20 Week Ultrasound

Yesterday, we got to see our little baby again!   The doctor said everything on the ultrasound looks great, which was very comforting to hear.  Brian and I both looked away as she measured the legs, feet and whatever else they check out in the lower extremities so we can keep baby's gender a mystery until he/she arrives.  So, we're halfway there...20 more weeks and we'll know if we need to go shopping, or empty the bin of clothes in Isaac's closet marked "Newborn - 3 Months"  =)

To give you an idea of size, a baby at 20 weeks weighs approximately 10.5 oz. and is roughly 
10 inches from head to heel.  

Thank you all for your continued prayers for a healthy baby and pregnancy!!!

Catch up

September 29th, Isaac turned 20 months.  Very hard to believe!  I think I've said this before, but never in my life has time seemed to go so quickly.  The other day, I was trying to remember what we used to do in the evenings before Isaac came along and they weren't filled with playtime, feeding a toddler, bathtime, storytime, snuggletime, picking up tons of toys, doing a counter full of dishes from daycare and dinner, etc.  We wouldn't have it any other way though!

One of Isaac's favorite things to do this summer was swinging!  "Weeeee!"
He also LOVES to play on our new sectional.  He especially loves to have pillows thrown at him and on top of him...makes for a VERY giggly boy!   I'm glad we bought a light colored one, since it's often filled with drool and remnants of a runny nose from a tiny boy who inherited his mom's allergies...poor kid.  I guess I never thought our baby would be on a daily dose of allergy medicine by the time he was 1 year old.  It helps a ton, though he still has bad days from time to time.  
Another favorite this summer was sweet corn.  He did very well getting most of it off the cob.  Now that the season is pretty much over, he's content playing with his play cob of corn.  Not quite the same, but he doesn't seem to mind.
He also really enjoyed helping Grandpa B. shuck the corn.  Isaac brought the pot out to the garage, but set it by the door instead of the garbage can.  He had a blast running each ear over to the pot!

 He can't get enough reading time in!  I only wish he didn't have to read the same book over and over 20 times in a row (literally).  That's rough for his mom who gets bored easily!  =)
 We had a great weekend with the Davich's at their family cabin in Crosslake.  Yes, this is the same book as in the pic above...it's definitely a favorite and has seen better days.  It's even gone for a swim in Isaac's kiddie pool.  We have a few books that may be on Isaac's Christmas list for a new copy!
 So sweet...
 This is at the playground near the cabin with the Davich's.  I can't believe our little baby, who one year ago had just begun to crawl, is now wearing size 7 shoes.  They are adorable, but he's growing WAY too fast!!!

 Last weekend my sister, Tracy, got married.  Isaac's allergies were really acting up and he pretty much looked and felt miserable the entire weekend.  I've had my fair share of feeling just like he looks in this picture...not fun!  
The happy couple...Tracy and Kirk Dilly!
 We attempted to get a nice family photo at the wedding, but someone apparently rode their bike to the wedding, and Isaac was MUCH more interested in the "cycle" than taking a picture!
 So, we decided it just wasn't worth it, and let him go play...
Okay, now that I've finally caught up a bit, maybe I'll be more consistent with posts...maybe.  =)
