Easter Bunny Pictures

Grayson loved meeting the Easter Bunny.  He was all smiles for the camera which made it easy to photograph.  We got some great photos of our sweet little boy.  

Baby Braham #2 - Ultrasound & Belly Pictures at 16 Weeks

We had our 16 week ultrasound and OB appointment and it went really well.  The baby measured a little big (measured 16 weeks, but I was actually 15 weeks 4 days), had a strong heartbeat at 144 and weighed 4 ounces.  They confirmed we are expecting a little boy.  We are so excited!

This pregnancy has been flying by and I'm still feeling great, but definitely feel tired.  It's hard to keep up with Grayson as he is going a mile a minute.  I'm not sure how I'm going to handle two boys (oh my!), but I know I'll figure it out, especially since Grayson will be such a great big brother. :)  I always said I would have all boys and I can't believe my vision is coming true.  I'm so happy and still shocked that I'm having another baby.  We are so blessed.  Now we just have to wait for baby boy #2...24 more weeks to go!

My belly pictures - boy is it getting big!

Here's what BabyCenter says about 16 weeks:

Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erectthan it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Girls' Weekend Trip to Phoenix

We had our yearly girls' weekend in Phoenix, Arizona March 12-15.  This year it included myself, my Mom, cousin Mia, Aunt Denise, Aunt Cindy, cousin Dennis' wife Kim, cousin Pat's wife Jenni and our honorary member this year was my cousin Dennis.  (Dennis and Kim live in Phoenix)  We had so much fun hanging out and catching up.  We laughed and laughed and laughed until we were crying.  (favorite story of Aunt Denise and Mia on the Disney tram will do it to you every time)  We went out to dinner two nights (Mexican and Italian) and cooked at home one night (Mexican).  We had fun hiking (we made it to the top), talking outside on the beautiful patio by the outdoor fireplace, grocery shopping at an authentic Mexican grocery store, cooking our Mexican feast, drinking lots of wine (minus me), eating lots of candy from the two sided kitchen cabinets and eating lots of desserts (Jenni made a homemade tiramisu). 

What a fun trip with some amazing ladies!  The Beurskens ladies sure know how to party!
