Ready for vacation!

Here are some pictures of Korie from this month!  She's getting so big and smart...she is speaking in 3 to 4 word sentences, and can repeat almost any word you throw at her, even words you don't want her to repeat!  When did our little girl grow up so fast?!

Trying to cut her toenails all by herself

Loves yogurt but always makes a huge mess

What?  More snow?!

Wearing one of Daddy's hats, again...she loves them

Holy bed head!

We leave for Mexico tomorrow, and I am so excited!  I think Korie will love the beach and the ocean, and I know I need some time away to relax and not worry about anything!  We will check in with you when we get back.  Adios Estados Unidos!  Here is Korie getting prepared for the trip, getting her passport, trying on new swimsuits and beach hats!

Prayers needed

We got another good look at our son this past week at my 20 week ultrasound.  I am happy to report that he looks absolutely perfect and healthy!  His heart, head, spinal cord, and internal organs are healthy, and he has two arms, hands, legs, and feet, and we once again saw that he is definitely a HE!  :)  However, there is one thing that is slightly abnormal.  I have a shortened cervix, which could be a problem.  So, to be cautious, my doctor has put some restrictions on me:  I can't lift anything over 25 lbs (and guess what certain little girl weighs 30 lbs), and I have to be on "light duty" at work.  That really doesn't exist as a nurse, especially an ER nurse!  So, unfortunately, I can no longer work, at least not "work" as I know it.  My boss is trying hard to find me some "desk" type work to do so I don't have to burn all my vacation time before maternity leave.  It sucks, but obviously I will do whatever I have to to make sure this little guy stays safe and sound until he should arrive at the end of July!  I think my doctor is just being extra cautious, so I don't want anyone to get too worried.  Right now everything is fine, and I'm sure it will stay that way!  I am trying my best to take it easy for the sake of this little guy.  We could definitely use positive thoughts and prayers for a healthy pregnancy and baby...thanks everyone!

Here are a few pictures of our little boy!  Enjoy!

Yep, it's definitely a boy!  :)
