Valentine's Day & Baby Updates!

Happy Valentine's Day from the Wilson's! 

Today is Valentine's Day, Gavin's 11 month birthday, 11 weeks preggo for me, ONE MONTH until Gavin's birthday and ONE MONTH until we found out the sex of the new baby. That's a lot of stuff for just one day, so let's dive right in...

We spent the morning sleeping in, cuddled in our beds.......hahaha, yeah right. The boys know when it's a Saturday and pick that day to wake up extra early! Oh well, it just meant we got right to business with our holiday fun! We started the morning with flowers, cards, heart-shaped pancakes & strawberries, candy and lots of fun goodies for my littlest Valentine's.

We filled up the new cups with milk and read our new book about love. 

They are kind of the sweetest things ever.

Onto the next thing...Happy 11 Months, Gavin Lee! 

He is quite the character, that's for sure! His hair is still as red as can be, and that temper hasn't dwindled down a single bit. ;)

He is FINALLY sleeping through the night...hallelujah! He goes to bed with a 4oz bottle of milk (we'll get to that fun part next...) and sleeps until 7:30am. It may have taken 11 months, but the fact that I finally get a full night's sleep is so fabulous. 

He unfortunately has stopped nursing for the most part. I can still get him to nurse first thing in the morning and mayyyybe once throughout the day, but being pregnant has caused my supply to drastically decrease and he just isn't interested anymore. I now pump throughout the day so that I can give him a full bottle before he goes to sleep. Since he's not nursing through the day, his doctor told me I can introduce whole milk a little early to make sure he's getting plenty of liquids. Yeah, he hates milk. And fruit. So he's still on baby food to make sure he's getting healthy stuff in that fat little body of his. He is definitely making everything just a little more difficult in life, but GOSH he's cute!

He has turned into a little ham...when he wants to be, of course. He laughs a lot more now...he might even laugh more than he whines...and that's a first in his short little life!

When he wants something, he wants it now. This is his, "Give me what you have right now before I throw myself backwards & scream bloody murder" face.

Not sure of his height or weight, but he's wearing 12-18 month clothes & size 4 diapers. We have started planning his 1st birthday party for next month, along with a little gender reveal afterwards. 

He has started watching cartoons a little more, which is great for us considering we have a road trip to Disney in two months! He LOVES his big brother. Loves to beat up his big brother. He loves his daddy. Loves his stuffed animal. Loves his pacis and LOVES bathtime. 

He hates having his diaper changed and being told no.

Happy 11 months you crazy little ginger baby!

And of course, Christian wanted to have his picture taken, too!

This little man is the sweetest, most loving little boy I have ever met. Some of my favorite phrases:

"Mommy, you are so bootyful."

"Mommy, you are my best friend in the whole world."

"Mommy, can we snuggle? You give the best snuggles."

"Mommy, you are the sweetest girl."

Gavin might be sour most of the time, but Christian makes up for it with his sweet, sensitive soul.

And Happy 11 weeks to the newest member of the family. Baby #3 is the size of a lime and making me so sleepy & nauseous! I've gained about 2 pounds, but I feel huge. I guess they were right when they said every pregnancy you feel bigger earlier. 

I had my 1st visit with Dr. B yesterday, and she said everything looks great. She's ready for another VBAC, and gave me a fistbump for how awesome we did with the last one. I love having a doctor that not only supports my decisions, but gets excited with me, as well! We had an ultrasound to check on the little bebe, and it was movin' and groovin', so the pictures are blurry. Heartbeat was 174...only one more month until we find out boy or girl! We will find out the morning of Gavin's birthday, but I'm telling you, it's another stinkin', rotten boy! Good thing I make 'em cute! ;) 

Whew! That was a lot of info packed into one blog! Thanks for sticking with me!

 I hope everyone enjoys their Valentine's Day! We have a group date night with our neighbors planned, and I for one am pretty excited about getting out of the house!

Until next time!
