The little baby within me is kicking up a storm.  I can’t believe how much this little one squirms.  I can’t remember Matthew ever moving this much.  What a busy baby…it makes me a tad nervous! We had our ultrasound to confirm our dates.  It was so neat to see our baby.

The only thing that is on my mind right now is if it is a boy or girl.  I just WANT to know!!!  NOW!~!  We are having our detailed u/s on April 6 so just two weeks to wait.  I am 17 almost 18 weeks preggers now.  I am gaining weight…YIKES…it could be the sour keys I am eating continuously or perhaps the junk I am pretty much well eating non stop or perhaps the total lack of motivation to exercise.  Thanks goodness Matt keeps me busy so at least I am burning SOME calories.

We need to get busy moving Matt to the bigger room.  He is growing fast before our eyes.  My favourite thing he does is articulate what he is saying!  It is so cute how he tries so hard to say everything properly.

Stay tuned for the u/s pic.  and perhaps if I am brave enough a flabby belly shot!

We are expecting another baby so now we have changed the blog name to Family Harford…

So this little baby foo foo (as we are calling it) is due on Aug 23 although our Dr has braced us this one will likely come early like Matt did!  I don’t think there will be any arguing coming from me seeing as this will be a summer pregnancy so any weeks in the summer heat that I don’t have to spend exploding the better (as long as it is passed 37 weeks!! don’t want a preemie!!)

I have been feeling absolutely dreadful!  Nauseated, nauseous, nausea all versions squared!  Luckily again I have not been puking! I have been feeling 10 times worse this time around.  Within the past week I have noticed that it is getting a bit better because I don’t feel nauseated every morning…just most.

We got to hear baby foo foo’s heartbeat on Monday.  I was too distracted by Matt’s wide eyes of wonder and curiosity to listen carefully but we recorded it so that we can hear it again and again!

I might have a c-section this time around, will have to see what the OB has to recommend! So we might get to choose this baby’s birthdate…any suggestions?!(well more likely the OB will choose it but maybe I can say there is a conflict with my schedule that day, I will be busy tanning in my bikini!)

Matthew is growing up fast and he finally said his name today for the first time!  sounded more like cashew.  He also said love you for the first time on my birthday which was an extra special gift!  He is slimming out and growing tall.  He is a real boys boy and jumps and tumbles and tackles all that fun boy stuff!

I love the snow! Well at least when I don’t need to get anywhere!  Matthew has been enjoying the “now” too.  We haven’t been able to build any “man” in  the snow though because it is too powdery!  I bought Matt some snowpants at the end of the season last year and happened to get the right size.

We have set up our Christmas tree and it is surviving and thriving with the amount of attention it gets every hour.  We have put all non breakable ornaments on it is working out well SO FAR.

Matt is repeating everything we say now.  Alex was playing with him on the drive home yesterday and he really will do his best job at repeating every single word.  He is singing ALOT and adds in last word of every sentence of the songs he knows.  Twinkle Twinke Little Star, Up on the Roof Top, and The Doodlebops Theme Song are the songs that he sings best right now.

We got a big boy bed delivered by Grandma and Grandpa Tetreau for Matt’s Christmas present. He was right there with his screw driver helping mommy and daddy put it together. He loves his new bed!  Still struggling at times with bed time but most nights everything is good!

Here are some pics of various events over the past month
