Texas Trip 2009

Texas Trip 2009

   We had a wonderful time in Texas visiting with friends and family despite making 2 trips to the ER with Adeline for vomiting, lethargy and dehydration. We ended up having to stay two extra days since Adeline was too sick to fly much to the chagrin of Chad and Tracy as they both contracted her illness. 

   We thoroughly enjoyed all of our exciting activities including going to the ICE show at the Gaylord Texan with the Sones's, Baby #3's baby shower brunch, taking the kids to the Log Cabin Village and Fort Worth Zoo, and how could I forget the newest and quite possibly most entertaining game of all time, "Manparts" at Chad & Tracy's BBQ.

   And the meals, oh the delicious Texas food. It was hard trying to convince my OB that the 12 pounds I gained in 5 weeks was "all baby" but I knew the trips to Babe's Chicken House, Kincaid's, Reata and the many other delectable restaurants we frequented couldn't have had anything to do with it.

Baby #3's 21 Week Ultrasound

Mom and I braved the treacherous snow in Seattle to get to my follow-up ultrasound appointment on Dec. 23 to make sure all was okay with Baby #3, as she is so fondly called until we can decide on a name. She was very active during this appointment and the ultrasound tech had no problems seeing everything she needed to see. Her heart looks great and we were able to get a few good profile shots. She was even sucking her thumb for part of the visit just like her big sister. 

Cox Baby #3 is a.....

girl!!! 

God has blessed us with two beautiful and healthy children and we are so excited to be welcoming another baby girl at the end of April. She was quite stubborn during the ultrasound though and we will be going back in two weeks to hopefully get the heart and facial assessment done as the radiologist was not able to get the views he needed to tell us she is totally healthy. Her brain, spinal cord and bones look great but the only picture we came home with yesterday was of a foot. Poor Carter was in the ultrasound room with us for over an hour and a half as the radiology tech had me doing jumping jacks trying to get the baby to move. We were lucky to even find out the sex as she kept her legs tightly closed (hopefully that will be a lasting habit until she is married) until the very end of the scan. We will continue to update as we learn more about our latest addition!
