...BOY!!

I hear Ryder waking up, so I only have a moment to blog, but is was so exciting opening this gift and sharing the news with our family! Balloons came shooting out of our package as soon as we opened it and we loved opening all the little boy packages inside.  We owe Jen a HUGE! thank you for pulling this all together.  We couldn't have imagined a more special morning :)

To share the news with family, I made fortune cookies with the gender inside :)

We are so excited to welcome another little boy into our home.  Ryder and baby #2 are going to have so much fun causing trouble together ;)

Baby boy Billing - 21 weeks

Merry Christmas!

We had a super exciting Christmas morning at the Billing house.  We found out the gender of our second baby!!  I woke up a million times throughout the night to check the time and see if it was late enough for me to wake us all up to go open our present!  I had dreams of it being both a boy and a girl...

Opening our "gender present"!!

We are super excited to share the news - I'll be posting it tomorrow after telling family in person :)

We also opened presents from Santa, family & friends :)

Have a Merry Christmas :)

3 Days till Christmas!

Which means...3 days until we find out the gender of our baby! 

Will it be a boy...or a girl???

Holiday Spirit

This kid is so funny.  Most pictures are initiated by me.  Most of these, however, were requested by Ryman.  He almost cried when I said I was putting my camera away! Lol!

We're looking forward to celebrating with our families this weekend!! :)

20 Weeks

More pictures!  Yesterday we had another ultrasound to double check a couple things from last week.  I'm relieved to say that everything checked out perfectly!  At the end, she switched the machine to 3D/4D and we were able to see our little one so much more clearly.  It was crazy - I felt like we got to peak inside my tummy!  It is so cool to see the baby on screen and feel him / her move at the same time :)

At 20 weeks now, I feel baby moving every day, for most of the day, and his / her movements are getting stronger.  Baby weighs 12oz with a heart rate of 142 bpm. 

Our baby! Placenta to the left and umbilical cord by his / her face.

Arm and hand - the tech was actually able to count all ten fingers and toes :)

Tiny little foot

Baby from the outside at 20 wks...still comfy in most of my clothes - which is totally different from my first pregnancy.  I think I was wearing maternity pants at 16 weeks last time!

Holiday Art for Daddy

With daddy gone at a work dinner last night, we thought we'd make him something special.  We spent almost 2 hours just doing art projects!  He loved it and was so careful with the paint.  Here's the special project for daddy:
