Bodhi is almost 3!

Just a quick update on my sweet Bodhi!  He is the coolest kid I know.  I love siting and talking to him, he has the best personality and he is just so loving.  he is currently working on potty training and today at Little People's Landing, he has his first Show and Tell.  He is really growing up, and I just can't believe ow fast the time goes.  I am so excited to have a baby again I love the baby stage, but having a 2 1/2 year old is amazing!  

Here are his recent school pictures...




22 Weeks Pregnant... braxton hicks and lots of kicks!

I am so excited to say that I am now 22 weeks pregnant!  It is bitter sweet because I know this is probably the last time I will be pregnant so I want to enjoy every moment and it is just flying by.  I am also so excited to meet baby Maya!  

We had our 21 week Anatomy Scan last week...






The last couple of weeks have been a turning point for me.  My belly grew a lot!  I started feeling morning sickness again, and I think it was because of the growth spurt that both Maya and I went through.  My back has been sore, and I am having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions!  I remember starting to get them right around 20 weeks with Bodhi too, so I'm not surprised.  Maya is also moving around a ton!  Jake and Bodhi have been able to feel her move, which is so cool.  She has a routine now, so she wakes up about the same times every day.  He most active time is about 8 pm when i finally get to lie down and put my feel up.  I just lay there,  usually watching "Friends," and she just moves all over the place.  It is our daily bonding time.  I just love it!

Here is my belly at 22 weeks...



18 weeks...3D ultrasound and Gender Reveal

At 18 weeks pregnant we decided that we couldn't wait any longer to find out the gender of this little baby.  We were both convinced it was going to be a boy, so we spent many hours trying to think of a name.  We could not think of a boy's name for the life of us, so we wanted to find out if we needed to find one or if we were going to get to use our girl name.  I called and made an appointment for a 3D ultrasound and we invited my parents and my sister and her husband to come as well.  All I could think about the rest of the week was that ultrasound.  The day finally came, and here is what we saw...










And then after many minutes of trying to get the baby to rotate so that we could determine the gender...

We found out it was a GIRL! 

I remember as soon as the ultrasound tech said the word girl, my entire family started cheering and screaming.  It freaked poor Bodhi out at first, but then Jake picked him up and started explaining to him that he was going to have a baby sister.   The funny thing is that Bodhi has been saying all along that he was having a baby sister, so when Jake was telling him that, he was looking at everyone like, "um, yes, I think I already told you that..."  It was so much fun to have everyone there!

We have decided to name her  
Maya Jade Sabot
