Okay, time to start pregnancy updates. I am actually 17 1/2 weeks. Hard to believe we are almost half way there already!
We are working on names right now. I guess I thought it would get easier - especially since we are looking at GIRL names, but....
We have decided on Mia Elizabeth. Of course, it is still early and we have a tendency to change our minds! When I start buying things with her name on it, I will let you know!
Other things going on, I am still tired all the time, but not feeling nauseous anymore, which is good. I have not had any strange cravings lately.
I have been able to feel her moving around some, but mainly only at night when I lay in bed. They have been light, so they are hard to feel if I am moving around. Last night she was pretty active though and the movements are beginning to get stronger.

Good Parenting
As parents of four boys (and another baby on the way), we strive constantly to be the best parents we can. That is why, MOMENTS after the boys went to bed tonight, we were unpacking their BIG Santa gift and testing it out.
It is a WII.
It is SOOOOO much fun, and all we have played is the Sports games that came with it.
We might need to "try it out" every night between now and Christmas to make sure there is nothing questionable about it, while also ensuring that they have the best Christmas morning by us being able to show them how it works.
THAT, my friend, is parenting at it's best.
Now, I must go back to parenting (by testing out the product).

Nerdiness Shining Through
Caleb asked me if there was a waxing gibbuos in the sky when he was born or if it was a waning gibbuos.
Luckily Mom was on the computer when he asked, because she had NO idea what he was talking about! Daddy just rolled his eyes and said his nerdiness was showing.
Do you walk around and say "Look, there is a waxing gibbuos?"
Do you even know what it is?

Christmas Shopping
Other than getting a couple of small things and stocking stuffers, I am done shopping for my five boys for Christmas.
It took a big chunk of the day to get it all done. AJ was great. I think he had one meltdown and that was because he needed a snack. He had NO problem crawling into bed when we got home though!

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY CALEB
My boys are growing up too fast. Today is Caleb's 10th birthday. There were doubts whether he was going to get to do anything or get anything for his birthday this year. I think he may be turning 16 today!! He has to talk-back to anything that is said to him. Part of that is just his personality (he would make a GREAT attorney) - he LOVES to argue, even when there is nothing to argue about.
But, we took him to pick out his birthday present yesterday. He chose a big telescope. He has been wanting one for a while and now they are working on planets, sun, moon, stars, etc. in Science.
It is a tradition that the boys get to choose their dinner on their birthday. We let him choose lunch and dinner (because we were out running errands at lunch time). He chose McDonalds for lunch and for dinner he said he wanted ribs, potato salad, corn-on-the-cob and cinammon apples. It was the first time the kids had a rack of ribs (usually we buy the deboned ribs). Not only did they do great eating them, but they all really seemed to like them.
Tonight I am making a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. He wanted funfetti frosting, but we prefer the whipped frosting - which they did not have, so we just bought some candy confetti for the top.
I hope he has a great day (even if he does have to go to school on his birthday! He said all day yesterday he was "nen" years old". He says that is the number between 9 and 10. Today, though, I have a for real 10 year old! :(
Are they going to be changing the legal driving age any time soon?

Busy Day
I have completed grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and Christmas, other than the fresh produce type stuff (and a Turkey for Christmas). I do not want to try and get this stuff this weekend or later when EVERYONE is trying to get the same stuff, so since we are back to having two refrigerators/freezers and I CAN get everything early - I AM!!
Today, I am going Christmas shopping! I don't want to deal with everyone doing that either and Mondays are usually kinda slow days in a lot of stores (especially early in the morning). I doubt I will get it all done today, but I can get a HUGE majority of it done (as long as AJ cooperates!). So...that is my FUN day today.

