21 Week Update and Orbs!

OK, so here is my 21 week (5 month) belly. I don't feel like it looks a whole lot different, but it feels bigger. Everything went good at the doctors. She told me that I'll be going back to get another ultrasound to get a better picture of the heart. They took some, but she was so squirmy that they couldn't get a really good one. Her heart sounds fine, but they just want to check it out. So that will be in like 6 weeks. It was funny though when she was trying to listen to her because we just got done telling her that she moves all the time and when she found the heartbeat really strong, she stayed there for a moment, but then all of a sudden the heart beat started to fade away. It was funny and we all started laughing. So everything is good, no big updates on that.

OK, so this orb thing has a story. I don't know who all believes in this or not, but with all my experience dealing with death and having seen my brother before, and also knowing someone who sees spirits, I truly feel like orbs are real.
So Son has been acting kind of weird lately for the past couple months or so. He started by getting on our massage chair, looking up at the ceiling and looking around like he was following something. At first we thought is was a bug or something, but we looked and looked and there was never a bug, fuzz or cobweb anywhere. So we would just joke that it was the baby hanging out around us. Well then, a couple weeks ago he started jumping up on Bud's night stand, looking up at the ceiling and "talking" to something. We thought is was cute and funny so we would just watch and laugh. But as it has continued, we swore something was up there. We found a cobweb, so we took it done, but it hasn't stopped him. Another time was in the living room when he was sitting on the back of the couch looking at the fireplace and all of a sudden he took a crazy run for it and tried to jump across to the mantel! We couldn't believe this! I though he had gone crazy! He had never done anything so ridiculous. Another time he sat in front of the fireplace looking up and "talking" again. He would kind of pace back and forth trying to figure out how to get up there. But there was nothing there.
So last night, as we were getting into bed and Son jumped onto the night stand again, we decided to take some pictures to see if any Orbs would show up. To our amazement, there was A LOT!
The Orb above the night stand might hard to see, but it's a little orb just down slightly from the ceiling on the right side of the light on that left wall.
The living room was were it was crazy. There is SIX orbs in this picture. The biggest one being on the very top of the colored wall, right below the ceiling. Another one is right above the blinds. A little one is right above the small picture frame on the mantel. Another small one to the right of our sand cylinder and a really faint bigger one kind of over lapping that one. It takes up almost all the room from the cylinder to the tall picture frame. The last one we can see is on the colored wall to the left of the cross on the wall. Can you see them all! It's crazy! I can only think of 4 people that could be there and that is my dad, brother, Erik and Tanya. I don't know who that other two could be or if the one in the bedroom is one of those six, or if it just hangs out in that corner watching over us. We find it interesting. We're not scared about it though, because nothing weird ever happens to us or our place. So obviously they are just looking over us.

IT'S NOT GOOD WHEN...

You're only 20 weeks along and:

*You almost can't get into the stall of a public bathroom

*You get stuck between your seat and the steering wheel trying to get out of the car

*You get stuck in positions when you're trying to roll over in bed

*You've learned not to sit on the floor anymore or else you won't be able to get back up.

*Personal grooming has become a thing of the past (at least for the next 20 weeks)

*Bending over to get something off the floor is no longer an easy task.

*Walking to the car has become a new cardio warm up

And you know it's only going to get so much worse because you have 20 more weeks to go!!!!

Bud made a blanket! And my first break down

OK, so I'll start first with my breakdown. Sunday night we went over to Bud's parents house for dinner. We ended up watching two movies, one of which was Marley & Me. I won't give anything away just in case some haven't seen it yet, but it's a sad movie towards the end. Once the real sad stuff started, I totally lost it! OK, so it's a sad movie to begin with were anyone would cry or at least shed a few tears. I usually try my best to hold my tears in so only a few shed. OH NO! Not this time. It was SO bad that I started hyperventilating!!! I could not breathe! At one point, Bud had this terrified look on his face like I was dying. I started choking! Weird thing was, was that I was done crying but I couldn't catch my breathe for like 40 minutes! So, thanks hormones!

OK, so yes, you read the title right. Bud made a baby blanket. He made Izzy's first Fox Racing blanket. I think we're going to make it her special blanket. He picked all the fabric out, made the fox head and letters (With some help from yours truly), but he sewed everything on! Everything! Boarder and all. So, it's pink fleece on the front with a brown, pink and white striped cotton backside. The fox head, letters and boarder are made with that quilting fabric. It's not at all professional or anything, but we think it's pretty fabulous. He's wants me to make sure it's known that HE made it for his daughter. I was aloud to help with cutting and pinning, but was NOT aloud to sew ANYTHING. It was funny getting "the talk" when he thought he was going to have to leave me alone for a little while. I didn't touch anything. So here is so footage of his project and the finished product. Oh and Son thought he was a big help too.

