30 Week Ultrasound of Evan Russell Wood (and some of LJ)

We got a 3D/4D ultrasound of Evan today! The sonographer said he was in the perfect position, and everything looked great. Aunt Patsy, Lori, Brianna, and Tricia Ann joined Barrett and I in the room, and Queenie and Grandad streamed in and listened/ watched on the computer for the 20 minute session.

I will be 31 weeks tomorrow, so Evan is probably around 4 pounds. He is head down in my belly with his spine running along my right side, bottom up, and legs folded down my left side. And he is facing out (which LJ never did for us!).  Will be nice if he stays in this position and just moves down as we approach delivery day. And quick update on delivery- we are scheduling a c-section for August 13, but if I go into labor before this date, I will try for a natural birth!

We got over 40 pictures, but here are some of my favorites...


The sonographer had to work with him to get his little hand down... but I love  his little fingers! His foot is also in this photo in the bottom left corner (he is all tucked up).

Moved his arm down and is grabbing underneath is legs... He had plenty of room to stretch out, but prefers to be all tucked up like this!

The umbilical cord was in front of his face for many shots..


Looks a little creepy, but his eyes are actually open in this shot!

And just for fun, here are some 3D pictures of LJ at 27 weeks in utero to compare.

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
