Third???? Trimester????

Already?

I'm not sure I'm ready for this baby bouncing business. 2 kids under 2 years old, under 14 months. I'm crazy, right? Don't answer that.

Colt Montgomery has had an excellent month. Sweet boy had an important ultrasound called a Fetal Echocardiogram. During this hour long procedure, the technician and doctor spent time admiring Colt's perfect heart. This visit provided us with a lot of assurances.

Colt's heart looks wonderful- in fact "beautiful" according to the doctor. It's nice to hear that his heart is unaffected by the diabetes.

Also, my son is definitely Daddy's little mini-me. He needed to show off and make his audience laugh during the ultrasound. Colt swung around his arms, heard his sister talking and moved his mouth like "blah blah blah", and push his tongue further out of his mouth than I knew was possible. This was also very reassuring, as he couldn't stick his tongue out that far if he was tongue tied. Lucy was tongue tied at birth, struggled with eating, went 2 days without a wet diaper and therefore had dangerously high jaundice levels that put her back in the hospital after birth. The pediatrician had to "clip" her frenulum in order to allow her to eat, but Colt will more than likely not have this issue. I'm hoping this will make breast feeding easier this go round.

Finally, just like his daddy, Colt held up both thumbs and made a goofy face for his photo. Typical Jason Colliver photo face. Apparently, typical Colt Colliver photo face too. It's reassuring that Colt already seems to have many of his daddy's characteristics. My guys will probably drive me crazy from time to time- and probably drive Lucy crazy even more often, but they're mine. I wouldn't have it any other way.

So I guess I might be crazy, but I'm crazy in love with my hubby and my babies. And I can't imagine a better way or time to further this crazy beautiful life. Thanks be to God for my sweet healthy boy. Check him out...
