20 weeks = Half Way Milestone!

It's hard to believe how fast the weeks have flown by since we first found out that we were expecting...today, 8/22/12 marks the half way milestone in my pregnancy! It is so exciting to think that we will be meeting our daughter, little Miss Young in just 20 weeks.
Another milestone that began this week is the feeling of movement! I have been feeling very faint flutters for a week or so, but this week they are becoming more distinct. On Monday, I counted 5 times! I am so excited to know that she is ok in there, and I am anxious to feel her more and more!

Week 20: Your baby is going to start moving soon

When you're 20 weeks pregnant, your baby is getting used to all of his developing parts. Your baby is moving around, and you might be able to feel it.

At Week 20, your baby's development includes the following:

Your baby measures about 6 in, about the length of an eggplant, and weighs about 1/2 a pound.Your baby's skin thickens and develops layers under the vernix during the 20th week of pregnancy.
Her hair and nails continue to grow.
Her limbs are well developed when you’re 20 weeks pregnant.
Your baby is moving and you can feel it. Make a note of when you felt these movements start and let your doctor know

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

We are Young
