Update of Brandon

Brandon's got talent

It took a long long time cutting the wire, hooking all the links together but he really enjoyed the whole creating process and I think they look beautiful.

The seashells we got from San Diego while we were there last Summer for a family reunion.

We are having a boy!!!!

Me at 25 weeks and I've gained 16lbs. thus far.

A brief update of the pregnancy. I am 25 weeks along and am feeling a lot better. I haven't escaped nausea completely but it's definitely not as often, and not as bad.

I have the inevitable back pain that comes with the pregnancy but it's not bad enough to have to rely on medicine. Brandon's really good about doing the vacuuming, helping load and unload the kids in and out of the car, the biggest one is the laundry. He will carry the laundry to where it needs to go-that is a huge deal for me. I have lots of back pain and Brandon is such a big help!

I am loving the baby bump and the bumping that baby Ian is doing inside me. Pretty excited but of course a little nervous. 15 weeks and he'll be here!!!

My favorite pregnancy foods:

Scrambled eggs

Mozzarella Cheese

Tortilla shells

Mac and Cheese

Oatmeal

Bacon

Blueberries

squash

ramen noodles

olives

Foods that don't agree with my stomach:
Bananas

bread (store bought)

my favorite :( Spaghetti

cold cereal

steak

mashed potatoes

gravy

oranges

yogurt

Milk

It's always so weird how each pregnancy is different. I remember with Meili I lived on cold cereal and spaghetti. With Noah it was cheese sandwiches and yogurt and oranges.

Business in the front, party in the back

Just something me and Brandon noticed that we have in common (as of right now)-MULLETS-LOL

"SEE YOU IN ANOTHER SIX MONTHS"

Today Meili and Noah had their 6 month teeth cleaning and NO CAVITIES-Wohoo!!!! I had to take note of today's visit because it's the first visit where Noah actually let the dental hygienist take x-rays of his teeth, remove plaque and polished them and just let her do her job which made me so proud of him-I was pleasantly surprised.
The last visit was a nightmare. He started to cry the moment we were called back. He refused to open his mouth and they had to basically put him in a head lock and pry his mouth open. He refused his fluoride treatment, and did I mention that there was not way he was going to let them do x-rays on his teeth. I ended up brushing his teeth.
SOO... you can see why I am so happy about this visit. Of course he is older so that helps and this hygienist was wonderful she made the x-rays fun for him and she sang songs with him and she was absolutely wonderful! Now, we will wait and see how he handles the sealants (next visit).
Meili was wonderful too. However, we are noticing that when her Adult teeth are coming in there just isn't enough room and they are starting to turn-we told her she probably will have to get braces.-she really freaked out! She is so dramatic sometimes it's exhausting! We told her we'll see what she says in another 10 years.
