Little Mister Maupin

Its a...BOY!!!

Yep folks, that's right, the Maupin clan is expanding by one very tiny but totally adorable little man!

The ultrasound was great. It was the same lady who did my scan at 6 weeks and she was very nice and informative. Explained everything she was doing and even switched over to 3D mode for us at the end which was AMAZING!

He is measuring just what he should, weighing in at a whopping 13oz! Its amazing that little person can grow in my belly and kick me hard enough for me to feel it. Very, very cool!

This is the proof of his manhood, which I'm sure will totally mortify him later in life that I posted that on the internet! You are looking at his two legs (top and bottom) and that extra manly appendage in between ;)

So we are officially accepting name suggestions of the boy variety. Bring it on. Hailey is already excited about her little brother, although now that she has seen pictures she is angry at me because she can't have him RIGHT NOW. We'll see how she feels when he really arrives.

Preggo Part II at 20 weeks

We go tomorrow for the big ultrasound. And speaking of big...

My dad runs SUPER fast!

This past Saturday Jonathan, along with more than 30,000 other crazy people, ran the Country Music 1/2 Marathon. This was Jona's first marathon experience and he did GREAT! He ran the 13.1 miles in 2hrs 14mins and 29 sec. Hailey and I met him at the finish and brought him home to ice his knees. I got my workout pushing Hailey up the ridiculously steep pedestrian bridge, only to realize there was an elevator. He has recovered remarkably well, with only a sore foot to deal with. Go Daddy!!

More spoiling...

After our trip to Miami, Grandma came to visit from Idaho. More time for Hailey to be spoiled, and boy did she love it :) Unfortunately Hailey got a terrible cold that turned into what the doctor thought was pneumonia so she was out for the count for a bit of the visit. Feeling terrible in addition to being on Amoxicillin which makes her a psycho child and getting her two year molars made for some rough times. On Carol Ann's last day here, they were able to head out for a beautiful day at the dragon park and Jona took some really cute pictures.

Spring has sprung

Again, its been WAY too long since I wrote anything on the blog. Sorry folks, time flies when you're havin' fun! These are pictures from our trip to Miami at the end of March. Sadly, this is not all of the pictures as my camera died quite quickly and I forgot the battery charger (bad mommy!), but I have these to upload for all to enjoy :) Hailey and I had so much fun I can't even describe it. The weather was beautiful, we swam everyday, we saw all the cousins and aunts and uncles, we had such a good time with Gammy and Grampy, we were spoiled rotten...and we came home to 50 degrees and rain. Yes, I was most definitely depressed!! But spring appears to have arrived in Nashville, though I fear that just writing that down may jinx us back into yet another cold front. Please Mother Nature, spare me! The three of us spent ALL day in the yard yesterday, planting flowers, raking, spreading grass seed, and praying to all things holy that our grass will grow and take over the brown wasteland that is our backyard. Do a little dance for us PLEASE!!








I am now 19 weeks preggers. We have our big ultrasound next Tuesday when we will find out what we're having. I am big bellied and beautiful now, no more doubts for the general public whether I am pregnant or just rather rotund. I am feeling great, lots of kicking going on which is fun, I can't wait for Hailey and Jona to be able to feel it.

So, all is well here, I hope the same is true for you. Happy spring time to all!
