3D/4D SONOGRAM
This past weekend, we had the 3D/4D sonogram of our little baby boy! He was much more cooperative than Maia. She liked to snuggle her face into me, and it was hard to see her facial features, but her little brother is not shy at all. He liked to show off! We're 30 weeks this week...it's hard to believe this little guy will be here in just a couple months. Maia's 3D/4D sonogram was done at about 27 weeks. There's a big difference in the amount of baby chunk this baby has compared to Maia just a few weeks earlier. It's amazing how fast they grow! (Click on the pictures to enlarge)
He opened and closed his eyes quite a bit during the sonogram. You can actually see his iris in this picture! Perfect little foot. I wonder where he gets those long fingers?! Genetics - he can roll his tongue

IT'S A BOY!
We had our second sonogram today, and found out Maia will have a little brother in January! He weighs about 2lb 10oz, which puts him in the 45% for his gestational age.

In this picture, you can see the baby's head in the middle, looking directly at us, and his arm above his head. All five fingers are there on the upper right. The sonographer said he's positioned with his head down right now. We have our 3D/4D sonogram scheduled for next weekend. We'll post more pictures then.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend, and Maia picked out her very own pumpkin. She managed to find on just her size.She loved running through the corn maze.

Here's the baby bump at 22 weeks. I can't believe we're over half way there already! I think this baby is going to be a star soccer player! I've been feeling a lot of movement lately...it's the best part of pregnancy! We're planning on getting a 3D/4D sonogram around 27 weeks...We can't wait to see the baby's little face!

Maia has been sleeping in her "big-girl bed" for one week now, and she's finally sleeping through the night! For now, we just have the mattress on the ground so she can get up and down on her own. She's getting too big, too fast!
Maia had fun fingerpainting, but I think her tummy was more colorful than the paper!
Maia had a few friends over to play, but I think she was ready for a nap!

Missouri State Fair

Thursday, Maia, Uncle Larry, Mom, Matt and Jen went to the State Fair. It was a little warm, but we all had a really good time. Maia LOVED "driving" the tractors. Grandpa Gaddis would be proud!Uncle Larry, Mom, Matt and Maia strolling down the street. Maia and Mom in the barn
Maia wasn't too sure about the big pigs, but she was sure to look in at all of them.
She really liked watching the little pigs race
Maia jumped on all the oversized stuffed animals in the MIZZOU building. They even gave her a book and a little tiger that she carried around most of the day.
I bought Maia a battery-operated fan. She found out really fast that it made her cooler.
