Circus trip

We spent Saturday at the "Greatest Show on Earth." The kids had been a little under the weather, but we thought the trip might help them to feel a little better. It did. We had fun looking at all the animals and going down on the circus floor before the show. Both of them got plastic clown noses. We followed up the circus with a trip to Barnes and Nobles, a favorite stop for all of us. Lots of people have asked to see how big I was getting so we thought a picture might say it best....

22 weeks and 4 days...

I had to go the the doctor's office yesterday for a quick visit. The baby is weighing in at 1 lb and 5 oz. She seems to be progressively getting a little bigger than normal with each measurement they do. She went from being 5 days ahead at the end of December to 8 days ahead at the middle of January to now 10 days bigger than normal. I guess Steve's hope of getting a little bitty baby might not pan out. She is doing great and we go back to the doctor again at the end of February.

We got registered!!

Saturday was quite an adventure. We started our day at Target with the intent of registering for most everything there. They did not have as many things as I thought they would have. We realized that we were going to have to also register at Babies R'Us. Once we got there and saw all the perks that come with their registry, we (I) decided that we really needed to register for the bulk of the items there. So after spending 1.5 hours at Target we basically redid everything at Babies R'Us. I really don't know who was the most tired... me...Steve...or the kids. We survived though. We were able to talk to people who were very knowledgable about their products and it helped to make decisions. I did have to go online at Target and delete several items so there wouldn't be doubles anywhere. I love the internet... it makes some things so much easier.

Don't be surprised at some of the things on the Target registry... Steve was gone awhile with the scanning gun... I think he may have added a few things :)

Finally....pictures

We went to watch the Superbowl with friends this weekend and I finally learned how to post pictures. Amanda scanned in several of our ultrasound pictures that we have had done since the beginning. It was hard to pick from such a stack!! Amanda was amazed at how many we had. I laughed and told her that was what advanced maternal age gets you. I hope everyone enjoys them....


This is the latest picture. We had just had several of her sucking her fingers/thumb when Dana, our ultrasound operator, laughed and said she was now sucking her toes. You can clearly see that her foot was headed towards her mouth.


This is a picture from New Year's Eve. It was as if she know that we were looking and turned to smile at us
This is one of our early pictures from November when she still looked like an alien
