19 weeks

Look at me grow!  I can consistently feel the baby move and kick.  James and Ava have gotten to feel it, too, but Ava doesn't like it.  I don't think she understands, but she did tell me "mommy, the baby kicked me.."  So I asked her what she wanted me to do and she said, very adamently, "he sit in timeout." 

We have another sonogram on 1/30, so more pictures soon!

We are in the midst of packing, cleaning, shopping, etc for our new house and can't wait to move!  Other than that, there's not a ton of excitement going on. 

heading out to do some shopping!

Ava found these sunglasses that I bought for her when she was a baby.

Now...

Then!

It's amazing how much kids change - yet stay the same!  

 So the other night after work, I asked Ava to run up to her room and get her coat so we could go out to dinner.  She said "Okay Mommy!" and off she went.  I'm standing by the garage door with my coat and shoes on, purse in hand - ready to go.. and Ava doesn't come back.  So 5 minutes later, I walk up to Ava's room to find her laying in front of her bedroom door, sound asleep!!!  (Apparently) she was EXHAUSTED. I did the mom thing and freaked out, checked for a pulse, made sure she was okay.. then scooped her up, put her to bed and ordered pizza.  Funny kid :)



baby boy bogener

 To say we were surprised.. is an understatement.  Baby Bogey was all curled up for the first part of the ultrasound.  At one point, the tech *thought* she saw girl parts, so we continued the scan to try for a profile picture.  I repositioned so we could get a better look, and boy oh boy (literally) did we.  He decided to give us the money shot, and when the boy parts popped up on the screen -- we all gasped.  Our tech switched it over to 3D for a better look, and sure enough!  James and I were both pretty convinced it was a girl, but we are 100% sure it's a boy!  Best of all, our baby was healthy and beautiful.  10 fingers, 10 toes, beautiful spine, strong heart, big.. brain! 

Showing daddy his foot :)

all curled up saying

"stop looking at my privates!"

 

no doubt about it!  It's a BOY!

 

            sucking his thumb, just like his sister!

happy twenty.twelve from the bogener's!

wishing you and yours a happy and prosperous 2012!

(after countless attempts at family self-portraiture.. this was the best we could do :))