PINK Clothes
Yesterday while we were out shopping, I was getting pink stuff. Paul kept commenting that everything was pink. What color did he THINK I was going to buy?
I really did find a couple of things that I really liked that were lavender and green, but most of the stuff out right now is for cold weather - it won't be cold (especially here) when she is born!
I got her several sleepers, ONE dress (that is all I could find that was cute and not long sleeve), some onesies and a couple of things off the clearance rack that were short sleeved.
Now, I just hope I don't have to return all of it :(

Girl Names
We are beginning the task of picking a girl name. Caleb thinks we should name her Henrietta or Emerald. He was not looking at a baby name book - not sure where he got these names.
The search continues!

Isn't Parenting Grand?
I had to take my car in today to get the windshield replaced and the cruise control fixed (things that were "owed" us when we bought it). It was SUPPOSED to take three hours TOPS to do the work, so we were hanging out in Baton Rouge. The last place we went was the mall. That is right - I went and bought some pink. It is all already decided right? Don't worry - no tags were removed! I know the limits. :)
We are walking through the mall, Daddy pushing AJ in the stroller when I start hearing a noise and see "stuff" on the floor trailing from the stroller. Andrew threw up. He didn't just throw up - he THREW UP - I mean GALLONS.
He went to the dr Tuesday. Wednesday he started running a low-grade fever. Continued the fever all day yesterday. Got up this morning fever-free and stayed that way all day. He has not been eating great lately, but he really goes through phases. This morning (after only having mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday) he ate part of a piece of bread with peanut butter for breakfast and some fruit snacks. He would not touch ANYTHING at lunch (and it was spagetti which is one of his favs). He did drink a glass of raspberry lemonade though.
We are not sure what happened. It was bad though. Here we are in the middle of the mall, people everywhere and he is COVERED in throw-up and screaming. We tried to cover him with a shopping bag until we could get in a less busy area, but that made him more mad and he wanted his clothes off. So, we did what any good parent would do (?) and we ran to the nearest exit. OF COURSE, it was the opposite side from where we parked! I stripped his shirt off as soon we got outside and tried to clean him off as best as I could with the few wipes I had!
We got some STARES as we ran around the outside of the mall with a stinky, nasty half dressed baby! We got to the car and got him stripped to his diaper and he quickly fell asleep. He has been fine ever since.
Don't know what happened - but it put an abrupt end to our trip. Our "three hour max" car fix - I got called at 4:45 this afternoon (dropped it off before 9) and was told that I could either leave it for the weekend or I would need to bring it back in because the cruise control was more complicated than they expected. They don't work on weekends, so it would just sit on the lot until Monday. We picked it up, but I am not very happy!
So, that was our FUN eventful day - one of those where you go to bed wondering if parenting was REALLY the best route for us to go!

AJ's Drs Appt
I took AJ BACK to the dr this morning. We did not see the dr that ordered the test last week (he is not in the office on Tuesday), but we did see the dr we initially saw in this office. He said since all of the tests came back normal he thinks he has too much yeast in his gi system. He had prescribed some medicine before we went in, based on the information I had given his nurse. We tried it and it made his diarrhea worse, so we stopped it. The dr who ordered the test said if he did have a stomach/intestinal infection like he thought then it was pointless to give him that medicine because it would not stay in his system long enough to help.
So, the dr said to put him back on it, finish it and probably have to do a second bottle of the same meds to get his system completely back on track. We are to keep him off all foods with dairy/lactose in it until he is completely back to normal. He is also to have no juice. He can have his lactose free milk, gatorade, tea, kool-aid, etc, but no juice because of the acidity of it.
I am back to long grocery shopping because I am having to read all the labels to make sure he can have it. As I have said before, you would be surprised how much dairy and lactose is in foods. It is everywhere!
They also gave us a different cream to use a few times a day on his diaper rash. And told me to put a pad down at bedtime and let him sleep with no diaper (he apparently hasn't had kids in diapers in a while). It would not matter WHERE I put that pad - it would be on top of him or on the floor shortly after I laid him down. And I don't even want to think of the image of what damage he could do in this situation with no diaper on!
The drs (his dr usually has a student dr with him) were amazed at how happy and playful he is for this to have all been going on for a month now.

