Surprise Mommy and Daddy I'm a?????

We went to the Dr's to find out what we we're having we were all excited to see if the baby was going to be a boy or girl. We have girl names picked out but not boy names so if it was going to be a boy we are in big trouble lol.

We picked up Ashleigh cause she wanted to come with us to find out what the gender is. We got to the doctors, and waited patiently for my turn and finally it came. It was my turn so they took me back and started checking on the baby to make sure everything looked good and it was growing and all the other stuff they look for.

Finally it was time, she asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby but when she was looking we could already tell that it was a beautiful GIRL yep that's right we are having another girl. Our trend continues with girl, boy, girl, boy, and now another girl.

After the tech was done she had the doctor look at the ultra sound and she came in and wanted to just check somethings out. She looked for a cleft lip which it looked fine. Then she looked at her brain and saw that there was a cyst on her brain and told us that it is common and they usually go away. Ya that is a little scary to hear you never want to hear that there is something going on with your baby. But the Dr seemed confident that it will resolve itself and go away. And don't panic about it. So in 32 weeks I need to go back so they can check it out to see if it went away. So we have been praying that it will resolve it self and go away and that she is growing healthy and strong.

Also in a month I have a feto echo scheduled to check the babies heart to make sure she doesn't have a heart defect. I will update that when I get her checked out.

Reading

I have started to home school Braxton more faithfully this year since he is now 4 years old. We started the same time as Kenzie started her home school in August. But he defiantly has a shorter attention span then Kenzie was at that age so it is a little more challenging for me to teach him. But he is doing amazing.

We started by identifying the Alphabet, upper and lower case which he did really well on it was more of a refresher over summer break so we started on sounds he still has a few we are working on but he has picked most of them up pretty quickly.

Since he has started the sounds he has wanted to learn to read so with some of Kenzie words list that she has passed and has known for a year we are using them on Braxton. He has learn to read and sound out some AT words and It words and a few easy one's that are easy to put together and sound out. Of course we still have a ways to go on getting him to combined some of the sounds together of the word but he is doing awesome and seems to be on track for when he starts kindergarten.

I love the fact that I get to watch my kids expand there minds and watch them grow in every aspect of there lives and to know that I am the one who gets to teach them. That is one thing I love about being a Mom.

Way to go Braxton what an amazing accomplishment.

20 week check up

Went to my 20 week check up and everything went well. I got my weight checked and I am up to 121 pounds. That means this pregnancy I have gained 12 pounds so far.

The baby was wiggling all over when my doctor was trying to get it's heart beat, so it was hard to track the baby down but we got it. When we heard the heart beat it was 155 bpm.

I can now feel the baby move around in my tummy but not quit yet when I feel my stomach. But man does this baby like to jump around on my bladder.

On the 28th we get to find out what we are having we are super excited. Yes there are preferences on what I am having between the kids. But I am praying for a healthy happy baby.
