Family Pics from Minnesota

19 weeks-Minnesota

This week we were near International Falls, MN fishing with Paul's family. It really was a great week. Grace was wonderful although she had trouble sleeping (getting me ready for November). Paul felt the baby move on Friday which was exactly 19 weeks, four weeks after I felt the baby. This is the big week. We find out Tuesday if we are having a boy or girl but even more importantly if everything looks healthy. We are so happy to welcome a second baby. Half way there already. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Here I am on the dock. Not your average 19 week picture but I love it!

Fathers' Day

Here we are in Minnesota. I am 18 weeks and 2 days. It is Father's Day and Grace and her little brother/sister have one of the best fathers in the world. He loves spending time with Grace and can't wait to meet his second baby. It will be very interesting to see how Paul acts with a new daughter, but don't worry Grace daddy will still spend so much time with you. Grace got to help daddy open his new gift which was a hat and shirt to celebrate the Blackhawks Stanley Cup win. Go Hawks. I am starting to think this baby is a boy because I'm feeling different and looking a little different with this baby. However, that could just be a figment of my imagination. I think Grace will love a new baby in the house. She always points when there is a baby in the room and smiles and laughs. Hopefully that's not just because she knows the baby will leave. When I asked Grace yesterday where the baby was, instead of giving her usual response of lifting my shirt, she lifted her own shirt. Hahaha. Well enjoy the pics.

17 weeks

Here is the new 17 week picture. We are able to find out if this wonderful baby is a boy or girl on June 29th. We are extremely excited and will be happy if Grace has a little brother or a sister. I can still feel the baby and I've gained 2 1/2 pounds this month. Grace definitely knows where mommy's belly is and lifts my shirt to see it. She also gives my belly her duckie pacifier and gives the "baby" kisses. This week, she also started laying her head on my stomach when we are in the rocking chair. Maybe she can hear something I can't! I can't wait for Grace to meet the new little one!

Before Picture

Here is the first picture. 5 weeks along. Of course, now the posts are out of order but you get the point.

Grace is Going to be a Big Sister!

This picture is 16 weeks. Grace already knows where Mommy's belly is and she loves to give the baby kisses. Next doctor's appointment is Tuesday June 8th.