Sonogram Photos
A picture worth a thousand words!!
hand at mouth
hand at nose
waving
hands at face
kinda alien like here!
I promised I would post them, and here they are.
I am not taking this anything like I expected I would. Yesterday I was ecstatic (and I still am) when we were told. Last night, I started looking at the pictures and the one that says she is a she, I can't tell what ANYTHING is in that picture. I guess I thought after five pregnancies, I would be able to read any picture. The fact that I CAN'T tell what anything is should make me feel better because I have never had a girl or seen a "girl" sonogram. But, it doesn't. I am very skeptical. I know these people do sonograms ALL the time and know what they are looking at, but come on...me....a girl... Makes me wonder. I spent quite a while last night trying to compare my sonogram picture with other pictures online of "16 week girl sonograms". It didn't make me feel any better (probably because none were EXACTLY like mine).
It also did not help that she did not cooperate. The lady who did the sonogram sounded pretty sure (although she did say we would try to find out FOR SURE next time - she did still put girl on the picture), but I am not! I am going on a roller coaster of feelings. I want to go buy out all the pink and frills I can find, but on the other hand I don't want to "jinx" myself either. I know it won't change anything, but I just feel I am better off being skeptical for at least another 4 weeks. If she still sees a girl next time - I will go straight from the drs offics - shopping!!
So, for the next month, she is she, we are really excited, but I am not quite convinced. Hopefully in a month, she will cooperate and I can be convinced! I do remind myself frequently that all of the boys were proud to show that they were boys. There was NO mistaking. Even WE could tell they were boys before we were told. I take comfort in the fact that she is a little more secretive about what is (or is not) down there!

Sonogram
We just got back from the sonogram. The sonogram cofirmed that I am due the end of April, as we expected. I was 16 weeks, yesterday.
We got some GREAT shots of our baby girl.
Pictures to come!

Pictures to come!
Sonogram
So, needless to say we are ecstatic! I don't know who was more excited, us when the nurse told us or the boys when we told them (ok - I do know - it was US!!)
Shortly after she started the sonogram and before she got past the head, she asked if we wanted to know. I looked at Paul and told him it was up to him. He got a big smile and said he wanted to know. We could not get the baby to move her legs to see anything. I laughed and commented that out of my grandparents 10 grandchildren, they had nine boys and one girl. We were always able to find out the sex of the babies - except with Alyssa. She would never let anyone see until right before my sister had her. So, I said maybe it was a good sign.
A minute later the nurse said "I think you are getting your girl, but she is still making it difficult to get a clear shot."
She kept looking and saying she thought it was a girl, then she wrote "girl" on the sonogram. She said when I came back for my 20 week sonogram (when they take all the measurements, etc of the baby), they will try to verify.
For that reason, we are trying not to get our hopes up TOO much. As hard as it was, I did not stop and shop for anything pink (this weekend might be a different story though :))
Everything looked great, all the measurements they got today put us at 16 weeks, which is where we thought we were at. I go back in four weeks for my 20 week sonogram and hopefully the baby will be more cooperative!
Isaac called this one! He was the one that kept saying from the beginning that Andrew was a boy, when everyone else said I would have a girl. The other day he came and hugged me and rubbed my stomach and said "I think we are having a girl this time." He has some special talant or something!

Unorganized Teacher
Bryce's teacher is VERY unorganized. We frequently get home stuff that is due immediately (field trip slips, money, etc).
Friday, Bryce brought home a note saying that the kids were going to Mississippi on Wednesday and the permission slip and money were due Monday. We had not even been told about this field trip before this letter!
Guess who forgot to send the permission slip and money today!? I called the school and asked them to tell the teacher I would bring it when AJ wakes up from his nap.
I have a lot of papers I have to go through, nightly, and sign. It is very hard to keep up with them all sometimes - especially this time of year when everyone is doing field trips and projects!

