Baby Update

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Nora will have a little sister in August! Well, it's an 80% chance of a girl based on the u/s results. Andy, Nora and I went in for a 20 week ultrasound Friday morning and got to see our new little one squirm around (and wow, did she move!). It was a lot of fun watching our second baby move and wriggle. We got to watch her suck her thumb, practice chewing, and kick her feet. At one point, Nora was laying across my chest watching the baby on the screen. She pointed to the baby and said "baby" and then pointed to my belly and said "baby," so she seems to know something is going on!

Here are some photos from our ultrasound.

Springtime - Nora's first big boo boo

Happy Spring to everyone! We've been enjoying the nice weather. Nora and I have spent a few hours outside everyday recently. It's been so nice to get the fresh air, and Nora is enjoying getting to walk around on the grass. We are working on learning outside boundaries - like not walking into the street. She's getting better, but sometimes likes to test boundaries and runs off squealing with delight!

Nora had a not so fun day on Wednesday. We were playing with some friends and Nora fell and landed on her mouth. Poor thing split her upper lip and frenulum. It bled quite a bit, and I felt really bad for her. She nursed for a few minutes as we walked down the street and back into our friends house. Once she had some ice water (with a straw - what a treat!) and lots of cuddles, we read a few books and she seemed ok. Her lip was pretty swollen and Wednesday night was tough because every time she rolled onto her belly, she would hit her lip and wake up. Kids are amazingly resilient though, and the swelling is almost gone. She is such a trooper.
