This week marks the half way point of "Nugget's" development. On Wednesday, I was will officially be 20 weeks. I was able to go to Anchorage for my ultra-sound this week - it's so exciting to "see" the baby. And it's a .... NOPE - NO PEAKING!! Just like with Leinna we wanted to be surprised - so we won't know if Nugget is a girl or boy until baby is born. My due date is still for March 28th
Unlike Leinna, this baby did not want a profile picture taken. This was the clearest shot we could get. With Leinna, we were able to capture all sorts of profile shots- even a few 3D images. Nope not this one... In fact the baby started to put up his/her hands like in a boxing position- saying that was enough of trying to see his/her profile!
We were able to capture this 3D image of the baby's legs with his/her feet crossed at the bottom of the image.
During the ultra-sound you could see the baby drinking fluid - I mean actually see the baby's mouth opening and closing- that was pretty cool. Also, just like Leinna, this baby had the hic-cups! The ultra-sound technician would get lined up and ready to do a measurement and then - hic-up- the baby would jerk and the position would move. Ha,ha....
If the second half of pregnancy goes as quickly as the first half, before I know it I will be blogging whether Leinna has a little sister or a little brother.
Leinna has started to realize that my belly is getting bigger. She likes to lift my shirt and give the belly a kiss and hug. I wonder if she can hear the baby when she lays her head on my stomach? Regardless - it's cute and makes my heart just melt when she says, "Baby" and gives the belly a kiss.
Leinna's also been busy trying to figure out how to use silverware. Just couldn't resist snapping this shot of her using a spoon to eat some prunes!
Hope everyone enjoys an extra hour of rest with day light saving's ending tonight. I just hope Leinna gets the message too :O)
I thought Leinna may enjoy helping me in the kitchen this year, however she was very content to sit in her high chair and watch what Momma was doing. 
Leinna absolutely LOVED the pool. It took a few minutes for her to realize the fun she could have - but once she did... I just can't find the words to describe it. We will definitely be going back - even "Nugget" liked the pool. When I got out of the pool- the baby was very active!

October 2009 - newly pregnant and no one knew our news yet!
She also found it quite entertaining this weekend to put her socks on her hands and try to pick up her toys. I thought for sure she was going to get frustrated, but nope- she just kept trying and would laugh at herself when she couldn't do it.
but she comes running (no joke) around the corner of the kitchen into the living-room and pulls the hat off with a look of - ha,ha... I scared you! 
Her 15 month check-up went well. She's almost 25 pounds and 31 inches tall.
I'm already slacking on my photos for "Nugget" compared to my pregnancy with Leinna. I suppose it's due the fact that I'm so tired by the time Leinna goes to sleep - the last thing I want to do is take a picture. Fortunately, I snapped this one before going to work - a rare morning that we had some extra time :O)
Finally - the weather is changing in our part of the world. We had some heavy frost on our deck this morning. While it was a sunny, beautiful day in Cordova, the sun did not hit our deck and we had the same level of frost when we got home. We know it's getting closer to winter when the direct sunlight doesn't hit the house anymore. :o( Although, I'm looking forward to Leinna playing in the snow. She loves being outside and I think she'll have fun playing in it.
