History of the J Man

The 3D ultrasound photos aren’t for everyone but I do think they are pretty amazing that you can see details like ears and fingers.  Here’s a photo of Jonah’s little brother waving at us from Jan. 7, 2010, or is he rubbing his head…either way I think it’s neat to see fingers.

These are a few of the better photos from our holidays.

All of us at Zoo lights a day or two before Christmas.

Jonah’s visit with Santa.

Christmas morning at our house, Santa came to fill our stockings.

Jonah has had a few new firsts lately that I want to record so we remember. 

While we were on vacation in California he saw his first movie at the theater.  A couple people weren’t feeling well at the house and needed to rest.  It was a rainy day so I didn’t have many options to get Jonah out of the house in order to make things quiet.  I took him to see Princess and the Frog, the only G rated movie playing.  My aunt and uncle couldn’t believe that he’d sit for a movie and normally I’d say that 2.5 is too young to go to the movies but he loved it.  He sat, in his own seat, the whole time eating popcorn and sipping his juice like a big kid. 

Now that we’re home I don’t know if he’s re-adjusting to our time zone or just catching up on his sleep but he didn’t wake up this morning until 8:45am.  That is a first!  Occasionally he’ll sleep until close to 8:00am but this was a new record.  And it was on a Sunday morning.  How nice!  Even the dog slept in today.  It was a nice touch to the end of our holiday week.

I’m slow to post this since I found out just before Christmas but with the holidays and a trip to California this is the first chance I’ve gotten.  Below in an ultrasound photo of Jonah’s little brother.  Yes, baby #2 is a boy also!  I’m not promising to take advice or tell you in advance what we choose, but if you have boy name ideas, send them our way.

At the 20 week ultrasound all looked good.  The baby is measuring right at 50% for size and average is good at this point.  I’ve been feeling him move now for a few weeks but on our trip this past week Chris felt his first kick too. 

I’m starting to look and feel pregnant.  I hope that the winter temperatures mellow out early this season or I may not be able to fit into my winter coat towards the end.  I can’t remember what I did with Jonah but then again he was also born a month later than this guy.
