My Boys

Mason had his first dentist appointment this past week! Katelyn and Kylie were such great examples and showed him how to be brave. Mason did great and kept giving me this look like he was just a little confused. He loved getting a new tooth brush since brushing his teeth is one of his favorite things. His teeth looked good, just getting a little crooked from his pacifier. But as of Christmas break he has been pacifier free except bed time and nap time. And even then we have put him to sleep without it a couple times and he has fallen right to sleep. The dentist said it wasn't bad and his teeth should just correct themselves. It was actually easier than I thought to take his pacifier away. Just have to work on sleep time now and to keep his fingers and thumb that he now loves to suck on, out of his mouth.


As for my other little boy, I can't believe we only have 5 more weeks left until he will be here! 37 more days.
Two ultrasounds ago he was measuring only 2 1/2 weeks behind and i was really excited but at my last ultrasound when I was 33 weeks he was measuring 3 weeks behind again and they estimated that he weighed 2 pounds 11 oz. which is smaller than Katelyn and Kylie were and they were born at 30 weeks. So it does make me worry a little bit. But the kind ultrasound tech reminded me of something important. She asked if I have been able to enjoy this pregnancy at all. I told her that it has been hard because I have just worried a lot. She then told me to try and just enjoy these last weeks and reminded me of the miracle of pregnancy. And she is right! It is such a miracle to be pregnant and I am going to enjoy every last minute I have left of this pregnancy.
This little boy may be small but he is tough! He throws out some kicks that actually hurt pretty bad. I know my other kids were really active but I don't remember their kicks hurting.
Coming up with boy names is super hard but I think we have narrowed it down to three. Either Tyson, Tanner, or Tyler.
My favorite is Tyson but I don't know if I want both of my boys' names to end in son. So we will have to think about it a little longer. Any suggestions are welcome!

The ultrasound tech had a hard time getting a clear picture of this boy's face! It is squished up next to the placenta and he constantly has his hands covering his face. Plus the umbilical cord was up by his face too. But I love the picture of his hand. And the glimpses I got of him looks a lot like Mason.
