i have been busy and need to post more. i want to write lots right now but i am at work so a promise is all i can get out.
Briefly, i had a 22 week ultrasound last Saturday. there was some concern with a Quad test that pointed to some possible genetic issues but that was all clarified with this exam because the correct due date matched one that was determined at the last ultrasound about 3 weeks ago and based on those numbers, and the actual images of the baby, everything looks as good as it can for now.
the world knows this already, but it's a boy. i have been buying lots of clothes, including the outfit i would like him to wear home from the hospital. i am also already buying diapers when on sale, and am prepping Ella by encouraging her new liking of taking care of her "baby", a stuffed dog Carl bought her months ago.
on her own, she started putting him to "night, night", then i bought her a stroller to push him around in, and then i showed her how he fit in her highchair so she could feed him, and last night i put him in a diaper and gave him a pacifier so he could go to bed with her. she didn't like the diaper part but this morning she was keen on giving him a pacifier. very cute.
i have lots of photos of all of these things and i PROMISE to put them on here soon.
