meet benjamin.

today we went in for our 4d ultrasound & it was absolutely amazing & worth every penny. of course benjamin decided to be uncooperative & buried his face in the placenta a ton of the time, but we were still able to get a lot of good pictures. 

his cute little face. half of it is hidden by the placenta.

he started to move around a bit & put his arm in front of his face.

another one with his arm in front of his face. i love his little puckered lips & chubby cheeks.

this one makes me melt. i love his little open mouth. 

we tired another angle, we're now looking through the placenta at him. it looks like he's sucking on his lip.

his little nose is adorable.  

we were finally able to get a semi good shot of him straight on. 

at the end he posed for some profile shots. 

his stubborn side totally came out & we tried over & over to get him to move some more. i even tried getting up & moving around, which helped a little. it was amazing to see his mouth & eyes open & close. we even got to see him throw a little tantrum...we were tapping him trying to get him to move when he arched his back & then moved so his face was completely away from us. he has a little stubbornness in him already. we definitely made confirmation that he is a boy, too, which we were very relieved about. haha. 

we can't wait to see him & hold him & get to see his little personality. only about 10 weeks left till he's due so technically it can be anytime now. 

crazy month.

we hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving, christmas & great new years eve! we've had a busy month hanging out with family & friends & really enjoyed the holiday's this year.

alysia is 29 weeks along, only 11 weeks to go! time is just flying by & everyday we get more & more excited about benjamin coming. he is quite the mover, alysia's not sure if he even sleeps during the day he's been moving so much. last doctor appointment everything looked great, alysia & benjamin are doing awesome. we go back in about a week & a half for their next check up.

nate is starting school in about a week & a half at saddleback college in mission viejo. he's using his time between jobs to take some computer classes to better his design skills. he'll have a busy schedule, taking classes 4 nights a week.

as you may have guessed, with nate going to school in mission viejo, we'll be moving to mission viejo within the next few weeks. we'll be living with nate's parents & are really excited to be near our friends & their new little ones.

please keep us in prayer...we are trusting in god's plan for us & even though it's hard to move again so close to benjamin coming we really feel that god has a plan for us in orange county even though we can't make out what is coming around the corner. please pray that god provides nate with a job & a place for us to live. we are so thankful for the opportunities that we have been blessed with in living with our families, but we are looking forward to having our own place again to raise benjamin & have our davy jones with us.

we'll have pictures up soon...
