17 Months and 22 Weeks...

Addison is now 17 months old! Crazy!
She still loves to read, sing and dance. She knows most parts of her body, has begun to learn her colors, alphabet and is starting to count (she can count to 10 - most of the time and pretty accurately). She also loves to color.
Her personality is still outgoing, silly and extremely funny (just like her mom)! She loves life, her friends and Dora (still).
She is down to one nap a day (after lunch) and sleeps for 1.5-2 hours.
She still likes to eat (just like her mom) and is not picky at all. She has a great pallet and will eat a wide variety of foods. She has even started to use her silverware! (better late than never...)

Onto baby Pitzer...
I am now 22 weeks and am getting quite round. I've been able to feel the baby moving and kicking for a week or two now. (My favorite part of pregnancy!)
My appetite is pretty much back to normal, except the baby doesn't like me to eat meat all that much. Weird?!
I have been feeling really...normal. I have a good amount of energy and not been sick in over a month! Yippee!!!!!!
I don't really remember getting them w/ Addi, but I just started getting Braxton Hicks Contractions this week (all the time). They aren't painful at all, but you definitely know they are there.
Grandma Pitzer and I picked out fabrics last week and she will soon begin to make the bed skirt, bumper and quilt for the baby. It's going to look so cool. What a special gift!

That's about it. We are all well and happy.
It's Friday, which means "Neighborhood Happy Hour" - Gotta go!

Halftime pics - GO BLUE!!

Update

I want to thank you all for keeping us in your prayers this past week. Matt's test came back negative!! So we should have a perfectly healthy baby.

The geneticist said to tell my family members that; all of you of child bearing age should have this blood test done (even before you have kids) to know if you are a carrier of this.
The strand I have is common and is called a 1148T mutation. Unless it was paired with another mutation (3199del6)on the same chromosome AND paired with another mutation strand from Matt (which we know is not possible) then and only then would out kid's have the possibility of having CF. Confusing stuff, I know!! I have my lab report and can try to answer questions if you have any.

I also wanted to inform you of the official change in due date. As of yesterday, the due date is now 1/26/08. This means that I am a bit over 20 weeks preggo.
The baby looked perfectly healthy, weighed about 13oz., and was not shy about showing it's genitalia to the tech (she even made us turn our heads a few times it was so obvious).

The Pitzer's

Name Poll

Once again, it's back to the drawing board to find the "perfect name" for the new little Pitzer. We have had tons of help (and a few disagreements) and have finally come to a few that we all (Matt, Megan, my sisters and I) actually like and are in running for consideration. So, here they are, please let us know which ones you like and why...

GIRL:

Natalie (meaning; born at Christmas - Ironic, huh?!) Grace
OR
Sydney (meaning: wide meadow) Grace

BOY:

Not sure which spelling... Reece/Rhys (meaning:enthusiasm) Matthew
OR
Matthew (meaning: gift of God) Van (Dutch - cool, meaning:of or from the family of) ... He would go by VAN.
