Baby Bolla

Big news to finally share! We are expecting another addition to our family. Baby Bolla is due June 24.

I've made it weeks 8-20 of pregnancy which was so very exciting for me! I avoided the expensive anti-nausea medication (Zofran) that I took with Chloe, on pure determination... and concern of the out of pocket expenses on my High Deductible Health Plan. (Someone should really do something about that consumer drive health plan!) I was very excited to hit twenty weeks and be done with morning sickness.

I'm about 27 weeks along and have some cool ultrasound pictures.
Here is one of the best 3D pictures so far. (Hand in front of face)
Baby sucking thumb. Another time, we got to see a yawn!
I was borderline sharing the next pictures, but it's too cool to pass up! You can see parts of both of the baby's legs, and actually see a stream of pee!
It's also proof that we are expecting a baby boy! We are so thrilled! Chloe has felt him move around and has been telling a lot of people that there is a baby in my tummy. For now, she's very excited to be a big sister.


Family fun

My mom and dad were in town a couple of weekends ago. My mom brought Jack over so he and Chloe could play. They played, they slept, they ate and they played some more. Hailey joined us following her other prearranged social commitments and MORE fun was had by all (even though I don't have pictures proving that phase of merriment).



For those of you who may notice from the pictures, we also have moved into a house. We cut my commute in half and absolutely LOVE our new place.

No, I'm not.

It was too quiet in the backseat, so making an educated guess, I asked Chloe, "Chloe are you putting your drink in your hair?"

"No, I'm not." She says. She was pretty convincing despite the evidence.


Awesome!

I was talking to Hope on the phone (because even though we work together, we rarely get a chance to talk) about one of Chloe's "complete epic meltdowns" from the other night and I told her that it was "Awesome!"

Chloe was listening and interjected, "It was NOT awesome! It was not awesome, Mommy!"

Thank you Chloe, I couldn't agree more. Good thing you are cute (most of the time.)
