So I asked both of the girls what they thought the baby was, boy or girl? Josie immediately says "BOY! I want a brother!" I ask her what his name should be and she has firmly decided on Ben. When I ask Natalie boy or girl, she says "Girl!" When I ask her what we should call her, she says "Sister". So for all of you that want to know what names we are thinking about, there you go!!
More to come-
Well here is our little babe's left foot. Does it look like a boy foot or girl foot? Silliness I know.....a foot is a foot, right? It was lots of fun seeing baby's parts, all intact and miraculously perfect. heart, spine, face, hands and feet. They also gave us some 3-D photos, but they are rather creepy if you ask me, and I certainly won't post them because I cannot explain them..... I will stick with the standard pics for now.
Here baby is! Today was the ultrasound and the baby was really active. It is always crazy to see the baby moving on the screen, but not feel it. We did not find out what we were to expect in August, but I can tell you all I was thrilled that everything was in the correct place. I was having totally irrational fears about medical issues, so all of wonderful findings were great today. Baby is measuring 13 ozs. The girls went with us to the appointment and did a really good job (the snacks might have helped!). I know I was thinking girl lately, but after seeing this little being on the screen, I am back to thinking boy. I have a 50/50 shot of being right, right?
Only in Minnesota do kids play at the playground when there is still snow on the ground. Last week I got the girls to the park twice and they had a blast swingin', slidin' and screaming. Josie mastered the fireman's pole and so this is all she can talk about! Natalie secretly honed her climbing skills, so she was scaling walls, climbing this bar contraption and doing a darn good job of not falling.
I love this photo of Scott, I think he looks rather handsome myself. Josie has mastered posing for photos and Natalie, well Natalie has mastered "CHEESE" as evidenced by ALL the other photos of her on this blog!! Gotta love it. 
What all started as a quick belly shot of the growing baby became a maylay of kids playing with cameras and acting goofy. So while this is not the best photo, it sure seems like we are having fun, doesn't it?
