It's A...

GIRL!!!  We're having another little girl! I hope she doesn't mind that the first picture I ever post of her is a butt shot.  Sorry little one! She's looking great and everything is where it's supposed to be. 
Cute little arms and hands.
And a profile picture. Aaron would like you all to take notice of his track record in knowing the gender of our children.  He is 4 for 4, while I am 0 for 4. Maybe he can make a business out of this amazing skill. :)  I went out and celebrated and got a pair of pink socks to make it feel more real to me while I was still in town.  They're so cute and tiny! Ana and Abby were quite delighted by the news of a new sister. David was initially slightly disappointed, but took comfort in the fact that his room and Legos will remain safe, and he will continue to have Dad all to himself when it's boy's night out. 

How about you? Did you know the gender of your children before they were born or before you had an ultrasound? Any fun stories out there about finding out?

    I'm just tickled pink! Nope, no opportunity to know the gender back in the day :) We both thought the first would be a girl and weren't prepared with a boy's name. For the next two we made sure to have names for either gender. Love and blessings, MomK/GrammaK-

    I thought your sister would be a boy because she was so active...wrong. Then I thought your brother was going to be a nice quiet girl because he barely moved...wrong again. So when you were jumping all around in there...just like your sister.....I finally got it right....a girl ...and guess what? You turned out to be a girl ! HA !

    The ultrasound on my last baby- after my mom had EIGHT grandsons already, no granddaughters- was "clearly a girl" according to the doc! He said, 25 years ago when ultrasounds were not as clear, that he usually did not predict girls, but this was clearly a girl, "or a VERY unhappy little boy!". He told me to paint the nursery pink, go buy dresses! Needless to say, I did not believe him, and it was, in fact, a boy, and not an "unhappy" one!

    Congrats! She's gorgeous already. I was absolutely positive I was having a girl. In fact, everyone I knew, except Randall, knew I was having a girl. I had girls names picked out and even came close to buying girlie clothes and room decor. As soon as they started the ultrasound it was blatantly obvious that was no girl inside me. Before the tech even said "It's a boy!" I knew he was a boy. Randall was so excited.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
