Baby Update

We had an appointment with our midwife, Marie, today (18w6d). We got to listen to the heartbeat again. It was going 145bpm! My uterus is mearsuring big (she didn't tell me how big) but you can't really tell because it is longer like a watermelon instead of sticking out! Everything looks/sounds great! We have our big/only ultrasound in 2 weeks!!! Now that the first trimester is over, the pregnancy is going really fast! I can't believe I am almost half way done!

Definitely Not!

Me: "Hey Liam, are you excited to be a big Brother?"
Liam: "Yeah"

Me: "Are you going to love the baby?"
Liam: "Yeah"

Me "Are you going to give kisses to the baby?"
Liam: "Yeah"

Me: "Are you going to get a Big Boy bed soon?"
Liam: "Yeah"

Me: "Are you going to give your crib to the baby?"
Liam: "Yeah"

Me: "Big boys don't need pacifiers. Are you going to give your pacifer to the baby?"
Liam: Looks at me for a second, shakes his head no, climbs off my lap and walks away.

Justin's new job!

So, I have been waiting to post about justin's new job until he actually starts but I just can't wait anymore! He was hired on at the Walmart Distribution center in Cheyenne, WY. No, we are not moving. The commute will be no longer than commuting to Denver. He is transferring there the beginning of May! With this transfer will come a very nice and welcomed pay raise, and only three days working a week! They will be 12 hour shifts but Justin (who has worked 12s before) said that he would much rather work 3-12s than 5-8s! I don't blame him! He will be working overnight weekends. The hardest part will be fitting church into the schedule but it will happen. It might take a few Sunday's to find the best sleep schedule though. This schedule will be great for school because it leaves almost the whole week open! Congrats to Justin for getting this new job!

Father to Son

Justin and Liam had a little Father to Son talk last night at bed time. It went something like this:

Justin: "So Liam, Mommy is having a baby and you will be a big brother!"
Liam: (Smiling)
Justin: "If you have a baby sister you need to toughen her up a bit! Thats your job as a big brother."
Liam: (Smiling and nodding his head in agreement)

Maybe we should have another boy...
