18 weeks :)

Do I look pregnant yet???

The book says our little bun is now a vegetable :) 5 1/2 inches long about the size of a large baking potato. I guess there aren't any fruits that measure that big. It also says that it's vocal chords are developed and working, although no sound can be heard yet because there isn't any air.

Scott and I have been wondering and sortof worrying about how the dogs will accept the new addition into their lives. We aren't worried about Sadie, she loves every kid and baby she comes in contact with, she's always a happy accepting girl. Jo and Gus were more of a concern for us. We thought Jo might be jealous and a little possesive of us towards the baby or maybe get snippy. That is our main concern with Gus too because they both are so attached to us. Well, our neighbors Kelly and Jason have Klacie who will be 4 in November and now they have Carter who was born on July 9th, as test cases :) Klacie has been around Jo for a couple years now and Jo's gotten more used to her but still isn't sure about her running around squealing. We had them over for dinner last night and we were pleasantly surprised with her reaction towards Carter. Whenever Carter would cry or make noises of any kind, Jo got so concerned, her ears perked up, she went and sat next to whoever was holding him and she'd touch his hand or foot with her nose. It was so cute to watch how worried she'd get when he'd fuss :) Gus would smell him when he would coo or just sit there quietly when I was holding him and didn't seem at all bothered by that, but would just run and hide or sit on Scott's or my foot for comfort when he heard him cry. I think having Carter around will give them a little time to get used to those smells and noises before they are around it full time. I also think they will be a little more accepting of our child because it will smell like us and be with us all the time.
