Ultrasound Results

I guess most of you know, but our little greenbean decided not to show itself. So we don't know what we are having. We'll just have to wait until April. Personally, Marc and I don't think the tech tried very hard to find the gender. Everything else looked ok. We saw the heart beating, some cute feet, and alot of other neato baby parts. I'll try to get the ultrasound photos to post.

In other baby news, the baby is thumping the heck out of my tummy. It is getting strong enough now to see my tummy move from the outside. I'm not sure if Marc has felt it yet, but I think he has. I have been experiencing some Braxton Hicks lately, which is strange for me because with Grant I didn't feel them until later in my third trimester. I have a Dr. appt tomorrow, so if there is any news I'll make another post.

Just some pictures and movies

Thanksgiving

Well, we survived the holiday. Marc and I had a great time. We were able to pile everybody into Marc's sister's house in Boise to have dinner and play games. I think playing games is our favorite part. We ended up dead locked in a game of hand and foot. Poor Mar kept drawing threes so the girls decided to get rid of all of them so we could finally finish off the boys. It was great to have time to relax and talk with each other. Grant really enjoyed being with Nan and Pa and getting to see his Uncle Doug.

Joining the blogging world

Well, Marc and I decided to get with the times and start a blog. We figured it is a great way to keep up with the family to let them know how we are and what's new. I'm really excited about this hopefully Marc and I can be responsible enough to post often. So on with the news!

Most of you already know this but, come April there will be another GreenBean joining our family. I'm 18 weeks today and feeling much much better than I did in my first trimester. This pregnancy is soooo different from Grant's. I was a lot more sick, I'm alot more tired, and I'm cramping. I'm feeling the baby a lot. I feel little kicks and pokes often and it helps me to feel like I'm actually pregnant and not just getting fat! Well, to be honest my overall weight gain so far is -1 pounds. So I really haven't gained anything, even though I feel like I'm eating constantly. I go in for my 20 wk U/S on the 29th of this month. I'm really excited. We are hoping for a girl. I really want to buy dresses and girly stuff.

Grant is getting so big! He sings songs and knows tons of words. He is really a daddy's boy. He works out in the garage with Marc helping him fix stuff. He has this little box with toy tools and he gets them out so he can "fix" mommy. He is getting really independant now. He likes to put on his shoes himself and get his clothes changed himself. He'll even pick out his outfits and Pj's. Thank goodness he didn't inherit the color blindness or we would have some out fit fiasco's.

Marc is doing more and more for L.L.Greens. The store has some new displays for lighting and plumbing fixtures. He always has some sort of project going on at home. Last one was atrying to make a dog door for Pixie because she decided to chew up the 2 previous ones. So this one is metal and hopefully will last longer than the last one! Marc also was an angel and Rug Doctered the car last week! It looks so much better! Having a little one in the car really takes it's toll on the apholstry.

Well, that is about all I can think of! Hope everyone is doing well and we love you!!
