Baby B3 is a BOY!

I said it from the beginning (baby 3 announcement blog), but it was confirmed this past Wednesday that our baby 3 is a boy! His name is Josiah Samuel and he is already such a blessing to our family. Gabriel can not wait to meet his brother -who he named Spider Man-, and asks mommy all the time when he is going to come out. Gabriel also pointed at Josiah's first photo that is on the fridge and said, "baby in mommy's tummy! That's awesome!" Elizabeth has no idea what to think, but she was pretty enthralled by the ultrasound!Here are a few photos from last Wednesday:

And introducing our little boy:

In the one photo his hand is up. It is just turned to the side, so turn sideways =). At 18+ weeks I have already gained 10 lbs :/. I can probably blame this on the egg nog I drink a cup of once a day. I thought that wasn't SO bad until I looked at the carton and realized the serving size is 1/2 cup!!!! At a whopping 160 calories and 21g of sugar PER SERVING, I have been getting 320 calories and 42g of sugar in one latte. Ugh! So, I need to quit this habit before my rear end looks like aunt fanny on Robots (haha). Baby boy loves it, but I don't need him to be 10 lbs of newborn! I like small babies when going all natural (although they say head circumference only differs by only about 2 inches tops, I don't want to find out). He is moving quite a bit and feels pretty strong. Daddy feels him every now and again and likes to rub my tummy when he walks by me. He is in love with Josiah already, and we pray for him every night. We can't wait to meet him!

Piggies!

Someone had piggies today! I thought they were so cute =)

Today she also decided to say, "Bear" and "Bye Bye!" I love her little voice! She is so super cute when she waves both hands and says, "bye bye!" She was melting momma's heart today.

In baby B3 news, Josh felt him/her kick last night! It is the coolest feeling in the world. I love it!!!!

In Gabriel news. He is a charmer! His new come back for getting attention from strangers who talk to him is, "I'm shy," as he grins and flashes those dimples. He totally is NOT shy anymore. It is really cute to watch him say it though ;).

Week 16!

Here is a pic of me at week 16 =)

I have not been "watching" this pregnancy as closely as 1 & 2. Probably because all of my attention is on 1 & 2! My Gabriel and Elizabeth are a full time job aside from my real full time job, the house (especially laundry), and trying to keep a small social life. There is a mile stone I can't wait for though. The ultrasound of course! Tomorrow I have an OB appointment and will schedule said appointment. Stay tuned!

Baby B3

Baby Barnett 3 or Baby B3 has officially made himself/herself known. I feel movement at 15 weeks =). I've gained 9 lbs already, so he/she must just be happy as can be in there. I'm also sticking out as if I'm 18 weeks or so. I guess this is what happens when you have two very close together?! I've also started food aversions and nausea. Weird for 15 weeks, but true. I had this with Elizabeth too. If I were to gauge boy or girl based on similarities in pregnancies I would say girl. For some reason I feel like it's a boy though. Definitely not as strongly as I felt Gabriel and Elizabeth were boy and girl. I guess with number 3 God is surprising me all the way around. No dreams yet this time! At this point I think I'll simply be relieved that there is only one and not two in there. Ultrasound should be in a few weeks but not scheduled yet. The midwife said my uterus felt normal size at the last appointment, so I think I'm just bigger this time. I guess I should get over it...Josh said, "well, your going to stick out eventually so it doesn't matter when it begins." Yes,Josh, but I just would feel more comfortable if it happened in a few weeks (haha)! Anyway, more on Baby B3 to come!

Say "Trick or Treat" OR just demand "Candy"

We took our little monkey and our cow out for trick or treating and got a few laughs in. It was a good night! Slightly chilly, but this was good for the pregnant chick who carried the cow a good bit of the night. Here is a picture of my trick or treaters:

So where did the laughs come in? When Gabriel would walk in front of ALL the big kids to get his share of candy first, when Liz would reach her little hand into the candy purse and pull out a piece to chew the wrapper (wishful thinking for some candy), and finally when Gabriel walked up to a door and the lady asked, "do you remember what you are supposed to say?" and Gabriel demanded, "CANDY!"The boy knows what he wants, no tricks...just treats! Oh, and of course Gabriel pulling Elizabeth by the tail. "Catch a cow by the tail," isn't that what they say?!
