Baby Boy Williams 4D Ultrasound

On Friday night around midnight, I felt the baby do some serious flopping and moving around. Since he has been transverse, I was hoping that meant he had flipped to head down position. We went Saturday to Greenville to see the baby in a 4D ultrasound. Vince's parents, my mom, Vince, Evan and I got to see the baby. She verified that he had moved to the head down position!


The baby had his hands and feet up by his head. He looked like a little pretzel with all his limbs up in one area. We also got to see his dimple in his cheek so I think he will have Vince's dimples!

Evan's Pumpkin and my Birthday

Evan still loves Mickey Mouse. Every time he sees Mickey on a shirt, toy or TV, he says "mouw!" which means Mickey Mouse. I found the cutest pumpkin decorating kit at Target that has pieces of Mickey that are like a Mr. Potato Head. You just stick them in the pumpkin. I bought a plastic/foam pumpkin for Evan to help me decorate. He loved all the pieces.
I celebrated my 41st birthday on Friday by going to eat at P.F. Chang's with Evan, Barbara & Jerry. Vince drove to Atlanta for the races so he missed out on the good food. He did great with flowers & some awesome new bar stools for our new kitchen. My friend Kaye also sent me some pretty flowers. It was a very nice birthday!

Baby Boy 2 Ultrasound at 28 weeks

Last Thursday we had our 28 week ultrasound on baby boy number 2. He is growing well. He is up to 2 lbs 2 oz with a heartrate of 141. He is a very active baby and kicks and moves all the time. He waved to us during the ultrasound as well. The fluid looks good around the baby. His heart and blood flow through the umbilical cord look great. He is currently breach, with his spine down and his head to the right side below my rib cage. He held his feet up near his face and hands, just like Evan did. Hopefully, he will move head down by week 34.

Getting Settled


We closed on our new house on Friday the 13th. Since then, it's been a whirlwind of unpacking, cleaning, paperwork, changing addresses, and more. I am still missing a few key items, but hopefully will find them soon. We have listed our old house for sale and hope it will sell quickly. I can't wait to take Evan trick or treating in our new neighborhood and see how he does with our Christmas tree. Evan started school last week and is going again this Tuesday and Thursday. He brought home his first official art project - stamp art with orange dots. He's saying words and walking 4 or 5 steps, and falling all over everything these days. He can climb over his gate or just push it over. He is a very determined toddler.
We took a family picture in front of our new house yesterday, but Evan was not in a smiling mood.
I am now in my 26th week of pregnancy with boy number 2. We are still discussing names, but haven't settled on one yet. He is kicking a lot and moving around all the time, just like Evan did. So I think we will have 2 very active little boys. I am doing well on my diabetic diet and I feel pretty good. I haven't been sleeping as well as I would like, but I refuse to get out of bed when I'm wide awake at 3am. I have 3 more months to go!
