A Belly Report

We are now about 20 weeks along - half way! Last week we had an ultra sound (probably the last) and checked out all the important body parts - heart, brain, kidneys, placenta, etc. The baby looks very healthy! The ultrasound technician was training someone and so we got a bonus 3D look. The baby looks a little scary - I'm hoping he/she is a bit cuter than these pictures, but they are still amazing. In Jennings style, we are waiting to find out whether the bean is a girl or boy. I added a polling gadget to the blog, so place your bets!

You can also see my belly is growing quite large and getting bigger by the day. Everyone can tell I'm pregnant now. With my first pregnancy that probably didn't happen until about 30 weeks. Our house projects are in full swing as we try to prepare for the baby. We are having fun decorating Brock's "big boy" room with a surfer theme. I wish I could say I'm feeling great, but it has been a rough week. I have a terrible cold/cough and pain in my lower back - the real kicker is no med for pregos! Next week is sure to be better :)


Tiny leg and foot.

Cute little face :)

Profile, looking up!

18 week belly!

Prayers Needed

I'm recruiting all the prayers possible, so I thought I would do a little post. My best friend Katie (you may remember Brock and I were in their wedding in September) just delivered twin girls at 26 weeks. Little miss Clara Elizabeth is 1 lb, 7 oz. and miss Olivia Marie is 2 lbs. They are doing better than many preemies (not surprising - they have the rockstar genes of their mommy), but they need all the prayers you can spare and Katie and Jeremy could use them as well! They are at Stanford getting the best medical care possible. We are going there to visit next weekend.

Random Brock Pics

Between back pain and a cold - and not being able to take any medicine I'm up....posting at 4am. Really, I've been up all night! These are just some random shots of our busy boy.


Brock could play outside (rain or shine) forever! His new favorite thing is to, "dig for bugs". We find worms, pincher bugs, and rollie pollie bugs - yuck!


We have our favorite little authentic Mexican food place, Betos. I've had to start ordering Brock his own burrito because he now eats 1/2 to 3/4 of one! He also loves their salsa which is pretty hot.

Rocking his baby.

Having a fit because I want to see the camera - geez!

Brock for President

As it turns out, turning two during a very exciting election year has greatly influenced Brock. The other day, out of no where, he approached his pretend podium (Dad's legs) and began giving a very compelling speech! I asked him who he was pretending to be and he said, "Obama". He has several variations of this speech and they include lines such as, "America for cange (change)!", "The states of America!" and my personal favorite, "Thomas for America!" - can't beat that platform! Look out Barack, her comes Brock!

Cory's Race

Here is the start of Cory's race last weekend. He is easy to spot...he is in front! He came in second in his class.

Comments!!!

I've been try to figure this out forever. After pouring over many help forums I finally found the glitch. So, now you can post comments to our blog under the postings! You know...things like, "Brock is the cutest baby in the world"...."and the smartest"....ha ha. We would love to hear from you, so comment away!

What a cute family...

Johnstone Studios (see link to the right) can make anyone look good with their amazing photography skills-even a family with an active and slightly grumpy toddler! Trevor and Tourine took our first official family pictures and they turned out great.
