As always, we've been really busy lately!
The most recent news is that we went for another ultrasound on Monday.
Although it won't be confirmed until Feb. 20th, the tech said she
believes we're having another little girl! The 4D images look a little
weird. They warned us that at this point in pregnancy babies tend
to look a bit alien-like, which was true, but it was still amazing
to see the baby kicking and moving all around. We brought a VHS tape
and they recorded about an hour worth of u/s footage for us.
In other news, Kaili is growing like crazy and seems to understand
a little more about a baby coming. She had been acting a little
unsure around babies for a bit, but last night we went to dinner
with some
co-workers and she was thrilled
to be sitting in a highchair next to a little one under a year
old. She kept touching his hand and smiling at him and calling
him "nice
baby." I asked her if she wanted a baby at home and she said
"YEAH!!!" with much enthusiasm. It was so cute! She also comes
up and rubs
my tummy and says "baby."
Over the weekend we took Kaili to the Manatee Festival at
Blue Springs. She really had a good time! There was a frisbee catching
dog show going on that we watched for a bit. She stood up on the
bleachers, to get a good view, and she'd clap whenever one of the
dogs would catch a frisbee. Then we headed over to the springs to
see the manatees. There were a good amount of them there, closer
to the river. I think that its getting too warm now and they are
getting ready to head more north for the year. We walked up the boardwalk
to see the main spring and then walked back down. Kaili spotted the
playground as soon as it was in view and she ran over to the slides
and the swings to play. It was her first time actually sitting by
herself in a bigger swing - she LOVED it! |
