What she thinks of Mom

We had the Mothers Day party at school last Friday and it was wonderful. We did a nice potluck lunch and made crafts w/ our kids and got some great handmade gifts. Click on the pic below to see what Ry has to say about me.

3D/4D ultrasound

This was too cool, even though the baby was not cooperating at all and wouldn't give us very many good shots. Even after seeing these awesome pics Grama doesn't think that it is any different than an ultrasound. There is one in here that is just the bottom of her face that totally looks like Ry's chin and smile, and she says it looks like an ultrasound. Crazy lady that one. Love you Mommy!





(This one up above is the one that totall has Ry's chin and smile)

23 weeks

Had my monthly appointment on Monday. Everything fine, Ry was with me so she got to hear the heartbeat too. Have to take the 3 hour glucose test again in May. Blech. Feeling her move around a lot more now and I'm loving it.

Still working on names - sort of. I have my list, and he is not adding anything to it.

We'll probably paint the girls room in May when Grama is in town. We are going to try and find some girly material that will work for both girls to make them matching blankets and stuff.

Tucson Karate Tournament and 5 year check up

1st place for fastest kick!!!! Got a big trophy and she was very excited, but also disappointed that she didn't get a trophy for every event. So silly.

On Monday morning she went to my Dr. appointment and she thinks it is too funny that I have to pee in a cup. Well, that afternoon was her 5 year check up and she had to pee in a cup too. Her doc was asking how she is doing and I told him all she is learning in preschool, can count to 100, writes her name, can read simple books, knows her ABC's in sign language, etc... He asked how her speech was, because of course, she is shy and just sits there. I tell her she speaks really well, and carries on full conversations. I asked her to show the Dr how well she speaks and she said "blah, blah blah, blah blah" He just laughed and said oh great she has a sense of humor too.

Then came the trauma! Other than when she was a baby, she has never had a problem with shots, and has even been excited to go get shots. She watches and everything. I don't know what happened this time, all I can think is she didn't like the nurse that came in to give all the shots. She freaked out. She had to start w/ a finger prick for Anemia test, and she was not going for it. I had to try and hold her down and she was screaming bloody murder. The nice nurse then came in when she heard all the screaming and she held her while I stood behind her and cried myself for my poor baby. It just got worse and she screamed so loud the entire time. She had to get that finger stick, 4 shots and TB test. The poor nurses ears are probably still ringing, since she was screaming right into her ear. She cried off and on the whole way home and then was fine once we got home. Her Grandma had to take her back in yesterday to check her arm from the TB test and everything fine w/ that. Lucky for all of us, other than the flu shot we all get every year she doesn't need anymore shots until she's 9 or 10.

Tomorrow both Mr H and I took off to go on a field trip w/ her. That will be fun.

Tuesday we go register my baby for kindergarten. I am now glad of the spacing of my kids. I'll be off her 1st 3 months of kindergarten to take her and pick her up everyday and it will just be me and the new baby all day while she is at school. I still can't believe she is starting kindergarten though.

That's about it for now. I am off today too, so I think when I pick her up we have to go to Burger King for lunch as they have Ironman toys. My little superhero freak!!!!

name the baby

Added a link to the current list - all subject to change of course....

Cast your votes, hurry quick! Ultrasound is Monday.

Do you think it will be a boy or a girl? Vote right over there to the right - hurry quick though!!!!

2 teamleaders at my work say girl by the way I am carrying.

Here is a pic, not the best, but taken by a way too excited Ry at this hour of the night when I have to try and get her to bed.

Girly Girlz!!!!!

Since she is suddenly in a girly phase, today I took her to Girly Girlz in case she reverts back to no girly stuff phase. It was a fun, cute time. She decided on the Diva Rockstar look.

More Karate pics

Click for bigger view - the pic w/ the sword is going to be made into a poster for her room.

Mom's a slacker...

I didn't ever update on the Karate Tournament that Ry was in on March 2. Here she is getting ready.

It was pretty cute to see all these little kids. I know the pictures is blurry, but it was cute to see the kids all file into the gym like this....

She participated in the strongest punch and strongest kick as well as fastest fist and fastest kick. She got 3rd place in fastest kick. It was very exciting. Here she is so very thrilled after she got her trophy.

Finally, here she is with all her medals and trophy.

She had a blast and we may even go to the next tournament in Tucson in April.

Big sister loves the baby

We took this today while getting big sisters birthday pics.

Everything is going great. Tired all the time, but that is nothing new. We go March 24 to see what the baby is. Hopefully it will cooperate and we can tell w/o a doubt what it is so I can get the room done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

My baby is 5!!!! I can't hardly believe it. Here are the birthday pics we had done.

We have had a wonderful birthday week. Ry even said it was the best birthday ever, even better than Disneyland. I think she's a little crazy for thinking that, but I am just happy she is having so much fun.

Monday we went to Jump N Play

Tuesday we went to Ikea so she could play in the playground - her choice.

Wednesday we got haircut, took pictures, and played at mall playground, which she chose over rollerskating. Her Grandma Linda came over with her cousin and Uncle Phillip came over to open presents and then we all went to birthday dinner at TGI Fridays.

Thursday we are going to play mini golf in an indoor place when Daddy and brother get home.

Friday we haven't decided yet, but we may go to a movie.

The cutest little (almost) 5 year old ever!!!!!!!

Here are the pony pics from Ry's school....(click on them if you want to see them bigger)

Check this out

First, check out this cool pic Steph made out of my last Ultrasound pic...

Second, I got the results back from my Ultrascreen already. The genetic counselor said everything looks very good, very normal, very low risk and that I have as good a chance as a 20 year old at having a healthy baby. Woo hoo - my old eggs are still wonderful!!!

12 weeks 1 day

We had the Ultrascreen today. I had already sent in the blood, but the doc wasn't in today that can read the nuchal translucency part so I won't be able to get results until tomorrow afternoon.


Got some new pics of the baby.....

A head on view that closely resembles an Alien and another side profile view.

Poor little thing....

When her brother goes to the neighbors behind us to play and jump on the trampoline, she justs hangs out on her Jungle Gym and watches them.

(You must click on the last picture to see her being all angry at me)

Tonight

We told the kids about the baby tonight. I showed Ry the ultrasound pic and told her it was her new baby brother or sister. "SISTER!" she said. I said we don't know yet, it's just her baby brother OR sister. "SISTER!" she shouted again. I explained again that we didn't know and it was up to God if we got a brother or sister. Later on at bedtime she told me she has talked to God 3 times already tonight asking for a sister.

She is too funny, last time we talked about having a baby she wanted a brother, and I am sure she will change her mind many more times before this baby comes.