Almost taking the fun out of shopping

Sorry it's a little long, but it's a great story!

OK, so let's start with the frilly things story. So Friday was our appointment and Bud and I decided that after we found out, whatever is was, we were going to stop by the store and pick up an outfit with the gift card we had. So when we found out it was a girl, we were so excited and definitely needed to buy a girl outfit, considering that all the stuff we had so far was boy things. We walked into a small Babies R US store and found that they didn't have much to choose from. Their selection for clothes was kind of small, but we found something. Bud made the comment that all these girl clothes were too girly and frilly and he didn't like them at all. Mind you, they were not at all. To me, when I think of something really frilly, I think of like a crazy cute tutu or something. These were all normal girl outfits with all the normal colors and what not. So I made sure to tell him, "look, we're going to be getting a lot of clothes and let me tell you, they will be girly. So there is probably going to be a lot of clothes you won't like, it looks like, but we're not going to have a tomboy for a little girl. It's just not going to happen. Not that we're going to have her in dresses all the time or anything, but just prepare yourself. So the day went on and we continued to be so excited and come Saturday morning, he's pushing me to get up and out of bed so we can go shopping! He says, "Get up, we have to go shopping! Izzy needs clothes! We need to go shopping. Hurry, get out of bed". At this point, I'm feeling like, oh no, this is going to be a long day of him trying to find non girly frilly clothes. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with this, knowing perfectly well what is out there and what is made for little girls. It was almost sucking the fun out of buying the cute girl things. But we went and our first stop was the BIG Babies R US to return all the boy clothes we had and get girl clothes. First thing he saw was the Easter dresses in the front of the store. I saw them too, however didn't say anything because I knew he would have some comment about how extremely girly they were. Because let's face it, they were EASTER DRESSES!!! His comment and reaction to these dresses??? "OH MY GOSH! Look how cute these are!!! We have to get one! I love it, it's so cute!" WHAT??? How do you go from saying you don't like these girly frilly things, to being drawn in to these totally girly and adorable Easter dresses? I was shocked, but so far liking it. We continued to Target, Old Navy, A Childrens Place and Gymboree. At every single one of these stores, this boy was like a little kid in a candy shop with the little girly frilly clothes. I loved it! We had to stop buying things, but continued to look and now all he can do is rant and rave about this cute little yellow summer dress with lady bugs on it and a matching hat with white sandals he wants SO BAD! It was completely flipflopped and I have to tell him to calm down and relax a little. There will be plenty more days to looks at things and MANY more things we will receive. After all, it's the first grandbaby on both sides! Izzy will be spoiled.
So here all some of the clothes we bought, most of which were picked out by Bud.

And the winner is...

Izabella Grace Morrow! That's right, we're having a little girl! A very wiggly, squirmy little girl. The tech that did the ultrasound had to be real quick with capturing and measuring because she was just moving all over. After all the measuring was done, we got a nice shot of her butt cheeks and our question was answered. She has such a cute little butt. Then we went back to try and get a good profile picture, but she kept moving and waving her hands at us and then started sucking her thumb. It was so cute. Both her hands were in her face and she had her chin tucked to her chest. So we didn't get the best profile picture, but at got one of her waving at us and another one of her doing some funny modeling poses. One hand was palm to face and the other was palm away from face. She's funny.
YAY for little girls!!

Final days!

OK, so it's the last couple days till we find out what we're having! Friday is the big day! But I won't be posting the BIG post till late that night or Saturday because we're having our parents over for dinner to give them the news.
So if you haven't made your vote on what you think it is, make it soon!
Just for a little extra to make your vote, both Bud and I have sworn up and own from the beginning that it will be a boy. However, I started having dreams about a little girl. It's always the same little baby girl too. So that has thrown me off and now I think it could be either one. Bud has one sister and no brothers and I have 2 older brothers. So we have both girls and boys on our sides.
OK, so make your vote!!!

What Son has been up too

OK, so no baby update as of yet, other than sleeping is getting more and more difficult. Yes, yes I know, the famous line everyone feels like they must tell the nanny who apparently doesn't have a clue, "oh just wait till the baby comes." YES I KNOW! But at least then I won't have this belly with a baby in it to where I can only sleep in basically one position. But, anywho, to my point of this post, over the last couple weeks I caught Son doing some silly things, but mostly sleeping in silly ways. Here are some shots of him and his sleepy ways. He's having pregnancy sympathy too, but he can sleep in all kinds of positions!
