24 weeks!!!

Today was my 24 week appointment and the only downside (if there is one) to having a healthy mommy and baby is that there really is nothing to report.  Everything looks great, I was hoping to get more pictures but it seems as if I wont be getting anymore until Cooper is born so Ill just have to deal.  In 4 weeks I have my glucose test so they sent home the orange sugary drink (which i happen to like) and hopefully all will be well with those tests.  THEN, the doctor mentioned how that was my last 4 week appointment, meaning Ill  be in my 3rd trimester and start going every 2 weeks! Im sure i knew this, but it was a big eyeopener when he said it! I feel like time has totally flown and before you know it, Ill be going every week and Cooper will be here! CRAZY! My belly has grown quite a bit these psat four weeks and I have been getting alot of comment about how I FINALLY look pregnant, yipee! Here is a picture to show you:


24 weeks



So, Im happy to report great news! Many people have asked so to inform you all, Copper will be going into what is now J's jungle room and J will get a new sports room! We plan on moving J right after Christmas so Ill be sure to post pictures then.

Welcoming our little boy!

Today was our 20 week ultrasound (finally)!  It was scheduled in Austin at 3:30 so we left right after school and booked it to get there. We got there about 8 minutes early and had to fill out new patient paperwork. Then, after all that rushing, we waited and waited and waited!!! We sat there for 45 minutes!! Seriously people!?  It wouldn't have been as big of a problem but we were having our Kindergarten show and I had to be back at school by 6.  Anyway, the ultrasound was very cool!  It was a little different than with J and we got 9 pictures!  The tech even did 3D pics for his face and burned all of the pictures onto a cd with no extra cost! For J we paid $150 for the 3D ultrasound and cd....crazy!  He was moving so much it was funny. The tech would get set on something and he would move into a different position. As you notice, I keep saying "he" because it is definitely a little boy! 

This is as if he is sitting on glass and you are looking underneath.  His legs are open and the hand is pointing right to the proof that its a boy!

Everything looks just wonderful with him!  The heart is looking great, he's got all 10 fingers and toes, he's measuring right on time.  He's weighs almost a pound. We are so thankful to have another healthy baby!  We even got a picture of his cute little feet. (well, the tech did comment on how big is big toe was)

Sweet feet, even if they are big!

 So here is the funny thing...when we got J's 3D ultrasound, he was doing the longhorn symbol with his hand ( of course, J couldn't be more of an Aggie now if he tried).  This sweet angel is a true Aggie and gave us the good 'ole gig 'em thumbs up!

Such a good Aggie!

Oh, and it wasn't a fluke because he actually did this 2 different times! =)I realize you can't see the face good in that one because the umbilical cord was in the way so here is a good one of his face.

He wouldn't be complete without that Moseley nose!  

Now, when I saw these, I thought they looked a lot like J's 3D pics but if you go back and look at J's blog, there are similarities but he looks pretty different to me.  J's nose was big too but shaped different and J's upper lip was bigger and stuck out.  Now, this is all just pictures, I can't wait to see them together in person!

I guess now is the time you all have been waiting for...we have officially chosen a name!  We welcome to this world......(drum roll please).....Cooper Cannon Moseley!!!  ( awww, thats the first time I've typed it; it looks good!) For those of you who don't know, Cannon is my maiden name and we thought it was fitting for this angel to have some family name in there and it was just perfect.  As soon as we picked up J , we showed him the pictures and told him his brother's name was Cooper and it sounded so cute coming form him.  It's also cute because since then he has called him "Super" Moseley twice, haha!  I didn't get a picture of J with Cooper's pictures but will do asap to get that on here.

I think the best part was how excited James gets!  We all know he is a very enthusiastic guy and so involved with J and now Cooper too so that's great but nothing compares to his reactions to ultrasounds and the excitement he displays when seeing our sweet baby!  

I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks and I'll be sure to get a belly pic update then.  Thanks for reading and for all of your great thoughts and prayers.  We are truly blessed and can't wait to meet this 2nd miracle!

What a Bummer...

I went in for my 20 week checkup today and was excited to get my in depth ultrasound.  Every time we have been for a checkup, we go right back and are in and out within 30-45 minutes.  Today, that was not the case! First, we waited for 30 minutes before even going back.  At J's doctor's office, their ultrasound tech and machine were in their office.  Here we have to go to a specialized place in north Austin.  We found out our doctor has to fax the request in first and then we have to call and make an appointment for the ultrasound.  So, Ill call tomorrow and hope we can get in soon!  Then, I was thinking, thats ok because we always get an ultrasound from my doctor so at least we'd get that...again, bummer! It was so busy today and my doctor's partner was using it so he just checked the heartbeat and measured my belly (im right around 20-21 weeks) and that was it.  =(  


With all that complaining said, we are happy that everything is ok with me and the baby! I have only gained 6 lbs. and I have no problems, so yay!  The baby is moving like crazy now and while we were waiting in the room for the doctor,  James could actually see my belly flinching so that was cool! Im convinced within the next few days, he will really be able to feel it too!  


On another happy note, J is officially "peepee" potty trained!! woooo hoo! He hasnt had an accident since we started 11 days ago. However, he refuses to poopoo in the potty.  He doenst have an accident, he just wont go until the middle of the night in his diaper so thats no fun but we'll get there.  He is taking naps without a diaper too! CRAZY! AND, this morning he woke up(30 minutes early) and started yelling, "mommy, i need to pee pee in the potty!!!" so i got up and took him and his diaper was completely dry!!! It was really funny too because he would stop and think he was done and then start again and it was like he was scared or something that it wouldnt stop, haha too funny!  ANyway, I think he's preparing to be a big brother!!!

So, hopefully soon, Ill have the official word on if we are having a boy or girl and get all that details to be sure the baby is ok.  I've added my 20 week belly pic since I have nothing else right now.
