The news

 I went April 29th for my anatomy ultrasound and I had asked Jay if he would go with me a week or so before,  so he was there with me. The wait in the waiting room felt like years and it was giving me nervous anxiety. When they finally called us back  the nurse started the ultrasound right away, and she asked if we wanted to know the sex of the baby which of course i did, i was dying to know. After taking measurments and pushing bunches of buttons on the machine she told us its a boy! His name is Daxton. I'm so excited to be able to call him by a name now. She also told me hes in the breeched position, which means hes feet first for delivery instead of head first, so im probably going to have another c-section unless he turns around... and im not seeing that happen. Vincent stayed in the breeched position the whole time i was pregnant and he never turned. I'm so excited to be a mom to two boys. I always wanted boys. This makes me happy. Plus its good for Vincent because he has a little sister on the way at his Daddys house and shes due about the same time as Daxton, so now he has a brother to play with at my house and yet he still gets to be a big brother to a little sister, which i think is great.

Potty training... again

We started potty training Vincent again. Hes not starting off as well as he did the first time, and it really pisses me off. Had we done things the way  i wanted the first time he probably would have been using the potty by now. He tells me when hes had an accident, but i don't think he is aware of when he actually has to go yet. I just keep reminding him when he has an accident that he needs to go in the potty, im sure he will get the hang of it eventually.

Baby shower and stuff

 Jay went with me to register for Daxtons things after the ultrasound on the 29th and I registered at Babies R Us, so if you look at the top of my blog page here, you will see a tab that says My Baby Registry and if you click it you can find all the info about it under that tab. I will leave it up until after Daxton gets here so its available at anytime until then. I only registered for the things i needed, so itd be so helpful if people shopped from it. The baby shower is scheduled for Saturday, June 20th. Its early because I'm assuming this baby will be early just like Vincent and id like to have everything ready before hand. Not like when Vincent was born, we hadn't even had a baby shower or anything yet, so we had nothing but a crib and crib mattress. I will be prepared this time, so i can just sit back and wait for the baby. The shower should be fun, with lots of kids and food. They can go swimming in the lake if they like, and we are going to try and have a boat for boat rides because they seemed to like that at my sisters birthday party back last september. I have a friend with a bounce house for the kids, and hopefully we can get that over here and set up. It should be fun. I hope we have a good turnout, with a big party because i love get togethers.

Activity

Daxtons activity has picked up.  I had an infection the past couple weeks and since i have been taking the medication the doctor perscribed hes been even more active. He pretty much has spurts of activity now equally as much as he has quiet moments. His kicks still arnt very strong. He will have an occasional hard kick but for the most part its just him wiggling around with a few bumps and punches. He kicks and moves in response to my movements now which makes me so happy.  If i poke him, or put my hand on him he kicks it and the other day Jay and i were poking at him and i said "hey, you should  put your ear on my stomach and see if you can hear him when he kicks" so he did and i could feel Daxton move down my belly underneath Jays head and after about twenty seconds Daxton kicked him in the cheek really hard, i think that was the hardest kick hes ever done. We both laughed at him, its funny, he kind of  has his own personality already.

Leaving you with what we do for fun.

enjoy!