Fire Training
The fire brigade at the plant Paul works at it doing training tonight at the LSU fire school. They asked Paul if he wanted to come and said he could bring Bryce. Bryce does not even know yet, but he is going to be SO excited when he finds out. He has been begging me to take him to the fire station here, but we have not gone. He has gotten to see the firemen when they came to the school and that is it!
I told Paul he had to take the camera and take LOTS of pictures, so (assuming he does that) I will post pictures tonight or tomorrow. They will be practicing putting out many different kinds of fire.
Thanks to the guys that invited them!

AJ Issues
I just got off the phone with the drs office, making another appointment for Andrew. I can't do it today (I have my sonogram in a few hours), so I made it for tomorrow morning. He had a great Saturday, with only one bad diaper, but woke up Sunday making up for Saturday.
I have been bragging on this great "potion" we have come up with for his diaper rashes. He has not had a bad one since his trip to the hospital in Jan/Feb. I can put this stuff on his bottom if it starts to turn red, and by the next diaper change it will be cleared up. If he is having issues, we immediately start using this mixture.
We made the mistake of giving him orange juice yesterday morning. We had breakfast at McDonalds, and he had finished his lactose free milk. There are not many options that are lactose free, and not soda, so we got orange juice. The acid in the juice mixing with his already bad diapers was BAD! So, his poor bottom....he walks like he has something shoved up his bottom - knees locked and cries. I feel really bad - I should have known not to give him that, but he has not had any problems with it in the past!!
I will post when I know what our next course of action will be!

Reading Books
Andrew has really gotten into books lately. Before, when you tried to read to him, or even just look at books, he would close the book on you. Lately, we will read or just look at the pictures and he LOVES to point to all of the animals. I always tell him what he is pointing to.
This morning, he was looking at The Ravenous Beast, which has been a favorite of ALL of the boys. He was pointing to all of the animals and I was saying what they were. He started repeating what I was saying back to me! If it was a hard word, he would shake his head no and say "Dada", but words like "cat", "lion", "cow" he would repeat. He has never said any of those words (cat has always been kiki). Then he tried saying his brothers names back to me - which are still hard to say!
Another cute thing he was doing is when we were reading he would close the book, so I was just flipping the pages and we were looking at pictures. Everytime I turned the page, he would put his ear to the page with words (one page is words, one is pictures). I guess the book was telling him the story.
All of the kids LOVE to read - I am glad he is finally showing interest too!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
I mean Alyssa!
Saturday was Mom's birthday (and while I was late putting it on here, I DID talk to her on the phone). My parents have started giving their birthdays to my niece, Alyssa (Mom's birthday) and nephew Johnathon (Dad's birthday).
Alyssa and Johnathon will be as old (I mean, YOUNG) as Dad and Mom in no time at this rate!! Maybe I should start giving mine away too - but not to my kids - they are growing up to fast already!
Hope you had a GREAT birthday Mom!

Fund Raisers and Crushes
A little boy came over today to see if we wanted to buy from his fundraiser. Paul answered the door and told the kid that his son was selling the same stuff. After a discussion of who is son was, the kid says "yeah, he has a crush on my sister."
He asked if Caleb could go sale the fundraiser stuff with him and Paul said yes. They left (but not before we could ask about the girl - which he happily admitted to liking) and were gone for quite a while going door to door (LOVE that we are in a neighborhood where they can do that!).
They came home and were outside playing. I look out the front window to see AJ's wagon at the curb upside down, Caleb and his friend sitting behind the wagon and Isaac holding a sign standing at the road. They had made a "stand" for selling their fundraiser stuff. Noone stopped, so they went and put signs at the entrance of the neighborhood and one on our road.
The cookie dough they are selling are $14 for 3 lbs, cheesecakes for $18 and brownies and cinnamon rolls for $14. Can't really blame people for not stopping. This is the first time I have ever let him do a fundraiser though. He is excited about it.
Tomorrow they plan on trying again, and I think Daddy MIGHT take it to work next week and try to sell some.

Tomorrow they plan on trying again, and I think Daddy MIGHT take it to work next week and try to sell some.
