20 Week Ultrasound

Well, Friday the 15th of February brought another doctor's appointment and our first ultrasound. I guess it is comforting to have a professional check out all of the parts that you can't see, but have been growing inside of you for the past months... Everything checked out good so far, and we didn't find out the sex of our baby. I am not saying the temptation was not there...because it was!
But our baby is right on schedule and weighs 13 oz. Roughly the weight of a pop can! We are still up in the air with names...actually haven't discussed it at all to be honest.

Who knows what we will come up with??

Bored on a Sunday

Last Sunday, we ate lunch at G-ma and G-pa Carrs' house. The afternoon consisted of looking at scrapbooks and trying on old wedding dresses. We firmly decided that both Grandma Carole and Great Gma Carr were both skinny minnies... Grandma's wedding dress barely fit Jada, who is a 6th grader and a string bean at that! It was fun to laugh and watch Jada try on the old dresses and imagine what those dresses could say if only they could talk!!

19 weeks

On Sunday, we will be 19 weeks pregnant. It is hard to believe that we are just about 1/2 done! I am so happy when I think about this summer...I am not interested in being pregnant any more and I can't wait until baby #3 joins our family. We have yet to even discuss names...?? what is the matter with us? It seems like with all the other activities that are going on, it is hard to direct your attention toward something like talking about names... which is totally weird, because finding a name is not an easy task by any means! (So if any of you have any suggestions...feel free to send them our way!!)

On the 15th, we will have our first ultrasound...Wes informed me he may be snowmobiling... so I told him that was fine, I would just find out the sex and not tell him that I knew... needless to say he is not going snowmobiling "it didn't work out..." So we are not off the hook yet! We still have a little over a week to decide if we will find out the sex of our baby...We didn't with Kalleigh, did with Abigail-Wes was adamant he had to know... now I think I want to know, but I am not sure...and he doesn't want to know...Decisions, Decisions, Decisions....I know we should wait... but a part of me is interested to see what is growing inside of me...boy or girl?? I am not sure I can wait! But I am not sure I want to find out either.....

Our house has been HIT!

Well, after all of the bragging I have been doing lately regarding the health of our girls, I think I jinxed us... We have not had anything even resembling the sniffles since Halloween, when Kalleigh was sick and unable to go trick-or-treating...

We have spent this week dosing up on cough medicine, tylenol and hanging out on the couch... Needless to say I have missed work, which doesn't usually happen...all of my high school boys were concened something was wrong with me...I think they forget that outside of school I am also a mother, and spend my time caring for 2 little girls... This is a nice change considering 90% of my day is spent with teenage boys with testosterone issues... It is nice to have a little variety... They say that variety is the spice of life, right??

Abigail is finally "healthy" minus the million kleenexes she goes through each day-and her cough...but her temp is gone and she is back to her wild antics...
Kalleigh on the other hand is still down and out...She told me today she needed to walk on her tippy toes because walking on her "full foot" makes her head hurt...poor lady!
Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

Kalleigh's First Violin Recital

On February 2nd, Kalleigh had her first violin recital in Sioux Falls. Granted her part in the recital was quite small, it was still fun to watch her stand up in front of the chapel with her violin with all of Ms. Yuko's other students. The smaller students only played a few songs, then they were allowed to be seated with their parents. By the end of the recital there were only 6 students remaining on stage...one of whom was an 8 year old girl who was able to play the songs with ease! It was fun to watch and imagine where Kalleigh will be down the road if she continues to want to take lessons. Either way it was a fun day! Now I just have to figure out how to download our videos onto utube so you all can enjoy her "beautiful" music!!
