How time flies

Here I am at 19 wks prego
Here I am at 23 wks prego
I can't believe I am little over half way through my pregnancy and already looking like I am going to pop.  This pregnancy has been an interesting one, from having a roller coaster like diabetes result from taking me off Metformin to our little man not like being touched.  Whenever someone wants to feel him move he moves over so he isn't being pushed on...oh, by the way...IT'S A BOY!!  Clayton doesn't quite get it yet, but he knows that mommy has a baby in her tummy, even if he thinks I ate it to get it in there, LOL!
 We were able to have Amanda come and visit us for her spring break at the end of March/beginning of April.  It was so much fun, we went up to USU for a tour and they even provided lunch and yummy Aggie ice cream for us...delicious.  The sad part of the visit was Amanda getting sick when she was here.  She got some type of stomach bug, so sad.  But no worries, Vic to the rescue to baby her back to health before she had to fly back out.
 Clayton has developed a sweet tooth.  He really enjoys cupcakes and ice cream...well let me revise the cupcake part, he REALLY love just the frosting off the cupcake, as you can tell from his picture.

We took him to Subzero for the first time, since he has been older anyways.  He really liked seeing all the nitrogen running off the counter and onto the floor.  He would keep going up to the counter to watch and then look at me and say "burr mommy, cold!"


 Since the weather has been a little nicer I have been trying to get Clayton out as much as possible, which makes for a less hyper kid in the house.  The winter has been a little hard because it has been to cold to play outside and release all that energy.

We have become a frequent visitor to the Wheeler Farm.  Clayton enjoys feeding the ducks and seeing all the animals.  Chris and I have been trying to get Clayton over his fear of horses.  So this last time we had him give a horse a piece of straw, and he did really well with that.  Of course dad had to be there to help though.  I just can't believe how big he is getting, he is not my little boy anymore, he is my toddler and he's a big brother.  I know that he is going to be such a big help with the baby and is going to want to help with him.

Which reminds me, Chris is still stuck on the idea of naming our kids after a Final Fantasy character.  I mentioned that I like the name Barrett, not knowing that was a name of a character from the game, so of course he got excited and agreed that would be a good name and began searching online for photos of who the character so I could see him.  Then, of course, he brought up the name Sephiroth again.  I jokingly made the comment that if this labor took more than 15 hours that we could name him that, and to my surprise Chris took me seriously.  I am thinking I might have to give in sooner or later and let our kid have that as a middle name of something, he'd love that, right?

We made a cute little superhero cape for Clayton, he got to decorate it with dad after I cut it out of one of Chris's old shirts.  He loves it.  He is such a cute little man in it running around.
