Ohhhh GIRLS just wanna have fu--un!!

The newest member of the Hall family is going to be a GIRL!

This is a picture of a HEALTHY placenta! That was first and foremost!

This is a shot of her bottom--notice nothing between the legs!! Very CLEAR picture!

This is her getting ready to do a flip!

This is a profile pic--her head is to the right, belly to the left!

This is another profile shot, face on the right--with the umbilical cord right next to her face!

Look for her debut on or before July 16, 2009!!!

Feel like singing!

Being 20 weeks pregnant makes me want to jam to Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer!!!! I think the only person that will appreciate this is Haley!!! HAHA!

Here is a picture from when I was 20 weeks with Connor

Comparing to this pregnancy at 20 weeks!!!

We are halfway done!!!! 20 weeks, and actually LESS THAN 20 left! Since having small babies doesn't run in our family, we will probably be having a scheduled c-section around 38 weeks. (Jeremy and I have decided against another vaginal birth. After going through labor and delivery....and the horrific events following the birth of Connor, we're just not sure either of us can go through that again. We both want to schedule a date and have this little baby out minutes after I'm cut open.....no waiting and wondering all during labor and pushing.)

Haley and I were both nice little 6 lb babies, but we seem to produce these healthy 8lb children--with giant heads!!! Jayden's head measured 14 cm and Cyndi looked up and found that Connor's head measured 13.5 cm! Both boys were over 8 lbs!! Both boys were born at 38+ weeks! Although...I got an epidural, Haley didn't!!! :( I only pushed for 45 minutes, Haley pushed for 2 HOURS, yes....2 HOURS! I just thought it would be fun to compare our births :)

So I got on the scale first thing this morning..... Last week I weighed 144 lbs. Today the scale read 147! OOPS!!! 3 lbs in one week!! I haven't been in the pool yet this week, so maybe that's why.....because it sure wouldn't be that I've eaten sycamore ice cream twice in 3 days!!! I think as long as I keep swimming, I won't let myself get too large!!!! I have gained a total of 5 lbs this pregnancy...I'm not going to complain. I think I had gained at least 15 at this point with Connor.

We are going to the Dr. on Friday! Don't miss out on the exciting news!

(Oh, and Bethany, did you notice I FINALLY finished my ironing?!)

Updated design

Here is the updated t-shirt design for Connor's 5k Run/Walk. I absolutely LOVE it. Those are Connor's feet that they took from his baby book.....thank goodness for graphic artists!

19 Weeks. Sorry it's Late!

Did you really think I was going to post pictures of my belly first when THIS cute guy is definitely way more exciting!?!?!

Well here you go!

This is going to be a quick post!!! Here we are at 19 weeks!!! I have been feeling great!! Feeling the baby move more and more. The scale still reads 144lbs.....I'm pretty shocked! All of the aerobics and swimming is paying off!! I eat whatever I want, but I seem to work it off!

Haley, Justin and Jayden made it home on Thursday and are all doing great!!! I'm guessing as soon as we get some warm weather and grandma and grandpa Deeter get their pool open he'll be backstroking his way through the summer :)

We have 82 entries for the run!!!!! So many people are coming out so support, it's going to be a great day....

Told you it was short, busy day today!!!

WELCOME BABY JAYDEN WILLIAM RAMER

And the newest member of our family!!!!!!!!!

Shoutout!

My blogger friend, Sara, has awarded me a "Shoutout"! She wants me to list 10 quirks about myself....this will be waaay too easy! Sara is also pregnant and her baby GIRL (1st u/s says girl) is due within a week of our UNKNOWN baby!!!!

So here goes--10 quirks about me:

1. I have to sleep with my socks on. I don't know why, but having my bare feet touching the covers or my husbands feet without socks totally wigs me out! He says it's so I can make for a quick getaway in the middle of the night, but it's just because I don't like the feeling of my bare feet touching stuff under the covers! Which is weird...I'm a swimmer, so being barefoot is something I do very often!
2. I have the same routine every time I shower. I wash my hair, wash my face, put conditioner in my hair and let it set while I wash my body, then I BRUSH the conditioner out of my hair then rinse. Then I stand in the shower as hot as I can get it for about 3-4 minutes and then get out.
3. I hate laundry. I don't mind shoving clothes in the washer and dryer, but I hate the folding part. I'm not a real lazy person, but when it comes to laundry, I'm lazy. If I'm right, there is still a load of towels in the drying from the laundry that I "finished" on Monday night. They'll get folded on Sunday.
4. I'm obsessed with Jon and Kate Plus 8. I DVR their show every Monday night at 9 p.m. I missed it this week because the bachelor was on and I wanted to see who he was breaking up with and couldn't watch it unless I stopped recording Jon and Kate. I have already been on TLC to see if I can watch the episode I missed!
5. I have a strange and unique family. My family is very close. We hang out together most weekends and have fun doing nothing. We are all very open about EVERYTHING......sometimes a little too open. If someone who is not part of our family is over at the house, they may think we're pretty weird to talk about the things we talk about.
6. I can't go a day without checking my blog to see if anyone has updated. It's an obsession. If they had meetings for it, I would need to attend.
7. If I don't work out everyday I feel like a lazy piece of crap. My sister used to not understand that I couldn't miss my aerobics classes at the Y.... She has since joined the Y and has become obsessed with working out, too. I guess it's a good obsession.
8. I LOVE CHOCOLATE. I have a problem. My husband says so. I can down a box of nutty bars in less than 5 days. He is hoping that my problem with eating so much junk food doesn't rub off on our kids.
9. I'm needy. I like to be loved on. Whenever we go to my parents I make my mom rub and scratch my back. I make my husband do it every once in awhile, but noone give a good back scratchin' like your good ol' mom! :)
10. I hate touching raw meat with my bare hands. I have a huge box of latex gloves so that when I have to deal with raw meat, I can slip them on and not feel so icky.

Ok. SO those are a few quirky things about myself. There are MANY more, but I kept myself to the limit of 10! Now I'm going to give a SHOUTOUT (2 because I want to know 10 quirks about both of them!!!) to my sister, HALEY, and my blogger friend ELLYN (we each have a baby boy up in heaven--they were both born on 3/28, just 1 year apart) These 10 quirks outta be good!! :)

18 weeks and another pound!

Here was the gas filled belly at 17 weeks!!!!

Here is the belly feeling much better at 18 weeks!

The ALMOST finished plate of special "K" bars that my Katy K brought to me on Tuesday--along with the Single Ladies CD!!!

Things have been going really great!!! I had been fighting some really horrible gas type pains in my lower left side of my belly. I'm not sure why, but after fighting it for 4 day, it finally disappeared!!! I hope that doesn't come back!! Weighed in this morning at 144 lbs! Another pound I have gained making that 2 pounds so far!!! Let's hope that I don't get on a 1 lb/week type of pattern! :)

We have 60 entries for Connor's 5k!!! I'm so excited that we have such a great turnout ALREADY! Get your entries in quickly so that you can get the t-shirt and bracelet!

I have lots to do tonight to get some things ready for a fundraiser that Jake at Amelios is helping us with.

Hope to be posting pictures of BABY RAMER here pretty sure!!!!!! She's JUST ABOUT 4cm dilated and will go at any time!!!!!

Too much to do, so little time!
