Well Baby Sister (that's what we call you here until we figure out your name!) You are now about 11inches and about the size of a Spaghetti Squash and almost a full pound! Your lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct and your tooth buds are even forming. Your irises still lack pigment but mama's got her fingers crossed for blue! You are definitely moving and kicking more, so that makes me very happy. I don't feel big enough to be 22 weeks but I think that is a blessing, I gained way too much weight with Natalia and would like to keep it to a normal number this time around. Well Baby Sister, not only are we 22 weeks today... it's Father's Day. I would like to introduce you to your Daddy. He's a great daddy and will love you lots and lots. He works very hard every day so that Mommy can stay home with you and Natalia. He will take you outside and play with you when he gets home though! He's good at being goofy and playing hide and seek, or Peeka as Natalia says. He's been working very hard this weekend to get what will be your bedroom cleaned out. Sometimes he gets flustered when he doesn't understand what Natalia needs so just be patient with him. He will figure it out and I promise he will take care of you. No matter what though he will always be there for you guys and be the very best daddy he can be. With that I will leave you with photos of your Daddy and Big Sister Natalia, as you can see he likes to make goofy faces... but Natalia sure does love her time with her daddy! So I realize now that a lot of my more current photos are downstairs on the laptop, so I don't have any of the fun ones of Daddy and Natalia playing outside here on this blog... but I don't want to transfer them right now. =) But, you guys get the gist.... they have a lot of fun together and I can't wait to see him in action with our new little one.
We are the Hodgepodges... or The Hodges. Charlie and I started dating back in highschool and have been married since September of 2006. On our two year wedding anniversary we went to Italy to celebrate... and came home pregnant with our beautiful snuggle bug. Natalia was born June 2, 2009. We found out we were pregnant with Lydia our beautiful love bug on Valentines of 2011, She was born October 12, 2011 after many attempts to come meet us early. We found out we were pregnant again in July '13, and big sister was convinced from day one it was a baby brother and she was right! Quinton joined our family in March 6th 2014. I have the best job in the world and I get to stay home with them everyday. Life is good!
