Houston Lee Jarvis 3D Photos / 30 weeks 5 days

Here is Houston Lee Jarvis 3D Photos!

This is his face with his eyes closed and he has a scrunched nose

This was the best picture we got of his face because he kept moving.

His eyes were opened and his tongue was sticking out with a little smile. Look how petite his features look! This one he moved a little bit but his eyes were half open and he was pressing his face up against the unbilical cord This one he closed his eyes and tried to hide, he moved right when he took the picture so it doesn't look like much This is the top of his head measuring 7.79 cm

His tummy measuring 25.5 cm

He's still a boy! There's what Dr Roberts calls it, "His Turtle"

The arrow it pointing at the tip

And here is his leg being meaured at 5.66 cm His legs are tucked up to his chest. And Dr Roberts says he is in the right position.

I asked Dr Roberts if the nurse was right that the baby was measuring smaller than he is suppose to be and he said because of how tiny i am i will measure small, but according to the ultrasound, Houston got a pretty big head start because he is measuring a couple weeks bigger then he should be. I think he said 32 weeks and i am only 30 weeks, so I KNEW IT!!!! I knew i felt uncomfortable a lot faster than i did with Braiden! Well besides the ultrasound, everything looked great. We would have gotten more pictures but laying on my back and him pushing on everythin i started to get really nauseous and he ended it a little early so i wouldn't throw up on him or myself. That has never happend to me before, it was the weirdest feeling, but anyway! I hope you guys enjoyed these pictures! I sure did! It was definately neat to see and my doctor gave me the CD for free!!! I was pretty excited to not have to pay $150 for the pictures! YAY! Now the countdown is on! I can't wait for this little guy to come meet us! Braiden is even getting super excited! I want to hear what you all think what he will look like!

My guess is Blonde Hair Blue Eyes! It would be fun to have him look a little more like me, but i will be happy with anything! I am just so excited! That's it for now!

Pains....

I feel like a planet today! And i have the lovely internal bruises all around my belly, so everytime Houston moves i get my breath taken away and sometimes i want to cry! I am measuring smaller than i am suppose to be, but i honestly feel like this baby is bigger. I didn't start feeling the internal bruises and feeling unconfortable with Braiden until I was about 8 1/2 months. I am not even 7 months yet, well i have a week left, but i feel worse earlier with this one than i did with Braiden. So my personal opinion the baby is bigger than Braiden was haha! I tired to paint my toes today and all i could do was cry because i can't reach them, or even see them... I have sweet ladies in my ward throwing me a "Diaper Shower" in February, and i was totally excited when they told me of course i cried and said they were so sweet to think of me! I love my ward and the Sweet friends i've made in primary! I am so blessed to have them in my life! Haha yes if you are wondering i am choking up again just typing how sweet they are! I have been SUPER emotional lately can ya tell?! Well i have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning at 11am, i get to see my sweet baby boy in 3D! Braiden and my mom are coming because my mom has to work tomorrow morning and doesn't get off until 10am and that's when i have to leave for the appointment, so i am meeting her at the doctors so she might as well stay and see the cool 3D ultrasound! I am so excited i can hardly stand it! If i get picture(s) i will post them when i get home! I hope i get at least 1! Until then!

Galveston Beach Day

My mom, Braiden and I went to Galveston to Crystal Beach yesterday and we had so much fun! It was just us 3 and we played in the sand, collected shells, and ran from the water when the waves came in because it was freezing cold! I swear the water was 55 degrees, it took our breathe away everytime it touched our feet. We drove our truck on a ferry to the beach here are some pictures

Grandma Cyni and Braiden Some pretty cool ships Texas Flag

I guess there is a story about some guy who built a boat out of the heaviest material he could find to prove he could make it sail and he only got this far and sank almost immediately. So this is a picture of it rotting today, and yes the water is that shallow

Mommy and Braiden

This was a cool looking boat

Ride home Braiden fell alseep, it was adorable

I'm so sad, my mom took the most adorable pictures of Braiden hugging my belly on the beach and the pictures she took didn't save on the memory card. I really hope we can go spend the day at the beach again and take more pictures!

10 Weeks Left

10 weeks left of my pregnancy!! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by! It is completely insane! But we are so excited to meet this little guy! I am hoping to do maternity pictures in a month. I wanted to do them in a few weeks but Josh purposly shaved his head knowing that, so I am waiting a month for his hair to grow back, and since we are a little short on cash I am having my mom just take our pictures. I am so excited! I have never had maternity pictures done before!

I got bored and took these myself, I think they turned out pretty cute! Timers on cmaeras are awesome!

Random Pictures of Braiden

Here are some funny pictures of Braiden y just to update those that check up on him and see how much he has grown! He is such a character these days and he says funniest things! It has been such a wonderful time watching him grow from a timy new born to a crazy wild 2 year old! I wish he would stay a little baby because he is growin too fast, but he is turning into such a good kid! Love you Bubba and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of the good job you are doing, going potty! Love you!

Braiden Potty Training

If you have a queezy stomach, do not read this post! There is a nasty picture of.... well you know! It's Potty Training!!!

Braiden runs and hides when he has to do #2, not sure why, but he does and this is what happens when you get busy doing something else and not paying attention where your 2 year old went....

He has an accident.... on the floor. Well first let me explain. Braiden is scared to go poo because he says it hurts everytime he goes. Which is pretty normal right? Well he doesn't like the way it makes him feel so after this incident i decided that he holds his poo and if you scroll down to the bottom of this post you will know what i mean...

Anyway... we found his accident and cleaned it up and explained to him that poo goes in the toilet and you flush it so it goes bye bye and it won't be ewww anymore.

He now understnads he cannot hold his poo, he needs to let it out in the toilet so it can be flushed bye bye.

Josh cracking up at the site! And Showing it off, I don't know why guys do that, but yeah..... Showing Braiden where poo goes and how an flush it bye bye Yeah..... on the floor byhis toys he took off his undies and went poo... This is why i think he held his poo because he didn't go for 3 whole days!!! That explains a lot doesn't it?! I swear this thing was as big as his leg! No joke! This is probably the only time i will ever take a picture of his poo, to explain the joys of potty training! And please don't even begin to ask me why it is the color it is.... i really don't know what he ate to make it that color... yuck Well this is good journaling stuff so i never forget these fun, growing moments, so sorry if you are offended by my quite funny experience of potty training so far! Ihave more to come! Braiden's Potty Chart!

I think he has done pretty good with how long we've been doing it! Well the Peeing he has done great... The pooing... well duh, that still needs a lot of work! He did go once in the potty only because i caught him hiding and grunting!

Here's how his rewarding goes:

1 mark = 1 piece of candy

3 marks = a $dollar$ (that was his agreement)

5 marks = a toy from the store or lunch with mom/dad

Accidents:

1= dollar taken away

3= toy taken away

5= can no longer play the Wii

So far it has worked out pretty well! Before we started taking stuff away for accidents because he just didn't want to go potty, he would purposly pee his pants, then when we started to do the punishment part he told me everytime he had potty, even at stores, and he only ended up having 1 accident a day and so far so good. If he has a true accident he is not punished for it.
