1-2-3 and "It's" Still a She!

We love this warm weather. Love it. Love it. Bring on summer, PLEASE?! I don't think I can take one more day of that place I call work. I have never had such politics to deal with regarding a measly thing called a schedule (for the kids' classes). You wouldn't believe the nasty phone calls and visits (and names) I get from parents (and even some co-workers) because their kids cannot get EVERYTHING they want in their schedule. I wonder sometimes what will happen to them when (IF) they go to college and they realize that it's even harder to get the classes you want - will the parents call the registrar's office and say nasty things? Probably. Ugh. Time. For. Summer. Amen.

We had a follow up ultrasound today. Nothing wrong, but apparently my child (monkey #2) was very wild in utero during my U/S last month and they had a hard time getting the "perfect" pictures of some of the body (i.e. the spine - apparently it's difficult to get a picture of the whole spine when they are as "big" as they are at the 20 week scan so they have to do it in segments with the baby lying in the exact same position for all three segments). Apparently she was too wiggly for that last month (could it be the caffeine I drank before the appt to be sure that she would move around enough to see her "goods"?? I read that was what you were supposed to do to avoid a "shy" baby). So anyway, today we confirmed that she is really a she (first image we saw - sorry, no picture this time - much to the relief of Nana AGAIN), but she was being a bit of a stinker and was rolled up into a ball (she couldn't possibly be running out of room already?!), so not the best picture again, so we shall see what the verdict is on possibly needing ANOTHER U/S. I don't mind, I love seeing her!

Second big news (I know, I know - big deal to some of you) - Monkey can count to 7! What the heck?! I never taught him that, he just started counting out of the blue this weekend but will only do it when he feels like it and not when prompted. Whatev, it's still adorable!

Happy warm weather week!
