Okay, I couldn’t resist, I had to include a baby pool for baby peanut. We’ve done it with at least Zoe and Ace so I thought we’d do it with Little Peanut! You can click on the link below and enter the following information to be in on the pool! The winner gets to enjoy just being right.

ExpectNet

Game name is: babypeanut4

For those that need to know: Not sure if I’m carrying high or low…mostly in the middle right now. I am currently not planning on being induced so the due date is up in the air. Eating a ton (no big cravings just a lot of different things). I didn’t ask the heart rate so can’t help there. Have fun guessing!!

Today Zoe has been praying that God would really bring her a baby sister. This is and will be a great teaching moment for her whether he has blessed us with a boy or girl!

Also, Liam has been dancing lately. He started out by holding on to something and moving his feet really fast up and down. Now when I say “Dance Liam Dance!” He’ll turn around in a circle…Really watching a lot of his sister and brother dance!

Baby Peanut is growing good. Not sure how much weight gain but not worried about it either…we’re doing good and he/she is keeping me hungry. We got to hear the heartbeat. Zoe, Ace, and Liam all got to come to the appointment so they got to hear it too. Zoe loved it. She wouldn’t stop rubbing my belly all morning. It took awhile to hear the heartbeat, he/she was moving too much, but he/she finally slowed down for us to hear it.

We’re scheduled for an ultrasound on February 15th and, if the baby cooperates, we’ll be able to see if it’s a boy or girl. So, now is the time to post your thoughts…is it a boy or girl?? what are the names?? We’d love to hear what our friends are thinking!

Our votes:
Abbie: Boy
Mark: Girl
Zoe: Girl (just because she wants it to be)
Ace: whatever Zoe says
Liam: baba *splurt*

I promise I will get pics up soon. I wanted to post an update, in words, on how the Georgia Characters are faring.

Zoe and Liam both had well kid check ups today.

Zoe’s was good. She’s tall and thin. Her pediatrician noticed her lack of speech clarity right away. She has no problem putting sentences together. It’s the pronunciation of the words/letters that causes problems and makes it hard to understand. We go for her IEP on Friday morning. I had her evaluated and since she is over 3 it was through the school system, which is not known for their speedy returns. It took almost 2 months and a phone call to the therapist to actually get the IEP meeting set up. I’ll keep everyone update on her progress.

Liam is great too. We’ve hit the 20 pound mark and will be turning the carseat forward tomorrow! Yippee! Much easier ride for all of us. The plan (when it gets closer to baby time) is to move Zoe to the middle seat with the baby and have “the boys” take over the back seat. That way, since I can’t sit in the back with four kids in our minivan, Zoe will be able to run interference on long trips! Okay, back to Liam’s appointment…nothing big to announce. He’s growing.

They both got shots and both cried. Zoe tried so hard not to cry but she just couldn’t hold it in. I think she was disappointed in herself but I kept reminding her that it was okay if she cried because it does hurt a little. She tried to tell me she wasn’t going to cry and was going to be a big girl. After the shot she got to pick a toy from the birthday room so that made it all better.

More later…I think!
