Christmas Bumps...

We went home for Christmas this year... it was great to see my family and give them an opportunity to finally share in my actual pregnancy... :-)  Jericho got some pretty cool gifts:

A hand/footprint frame from my sister and her finace, blankets from Opa, a "Whatever" sign from Oma, a dinosaur hat for his coming home outfit from Oma and Opa, and a highchair (not pictured) from my sister and her fiance.

Here are his coming home choices with his dino hat... it will depend which one he wears based on how big he turns out to be...

Here's what I did with his decorations:

We also took quite a few preggerz pics... I'll share them below!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years from The Brocks!!

GD tests...

So I took my Gestational Diabetes test last week.... and didn't pass or fail... so I have to go in tomorrow for the stupid 3 hour test.... I'm not excited.... :-(  I'm 100% sure that I do not have GD...... I'll be happy when I get it confirmed tomorrow.
Jericho is doing GREAT!!  The kids get more excited everyday that their brother is closer and closer to coming.... today marks the 99 day mark.

Happy Double Digits Day!!

My tummy jumps...

So last night I was laying in the living room listening to music and feeling baby kicks... they happen a lot right now... he's very active.  I looked down at my belly and noticed that with each kick it jumped... :-)  It's so weird to watch, but such a blessing... I really love this little man and am so grateful that I get to see evidence that he is a healthy baby even if I can't actually see him yet.... I can't wait to meet him.

Update

It's been way too long since I've been on... it's hard to keep up with 3 kids and do your baby blog :-)

Well Jericho is pretty active at this point... still feels like butterfly wings more than substantial kicks, but I can feel him moving around in there.  I think I got my scanner working so I'm planning on trying to scan my ultrasound pics in & get them posted soon... we'll see though... like I said- it's hard to manage 3 kids and update too much.  My ticker says that Jericho is now the size of a cantaloupe.  He's definitely growing... when I lay on my back I can put my hand on my stomach and feel his body... and there's a bump when I'm flat on my back so everyone can see exactly where he is.  It's been pretty exciting lately.
I had a check up Thursday and his heartbeat is 130bpm... slower than before, but still normal... other than some morning sickness I'm doing just fine.

It's a Boy!!

I've been busy the last few days and not able to update the blog... but now I can... Jericho (TBD) Brock is the newest addition to our not so little family :-D

Isn't he adorable?!? He's a mover... super active- Joe says the most active of all 4 babies.  The ultrasound tech and Joe say that he'll look a lot like Silas with my chin.  :-D  I'm really excited!!  The kids are as well... they've already started including him as one of their siblings... when we pray they pray for each other and Jericho... it's great... :-)  

Also today Joe felt Jericho move for the first time!!  This morning he put his hand on my belly and Jericho rolled... tonight he kicked his daddy... that makes me really happy... it means that Joe can be a part of it in a more real way now... pretty soon the kids will be able to feel him too!!  

So So So Excited!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is the big day... I'm so happy I'll have the whole family with me!!  Will it be a Simeon Elijah or a Thai Gracie..... we should know tomorrow... :-D  As long as this baby is being cooperative!!

Best News All Week!!!

I picked Ku up from school today and she told me that she didn't have school on Friday... I got home and checked her school calendar and sure enough... she was off!!  So I cornered Joe and told him and we decided that we would all go to my gender ultrasound on Friday!!!  That's what I wanted anyway, but daddy didn't want to take Ku out of school... thanks God!!!  :-D  I'm so excited!!!  I want the kids to understand that this is OUR baby... and OUR family... I think that this just helps that!!  We're going to surprise them... they're going to be so stoked- especially Ku!!
