Baby D #2

This week marks 14 weeks with Baby D #2! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is already going by! On January 13th Matt and I got quite the surprise when I took a pregnancy test (or 3) and it (they) were positive. We weren't planning on having another baby this soon but we are definitely excited. The new baby is due September 18th, so Ellis will be 16 months old. We've heard from everyone that the next few years will be a blur but that we will survive. We know it's going to be crazier than we could ever imagine but it's such a blessing that our children will be so close in age and hopefully best friends. 

So far this pregnancy has been different than with Ellis. This time I'm tolerating sweets (yay!) but I have a lot more morning & evening sickness (boo!)   I'm hoping that the sickness will subside soon but am thankful that I feel well during the day for work. At 14 weeks Baby D is the size of a lemon and weighs about 1.5 ounces. I think it's amazing that this little baby can already squint, frown, grimace & possibly suck his/her thumb! So far everything is going well and we're just ready to meet this little guy/girl!

Ellis at 9 months, 1 week

I know that Ellis is almost 10 months (next Saturday) and I'm just getting to her 9 month post but I'm not going to stress about it! I've been off this week for spring break and have loved spending that time with my little girl, even if I didn't get all of the housework, "work" work, or blogging done that I had hoped! She's just growing so fast that she kept me entertained and busy all day! This post will have a few fun facts about Ellis at 9 months and pictures, but honestly her 10 month post will probably have more details since I can't exactly remember everything she was doing 3 weeks ago when she technically turned 9 months.

And as you'll see below, the DeMott household has been ready and excited about March Madness for the last 3 weeks! (Some of us have been excited longer than that...)

Ellis at 9 months you:

• Weighed 16 lbs, 3 oz and were 26 3/4 inches long
• Started army crawling
• Still love music and "dance" anytime you hear it 
• Are a big talker, saying "dada, mama, nnnn, pppp" and various squeals and screeches
• Are still eating baby food but are trying some "finger" foods
• Are completely weaned and on all formula

Ellis says, "Go Jayhawks!"

Watch out world, here she comes!

Ellis,

You are full of new and exciting things every day! You definitely keep us busy and we can't remember what we did before you were here! We love you!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy
