They decorated Valentine boxes (well he is a boy so I mostly decorated it Ü), and cupcakes, ate lunch and traded valentines. I think he had a lot of fun.

Last week we made and decorated some cupcakes of our own. Note to self: don't try to make your cupcakes low fat by using half oil and half water, they taste the same but don't stay together. Koen mostly just licked his knife repeatedly and enjoyed "sharing" (or eating half) his cupcakes with Grandma and Grandpa.
On a side note I think Koen is "feeling" all our changes. Which ones are affecting him most I am not sure (baby, my school, babysitters etc)He has started acting extremely whinny and cryey. It is really obnoxious. I have been trying to spend more time playing with him when I am home and he is awake, is that going to backfire when the baby comes and I cant do that anymore? He has only been napping a few times a week which makes it hard because I count on that time to study. So then I end up "trying" to study while he is awake. As I am getting in to the thick of the semester I realize it is going to be quite hard to get all the studying in I need to get my necessary B's.As for the baby I have taken Ko to my last couple Doctors appointments which he thinks is great. I think he thinks anytime he gets to come with mom and not go to someones house is excellent. At 18 weeks I was measuring 20 cm or whatever, basically two weeks big, and was a little dissapointed at my ultrasound when the baby measured right on, I mean who wants to be bigger than necessary when it isn't the baby? So when I went in this past week I was measuring just a little bit small. So I must have just had a growth spurt and then kinda stayed the same. Everything else checked out great too. However I do have my 3rd and 4th (yes that is right, two at one time) coldsores for this pregnancy so my doc gave me a prescription if I get another one. Random question for any moms out there, when did you start wearing maternity clothes? I keep thinking I should probably start busting mine out but have been delaying it remembering how sick I got of them all by the end last time.
22 weeks, before church is really the only time someone else can take a picture of me.Still no names, people keep asking and it is a sensitive topic. haha. We really dont agree very easily on names, especially boy names and for that reason a girl would have been nice because they seem to come a little easier. Any suggestions are welcome. I am a person who would really like a name BEFORE the baby is being birthed, but that just may not happen this time.

Cute post leesh! Ko is getting so big. Love the prego shots! Sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now...hang in there! I will brainstorm some names..i can imagine how hard it is to agree on one name for the rest of your and your childs life!!
Happy-V-day!
I hope things work out for you, as dental hygine school is tough (my cousin went it to it as well). You're smart though, so don't worry. Just tell Phil to get his butt in the game, as there were so many times that you took the kid when he had to study, he should be able to do the same for you. Haha. Well, I like the names Donovan and Gabriel. But ya, girls names I think are much prettier than male names. OF course, you could always name the baby Phil junior. ^_^
Oh my gosh you are so busy! Good luck with all the changes. I think 8 months down the road and Addie has become permanantly whiny! :) Good luck with the name game - number 2 was much harder. As for maternity clothes, I think I pulled mine out around 24 weeks and realized how much more comfortable I was. But I did want to burn them by the end.
You look awesome! I was for sure wearing maternity clothes when I was as far along as you are. And yes, by the end I was SO sick of those same few outfits! But really, you look way cute pregnant!
The Valentine's Party is a cute idea! I want to try that with Summer and Mandy next year:)
And that's too bad about Koen right now. As a new mom of two, my advice would be to spend as much time with Koen right now as you possibly can. Once that new baby comes, those one-on-one playtimes happen next to never:) I sometimes miss just hangin' out with my little Summer - not that Mandy isn't a fun addition:) Hopefully he'll get used to the new changes soon, and you'll have more time to study:) Good luck with everything - it sounds like your plate is full. And sorry about the long novel I've written:)
You look so dang cute!! you are the cutest pregnant girl I know!! I am so excited for you!! Yeah that your having a boy!! Lets get together soon!!
I would avoid maternity clothes till absolutely necessary. I am totally hating them. Seriously...counting down till I can get rid of them for good. You look great, I dont possibly know how you can be measuring big when you look so small.
I hope everything is going well with school. I know it is tough to go to school while pregnant (tired, so much to do, etc.). If it makes you feel better Jace is also only taking a couple of naps a week, although I make him have quite time in his room even if he doesnt take a nap. This has been the best thing ever, totally wish I would have done it with Casen. Jace now knows how to entertain himself, it is great.
You look really cute and great job taking so many pictures. I need to post mine still :) I thin that part of it could just be Koen's age. Ava went through a little while ago. Now she has moved on to the testing boundaries. Good luck with names. You know how bad I am with that.
Lookin cute Lesh!
You look so tiny! I thought your were further along then 22 weeks....because I thought your were right on with McKenzie!?!? Well I was sick of Maternity cloths too! I didnt wear the tops forever, but you can get away with that now (empire waisted shirts) and pants I would wear occasionaly around 22-23 weeks. But by 25 weeks I was really in them!
But I did hear if you have a bella band you can wear your regular pants longer?!?
Cute post leash...(I love that "C" spells it leesh!) It was so fun to have you guys come down...I will post the pics ASAP so can too if you want. A valentines party sounds like so much fun, but I wonder if it would just be like a Birthday part all over again! I think the name will come but I think you should consider some of the ones we discussed!
You look super cute Lesh!!! Good luck with picking out a name. I can't even imagine us trying to decide on one.
Fun V-day stuff! I love that you did so much with Ko. I have yet to get into the holidays with Kade. It does make it so much more fun though.
Ko is getting so big!! I can't believe it. The party looked like so much fun!!! and how cute are you prego! measuring small.... that's right! stop giving yourself chubby jokes!! you're darling!!!
Wow, you look beautiful! What a cute, tiny little belly. I love the Valentine's party idea. Ty would have loved that! I think it is so great that you are going to school. Sounds hectic, but I think you are doing an awesome job! Hang in there!
I was that person who didn't name her child until the day we LEFT the hospital. We couldn't agree on anything!! So I know how you feel, we were the same way.
You are amazing. You look Awesome and you are such a cute mom.
Don't ask me about the M-clothes. I start wearing them when I think I'm pregnant. :)
ps. Dave and I had a ton of good boy names, but the only one I can think of is Jude. It's my favorite.
Cute pictures! I wish I had a fun Valentine's Day party to go to, oh well, life goes on. I love all the pictures you took. You look cute.
You are freaking DRARLING!! What a cute outfit and what a cute prego belly. SO EXCITING!!!
We say Phil and Dustin picking up your HUGE TV at RC WIlley the other weekend. Are you just in heaven over it???
