Welcome to the 2nd Trimester... Baby Young is 14 Weeks!

Three months have gone by since we first found out that we were expecting. It makes me excited and anxious at the same time to think that little Baby Young (Lil Bit) will be here in just six months. I cannot stop thinking about labor and the process of pushing a baby out! It terrifies me! I received some much needed wisdom: to look at the bigger picture and the happiness and joy of holding our baby which makes the few hours of uncomfort worth it.

Sara had a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday 7/10/11 which consisted of a sonogram to measure the neck lobe to check for down syndrome and a blood test to check for spina bifita. Baby would not cooperate for the ultrasound technician, which was fine because I got to lay there for about 45 minutes and watch lil bit move around on the screen, still can't believe that that active baby on the screen is in my tummy and I cannot feel a thing! I told the technician that it was ok if she could not see the neck lobe because It didn't matter if this baby had down's or not, we would love it either way. She said that the baby probably knows that I feel this way and that is why he/she isn't cooperating!!! A few minutes later the tecnician gave me a piece of chocolate to eat to see if that would help calm the baby down. Sure enough she was able to get the picture she needed, thankfully she said that everything looked fine! :)

14 week sonograms- feet, hands and profile!

This weeks cravings: Ice Cold Water, Orange Juice-right from the container, Ice Cream (any flavor), and most of all Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella Panini’s.

Bought my 1^st Pair of Maternity Pants on my lunch break because I could not breathe at work!

One Day at a Time

Grieving... it is sometimes described as a "roller coaster" but there are no words to describe the roller coaster that I am on. Some days go by and I am completely fine, I don't know how but we still laugh, I act goofy with Mike and we are "normal"... our kind of normal. Then, out of no where it's like someone drops a bomb on you and you spin out of control and a wave of emotions take over and you loose complete control. One minute I'm angry that our daughter is gone and I cannot see her or hold her, the next minute I an anxious about how our life will never be the same and how do I go on with day to day activities. It is the strangest feeling to be so out of control of your feelings and emotions. I want to say that we are "OK" and that 90% of the time we are strong and staying positive, I know that is what Madison would want and that she is looking down on us giving us the strenght we need. We have a wonderful support group that

Beach, July 4th and 4 Months!

Not sure where this past month has gone? We've been keeping busy with trips to the park, the mall, the supermarket and even took a small beach trip! Mason is changing everyday, he continues to amaze me every morning when I wake up to his sweet smiles. His 4 month check up went great, weighing in at 15.8 pounds and 24.8 inches long! (in the 54th %) He is wearing size 2 diapers now and mostly 6 month clothes. Today He actually rolled over from his back to tummy! Eating has become a little challenging because Mason has become so alert of his surroundings he does not want to concentrate on eating, that and a little teething makes for a fun feeding! We received the ok to start some solids and oatmeal by spoon, as well as bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes and peas. Mason enjoyed his first beach trip, we loved every minute of the fun in the sun and sand! He really is a water baby. Sweet Cailyn enjoyed playing with Mason and reading him books too! Ma

1 Month... already?!?

This month has FLOWN by, it really is a blur. I have to say that the first two weeks were pretty hard. It was a big adjustment bringing Mason home and establishing a routine around eating, sleeping and keeping him satisfied. As the month went on we adjusted quickly and are beginning to get into the groove of things. Mason is becoming very alert and looks at objects around the house, he loves making eye contact with mommy and daddy and even cracks a little smile! He has started to make fists and bring them up to hold onto his bottle. We started tummy time this month, he's not a huge fan but is very strong and is lifting his head up and scooting his knees. Weight/Height: You are getting a little chunky and filling out all over, no official weight as of your 1 month but I am sure you are over 8 pounds. You were 20 inches at your last appointment on April 3rd. Your next Dr.'s appointment is May 19! Hair & Eyes: Your hair is dark and growing! Your eyes keep
