Second Doctor's Visit

The 12th was our second doctor's visit with our new baby. We were excited to be able to hear the heartbeat. The doctor found it right away but our little baby wanted nothing to do with it and kept swimming away. He said that it sounded great but he couldn't get a reading on it, so he wanted to do an ultrasound to get the number for his records. It was 162 beats per minute.

My doctor also said he was disappointed in the fact that I had lost six pounds that month. He even asked Patrick and me if I was eating! Of course I am eating! If I don't I get sick! So hopefully I will have gained some weight for my next appointment.

Everything else went great. I have no complications so far and everything is measuring right on.

Here are some of the pictures they gave us. You can see the head on the left side. The baby is looking right at you. You can also see their little arm and leg buds.
Our doctor said they might be able to tell the sex of the baby but our ultrasound tech didn't even bother looking. :(



We have another ultrasound scheduled for March 10th to find out the sex! We are pretty excited. I think its a boy; Patrick isn't sure. Do you have any guesses? Leave us your guess and comments here.

Future Pro Wrestler

At our house, you might not want to lay down on the floor. Joss has learned a few wrestling moves. :)

Riding Around

Joss has learned to ride on her little bike. She loves it. She has a hard time going forward on it though.

Laundry Time Helper

The other day, Joss decided to "help" me with the laundry. She thought it would be best to pull all of the clean clothes out of the laundry basket and put it all over the floor and couch.

Another Special Dress

This is a picture of Joss in the dress that her Mamu and Papu got her for Christmas. She finally fits into it. :) I think she looks so sweet in this picture.

Patrick's 27th Birthday!

Last Wednesday was Patrick's 27th birthday! He unfortunately had to go to work extra early and he also had school until late that night. Due to him not really being home for his birthday we celebrated on Saturday, when we would both be home to enjoy the fun.

We started by decorating the house. I was going to put up balloons, but the night before Joss decided that balloons freak her out. So we just put up the happy birthday banner that we got.



Next, I made chicken enchiladas. They were delicious, but I forgot to take a picture of them before we ate. Oops.

After dinner, we had dessert. I made one of Patrick's favorite treats. Rice Krispy Treats! I even put some festive sprinkles on to celebrate.



Here is the birthday boy blowing out his candles.

Once Joss went to bed Patrick and I watched some episodes of Lost and then he played his football games on his PS3. I think he had a great birthday.

Oh, I got him tickets to see Glenn Beck's American Revival in April.

Made with Love Many Years Ago

When I was a little girl about Joslyn's age, my grandmother made me this blue gingham dress. Now that Joss is old enough to wear it I thought I would put her in it too. She looked so adorable in this dress.

When I showed my grandmother the picture of Joss in the dress she said, "well that's a cute dress." I reminded her that it was the dress that she had many me and she said, "That was a lot of years ago." 25 years ago to be exact. :)
