Happy 3rd Birthday Connor!

What a great year it has been!  Connor continues to be "the best Connor" and loves his family, church, playing outside, trains, fire trucks, and his friends at 'school'.  We are excited for what this next year has in store for him! :)  We pray that God will continue to work in his heart and that he will keep showing the love of Jesus to everyone he meets.

Love you Connor-boy!

Baby Hoffman is 20 weeks along!  Half-way feels like a good milestone. :)

Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — about the size of a banana. (www.babycenter.com)

I've made it to the end of the third month - 13 weeks,

which is also the end of the first trimester! :)

Baby Hoffman at 12 weeks- 11.13.13

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

Today is actually week 13 - but we had the ultrasound last week, so I'll post a 3 month belly picture over the weekend. :)

apparently Kix must be a little tart.

or maybe that was the orange juice.

Connor's only child status is set to expire in May - when baby #2 is expected to arrive! :)
