Our Little Man at 28 weeks 5 days

We got to see our little man today at our 3D/4D ultrasound. It was amazing and we can't wait to meet him! I can't believe how big he's gotten. He is so cute and has chubby cheeks! I'm thinking he looks like his Daddy. He had one of his feet up by his head at the beginning and then he covered his face with his hands. Gammy said he was being shy like his Mama We loved being able to get a little "sneak peak" at Jace!

Here's his sweet little face, his knee, and 5 little toes!
Avaree had to count them.

Here's his foot in front of his face.

And a couple of his precious little face
And here's his hands covering his face.

That's my girl!

Avaree to her Daddy tonight: "If I were you, I would do whatever she says..."

(Talking about me of course!) I love that kid!

Wish List Wednesday

I'm playing along with The Foster Family's Wish List Wednesday again!

I wish I would win the lottery so I can be a stay at home Mom!

So Proud!

I'm so proud of Avaree. She is doing so well in Pre-K! (Besides talking during circle time.) She's been writing her name for a long time now, but she can spell and write her last name now. And she knows how to spell, write, and read her 13 sight words. These are words like in, go, no, at, to, be, and her favorite one, zoo. She said zoo is her favorite because there are lots of things to do and there are animals. She never has any trouble remembering how to spell or read zoo! She has homework every week. They usually send it home on Mondays and they turn it in on Fridays, and it's usually a worksheet to do each night. Today when we got home, she sat down to do her homework and she got the whole week's done. I told her she could wait and do some tomorrow night but she wanted to go ahead and do it all! I was so proud of her, and I think she was proud of herself too! Her handwriting is improving also, and it's much neater the smaller she writes. She'll definitely be ready to start Kindergarten in August. She just makes the cut off by 6 days so she'll be the youngest in her class, and I don't think she'll have any problems.

Third Trimester!

We're 27 weeks now and we've made it to the third trimester! (And right now as I'm typing this, I'm watching Jace move around in my belly!) It won't be much longer now. I had an appointment yesterday. I saw a different midwife since mine is on maternity leave until the end of April. I've gained 2 pounds in the past 4 1/2 weeks, so now I'm down 5 pounds. We went over the ultrasound I had 3 weeks ago. My placenta is still not up where it needs to be for a safe delivery. It was between 6 and 8 mm away from my cervix and it needs to be at least 2 cm. So she said that as of right now, I have a 50-50 chance of having a c-section. My next appointment in 4 weeks will be with the OB, since she will be the one to perform the c-section if it comes down to that. The follow up ultrasound is in 3 weeks so we will know if it's moved up any whenever I see her. Part of me wants to go ahead and schedule a c-section and not take any chances of any complications with the placenta. (I've kinda freaked myself out by googling. Note to self: DON'T do that!) I guess we'll see what she says and go from there! Here's my belly at 27 weeks 1 day:

Avaree's New Do

We finally took Avaree for a much needed haircut this evening. She hadn't had one in a LONG time! This is before:

(and it looks even worse from being at school all day)And after:
The lady that cut it pulled back the front of her hair in a little knot and Miss Avaree loved it! (Daddy didn't! haha)
Gammy told her her haircut makes her look older, so later on Avaree said, "How old do I look? SIX?" She thinks she's something (as if you can't tell by the pics!)

Wish List Wednesday
