I just found out I am employee of the year at my job! I am a little shocked.

We had our 5 month visit yesterday and everything looks great!

Up 5 more pounds for a total of 10# not too bad. This time last pregnancy I was up 12 or 13#.

The ultrasound person saw the gender of the baby and it was soooooo tempting to ask her what the baby is. I had to hurry out of the room.

My daughter broke her binky on Sunday, so now we are going without. I know it is time she is 25 months old, but I miss it already. Bed time went fine Sunday but Monday no nap and she cried and complained in the car. Monday night wasn’t bad, but remember she had no nap. I can’t wait to hear a report from the sitter about nap time today. I heard it takes a week to get over the binky.

20 weeks! I can't believe that I am half way done.
The baby is now the size of a banana!

Crazy people bother me.

I am tired of caring how much weight I gain. I am pregnant I need to get over it. If you hear me complaining about gaining weight please feel free to give me a smack. Seriously I should be enjoying every bite after all I can’t drink. That is it! I will not weight myself anymore!!!!! Look how cute this little baby is.

Samantha has been bussy.

Samantha had fun playing outside with her dad in her hole.

Sam asked to have her picture taken by the water.

She thinks that dino is going to eat her cookie (that is why she put it all in her mouth at once).

Sam new favorite thing ICE CREAM. She is mine after all.

Samantha had a GREAT 2nd Birthday party.

Sam's party

Don't mind the singing.

You know you are pregnant when sauerkraut smells so good you want to eat it out of the can.

Sam had a good time at the St. Louis Art Museum on Sunday.

Your Baby: Practicing Breathing
The fetus weighs in at almost 1 ounce (28 g), and measures around 3 1/2 inches (8.9 cm) in length. Generally during this week, the fetus may start growing hair on the head and other places such as the eyebrows. If it is a girl, her ovaries already have eggs inside. For boys, this is when the prostate gland develops.

Last Sunday we went to the park for a little fun.

Message for Grandma and Grandpa

I just found out I can order a different color cover for Sam's pink car seat. That seals the deal we are not finding out the gender of this baby. I did find a few cool red and gray car seats that could go either way.
