Thanksgiving and 21 weeks

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Browers. Scott and Melanie just added a huge beautiful kitchen to their house this year so we ate there. The food was delicious, seriously probably the best Thanksgiving dinner we have ever had. After dinner we watched movies and played puzzles. It was so much fun and nice to relax with everyone. Sadly these are the only pictures I got. I am also 21 weeks this week. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

20 week ultrasound video

This was our 20 week ultrasound. It is very long. But there are some cool shots. Baby girl was not being very cooperative and was trying to sleep so about half way through you can tell that the ultrasound tech was pushing at my stomach to get her to move. About 9 minutes into it she had me lay on my side to see if that would help. That didn't help much. We were not able to get a good look at her heart so we got to go back 4 weeks later for another ultrasound. I am not sure why the sound doesn't work on hear when we hear the heartbeat.

20 weeks

I decided that I wanted to take a picture every week or at least every month to see the progress of the growing belly. This is something that I completely forgot to do the first time around and I regret it. I have very few pictures of my belly the first time around except for the awesome ones my friend Emily did for us just three weeks before Mathias was born. I decided to wait to start them till now though because I always just look fat for at least the first 4 months and not pregnant and because I was heavier this time around to begin with. I think that I am actually starting to look pregnant now, so the pictures begin.

Mathias decided that he wanted in on the fun as well. Look how tall this kid is!

20 week ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. I was so excited to get another sneak peek at our little lady. I was also excited that Dev and Mathias were there to see her as well. I am not sure how much Mathias actually understood but he kept saying that he knew it was his baby girl in mommy's tummy. He also thought that her heart sounded pretty cool, I don't think he really understands what a heart is though. I was glad to check and make sure that she is growing well and that everything is going alright. It amazes me what they can tell and see and check at these things.

Here is her little profile with her arm in front of her face.

Yup she is definitely a girl!

Another profile shot.

Another gender shot.

Her little foot.

It turns out that we scheduled the ultrasound during her nap time so she was not very cooperative. She was sleeping on her stomach with her head down. The ultrasound tech kept poking and pushing my stomach to try and wake her up and get her to move a bit but it turns out that she is already stubborn. She did eventually turn to her left side. We finally got to see her profile but the tech was unable to get a good look at her heart. So when I go in for my next doctor's appointment I get to have another ultrasound. I don't mind that at all! I like getting to see our little one. We did get a video of the whole thing as well but the nurse did not finalize the disk so that we can add to it at the next ultrasound.

trick or treat

We went up to Salt Lake again this year to my Aunt Lori's house. It is so much fun to hang out with my cousins and second cousins. We had a very yummy dinner before heading out to trick or treat. As usual, we had way more adults than kids. It was so much fun. Mathias got the hang of it right away. Last year he was more into blowing out all the candles in the pumpkins on people's doorsteps . This year he loved looking at all the decorations but loved looking at all his candy even more. I just gotta say, I think he is the cutest fireman ever!

We tried getting a picture of the boys again this year and it is still just as challenging as it was last year, but here are a few.
