To blow the stink off em...

We have been fighting this flu bug for too long. Way too long if you ask me. We have all been under the weather for awhile now and it was decided that there was no better way to blow it right out of them for good than to send em out in the BLIZZARD!! Actually in all seriousness we were feeling much better and it was refreshing just to get outside even for a little bit. There is just something about fresh air that makes you feel better and well honestly makes the little one sleep better. It did us all some good. Here's some pics and yes he did eat more snow...

He wasn't too sure about walking in the white stuff

Not sure if he is eating boogies or snow

Snow buddies

Our snow eater..daddy already warned him about the yellow snow



On another note this was a big week for our sweet Ella. Every pregnancy I have had milestones that I have eagerly anticipated. I guess when your Dr. says to you, "Amanda how many times can you press your luck" you begin to count your blessings the further along you get. Everyone knows that the 12 week mark is huge, the nervous excitement of the 18 week ultrasound , and now week 24. Why week 24? SHE'S CONSIDERED VIABLE! Yep a milestone in my book, by no means ready to be be born but if she did come they would try to help her survive. She is doing great and is very active. She has found her "spot" and I have politely asked her to move but it is to no avail. It seems that she has become quite comfortable curled up low, very very low. Jake used my bladder as a trampoline, he was breach until week 36 and Ella is head down and uses my bladder as her punching bag. I am afraid my poor bladder may never recover but as long as this little miracle stays put until mid March she can do whatever she wants.



Also to pass along some completely useless information, which I actually think is pretty neat, Did you know that when a woman is pregnant with a girl all of her millions of eggs that she will eventually use to have children are already formed in utero? So medically speaking you are not only carrying your daughter but future grandchildren as well. Yes I know useless info, but albeit pretty darn interesting not to mention quite a burden to know that not only do I have to protect this sweet little life inside me but her eggs too...

Week 24!

Me, Ella and my future granchildren :)
