Another update on the boys

Yesterday I had a Level II u/s done to check up on Josh. He's doing very well. All the body part are there and appear to be functioning at they should!!! I got to see him swallow, that was so cool. He's measuring ahead now. At my 6w u/s he was 4 days behind. At my 8w u/s he was 1 day behind now at my 20w u/s he was 3 days ahead which changes my EDD from 2/2/07 to 1/31/07 and makes me instead of 20w today 20w3d today!! Yeah!!!! Oh and he was 13oz (approx). If I remember correctly Joey was 12oz at this age (well younger by a week).
My Josh is a wild child. He was very uncooperative with the u/s tech. She would no sooner zone in on an organ or bone or area to measure and he'd flip away so she couldn't! He was flipping around so much he's really making me nervous that he's going to knot up his umbilical cord or get it wrapped around his neck too much/too tightly! Joey was such as quiet child in-utero. He was uncooperative in the sense that he'd be in a bad position and not move out of it! LOL

Now Joey had his 15month pediatrician appt today. He is doing great as well! He was 6lbs 13oz and 19in long at birth. Today, 15mos later he is 23lbs 5oz and 30 1/4 in long!! That's just under 25% for both! Which is great because he's never gotten above 10% in height before. Dr said he thinks Joey will be around daddy's height (5'10) not 5'2 like I was dreading for him.
Everything is great, nothing was wrong. He's teething well, no ear infections, no other issues. He's a happy and heathy little boy and dr was impressed with how happy he was an the lack of stranger anxiety!!

He goes again on his 18mos birthday (12/15/06) then not again until his 2nd birthday!! WOW!! I can't believe it, it seems like that's just around the corner. My little baby is growing so fast it's scary! I'll post a picture later when I get my camera downloaded into the computer!

Update on the boys!!!

I had a doctor appt this past Wednesday. It was just a regular check up and he threw in an ultrasound to verify baby's gender. I was so excited and yet while I feel the baby kicking all the time now I still get nervous at the ultrasounds. Something that happens frequently when someone has suffered a loss in the past.
Anyway all looks great. It appeared that all the boy parts were still there so we're definatly having a Joshua James come January!!!!

I was really very excited. I didn't care either way, boy or girl, but after thinking it was a boy for over a week I'd gotten all these plans in my head and was so excited about them. I think I would have been a little disappointed if he'd said it was a girl. Not that I"d hate to have a girl but I wouldn't be able to do any of my plans with a girl.

Since it's a boy he gets to take over big brother's room and Joey will be moving into a big boy room. Hubby and I already went and picked out what theme we want to decorate his room in and many of the thing in the spare room have been removed. So soon we can start building his new room and that's so exciting!!!

Joey's going to have a sports themed room in mostly blue with red and white accents. I've got it all picked out and in our registry at T-R-U!!!

Joey is doing wonderful. He's going to be a great big brother. He already knows where the baby is. When you ask him he'll come over to me and life up my shirt and pat my belly!! I'm sure he has NO clue what a baby is or that it's in mommy's tummy but it's cute none the less!

He's still getting all those toofies in all at once. One molar has made some good progress but the rest are still pretty dang slow.

He's eating great and I've tested tomato stuff on him recently and he's had no problems with diaper rash as a result so I guess he can start having tomato stuff again!

Teething Toddlers

OMG is about all I can say. Along with oh my poor little boy! Joey has decided that it's fun to get all his teeth at once. (yeah right, like he had a choice in the matter) It started out with my finding the beginnings of 3 molars, then while he was screaming while I held him down to change a diaper I find that he has two teeth (one on either side of the 4 already on top center, I think those are called the laterals??) well those have broken the skin already!! I didn't even know they were coming. Well then this morning I notice he's got one in and the other coming soon on the bottom (laterals). Now he teeths slow, once the tooth breaks the skin it's still another month or so before it grows out to the point it's supposed to reach. So all in all that is 7 teeth he's getting all at the same time. 4 through the skin (one of them is a molar) 2 others you can see are right there and 1 is still swollen and trying to come in!

I have to say he's been in pretty good spirits for 7 toofies all at the same time. No he's not an angel and has been crabby but nothing compaired to what I'd think would have happened!!
