good with Kaden (and he LOVES his new playmate), and she is very smart and obedient already (she minds better than Kaden usually- I only have to say things once). She likes to make sure we're all in the same room, and if Kaden wanders off, she takes off after him to bring him back.

Well I am officially over winter- I am glad it snowed a lot, so let's just call it good and bring on the warm weather. We are tired of being cooped up in the house and getting sick every other week. Kaden has had little bouts of sickness seriously every couple of weeks since November. Luckily they've been pretty minor- but still annoying! He has a cold and fevers this week and now I think I've finally caught it- not fun. I can't wait until we're better and can start getting out and about again.

We had our 20 week ultrasound today and found out that baby #2 is a BOY! His size, organs, and everything are in order and it looks really positive. He has plenty of room in my weirdo womb and everything looks secure. We are ecstatic!
Here's his profile:

Well the C-town gang met up for our annual New Years Eve party and it was great! We really miss living so close to all of our good friends. We started off with a prime rib dinner- yum! Then we played games and acted dumb until midnight by which time we were all pretty much out for the count...we're getting old! The Barneys, Landvatters, Hennessys, and Kents were there.D and the Landvatters enjoying dinner!
