24 Week US Pics!

Since he was face down for the 20 week US and not in the best position for some cute profile pics...we went back one month later to try again for a few. Here they are!

Sucking his thumb.

Profile with his arm by his face.

His profile...is that a smile? :)
One foot.
These next two are snap shots taken from a video of him blinking. This one has his eyes closed.

Here his eyes are open.

Arm waving.

This is one of my favorites. It shows his nose, upper lip and hand peaking through. :)

20 Week US Pics!

So I finally figured out how to extract some photos from the software on the CD I was given. Here are some pictures from 6/23/09.

Waving. :)

A snap shot from a video of the baby yawning. Must be tired from all his kicking!

Showing off his spine face down...his fav. :)
Both hands up by his face.

Sucking his thumb?

Profile shot.

Pointing...number 1!

His legs and one foot.

His face, frontal view.

It's a boy!

Week 23 - Fourth Doctors Visit

This visit I saw my OB's PA since she was on vacation. Everything is looking great! My blood pressure and urine both looked good. We listened to the baby's heartbeat (which I posted to the right) and this was the first visit that she measured my belly with a tape measure (from bottom to top of uterus) and everything is checking out just as it should. I also went to the lab to do my second set of prenatal labs and urine and I also did the my glucose test. I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm taking it as no news is good news. :)

My next visit is in a couple weeks and I'll probably start having to counting kicks (definitely not a problem!) and register with the hospital soon. Everything else is going well with me. I'm definitely getting bigger and I'll post some new pics soon. I'm growing out of a lot of clothes and I'm so grateful for my friends who have lent me theirs...you ladies are lifesavers! :) I still have an unnatural obsession with chocolate and can't get enough! I can be stuffed from a full meal and I'll still be thinking about what chocolate I should have for dessert...my new favorite word. :) I've had some nagging sciatica pain and sore feet, but other that that I'm feeling good. I'm just enjoying my little sidekick...literally! :) More to come soon!

Week 22

It's been awhile since I did any belly pictures so I had Reuben take one last night. Here it is!

Everything is going well. The baby is moving all the time...he's very active! Reuben felt him for the first time the other night, which was very exciting. I'm feeling great. So far my only craving is chocolate...I can not get enough! My next OB appointment is next week...more to come soon.

Beach House 2009

I can't believe it's July again and it's time for another Mullin Family Reunion at Pajaro Dunes! We had another great week with lots of family and fun! Here are some pictures:

At the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk sharing an ice cream with the birthday boy, my dad! Mmmmmm....chocolate!

Riding the carousel...one of the only rides I could and I rode it twice!

We have a theme dress-up dinner every year. This year was anything baby in honor of Reuben and I expecting. Reuben arrived later after he got off work and we shared the news with the family that we were expecting a boy...although most people guessed a boy already. The rest of the week was full of name suggestions. :)

Hot mommas in the kitchen preparing dinner!

Grandpa and I...I think he's an OB. Scary!

Group shot!

Family picture minus Katie who had to return to Fresno early for work.

The happy parents-to-be! Next year we'll have a little baby in the shot!
