Pumpkin Patch 2010

Here are the pictures from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.  This year we got to go with Kayce and Jackson.  So you get a sneak peek of what Emilia will be like with her little brother.  The cows really liked Brian - as usual.  Emilia got to ride the horse which is always one of her favorite things to do.  Thanks, Kayce, for taking the pictures!

23 Weeks

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb.

22 Weeks

I have not done my updates as I did with Emilia but here is where I am in the pregnancy now.

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

This is not what little Landon looks like.  He is actually the opposite.  His head is up and his feet are down.  Not sure if he will flip or not.  I know he has been like this for at least two weeks now.    Yes - he is standing on my bladder.

20 Week Ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound on October 7th.  It confirmed that we are having a boy - Landon Magee Hall!  We are very excited and very thankful. 

As of tomorrow, I am 22 weeks along so we are on the other side now:)  I have already bought way too many clothes but in that department we are starting over.  We will hopefully find Landon's bedding this weekend and then will decide on the room colors.  He will be here before we know it.

School

Emilia started school on September 1st.  The day before we had visiting day and I really think the time we spent in the classroom on that day helped.  She was fairly easy to "drop off" on her first day - at least compared to some of her classmates.  She loves school!  This was the perfect time for her to start.  She goes three mornings a week for now. 



We also bought her a toddler bed and made the transition on the same night she started school.  She is doing pretty good with it.  Emilia is for now officially a BIG GIRL:)
