Still waiting.

Hopefully any day now.

Kangaroo Claws

Last night I had a dream that if the light hit my belly just right you could see right through it. It was amazing and disturbing. Our little boy was SO cute and looked big and ready to come out. His feet were adorable, but he had kangaroo claws for toenails. I watched Real TV right before bed and it showed a guy getting attacked by a kangaroo and all his gashes all over him. I'm gonna rely on this picture and the absence of kangaroo claws on my other four babies.

I'm really enjoying being pregnant and feeling him move. I'm trying really hard to savor that feeling. At the same time I am getting very anxious to see, hold, nurse and snuggle this little guy.

Just as I suspected...

weak abdominal muscles!

(refer back to previous post)

and one very well endowed bundle of joy!!!!

half way there!

I'm pretty big for being only 20 weeks.

Tomorrow we'll find out if it's a lack of abdominal muscles (most likely) or if there are two (I doubt it).

I'm kind of hoping for the latter.

We are still arguing about whether to find out or not.

Chris wants to know and I prefer being surprised at the birth.

We've both had our way twice each.

We'll see how tough I really am tomorrow at 4pm.

Last night.

"Come on kids, time for family prayer!"
(everybody comes and kneels)

Chris: "Mom has something to tell you."
Me: (big grin) "I have a baby in my tummy!"
Taylor: "Are you serious! Do you really?!"
Peyton: "I wanna see!"
Ellie: "Is it a girl?"
Preston: "No it's a boy!"
Me: "We don't know what it is yet."
Taylor: "If it's a girl, what are you going to name her?"
Me: "I don't know."
Ellie: "Name her Katelyn!"
Taylor: "I thought you liked Kody?"
Me: "I do, but I don't know anymore."
Taylor: "What if it's a boy?"
Preston: "Name him Preston!" (big laugh)
Chris: "Preston number 2!"
Me: "We don't know yet. Guess when we found out?"
Taylor: "When?"
Me: "The day before dad and I went to Disneyland!"
Taylor: "Are you serious?! You kept it a secret that long?!"
Me: "Yes, we wanted to wait until the time felt right. And guess what else? The baby is due 5 days after Kim's baby!" (Sept. 14th)

It was a fun conversation! Our kids were so cute and excited. We are so happy and can't wait to meet our baby #5!!!
