IT'S A BOY!!!!!

On January 5th Bryan and I had an ultrasound appointment at 3:15. My mom wanted to be there too because we were finding out what we were having! Julie ended up taking Jaden in for an appointment an hour before my appointment so her and my mom waited for us to get there. My mom came into the room with me and Bryan. She kept taking pictures of me. hehe
He did the ultrasound and the baby had grown SO much. the whole thing was just amazing to me. He measured the head and the abdominal and then he moved it around to see what the sex was and sure enough it was a boy! I could tell without the doctor even saying anything. He is all boy! It's been fun so far going through this. I feel so much better than my sister did I think? They have my bp under control where as they never got hers under control. I'm only 6 weeks away from when she delivered Jaden at 28wks. I was afraid at first that I would have the same issues as my sister but it's been going a lot smoother.
Our little guy is a mover! He's feisty! haha Bryan has felt him a few times and it's been so cool!

Been awhile

Wow it's been a while since I've blogged! Lot's of things have gone on. Julie my sister had Jaden Eric on Oct 27th. He was 2 pounds 8 ounces and 14 inches long. He was SO tiny. She ended up getting Toxemia and so they had to get him out. Here are some pictures of him in the NICU.




He did really well in the NICU! Julie went everyday 3 times a day to be with him. She would get to change him, take his temp, hold him and feed him. Thanksgiving was really different this year for our family! I'm not usually one for change but something definitely had changed. We had a good time though. Nathan had to work on Thanksgiving and Julie went up to see Jaden in the morning and then again in the evening. Her and Nathan brought him a little gift.
We ended up getting the best Christmas gift ever this year. Jaden got to come home before Christmas!
