Just over 20 weeks

Little Dude is starting to grow fast! I have gained about 6 pounds so far. I am now able to tell when he's moving around and practicing his soccer regularly. It is such a wonderful experience! His movements are still fairly soft and Dan hasn't been able to feel him kick but sometimes he rests on the surface slighly pusing out which Dan can feel!

Dan went home to Wisconsin for work this past weekend and I tagged along to visit with family. It was great to see everyone and introduce them to the little guy!

Snow Storm in Auburn???

We lived in Auburn for 2 years before we were able to experience our first snowfall. Unfortunately we were in Wisconsin on Saturday and missed the "blizzard," but below is what was left in our yard on Sunday when we returned. The storm was so "big" that flights were cancelled, snow advisories were issued, Dan's work shut down the plant on Saturday, and everyone I talked to on Monday had stories of playing in the snow over the weekend!
As a fun comparison below is a picture of my step-fathers house in Wisconsin after a snowfall in December.

BOY!! It was so exciting to see him!! Dan already thinks our son looks like him. We ran out and bought a few blue things right away. We are still trying to think of a name. Updates to come.

Everything looks good. However, we found out that our son has two choroid plexus cysts (one in each side of his brain). These normally go away and we shouldn't worry about them now, although it's hard not to. We go back in 4 weeks to see if there have been any changes.

Ultrasound was taken at 18 weeks.

Steph and Mike's Visit

My sister Stephanie and Mike came down for the weekend and we enjoyed their visit! We played lots of marbles/joker (a great game for those of you that don't know it.)
