IT'S A ...

GIRL!!!!

We went for the ultrasound on Thursday morning and we took the kids too (call us crazy, but they did good). Kate was super excited when the lady told us it was a girl, but then she lost interest for the rest of the time and Kyle had to keep her entertained. Preston sat in his stroller and jabbered to himself and ate snacks. We are glad everything looked good with the ultrasound. I was nervous so it's always a relief to hear everything looks normal. The lady kept saying how pretty the heart looked because you could clearly see all 4 chambers pumping. It's amazing how babies develop. Kate is especially happy it's a girl. Tonight she asked me, "where's the baby?" I point to my stomach to show her it's in there. She says, "it's a girl. I knew it was a girl." ha ha. She thinks she had it figured out and I guess obviously she did. :)

I scanned 2 of the ultrasound pictures. With Preston's ultrasound they gave us a 3-D copy, but they didn't this time and I didn't ask why. The baby was very active during the appointment. She almost didn't get all the measurements she needed because of how the baby was laying, but then it turned so she could get everything. Now it's onto deciding what room to the put the baby in. It would be easier to put it with Kate b/c then I don't have to redecorate any rooms. If I put it in the room where Preston is and move Preston in with Kate (like originally planned) then we'd have to redecorate two rooms. That would be way more work so we'll have to see. We don't have any names picked out yet (or at least one's we are definite on) and we told Kate that mommy and daddy get to name the baby. :)

Both kids are getting over their colds and coughs. This sickness has been lingering for a while. Both of them had fevers and threw up so we are hoping for some healthy kids soon. I worked 4 days this week filling in for a hygienist at a nice office that was put on bed rest. She is due at the end of the month. The dentist knows I'm pregnant too and there is another assistant prego so he's thinking something is in the water. ha ha. Kate finally got to go to preschool today. She was so excited and it was cute to see how excited her classmates were to have her back. We played outside for a few hours today with the neighbor kids. It was a beautiful sunny/blue sky day today and I only worked a half day so I got to enjoy the nice weather. Then, we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner tonight because I didn't want to cook and I worked a lot this week. Kyle didn't think we needed to go out (boring!) and I told him we were helping the economy. ha. Then we spent most of our rebate check at Costco which was fun. Then we got home after bedtime (8pm) and the kids crashed in bed. It was a good day.
