19 Week and Final Ultrasound.

Bright and early this morning we forced Carter out of bed and headed to our anatomy scan! The night before we get to see you I always lose sleep, I can't help but be overly excited to see how much you have grown. It was so fun watching you jump and squirm and avoid all the measurements all together.. you are still just as stubborn as you have always been and it not only makes me laugh.. it makes me very terrified as to the spit ball of a child we are creating! Something knew this ultrasound was being able to see your sweet little face, technology is amazing in allowing us to see every bit of you from head to toe and if you can keep it a secret, your daddy teared up a bit.

This week we have been feeling exceptionally amazing! I have had some odd middle of pregnancy burst of energy but that has allowed our home to become absolutely spotless as I obsessively clean every inch of this place. I have had somewhat of a harder time staying awake come 4 p.m. so I find myself going and laying in Carters big daybed and snoozing while he plays right there in his room with me. The past few days he has crawled into bed with me and I am certainly not complaining about the extra snuggles!

We have been working with Carter on saying Henry and Pennelope (both of which are terribly hard for any young child to manage to say, let alone a 16 month old!) and while he can't say either of them his responses have made us laugh! Each time we ask him to say Henry he responds by pointing to his head.. convinced we are asking him where his head is. Close but not quite Carter. When we ask him to say Pennelope he responds with "Poppppyyyyy!" so as fate will have it AJ and I now call the baby Henry and Poppy!

Next week is a big milestone in the pregnancy and a rather scary one at that. I cannot believe how insanely fast this pregnancy has flown by and every time I try to wrap my head around the fact that in about 10 more weeks we will reach 30 weeks I have to sit down and grasp that for a moment. There are so many things that I want to do before the baby arrives, things I want to go cherish with my son as my only child and so so much sleeping I want to get accomplished before that goes down the drain again. Despite the fast pace we find ourselves more and more eager to meet this little one each day, as daddy starts to feel the kicks everything really starts to feel real. I will be a mother of two. Two beautiful, wonderful, and undeniably perfect children.
