MN Z00
We took Ethan to the MN zoo again this year. Thought it was a good idea before I get to close to my due date.
It was fun to see how excited he gets over seeing the animals this year. He really liked the aquariums, and the big "kitties".
2 year check up
Ethan went to see his pediatrician for his 2 year old well baby check up. Here are his stats:
Height 88 cm (57%)
Weight 11.8 kg (25%)
Head 50.6 cm (91%)
The dr thinks that Ethan needs to gain weight. He wants to see if he can can 6 lbs in the next month. He wants us to give him a lot of carbs and keep him on whole milk. But I think that they are just so used to seeing overweight kids now days that Ethan looks thin compared to other kids.
We are going to keep him on whole milk and make sure that he is eating really well, but we are not too concerned over this.
He did have to get one shot. Which went fine, not even a whimper or a single tear. He did great.
Ethan also got to spend the last few days at Papa Judd's and Grandma Julie's house. He had a great time riding 4 wheeler and a 6 wheeled gator. He also got to play with his cousin Colton and help do chores, he really likes the horses.

29 weeks and finally an update
I have not blogged in quite awhile, not sure where to begin.....
Ethan has been keeping us so busy. The kid is always on the go!! He has been so much fun though, his vocabulary is growing so fast everyday. He will say words out of the blue that I didn't even know he knew. He loves to sing, and even has his own "Happy" song and dance.
We had to start Ethan at a new daycare a few weeks ago. We loved the place we were at but she was full and would not have an opening for an infant this summer. So we found another lady that lives very close to us and we really like her. She is also $200 less a month, which is a bonus!
We just had his 2nd birthday party! We held it in our garage, since it is heated. It was a great day! Ethan had so much fun with all his grandma's and papa's all in one place. I think his favorite part was when everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. He got great presents which have all been opened and out of the box now.
Once it gets nice enough, we have a new wooden swing set and fort and a new sandbox that we have to put together for him.
As far as the pregnancy is going.......
I am at 29 weeks and doing really well. I just had my 28 week appointment last week and she said everything looks great and right on track. I have gained a total of 10 lbs now. I asked her what the chances of this baby girl coming early since Ethan was 3 1/2 weeks early and she said chances are pretty good. So we will have to see if I really have 11 weeks left or not.....
I just got over a terrible "bug" that lasted for almost 4 weeks. Pneumonia, ear infection, sinus infection etc. It was terrible, and of course I really couldn't take anything since I am pregnant.
But the 3rd antibiotic finally cleared things up. Nathan also got pretty sick as well. Thankfully we had grandparents that watched Ethan a few days while we were sick and miserable. Luckily, Ethan did not get sick.

Halfway!!
I am halfway through the pregnancy already! Time flies. Nathan was able to feel the baby move a few days ago. She is a busy little girl, moving a lot!
We have been looking at names, we have three that we like, but nothing that is "the one" yet.
Ethan is 22 months tomorrow. I can't even believe that he will soon be 2 years old. It boggles my mind how big he is getting. He is talking so much now, it's great to be able to understand what he wants and needs now. He has been seeing all the baby stuff in the nursery and says that it's for baby. The only thing that we need to get for the nursery yet is a crib.
I have a decorating idea and can't wait to get started.
That's it for now :o)

We're having a baby GIRL!!
We had the big ultrasound today! Everything looked wonderful and we are measuring right where we thought we were, which is June 14th. We also learned that it's a GIRL! I have not gained any weight yet, I have actually lost weight. Not quite sure how that's happening since I eat all the time ;o) But they are not worried about that right now. I don't think I gained any weight with Ethan till around 5 or 6 months either. Our next appointment is not for another 5 weeks.
