Baby Cozzens Week 12

We have another baby on the way! We are SO excited for he/she to arrive early March (due date is March 3rd.) They've been monitoring me more closely this time around due to my history of miscarriage, so I've have two ultrasounds so far. Physically I've been a little bit sick (only thrown up twice) and been tired...but I'm nearly at the end of the first trimester so it's getting a little bit better. Right now I'm just trying to enjoy being pregnant, although I find myself most days still being scared half to death and nervous-but it's getting better the closer that I get to the 2nd trimester. We went to the Dr. on Tuesday, and we were able to hear the heartbeat for the first time. I was so relieved and so excited! Here are the first pics of our little peanut:


The first two pictures were of my first ultrasound at nearly 8 weeks. At that point the baby was only 1 cm long. The little bulge in the middle is the heart, and if you look really close, you can see the little dots of the arms and legs.

This ultrasound was taken at nearly 10 weeks. The little dot by the "rump" is the foot. I think at this point the baby was about 1 inch long. Both times we were able to see the tiny heart beating, and its rate was perfect! We also got to see the arms and legs moving around. Amazing!

Thanks everyone for all your continued thoughts and prayers...we truly appreciate them.

Bubbles!

I know my mom will just think it's hilarious that I'm posting pictures of some of my vegetables, but I find myself like a proud mama since I grew these from seed. I know it's not that exciting to anyone else, but for my maiden voyage into vegetable gardening, I was very proud that everything turned out so well.

They look just a little bit alike, don't you think??

He loves his bubble machine.

Posing for the camera :)

I love this picture b/c he looks like such an ornery little boy.

Playing and Pulling up

At the ripe ol' age of 15 months our son has figured out how to pull himself up. Now if only he could figure out how to do this on the couches-or better yet, figure out how to stand up on his own! I guess that's what happens when you have a two year old body but you're only one!

Tiernan was being much more silly before we got the camera out...but here's the tail end of him walking on the couch and trying to wrestle Mom. Dads are much better at it though, and now he tackles Ethan all the time whenever Ethan's lying on the floor.
