Butterbean's 12 week pics

We went for our 12 week appointment on June 15th, all was well and we got to see our sweet baby! I love that you can see his/her little foot and toes and hand covering his/her face! We learned several things at this appointment: 1) as of right now there are no signs of Down Syndrome or anything else abnormal; 2) Baby's heart rate is in the 140's and baby is 5 almost 6 cm; and 3) Baby has a bit of an attitude if provoked!
At first Baby was coorperative, on his/her back and perfectly still, allowing the doc to take good pics look at the heart beat, etc. Well then the doc needed to look from a different angle, but Baby wouldn't move. So the doctor pressed a little hader. That did not go over well with Baby, because all of a sudden he/she started kicking and pushing back with it's feet. He/she then flipped over in his/her side grabbed it's ear with one hand and covered it's face with this other! Baby said "I'm done, quit messing with me!" Thankfully he/she rolled the way the doc needed and she was able to finish the sonogram! If this is any indication of personality, we are going to have our hands full!

Beach Trip

The week before Memorial Day we went to the beach with Aunt Mae and family. It was wonderful! I went down before DJ and navigated my way through Pensacola to pick him up at the airport so that he could enjoy the beach too! I had a blast relaxing, while DJ got worn out by Swayze, Jake and Justin!


We were able to enjoy the beach and water in the evenings. Thanks to Gina we have some wonderful pictures!


Even butterbean enjoyed the beach! And as Aunt Mae put it "I think that we adapt very well to the beach!" It is strange to think that next year we will have a 5 month old when beach trip time comes around again! I can't wait!
